MASTER COPY ~ WITH KEY

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.
Although most universities in the United States are on a semester system, which offers classes in the fall and spring, some
schools observe a quarter system comprised of fall, winter, spring, and summer quarters. The academic year, September to
June, is divided into three quarters of eleven weeks each beginning in September, January, and March: the summer quarter,
June to August, is composed of shorter sessions of vary length.
There are several advantages and disadvantages to the quarter system. On the plus side, students who wish to complete their
degrees in less than the customary four years may take advantage of the opportunity to study year round by enrolling in all
four quarters. In addition, although most students begin their programs in the fall quarter, they may enter at the beginning of
any other quarters. Finally, since the physical facilities are kept in operation year round, the resources are used effectively to
serve the greatest number of students. But there are several disadvantages as well. Many faculty complain that eleven-week
term is simply not enough for them to cover the material required by most college coursed. Students alsofind it difficult to
complete the assignments in such a short period of time.
In order to combine the advantages of the quarter system with those of the semester system some colleges and universities
have instituted a three-term trimester system. In fourteen weeks, faculty and students have more time to cover material and
finish course requirements, but the additional term provides options for admission during the year and accelerates the degree
programs for those students who wish to graduate early.

It’s time men stopped looking down on women. Women won their independence years ago. After a long struggle, they now
enjoy the same educational opportunities as men in most parts of the world. They have proved repeatedly that they are equal
and often superior to men in almost every field.
The battle for recognition has been won, but it is by no means over. Men still carry on the sex war because their attitude
remains basically ...(22).... Even in the most progressive societies, women continue to be regarded as ...(23).......citizens.
However much men sneer at women, their claims to superiority are not borne out by statistics. Let's consider the matter of
driving, for instance. We all know that women cause fewer accidents than men. Women have succeeded in any job you care
to name. As politicians, soldiers, doctors, factory-hands, university professors, farmers, company directors, lawyers, busconductors, scientists and presidents of countries they have often ...(24).... And we must remember that they frequently
succeed brilliantly in all these fields in addition to bearing and rearing 25 children.
Yet men go on saying that there are many jobs women can't do. Top-level political negotiation between countries, business
and banks and etc. are almost controlled by men, who guard their so-called 'rights'. They shun real competition. They know in

their hearts that women are superior and they are afraid of being ...(25)... at their own game. One of the most important tasks
in the world is to achieve peace between the nations. You can be sure that if women were allowed to sit round the conference
table, they would succeed brilliantly, as they always do, where men have failed for centuries. Some things are too important
to be left ...(26)... men.

each of the following questions.
Brown bears are found in Alaska and western Canada. They are first cousins of the grizzly, each belonging to the species
Ursus arctos. The chief difference in them is size, as brown bears on the average are slightly larger. A full-grown male may
weigh 1,500 pounds and stand 9 to 10 feet tall. Like bears everywhere they are creatures of habit that tread the same trails
year after year. Brown bears have three gaits: an even, deliberate one that takes them over rough or boggy ground at a steady
clip, a quick shuffle, and a fast gallop. They are not only surprisingly fast, but also, for such huge beasts, amazingly inclines.
Fishing the streams in summer, they pounce on swift-moving salmon and snatch them with almost simultaneous movements
of their paws and mouths. Brown bears are excellent swimmers and love to loll and wallow in the water on warm days. They
are also curious and playful. Most manifest a fear of humans, but Alaskans prefer not to test these creatures and usually carry
noisemakers of some kind to warn the bears of their presence.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or
phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks.
It’s time men stopped looking down on women. Women won their independence years ago. After a long struggle, they now
enjoy the same educational opportunities as men in most parts of the world. They have proved repeatedly that they are equal
and often superior to men in almost every field.
The battle for recognition has been won, but it is by no means over. Men still carry on the sex war because their attitude
remains basically ...(11).... Even in the most progressive societies, women continue to be regarded as ...(12).......citizens.
However much men sneer at women, their claims to superiority are not borne out by statistics. Let's consider the matter of
driving, for instance. We all know that women cause fewer accidents than men. Women have succeeded in any job you care
to name. As politicians, soldiers, doctors, factory-hands, university professors, farmers, company directors, lawyers, busconductors, scientists and presidents of countries they have often ...(13).... And we must remember that they frequently
succeed brilliantly in all these fields in addition to bearing and rearing 25 children.

Yet men go on saying that there are many jobs women can't do. Top-level political negotiation between countries, business
and banks and etc. are almost controlled by men, who guard their so-called 'rights'. They shun real competition. They know in
their hearts that women are superior and they are afraid of being ...(14)... at their own game. One of the most important tasks

in the world is to achieve peace between the nations. You can be sure that if women were allowed to sit round the conference
table, they would succeed brilliantly, as they always do, where men have failed for centuries. Some things are too important
to be left ...(15)... men.

Although most universities in the United States are on a semester system, which offers classes in the fall and spring, some

schools observe a quarter system comprised of fall, winter, spring, and summer quarters. The academic year, September to

four quarters. In addition, although most students begin their programs in the fall quarter, they may enter at the beginning of
any other quarters. Finally, since the physical facilities are kept in operation year round, the resources are used effectively to
serve the greatest number of students. But there are several disadvantages as well. Many faculty complain that eleven-week
term is simply not enough for them to cover the material required by most college coursed. Students alsofind it difficult to
complete the assignments in such a short period of time.
In order to combine the advantages of the quarter system with those of the semester system some colleges and universities
have instituted a three-term trimester system. In fourteen weeks, faculty and students have more time to cover material and
finish course requirements, but the additional term provides options for admission during the year and accelerates the degree
programs for those students who wish to graduate early.

