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 from 46 to 55.
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 preindustrial 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notions seem quite out-of-date.

A. the urbanization in the United States in the nineteen century
B. the industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life the United States in the nineteen century.
C. the formal schooling in the United States in the nineteen century
D. the most important means of integrating immigrants into American society in 19 th century

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 from 56 to 65.
Ranked as the number one beverage consumed worldwide, tea takes the lead over coffee in both
popularity and production with more than 5 million metric tons of tea produced annually. Although much
of this tea is consumed in Asian, European, and African countries, the United States drinks its fair share.

According to estimates by the Tea Council of the United States, tea is enjoyed by no less than half of the
U.S. population on any given day. Black tea or green tea – iced, spiced, or instant – tea drinking has
spurred a billion-dollar business with major tea producers in Africa and South America and throughout
Asia.


Tea is made from the leaves of an evergreen plant, Camellia sinensis, which grows tall and lush in tropical
regions. On tea plantation, the plant is kept trimmed to approximately four feet high and as new buds
called flush appear, they are plucked off by hand. Even in today’s world of modern agricultural
machinery, hand harvesting continues to be the preferred method. Ideally, only the top two leaves and a
bud should be picked. This new growth produces the highest quality tea.
After being harvested, tea leaves are laid out on long drying racks, called withering racks, for 18 to 20
hours. During this process, the tea softens and becomes limp. Next, depending on the type of tea being
produced, the leaves may be crushed or chopped to release flavor, and then fermented under controlled
conditions of heat and humidity. For green tea, the whole leaves are often steamed to retain their green
color, and the fermentation process is skipped. Producing black teas requires fermentation during which
the tea leaves begin to darken. After fermentation, black tea is dried in vats to produce its rich brown or
black color.
No one knows when or how tea became popular, but legend has it that tea as a beverage was discovered
in 2737 B.C. by Emperor Shen Nung of China when leaves from a Camellia dropped into his drinking
water as it was boiling over a fire. As the story goes, Emperor Shen Nung drank the resulting liquid and
proclaimed the drink to be most nourishing and refreshing. Though this account cannot be documented, it
is thought that tea drinking probably originated in China and spread to other parts of Asia, then to Europe,
and ultimately to America colonies around 1650.
With about half the caffeine content as coffee, tea is often chosen by those who want to reduce, but not
necessarily eliminate their caffeine intake. Some people find that tea is less acidic than coffee and
therefore easier on the stomach. Others have become interested in tea drinking since the National Cancer
Institute published its findings on the antioxidant properties of tea. But whether tea is enjoyed for its
perceived health benefits, its flavor, or as a social drink, teacups continue to be filled daily with the
world’s most popular beverage.

A. To demonstrate tea’s popularity
B. To show the expense of processing such a large quantity of tea
C. To explain why coffee is not the most popular beverage worldwide
