IV 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

As the twentieth century began, the importance of formal education in the United States increased The frontier had mostly disappeared and by 1910 most Americans lived in towns and cities Industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life combined with a new emphasis upon credentials and expertise to make schooling increasingly important for economic and social mobility Increasingly, too, schools were viewed as the most important means of integrating immigrants into American society

The arrival of a great wave of southern and eastern European immigrants at the turn of the century coincided with and contributed to an enormous expansion of formal schooling By 1920 schooling to age fourteen or beyond was compulsory in most states, and the school year was greatly lengthened Kindergartens, vacation schools, extracurricular activities, and vocational

education and counseling extended the influence of public schools over the lives of students, many of whom in the larger industrial cities were the children of immigrants Classes for adult immigrants were sponsored by public schools, corporations, unions, churches, settlement houses, and other agencies

Reformers early in the twentieth century suggested that education programs should suit the needs of specific populations Immigrant women were once such population Schools tried to educate young women so they could occupy productive places in the urban industrial economy, and one place many educators considered appropriate for women was the home

Although looking after the house and family was familiar to immigrant women, American education gave homemaking a new definition In pre-industrial economies, homemaking had meant the production as well as the consumption of goods, and it commonly included income-producing activities both inside and outside the home, in the highly industrialized early-twentieth-century United States, however, overproduction rather than scarcity was becoming a problem Thus, the ideal American homemaker was viewed as a consumer rather than a producer Schools trained women to be consumer homemakers cooking, shopping, decorating, and caring for children "efficiently" in their own homes, or if economic necessity demanded, as employees in the homes of others Subsequent reforms have made these notions seem quite out-of-date

Question 25 : The paragraph preceding the passage probably discusses _

A the most important means of integrating immigrants into American society in the nineteen century

B the urbanization in the United States in the nineteen century

C the industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life the United States in the

19th century

D the formal schooling in the United States in the nineteen century

Question 26 : It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that one important factor in the increasing importance of education in the United States was _

A the increased urbanization of the entire country

B the expanding economic problems of schools

C the growing number of schools in frontier communities

D an increase in the number of trained teachers

Question 27 : The word "means" in line 5 is closest in meaning to _

Question 28 : The phrase "coincided with" in line 7 is closest in meaning to _

C happened at the same time as D was influenced by

Question 29: According to the passage, one important change in United States education by the 1920's was that _

A most places required children to attend school

B adults and children studied in the same classes

II Read the following passage and choose the best answer (5pts)

Until recently, the “science of the future” was supported to be electronics and artificial intelligence Today it seems more and more likely that the next breakthrougj in technology will be brought about through a combination of those two sciences with organic chemistry and genetic engineering This science is the combination of biotechnology

Organic chemistry enables us to produce marvelous synthetic materials However, it is still difficult to manufacture anything that has the capacity of wool to conserve heat and also to absorb moisture Nothing that we have been able to produce so far comes anywhere near the combination of strength, lightness, and flexibility that we find in the bodies of ordinary insects

Nevertheless, scientists in the laboratory have already succeeded in “ growing” a material that has many of the characteristics of human skin The next step may well be “ biotech heart and eyes” which can replace diseased organs in human beings This will not be ejected by the body , as in the case with organs from humans

The application of biotechnology to energy production seems even more promising In 1996, the famous science-fiction writer Arthur C Clarke, many of whose previous predictions have come true, said that we may soon be able to develop remarkably cheap and renewable sources

of energy Some of these power sources will be biological Clarke and others have warned us repeatedly that sooner or later we will have to give up our dependence on non-renewable power sources Coal, oil and gas are indeed convenient However, using them also means creating dangerously high levels of pollution It will be impossible to meet the growing demand for energy without increasing that pollution to catastrophic levels unless we develop power sources that are both cheaper and cleaner

4 In 1996, Arthur C Clarke predicted _

A new and better ways of heating and lighting homes, offices, and factories

D that we may not be able to meet future demand for energy
