PART THREE: READING
I. Read the passage below and chose the correct answer for each
question. Write your answer A, B, C or D on your answer sheet. (5

pts)
Much of the great the progress the human race has made during the past four centuries has been brought
about by new
inventions.
The machines man has created do much of the hard work which he had to do
previously.
As a result, people who live
today
have
much easier
lives with
more
time for
recreation
than
people
who lived
several hundred years
ago.
We should think, therefore, that everybody would welcome a new invention and honor the inventor. Buy
this has not always been true. A
Frenchman
named
Thimonnier invented
a sewing
machine
in 1830. This
machine
made it
possible

for one tailor to do the work of several; and it also made his work much easier. But
instead of
welcoming
the new invention, the
tailors smashed
the
machine
to
pieces.
They
feared
that it
would
throw many
of them out of work.
However, if an invention is a good one, in time it is practically always accepted. The sewing machine was
improved and
found
to be a good
invention
for
tailors
as well as for
others.
It
caused ready
-made
clothes
to
become much

less expensive, so that
more people
could buy
them. Then more tailors instead
of
fewer
were
needed.
1. This article as a whole is about .
A. the tailors of France B. the need for more recreation
C. the money inventors make D. inventions and their effects
2. The French tailors smashed the machine to pieces because
_.
A. they feared these machines would throw their clothes out of their workshop
B. they wanted to keep the traditional of making everything by hand
C. they feared these machines would take away their jobs
D. they would have to hire more workers to run the machines
3. Which of the following sentences is NOT
true?
A. Everybody always welcomes a new invention.
B. In time, good inventions are nearly always accepted by
peop
le.
C. The sewing machine proved to be a good thing. D. The sewing machine made clothes
cheaper.
4. The word “smashed” in paragraph 2 is closest meaning to
_.
A. crashed B. broke C. threw D. divides
5. The effects of the invention of the sewing machine include all of these EXCEPT
.

A. ready-made clothes became cheaper B. the tailor’s work became much easier
C. more tailors were needed D. more tailors were unemployed
II. Read the passage below and choose the correct word to complete each
numbered blank. Write your answer A, B, C or D on your answer sheet. (5 pts)
