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

Of all modern instruments, the violin is apparently one of the simplest It consists in essence of a hollow, varnished wooden sound box, or resonator, and a long neck covered with a fingerboard, along which four strings are stretched at high tension The beauty of design, shape, and decoration is no accident: the proportions of the instrument are determined almost entirely by acoustical considerations Its simplicity of appearance is deceptive About 70 parts are involved in the construction of a violin Its tone and its outstanding range of expressiveness make it an ideal solo instrument No less important, however,

is its role as an orchestral and chamber instrument In combination with the larger and deeper-sounding members of the same family, the violins form the nucleusof the modern symphony orchestra

The violin has been in existence since about 1550 Its importance as an instrument in its own right dates from the early 1600's, when it first became standard in Italian opera orchestras Its stature as an orchestral instrument was raised further when in 1626 Louis XIII of France established at his court the orchestra known as Les vinq-quatreviolons du Roy (The King's 24 Violins), which was to become widely famous later in the century

In its early history, the violin had a dull and rather quiet tone resulting from the fact that the strings were thick and were attached to the body of the instrument very loosely During the eighteenth and nineteenth century, exciting technical changes were inspiredby such composer-violinists as Vivaldi and Tartini Their instrumental compositions demanded a fuller, clearer, and more brilliant tone that was produced by using thinner strings and a far higher string tension Small changes had to be made to the violin's internal

structure and to the fingerboard so that they could withstand the extra strain Accordingly, a higher

standard of performance was achieved, in terms of both facility and interpretation Left-hand technique was considerably elaborated, and new fingering patterns on the fingerboard were developed for very high notes

A. the competition in the 1600's between French and Italian orchestras

Question 58: What is the main idea presented in paragraph 3?

B. The violin has been modified to fit its evolving musical functions

C. The violin had reached the height of its popularity by the middle of the eighteenth century

D. The technique of playing the violin has remained essentially the same since the 1600's

Question 59: The author mentions Vivaldi and Tartini in paragraph 3 as examples of composers whose

music

A. inspired more people to play the violin B. had to be adapted to the violin

C. demanded more sophisticated violins D. could be played only by their students

Question 60: The word "they"in paragraph 3 refers to _

modern violin music EXCEPT _

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.

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 in

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 Philadelphia and Boston both originated at about the same time as New York and shared New York’s location at the Western end of one of the world’s most important oceanic

trade routes, but only New York possesses 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 66: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A.The development of trade routes through United States cities
