Staggering tasks confronted the people of the United States North and South, when the Civil War

ended About a million and a half soldiers from both sides had to be demobilized, readjusted to civilian

Civil government also had to be put back on a peacetime basis and interference from the military had to be stopped The desperate plight of the South has eclipsed the fact that reconstruction had to be undertaken also in the North, though less spectacularly Industries had to adjust to peacetime conditions: factories had to be retooled for civilian needs

Financial problems loomed large in both the North and the South The national debt had shot up from a modest $ 65 million in 1861, the year the war started, to nearly $3 billion in 1865, the year the war ended This was a colossal sum for those days but one that a prudent government could pay At the same time, war taxes had to be reduced to less burdensome levels

Physical devastation caused by invading armies, chiefly in the South and border states, had to be

repaired This Herculean task was ultimately completed, but with discouraging slowness.

Other important questions needed answering What would be the future of the four million Black people who were freed from slavery? On what basis were the Southern states to be brought back into the Union?

What of the Southern leaders, all of whom were liable to charges of treason? One of these leaders, Jefferson Davis, president of the Southern Cofederacy, was the subject of an insulting popular Northern song, “Hang Jeff Davis from a Sour Apple Tree”, and even children sang it Davis was temporarily chained in his prison cvell during the early days of his two –year imprisonment But he and the other

Southern leaders were finally released, partly because it was unlikely that a jury from Virginia, a Southern

Confederate state, would convict them All the leaders were finally pardoned by President Johnson in

1868 in an effort to help reconstruction efforts proceed with as little bitterness as possible

IX Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each of the following questions (from

71 to 80).

Sharks have gained an unfair reputation for being fierce predators of large sea animals Humanity's unfounded fear and hatred of these ancient creatures is leading to a worldwide slaughter that may result in

the extinction of many coastal shark species The shark is the victim of a warped attitude of wildlife

protection; we strive only to protect the beautiful, non-threatening parts of our environment And, in our efforts to restore only non-threatening parts of our earth, we ignore other important parts

A perfect illustration of this attitude is the contrasting attitude toward another large sea animal, the dolphin During the 1980s, environmentalists in the United States protested the use of driftnets for

tuna fishing in the Pacific Ocean since these nets also caught dolphins The environmentalists generated

enough political and economic pressure to prevent tuna companies from buying tuna that had been caught

in driftnets In contrast to this effort on behalf of the dolphins, these same environmentalists have done very little to help save the Pacific Ocean sharks whose population has decreased nearly to the point of extinction Sharks are among the oldest creatures on earth, having survived in the seas for more than 350 million years They are extremely efficient animals, feeding on wounded or dying animals, thus

performing an important role in nature of weeding out the weaker animals in a species Just the fact that species such as the Great White Shark have managed to live in the oceans for so many millions of years

is enough proof of their efficiency and adaptability to changing environments It is time for us humans, who may not survive another 1,000 years at the rate we are damaging the planet, to cast away our fears

and begin considering the protection of sharks as an important part of a program for protection of all our natural environment

Question 71: With which of the following topics is this passage primarily concerned?

A Sharks are efficient creatures with bad reputations.

B The campaign to save dolphins was not extended to save sharks.

C Sharks are some of the oldest creatures on earth.

D Sharks illustrate a problem in wildlife protection.

Question 72: Which of the following is most similar to the meaning of the word "warped"?

Question 73: In the second paragraph, the word "generated" could be best replaced by

Question 74: How did environmentalists manage to protect dolphins?

A They prevented fishermen from selling them for meat.

B They created sanctuaries where dolphin fishing was not allowed.

C They pressured fishermen into protecting dolphins by law.

D They brought political pressure against tuna companies.

Question 75: About how long have sharks lived on the planet?

A 25 million years B 350 million years C 150 million years D 500 million years

Question 76: The author uses the phrase "weeding out" to mean

A getting rid of something that is unwanted B feeding something that is hungry

C strengthening something that is weak D encouraging something that is efficient

Question 77: The phrase "managed to live" is used to infer that

A surviving was difficult B procreation was expanding

Question 78: The word "proof" could be best replaced by which of the following?

Question 79: The phrase "to cast away" means most nearly

A to throw off B to set apart C to bring in D to see through

Question 80: What is the author's tone in this passage?

- THE END
