Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B,C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 33 to 39.

The penny press, which emerged in the United States during the 1830's, was a powerful agent of mass communication.These newspapers were little dailies, generally four pages in length, written for the mass taste They differed from the staid,formal presentation of the conservative press, with its emphasis on political and literary topics The new papers were briefand cheap, emphasizing sensational reports of police courts and juicy scandals as well as human interest stories Twentieth-century journalism was already foreshadowed in the penny press of the 1830's

The New York Sun, founded in 1833, was the first successful penny paper, and it was followed two years later by the New York Herald, published by James Gordon Bennett Not long after, Horace Greeley issued the New York Tribune, which was

destined to become the most influential paper in America Greeley gave space to the issues that deeply touched the Americanpeople before the Civil War - abolitionism, temperance, free homesteads, Utopian cooperative settlements, and the problems

of labour The weekly edition of the Tribune, with 100,000 subscribers, had a remarkable influence in rural areas, especially

in Western communities

Americans were reputed to be the most avid readers of periodicals in the world An English observer enviously calculated

that, in 1829, the number of newspapers circulated in Great Britain was enough to reach only one out of every thirty-sixinhabitants weekly, Pennsylvania in that same year had a newspaper circulation which reached one out of every four

inhabitants weekly Statistics seemed to justify the common belief that Americans were devoted to periodicals Newspapers in

the United States increased from 1,200 in 1833 to 3,000 by the early 1860's, on the eve of the Civil War This far exceededthe number and circulation of newspapers in England and France

Question 33: The figures concerning newspaper circulation in Pennsylvania in 1829 are relevant because they

A explain why so many different periodicals were published

B support the belief that Americans were enthusiastic readers of periodicals

C prove that weekly periodicals were more successful than daily papers

D show the difference between reading habits before and after the Civil War

Question 34: The word "justify" is closest in meaning to

Trang 3

A modify B generate C prove D calculate

Question 35: Who was Horace Greeley?

A The man who took over James Gordon Bennett's penny-press paper and made it successful

B The most successful writer for the penny press

C The publisher of the first penny-press paper to make a profit

D The founder of the penny-press paper that did the most to influence the thinking of the public

Question 36: What is the author's main point in the first paragraph?

A The penny press was modeled on earlier papers.

B The penny press became an important way of disseminating information in the first half of the nineteenth century.

C The penny press focused mainly on analysis of politics.

D The press in the nineteenth century reached only a small proportion of the population.

Question 37: The word "avid" is closest in meaning to

Question 38: What does the author mean by the statement that twentieth-century journalism was foreshadowed by the

penny press?

A Twentieth-century journalism is more important than nineteenth-century journalism.

B Modem news coverage is similar to that done by the penny press.

C The penny press darkened the reputation of news writing.

D Penny-press news reporting was more accurate than that in twentieth-century newspapers.

Question 39: It can be inferred that penny-press newspapers were all of the following EXCEPT

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 40 to 47.

The first flying vertebrates were true reptiles in which one of the fingers of the front limbs became very elongated,

providing support for a flap of stretched skin that served as a wing These were the pterosaurs, literally the "winged lizards."

The earliest pterosaurs arose near the end of the Triassic period of the Mesozoic Era, some 70 million years before the first

known fossils of true birds occur, and they presumably dominated the skies until they were eventually displaced by birds.Like the dinosaurs, some the pterosaurs became gigantic; the largest fossil discovered is of an individual that had a wingspan

of 50 feet or more, larger than many airplanes These flying reptiles had large, tooth-filled jaws, but their bodies were small and probably without the necessary powerful muscles for sustained wing movement They must have been expert gliders, not skillful fliers, relying on wind power for their locomotion.

Birds, despite sharing common reptilian ancestors with pterosaurs, evolved quite separately and have been much more

successful in their dominance of the air They are an example of a common theme in evolution, the more or less paralleldevelopment of different types of body structure and function for the same reason - in this case, for flight Although the fossilrecord, as always, is not complete enough to determine definitively the evolutionary lineage of the birds or in as much detail

as one would like, it is better in this case than for many other animal groups That is because of the unusual preservation in alimestone quarry in southern Germany of Archaeopteryx, a fossil that many have called the link between dinosaurs and birds.Indeed, had it not been for the superb preservation of these fossils, they might well have been classified as dinosaurs Theyhave the skull and teeth of a reptile as well as a bony tail, but in the line-grained limestone in which these fossils occur thereare delicate impressions of feathers and fine details of bone structure that make it clear that Archaeopteryx was a bird

All birds living today, from the great condors of the Andes to the tiniest wrens, trace their origin back to the Mesozoicdinosaurs

Question 40: In paragraph 2, the author discusses the development of flight in birds as resulting from

A a separate but parallel development process to that of pterosaurs

B an evolution from pterosaurs

C the dominance of birds and pterosaurs over land animals

D a similarity in body structure to pterosaurs

Question 41: The author mentions airplanes in the passage in order to

A demonstrate the differences between mechanized flight and animal flight

B illustrate the size of wingspans in some pterosaurs

C establish the practical applications of the study of fossils

D compare the energy needs of dinosaurs with those of modem machines

Question 42: What is the significance of the discovery that was made in southern Germany?

A It is thought to demonstrate that birds evolved from dinosaurs.

B It suggests that dinosaurs were dominant in areas rich in limestone.

C It supports the theory that Archaeopteryx was a powerful dinosaur.

D It is proof that the climate and soils of Europe have changed over time.

Question 43: According to the passage, pterosaurs were probably "not skillful fliers" (lines 7-8) because

A of their disproportionately large bodies

B climate conditions of the time provided insufficient wind power

C they lacked muscles needed for extended flight

D of their limited wingspan

Question 44: Which of the following is true of early reptile wings?

Trang 4

A They required fingers of equal length B They connected the front and back limbs.

C They evolved from strong limb muscles D They consisted of an extension of skin.

Question 45: It can be inferred from the passage that birds were probably dominant in the skies

A after the decline of pterosaurs B before dinosaurs could be found on land.

C before the appearance of pterosaurs D in the early Triassic period

Question 46: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A Characteristics of pterosaur wings

B The development of flight in reptiles and birds

C The discovery of fossil remains of Archaeopteryx

D Reasons for the extinction of early flying vertebrates

Question 47: Which of the following helped researchers determine that Archaeopteryx was not a dinosaur?

A Its teeth B Details of its bone structure C The shape of its skull D Its tail

A I am sure that I will need your help only in special circumstances.

B I will not need your help as I believe.

C I believe that I will never ask you for help.
