Schools in the United States have not always had a large number of libraries As (51)

as 1958 about half of the public schools in the United States had no libraries at all The

(52) of public school libraries increased dramatically when the federal government passed the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, (53) provided funds for school districts to improve their education programs and facilities, including their libraries (54) , many educators claim that since the legislation was passed federal spending has not increased sufficiently to meet the rising (55) of new library technologies such as

computer databases and Internet access

Because the federal government provides only limited funds to schools, individual school districts (56) on funds from local property taxes to meet the vast majority of public school expenses Therefore, the libraries of public schools tend to reflect the (57)

capabilities of the communities in which they are located Districts in wealthy suburbs often have fully staffed libraries (58) abundant resources, spacious facilities, and curricular and instructional support In (59) , school districts in many poor areas house their libraries in ordinary classrooms or in small rooms The libraries in such areas are generally staffed by volunteers, who organize and (60) books that are often out-of-date, irrelevant, or

The countryside of Britain is well known for its beauty and many contrasts: its bare mountains and moorland, its lakes, rivers and woods, and its long, often wild coastline Many of the most beautiful areas are national parks and are protected from development When British people think of the countryside they think of farmland, as well as open spaces They imagine cows or

sheep in green fields enclosed by hedges or stone walls, and fields of wheat and barley Most

farmland is privately owned but is crossed by a network of public footpaths

Many people associate the countryside with peace and relaxation They spend their free time walking or cycling there, or go to the country for a picnic or a pub lunch In summer people go to fruit farms and pick strawberries and other fruit Only a few people who live in the country work

on farms Many commute to work in towns Many others dream of living in the country, where

theybelieve they would have a better and healthier lifestyle

The countryside faces many threats Some are associated with modern farming practices, and

the use of chemicals harmful to plants and wildlife Land is also needed for new houses The green belt, an area of land around many cities, is under increasing pressure Plans to build new roads are strongly opposed by organizations trying to protect the countryside Protesters set up camps to prevent, or at least delay, the building work

America has many areas of wild and beautiful scenery, and there are many areas, especially in the West in states like Montana and Wyoming, where few people live In the New England states, such as Vermont and New Hampshire, it is common to see small farms surrounded by hills and green areas In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and other Midwestern states, fields of corn or

wheat reach to the horizon and there are many miles between towns

Only about 20% of Americans live outside cities and towns Life may be difficult for people who live in the country Services like hospitals and schools may be further away and going shopping can mean driving long distances Some people even have to drive from their homes to the main road where their mail is left in a box In spite of the disadvantages, many people who live in the country say that they like the safe, clean, attractive environment But their children often move to a town or city as soon as they can

camping or fishing trips, others go hiking in national parks

V Read the following passage adapted from A Briggs’ article on culture,

Microsoft® Student 2008, 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 45

Culture is a word in common use with complex meanings, and is derived, like the term

broadcasting, from the treatment and care of the soil and of what grows on it It is directly

related to cultivation and the adjectives cultural and cultured are part of the same verbal

complex A person of culture has identifiable attributes, among them a knowledge of

and interest in the arts, literature, and music Yet the word culture does not refer solely to

such knowledge and interest nor, indeed, to education At least from the 19th century

onwards, under the influence of anthropologists and sociologists, the word culture has come to be used generally both in the singular and the plural (cultures) to refer to a whole

way of life of people, including their customs, laws, conventions, and values

Distinctions have consequently been drawn between primitive and advanced culture and cultures, between elite and popular culture, between popular and mass culture, and most recently between national and global cultures Distinctions have been drawn too between

culture and civilization; the latter is a word derived not, like culture or agriculture, from

the soil, but from the city The two words are sometimes treated as synonymous Yet this

is misleading While civilization and barbarism are pitted against each other in what

seems to be a perpetual behavioural pattern, the use of the word culture has been strongly

influenced by conceptions of evolution in the 19th century and of development in the

20th century Cultures evolve or develop They are not static They have twists and turns