Brown bears are found in Alaska and western Canada. They are first cousins of the grizzly, each belonging to the species
Ursus arctos. The chief difference in them is size, as brown bears on the average are slightly larger. A full-grown male may
weigh 1,500 pounds and stand 9 to 10 feet tall. Like bears everywhere they are creatures of habit that tread the same trails
year after year. Brown bears have three gaits: an even, deliberate one that takes them over rough or boggy ground at a steady
clip, a quick shuffle, and a fast gallop. They are not only surprisingly fast, but also, for such huge beasts, amazingly inclines.
Fishing the streams in summer, they pounce on swift-moving salmon and snatch them with almost simultaneous movements
of their paws and mouths. Brown bears are excellent swimmers and love to loll and wallow in the water on warm days. They

It’s time men stopped looking down on women. Women won their independence years ago. After a long struggle, they now
enjoy the same educational opportunities as men in most parts of the world. They have proved repeatedly that they are equal

and often superior to men in almost every field.
The battle for recognition has been won, but it is by no means over. Men still carry on the sex war because their attitude
remains basically ...(20).... Even in the most progressive societies, women continue to be regarded as ...(21).......citizens.
However much men sneer at women, their claims to superiority are not borne out by statistics. Let's consider the matter of
driving, for instance. We all know that women cause fewer accidents than men. Women have succeeded in any job you care
to name. As politicians, soldiers, doctors, factory-hands, university professors, farmers, company directors, lawyers, busconductors, scientists and presidents of countries they have often ...(22).... And we must remember that they frequently
succeed brilliantly in all these fields in addition to bearing and rearing 25 children.
Yet men go on saying that there are many jobs women can't do. Top-level political negotiation between countries, business
and banks and etc. are almost controlled by men, who guard their so-called 'rights'. They shun real competition. They know in
their hearts that women are superior and they are afraid of being ...(23)... at their own game. One of the most important tasks
in the world is to achieve peace between the nations. You can be sure that if women were allowed to sit round the conference
table, they would succeed brilliantly, as they always do, where men have failed for centuries. Some things are too important
to be left ...(24)... men.

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.
Although most universities in the United States are on a semester system, which offers classes in the fall and spring, some
schools observe a quarter system comprised of fall, winter, spring, and summer quarters. The academic year, September to
June, is divided into three quarters of eleven weeks each beginning in September, January, and March: the summer quarter,
June to August, is composed of shorter sessions of vary length.
There are several advantages and disadvantages to the quarter system. On the plus side, students who wish to complete their
degrees in less than the customary four years may take advantage of the opportunity to study year round by enrolling in all
four quarters. In addition, although most students begin their programs in the fall quarter, they may enter at the beginning of
any other quarters. Finally, since the physical facilities are kept in operation year round, the resources are used effectively to
serve the greatest number of students. But there are several disadvantages as well. Many faculty complain that eleven-week
term is simply not enough for them to cover the material required by most college coursed. Students alsofind it difficult to
complete the assignments in such a short period of time.
In order to combine the advantages of the quarter system with those of the semester system some colleges and universities

finish course requirements, but the additional term provides options for admission during the year and accelerates the degree

phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks.
It’s time men stopped looking down on women. Women won their independence years ago. After a long struggle, they now
enjoy the same educational opportunities as men in most parts of the world. They have proved repeatedly that they are equal
and often superior to men in almost every field.
The battle for recognition has been won, but it is by no means over. Men still carry on the sex war because their attitude
remains basically ...(1).... Even in the most progressive societies, women continue to be regarded as ...(2).......citizens.

However much men sneer at women, their claims to superiority are not borne out by statistics. Let's consider the matter of
driving, for instance. We all know that women cause fewer accidents than men. Women have succeeded in any job you care
to name. As politicians, soldiers, doctors, factory-hands, university professors, farmers, company directors, lawyers, busconductors, scientists and presidents of countries they have often ...(3).... And we must remember that they frequently succeed
brilliantly in all these fields in addition to bearing and rearing 25 children.
Yet men go on saying that there are many jobs women can't do. Top-level political negotiation between countries, business
and banks and etc. are almost controlled by men, who guard their so-called 'rights'. They shun real competition. They know in
their hearts that women are superior and they are afraid of being ...(4)... at their own game. One of the most important tasks in
the world is to achieve peace between the nations. You can be sure that if women were allowed to sit round the conference
table, they would succeed brilliantly, as they always do, where men have failed for centuries. Some things are too important
to be left ...(5)... men.

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.
Although most universities in the United States are on a semester system, which offers classes in the fall and spring, some

schools observe a quarter system comprised of fall, winter, spring, and summer quarters. The academic year, September to
June, is divided into three quarters of eleven weeks each beginning in September, January, and March: the summer quarter,
June to August, is composed of shorter sessions of vary length.
There are several advantages and disadvantages to the quarter system. On the plus side, students who wish to complete their
degrees in less than the customary four years may take advantage of the opportunity to study year round by enrolling in all
four quarters. In addition, although most students begin their programs in the fall quarter, they may enter at the beginning of
any other quarters. Finally, since the physical facilities are kept in operation year round, the resources are used effectively to
serve the greatest number of students. But there are several disadvantages as well. Many faculty complain that eleven-week
term is simply not enough for them to cover the material required by most college coursed. Students alsofind it difficult to
complete the assignments in such a short period of time.
In order to combine the advantages of the quarter system with those of the semester system some colleges and universities
have instituted a three-term trimester system. In fourteen weeks, faculty and students have more time to cover material and
finish course requirements, but the additional term provides options for admission during the year and accelerates the degree
programs for those students who wish to graduate early.
