Trang 4Although Chicago's South Side was the main jazz center, some musicians in New York were also demanding attention in jazz circles In 1923 Fletcher Henderson already had a ten - piece band that played jazz During the early 1930's, the number of players grew to sixteen Henderson's band was considered a leader in what some people have called the Big Band Era By the 1930's, big dance bands were the rage Large numbers of people went to ballrooms to dance to jazz music played by big bands

as a young boy and later began writing original musical compositions The first of Ellington's European tours came in 1933 He soon received international fame for his talent as a band leader, composer and arranger Ten years later, Ellington began giving annual concerts at Carnegie Hall in New York City People began to listen to jazz in the same way, that they had always listened to classical music

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42
Any rock that has cooled and solidified from a molten state is an igneous rock Therefore, if the Earth began
as a superheated sphere in space, all the rocks making up its crust may well have been igneous and thus the ancestors of all other rocks Even today, approximately 95 percent of the entire crust is igneous Periodically, molten material wells out of the Earth's interior to invade the surface layers or to flow onto
Trang 5the surface itself This material cools into a wide variety of igneous rocks In the molten state, it is called magma as it pushes into the crust and lava when it runs out onto the surface
All magma consists basically of a variety of silicate minerals (high in silicon-oxygen compounds), but the chemical composition of any given flow may differ radically from that of any other The resulting igneous rocks will reflect these differences Igneous rocks also vary in texture as well as chemistry Granite, for instance, is a coarse-grained igneous rock whose individual mineral crystals have formed to a size easily seen by the naked eye A slow rate of cooling has allowed the crystals to reach this size Normally, slow cooling occurs when the crust is invaded by magma that remains buried well below the surface Granite
may be found on the surface of the contemporary landscape, but from its coarse texture we know that it
must have formed through slow cooling at a great depth and later been laid bare by erosion Igneous rocks with this coarse-grained texture that formed at depth are called plutonic
On the other hand, if the same magma flows onto the surface and is quickly cooled by the atmosphere, the resulting rock will be fine-grained and appear quite different from granite, although the chemical
composition will be identical This kind of rock is called rhyolite The most finely grained igneous rock is
volcanic glass or obsidian, which has no crystals Some researchers believe this is because of rapid cooling; others believe it is because of a lack of water vapor and other gases in the lava The black obsidian cliffs
of Yellowstone National Park are the result of a lava flow of basalt running head on into a glacier Some
of the glacier melted on contact, but suddenly there also appeared a huge black mass of glassy stone

A the Earth began as a molten mass
B a thin layer of magma flows beneath the Earth's crust
C the minerals found in igneous rock are very common
D igneous rock is continually being formed

A pushed up from below the crust by magma
B produced during a volcanic explosion
C gradually exposed due to erosion
D pushed up by the natural shifting of the Earth
Question 40 Which of the following is produced when magma cools rapidly?
A Granite B Plutonic rock C Rhyolite D Mineral crystals

Trang 6A minutely B loosely C sensitively D purely

The work of the railroad pioneers in America became the basis for a great surge of railroad building halfway through the nineteenth century that linked the nation together as never before Railroads eventually became the nation's number one transportation system and remained so until the construction of the interstate highway system halfway through the twentieth century They were of crucial importance in stimulating
economic expansion, but their influence reached beyond the economy and was pervasive in American
society at large
By 1804, English, as well as American inventors, had experimented with steam engines for moving land vehicles In 1920, John Stevens ran a locomotive and cars around in a circular track on his New Jersey estate, which the public saw as an amusing toy And in 1825, after opening a short length of a track, the Stockton to Darlington Railroad in England became the first line to carry general traffic American business people, especially those in the Atlantic coastal region who looked for better communication with the West, quickly became interested in the English experiment The first company in America to begin actual operations was the Baltimore and Ohio, which opened a thirteen mile length of track in 1830 It used a team of horses to pull a train of passenger carriages and freight wagons along the track, steam locomotive power didn't come into regular service until two years later
However, for the first decade or more, there was not yet a true railroad system Even the longest of the lines were relatively short in the 1830's, and most of them served simply to connect water routes to each other, not to link one railroad to another Even when two lines did connect, the tracks often differed in width, so cars from one line couldn't fit onto tracks of the next line Schedules were unreliable and wrecks were frequent Significantly, however, some important developments during the 1830's and 1840's included the introduction of heavier iron rails, more flexible and powerful locomotives, and passenger cars were
redesigned to become more stable, comfortable, and larger By the end of 1830 only 23 miles of track had
been laid in the country But by 1936, more than 1,000 miles of track had been laid in eleven States, and within the decade, almost 3,000 miles had been constructed By that early age, the United States had already
surpassed Great Britain in railroad construction, and particularly from the mid-1860's, the late nineteenth
century belonged to the railroads

C American businessmen saw railroads as a threat to established businesses
D Steam locomotives replaced horses because of the distances across the country

because _
A passenger cars were not stable, comfortable or large
B locomotives were not powerful enough
C schedules were unreliable and wrecks were frequent
D lines were relatively short and not usually linked