Styles change So do fashions There are cultural processes What, for example, the word

cultured means has changed substantially since the study of classical (that is, Greek and

Roman) literature, philosophy, and history ceased in the 20th century to be central to school and university education No single alternative focus emerged, although with computers has come electronic culture, affecting kinds of study, and most recently digital culture As cultures express themselves in new forms not everything gets better or more civilized

The multiplicity of meanings attached to the word made and will make it difficult to define There is no single, unproblematic definition, although many attempts have been made to establish one The only non-problematic definitions go back to agricultural meaning (for example, cereal culture or strawberry culture) and medical meaning (for example, bacterial culture or penicillin culture) Since in anthropology and sociology we also acknowledge culture clashes, culture shock, and counter-culture, the range of

reference is extremely wide

Question 36: According to the passage, the word culture

A is related to the preparation and use of land for farming

B derives from the same root as civilization does

C comes from a source that has not been identified

D develops from Greek and Roman literature and history

Question 37 : It is stated in paragraph 1 that a cultured person

A has a job related to cultivation

B does a job relevant to education

C takes care of the soil and what grows on it

D has knowledge of arts, literature, and music

Question 38: The author remarks that culture and civilization are the two words that

A are both related to agriculture and cultivation

B have nearly the same meaning

C share the same word formation pattern

D do not develop from the same meaning

Question 39: It can be inferred from the passage that since the 20th century

A classical literature, philosophy, and history have not been taught as compulsory

subjects

B all schools and universities have taught classical literature, philosophy, and history

C schools and universities have not taught classical literature, philosophy, and history

D classical literature, philosophy, and history have been considered as core subjects Question 40: The word “attributes” in paragraph 1 most likely means

A The use of the word culture has been changed since the 19th century

B The word culture can be used to refer to a whole way of life of people

C Anthropology and sociology have tried to limit the references to culture

D Distinctions have been drawn between culture and civilization

Question 43: It is difficult to give the definitions of the word culture EXCEPT for its

A philosophical and historical meanings

B sociological and anthropological meanings

C historical and figurative meanings

D agricultural and medical meanings

Question 44: Which of the following is NOT true about the word culture?

A It evolves from agriculture

B It differs from the word civilization

C It is a word that cannot be defined

D Its use has been considerably changed

Question 45: The passage mainly discusses

A the distinction between culture and civilization

B the derivatives of the word culture

C the figurative meanings of the word culture

D the multiplicity of meanings of the word culture

The issue of equality for women in British society first attracted national attention in the early 20th century, when the suffragettes won for women the right to vote In the 1960s feminism became the subject of intense debate when the women’s liberation movement encouraged women to reject their traditional supporting role and to demand equal status and equal rights with men in areas such as employment and pay

Since then, the gender gap between the sexes has been reduced The Equal Pay Act of

1970, for instance, made it illegal for women to be paid less than men for doing the same work, and in 1975 the Sex Discrimination Act aimed to prevent either sex having an unfair advantage when applying for jobs In the same year the Equal Opportunities

Commission was set up to help people claim their rights to equal treatment and to publish research and statistics to show where improvements in opportunities for women need to

be made Women now have much better employment opportunities, though they still tend

to get less well-paid jobs than men, and very few are appointed to top jobs in industry

In the US the movement that is often called the “first wave of feminism” began in the mid 1800s Susan B Anthony worked for the right to vote, Margaret Sanger wanted to provide women with the means of contraception so that they could decide whether or not

to have children, and Elizabeth Blackwell, who had to fight for the chance to become a doctor, wanted women to have greater opportunities to study Many feminists were interested in other social issues

The second wave of feminism began in the 1960s Women like Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem became associated with the fight to get equal rights and opportunities for women under the law An important issue was the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which was intended to change the Constitution Although the ERA was not passed, there was

progress in other areas It became illegal for employers, schools, clubs, etc to

discriminate against women But women still find it hard to advance beyond a certain

point in their careers, the so-called glass ceiling that prevents them from having

high-level jobs Many women also face the problem of the second shift, i.e the household chores
