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 following questions from 50 to 59.

Cities develop as a result of functions that they can perform Some functions result directly from the

ingenuity of the citizenry, but most functions result from the needs of the local area and of the

surrounding hinterland (the region that supplies goods to the city and to which the city furnishes services and other goods) Geographers often make a distinction between the situation and the site of a city Situation refers to the general position in relation to the surrounding region, whereas site involves physical characteristics of the specific location Situation is normally much more important to the continuing prosperity of a city If a city is well situated in regard to its hinterland, its development is much more likely to continue Chicago, for example, possesses an almost unparalleled situation: it is located at the southern end of a huge lake that forces east-west transportation lines to be compressed into its vicinity, and at a meeting of significant land and water transport routes It also overlooks what is one

of the world’s finest large farming regions These factors ensured that Chicago would become a great city

regardless of the disadvantageous characteristics of the available site, such as being prone to flooding

during thunderstorm activity

Similarly, it can be argued that much of New York City’s importance stems from its early and continuing advantage of situation Philadelphiaand Bostonboth originated at about the same time as New Yorkand shared New York’s location at the western end of one of the world’s most important oceanic

trade routes, but only New Yorkpossesses an easy-access functional connection (the Hudson-Mohawk

Lowland) to the vast Midwestern Hinterland This account does not alone explain New York’s primacy,

but it does include several important factors Among the many aspects of situation that help to explain

why some cities grow and others do not, original location on a navigable waterway seems particularly applicable Of course, such characteristic as slope, drainage, power resources, river crossings, coastal shapes, and other physical characteristics help to determine city location, but such factors are normally

more significant in early stages of city development than later

Question 50: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A The development of trade routes throughUnited Statescities

A wealth B resourcefulness C traditions D organization

Question 52: According to the passage, a city’s situation is more important than its site in regard to the

city’s _

A long-term growth and prosperity B ability to protect its citizenry

C possession of favorable weather conditions D need to import food supplies

Question 53: The author mentions each of the following as an advantage of Chicago’s location EXCEPT its _.

A hinterland B nearness to a large lake

C flat terrain D position in regard to transport routes

Question 54: The word “characteristics” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _.

hairless
