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 _

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

Question 44: The word “ran” in the paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _

A operated B hurried C constructed D owned

THE EARTH GALLERIES

Read the following passage then mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from.

You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their actions This is useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond

to them Emotions have evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey our

intentions to others But does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? Much research on emotional expressions has centered on such questions

According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and understand substantially the same “facial language” Studies by Ekman’s group have demonstrated that humans share a set of universal emotional expressions that testify to the common biological heritage of the human species Smiles, for example, signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people in such far- flung places as Argentina, Japan, Spain, Hungary, Poland , Sumatra ,the United States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea , and the Eskimo villages north of Artic Circle Ekman and his colleagues claim that people everywhere can recognize at least seven basic emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and surprise There are, however, huge differences across cultures

in both the context and intensity of emotional displays – the so called display rules In many Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses – especially negative ones-while many American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly Regardless of culture, however, emotions usually show themselves, to some degree, in people’s behavior From their first days of life, babies produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings

The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too Very young children pay close attention to facial expressions, and by age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading

emotions on people’s faces This evidence all points to a biological underpinning for our abilities to

express and interpret a basic set of human emotions Moreover, as Charles Darwin pointed out over a

century ago, some emotional expressions seem to appear across species boundaries Cross - cultural psychologists tell us that certain emotional responses carry different meanings in different cultures For example, what emotion do you suppose might be conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, this might indicate disgust, while in China it can signify surprise Likewise, a grin on an American face may indicate joy, while on a Japanese face it may just as easily mean embarrassment Clearly, culture influences emotional expressions

Question 55: According to the passage, we respond to others by .

A observing their looks C watching their actions

B observing their emotional expressions D looking at their faces

Question 56: Many studies on emotional expressions try to answer the question whether .

A different cultures have similar emotional expressions

B eyebrow raising means the same in Minneapolis and Madagascar

C raising the eyebrows has similar meaning to rounding the mouth

D rounding the mouth has the same meaning in Minneapolis and Madagascar

Question 57: The word “evolved” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .

Question 58: Paul Ekman is mentioned in the passage as an example of .

A lacked many main ingredients

C researchers who can speak and understand many languages

B researchers on universal language

D investigators on universal emotional expressions

Question 59: Smiles and frowns .

A are universal expressions across cultures C are not popular everywhere

B have different meanings in different cultures D do not convey the same emotions

Question 60: The biggest difference lies in .

A how long negative emotions are displayed B how intensive emotions are expressed

C how emotional responses are controlled D how often positive emotions are shown

Question 61: Unlike American children, Asian children are encouraged to .

A control their emotions C display their emotions openly

A spend a long time learning to read others’ emotions

B are sensitive towards others’ emotions

D the fact that children can control their feelings

Question 64: The best title for the passage is .
