Every drop of water in the ocean, even in the deepest parts, responds to the forces that create the tides No other force that affects the sea is so strong Compared with the tides, the waves created by the wind are surface movements felt no more than a hundred fathoms below the surface The currents also seldom involve more than the upper several hundred fathoms despite their impressive sweep

The tides are a response of the waters of the ocean to the pull of the Moon and the more distant Sun In

theory, there is a gravitational attraction between the water and even the outermost star of the universe In reality,

however, the pull of remote stars is so slight as to be obliterated by the control of the Moon and, to a lesser extent, the Sun

Just as the Moon rises later each day by fifty minutes, on the average, so, in most places, the time of high tide is correspondingly later each day And as the Moon waxes and wanes in its monthly cycle, so the height of the tide varies The tidal movements are strongest when the Moon is a sliver in the sky, and when it is full These are the highest flood tides and the lowest ebb tides of the lunar month and are called the spring tides At these times the Sun, Moon, and Earth are nearly in line and the pull of the two heavenly bodies is added together to bring the water high on the beaches, to send its surf upward against the sea cliffs, and to draw a high tide into the harbors Twice each month, at the quarters of the Moon, when the Sun, Moon and Earth lie at the apexes of a triangular

configuration and the pull of the Sun and Moon are opposed, the moderate tidal movements called neap tides

occur Then the difference between high and low water is less than at any other time during the month

Question 36 What is the main point of the first paragraph?

A The waves created by ocean currents are very large

B Despite the strength of the wind, it only moves surface water

C Deep ocean water is seldom affected by forces that move water

D The tides are the most powerful force to affect the movement of ocean water

Question 37 The words “In reality” in line 6 are closest in meaning to _

A surprisingly B actually C characteristically D similarly

Question 38 It can be inferred from the passage that the most important factor in determining how much

gravitational effect one object in space has on the tides is _

A size B distance C temperature D density

Question 39 What is the cause of spring tides?

A Seasonal changes in the weather

B The gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon when nearly in line with the Earth

C The Earth's movement around the Sun

D The triangular arrangement of the Earth, Sun, and Moon

Question 40 The word “configuration” is closest in meaning to _

A unit B center C surface D arrangement

Question 41 Neap tides occur when _

A the Sun counteracts the Moon's gravitational attraction

B the Moon is full

C the Moon is farthest from the Sun

D waves created by the wind combine with the Moon's gravitational attraction

Question 42 According to the passage, all of the following statements about tides are true EXCEPT _

A The time of high tide is later each day

B Tides have a greater effect on the sea than waves do

C The strongest tides occur at the quarters of the Moon

D Neap tides are more moderate than spring tides

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 43 to 50

The lack of printing regulations and the unenforceability of British copyright law in the American colonies made it possible for colonial printers occasionally to act as publishers Although they rarely undertook major publishing project because it was difficult to sell books as cheaply as they could be imported from Europe, printers

in Philadelphia did publish work that required only small amounts of capital, paper, and type Broadsides could

be published with minimal financial risk Consisting of only one sheet of paper and requiring small amounts of type, broadsides involved lower investments of capital than longer works Furthermore, the broadside format lent itself to subjects of high, if temporary, interest, enabling them to meet with ready sale If the broadside printer miscalculated, however, and produced a sheet that did not sell, it was not likely to be a major loss, and the printer would know this immediately There would be no agonizing wait with large amounts of capital tied up, books gathering dust on the shelves, and creditors impatient for payment

In addition to broadsides, books and pamphlets, consisting mainly of political tracts, catechisms, primers, and chapbooks were relatively inexpensive to print and to buy Chapbook were pamphlet-sized books, usually

containing popular tales, ballads, poems, short plays, and jokes, small, both in formal and number of pages, they were generally bound simply, in boards (a form of cardboard) or merely stitched in paper wrappers (a sewn

antecedent of modern-day paperbacks) Pamphlets and chapbooks did not require fine paper or a great deal of type

to produce they could thus be printed in large, cost-effective editions and sold cheaply

By far, the most appealing publishing investments were to be found in small books that had proven to be steady sellers, providing a reasonably reliable source of income for the publisher They would not, by nature, be highly topical or political, as such publications would prove of fleeting interest Almanacs, annual publications

that contained information on astronomy and weather patterns arranged according to the days, week, and months

of a given year, provided the perfect steady seller because their information pertained to the locale in which they would be used

Question 43 Which aspect of colonial printing does the passage mainly discuss?

A Laws governing the printing industry B Competition among printers

C Types of publications produced D Advances in printing technology

Question 44 According to the passage, why did colonial printers avoid major publishing projects?

A Few colonial printers owned printing machinery that was large enough to handle major projects

B There was inadequate shipping available in the colonies

C Colonial printers could not sell their work for a competitive price

Question 45 Broadsides could be published with little risk to colonial printers because they _

A required a small financial investment and sold quickly

B were in great demand in European markets

C were more popular with colonists than chapbooks and pamphlets

D generally dealt with topics of long-term interest to many colonists

Question 46 The word “antecedent” is closest in meaning to _

A predecessor B format C imitation D component

Question 47 Chapbooks produced in colonial America were characterized by _

C elaborate decoration D a large number of pages
