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

In the mid – nineteenth century, the United States had tremendous natural resources that could

be exploited in order to develop heavy industry Most of the raw materials that are valuable in the manufacture of machinery, transportation facilities, and consumer goods lay ready to be worked into wealth Iron, coal, and oil – the basic ingredients of industrial growth – were plentiful and needed only the application of technical expertise, organizational skill, and labor

One crucial development in this movement toward industrialization was the growth of the railroads The railway network expanded rapidly until the railroad map of the United States looked like

a spider’s web, with the steel filaments connecting all important sources of raw materials, their places

of manufacture, and their centers of distribution The railroads contributed to the industrial growth

not only by connecting these major centers, but also by themselves consuming enormous amounts of

fuel, iron, and coal

Many factors influenced emerging modes of production For example, machine tools, the tools used to make goods, were steadily improved in the latter part of the nineteenth century – always with

an eye to speedier production and lower unit costs The products of the factories were rapidly absorbed by the growing cities that sheltered the workers and the distributors The increased urban population was nourished by the increased farm production that, in turn, was made more productive

by the use of the new farm machinery American agricultural production kept up with the urban demand and still had surpluses for sale to the industrial centers of Europe

The labor that ran the factories and built the railways was recruited in part from American farm

areas where people were being displaced by farm machinery, in part from Asia, and in part from Europe Europe now began to send tides of immigrants from eastern and southern Europe – most of whom were originally poor farmers but who settled in American industrial cities The money to finance this tremendous expansion of the American economy still came from European financiers for the most part, but the American were approaching the day when their expansion could be financed in their own “money market”

Question 40: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A The history of railroads in the United States

B The major United States industrial centers

C Factors that affected industrialization in the United States

D The role of agriculture in the nineteenth century

in the nineteenth century EXCEPT that _

A they connected important industrial cities

B they were necessary to the industrialization process

C they were expanded in a short time

D they used relatively small quantities of natural resources

Question 43: Which of the following in NOT true of United States farmers in the nineteenth century?

A They lost some jobs because of mechanization

B They were unable to produce sufficient food for urban areas

C They raised their productivity by using new machinery

D They sold food to European countries

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.

It is estimated that over 99 percent of all species that ever existed have become extinct What

causes extinction? When a species is no longer adapted to a changed environment, it may perish The

exact causes of a species’ death vary from situation to situation Rapid ecological change may render an environment hostile to a species For example, temperatures may change and a species may not be able

to adapt Food Resources may be affected by environmental changes, which will then cause problems for a species requiring these resources Other species may become better adapted to an environment,

resulting in competition and, ultimately, in the death of a species.

The fossil record reveals that extinction has occurred throughout the history of Earth Recent analyses have also revealed that on some occasions many species became extinct at the same time – a mass extinction One of the best-known examples of mass extinction occurred 65 million years ago

with the demise of dinosaurs and many other forms of life Perhaps the largest mass extinction was the

one that occurred 225 million years ago When approximately 95 percent of all species died, mass extinctions can be caused by a relatively rapid change in the environment and can be worsened by the close interrelationship of many species If, for example, something were to happen to destroy much of

the plankton in the oceans, then the oxygen content of Earth would drop, affection even organisms not

living in the oceans Such a change would probably lead to a mass extinction

One interesting, and controversial, finding is that extinctions during the past 250 million years

have tended to be more intense every 26 million years This periodic extinction might be due to

intersection of the Earth’s orbit with a cloud of comets, but this theory is purely speculative Some

researchers have also speculated that extinction may often be random That is, certain species may be eliminated and others may survive for no particular reason A species’ survival may have nothing to do with its ability or inability to adapt If so, some of evolutionary history may reflect a sequence of essentially random events

Question 55: The word “it” in the first paragraph refers to

A environment B species C extinction D 99 percent

Question 56: The word “ultimately” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to .

A exceptionally B dramatically C eventually D unfortunately

Question 57: What does the author say in paragraph 1 regarding most species in Earth’s history?

A They have remained basically unchanged from their original forms

B They have been able to adapt to ecological changes

C They have caused rapid change in the environment

D They are no longer in existence

Question 58: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 1 as resulting from rapid

ecological change?

A Temperature changes B Availability of food resources

C Introduction of new species D Competition among species

Question 59: The word “demise” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to

Question 60: Why is “plankton” mentioned in the second paragraph?

A To demonstrate the interdependence of different species

B To emphasize the importance of food resources in preventing mass extinction

C To illustrate a comparison between organisms that live on the land and those that live in the ocean

D To point out that certain species could never become extinct

Question 61: According to paragraph 2, evidence from fossils suggests that

A extinction of species has occurred from time to time throughout Earth’s history

B extinctions on Earth have generally been massive

C there has been only one mass extinction in Earth’s history

D dinosaurs became extinct much earlier than scientists originally believed

Question 62: The word “finding” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to

A published information B research method

C ongoing experiment D scientific discovery

Question 63: Which of the followings can be inferred from the theory of periodic extinction mentioned

in paragraph 3?

A Many scientists could be expected to disagree with it

B Evidence to support the theory has recently been found

C The theory is no longer seriously considered

D Most scientists believe the theory to be accurate

Question 64: In paragraph 3, the author makes which of the following statements about a species’

survival?

A It reflects the interrelationship of many species

B It may depend on chance events
