Neither the fearlessness nor the bold huntsman’s prowess was peculiarly American Far more distinctive was the comic quality, all heroes are heroic; few are also clowns What made the American popular hero heroic also made him comic “May be”, said Crockett, “you’ll laugh at me and not at my book” The ambiguity of American life and the vagueness which laid the continent open to adventure, which made the land a rich storehouse of the unexpected, which kept vocabulary ungoverned and the language fluid this same ambiguity suffused both the Crockett legends were never quite certain whether

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
The technology of the North American colonies did not differ strikingly from that of Europe, but in one respect, the colonists enjoyed a great advantage Especially by comparison with Britain, Americans had a wonderfully plentiful supply of wood
The first colonists did not, as many people imagine, find an entire continent covered by a climax forest Even along the Atlantic seaboard, the forest was broken at many points Nevertheless, all sorts of fine trees abounded, and through the early colonial period, those who pushed westward encountered new forests By the end of the colonial era, the price of wood had risen slightly in eastern cities, but wood was still extremely abundant
The availability of wood brought advantages that have seldom been appreciated Wood was a foundation of the economy Houses and all manner of buildings were made of wood to a degree unknown in Britain Secondly, wood was used as fuel for heating and cooking Thirdly, it was used as the source of important industrial compounds, such as potash, an industrial alkali; charcoal, a component of gunpowder; and tannic acid, used for tanning leather.
Trang 6The supply of wood conferred advantages but had some negative aspects as well Iron at that time was produced by heating iron ore with charcoal Because Britain was so stripped of trees, she was unable to exploit her rich iron mines But the American colonies had both iron ore and wood; iron production was encouraged and became successful However, when Britain developed coke smelting, the Colonies did not follow suit because they had plenty of wood and besides, charcoal iron was stronger than coke iron Coke smelting led to technologic innovations and was linked to the emergence of the Industrial Revolution In the early nineteenth century, the former colonies lagged behind Britain in industrial development because their supply of wood led them to cling to charcoal iron

Question 51: The word “abundant” in paragraph 3 is closest meaning to _
A redundant B sufficient C insufficient D plentiful
Question 52: According to the passage, by the end of the colonial period, the price of wood in Eastern cities
A rose quickly because wood was becoming so scarce
B was much higher than it was in Britain
C was slightly higher than in previous years
D decreased rapidly because of lower demand for wood
Question 53: What can be inferred about houses in Britain during the period written about in the passage?
A They were more expensive than American houses
B They were generally built with imported materials
C They were typically smaller than homes in North America
D They were usually built from materials built from materials other than wood
Trang 7Question 54: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a source of industrial compounds?
Question 55: Why does the author mention gunpowder in paragraph 3?
A To illustrate the negative aspects of some industrial processes
B To remind readers that the colonial era ended in warfare
C To give an example of a product made with wood compounds
D To suggest that wood was not the only important product of the colonies

A It led to advances in technology
