Part 2: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to

Industrialization came to the United State after 1790 as North American entrepreneurs increased
productivity by reorganizing work and building factories. These innovations in manufacturing boosted
output and living standards to an unprecedented extent; the average per capita wealth increased by nearly
1 percent per year - 30 percent over the course of a generation. Goods that had once been luxury items
became part of everyday life.
The impressive gain in output stemmed primarily from the way in which workers made goods, since
the 1790’s, North American entrepreneurs - even without technological improvements - had broadened
the scope of the outwork system that made manufacturing more efficient by distributing materials to a
succession of workers who each performed a single step of the production process. For example, during
the 1820’s and 1830’s the shoe industry greatly expanded the scale of the outwork system. Tens of
thousands of rural women, paid according to the amount they produced, fabricated the “uppers” of shoes,
which were bound to the soles by wage-earning journeymen shoemakers in dozens of Massachusetts
towns, whereas previously journeymen would have made the enduring shoe. This system of production
made the employer a powerful “shoe boss” and eroded workers’ control over the pace and conditions of
labor. However, it also dramatically increased the output of shoes while cutting their price.
 For tasks that were not suited to the outwork system, entrepreneurs created an even more important
new organization, the modem factory, which used power-driven machines and assembly line techniques
to turn out large quantities of well-made goods. As early as 1782 the prolific Delaware inventor Oliver
Evans had built a highly automated, laborsaving flour mill driven by water power. His machinery lifted
the grain to the top of the milt, cleaned it as it fell into containers known as hoppers, ground the grain into
flour, and then conveyed the flour back to the top of the mill to allow it to cool as it descended into
barrels. Subsequently, manufacturers made use of new improved stationary steam engines to power their
mills. This new technology enabled them to build factories in the nation’s largest cities, taking advantage
of urban concentrations of inexpensive labor, good transportation networks, and eager customers.

Question 24. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The difficulties of industrialization in North America
B. The influence of changes in manufacturing on the growth of urban centers
C. The rapid speed of industrialization in North America
D. Improved ways of organizing the manufacturing of goods
Question 25. The word “scope” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _________.
A. value B. popularity C. extent D. diversity
Question 26. The author mentions the shoe industry in the second paragraph to provide an example of
how ___________.
A. entrepreneurs increased output by using an extended outwork system
B. entrepreneurs used technological improvements to increase output
C. rural workers responded to “shoe bosses”
D. changes in the outwork system improved the quality of shoes
Question 27. All of the following are true of the outwork system EXCEPT _________.
A. It involved stages of production.
B. It was more efficient than the systems used before 1790.
C. It made many employers less powerful than they had been before.
D. It did not necessarily involve any technological improvements.
Question 28. The word “prolific” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _________.
A. famous B. productive C. self-employed D. progressive
Question 29. According to the passage, how did later mills differ from the mills built by Oliver Evans?
A. They were located away from large cities.
B. They used new technology to produce power.
C. They did not allow flour to cool before it was placed in Barrels.
D. They combined technology with the outwork system.
