( ID: 93286 )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.
The National Automobile Show in New York has been one of the top auto shows in the United
States since 1900. On November 3 of that year, about 8,000 people looked over the ―horseless carriages.‖ It
was the opening day and the first opportunity for the automobile industry to show off its wares to a large
crowd; however, the black-tie audience treated the occasion more as a social affair than as a sales
extravaganza. It was also on the first day of this show that William McKinley became the first U.S.
president to ride in a car.
The automobile was not invented in the United States. That distinction belongs to Germany.
Nikolaus Otto built the first practical internal-combustion engine there in 1876. Then, German engineer
Karl Benz built what are regarded as the first modern automobiles in the mid-1880s. But the United States
pioneered the merchandising of the automobile. The auto show proved to be an effective means of getting
the public excited about automotive products.
By happenstance, the number of people at the first New York show equaled the entire car
population of the United States at that time. In 1900, 10 million bicycles and an unknown number of horsedrawn carriages provided the prime means of personal transportation. Only about 4,000 cars were
assembled in the United States in 1900, and only a quarter of those were gasoline powered. The rest ran on
steam or electricity.
After viewing the cars made by forty car makers, the show‘s audience favored electric cars because
they were quiet. The risk of a boiler explosion turned people away from steamers, and the gasolinepowered cars produced smelly fumes. The Duryea Motor Wagon Company, which launched the
American auto industry in 1895, offered a fragrant additive designed to mask the smells of the naphtha
that it burned. Many of the 1900 models were cumbersome—the Gasmobile, the Franklin, and the Orient,
for example, steered with a tiller like a boat instead of with a steering wheel. None of them was equipped
with an automatic starter.
These early model cars were practically handmade and were not very dependable. They were
basically toys of the well-to-do. In fact, Woodrow Wilson, then a professor at Princeton University and
later President of the United States, predicted that automobiles would cause conflict between the wealthy
and the poor. However, among the exhibitors at the 1900 show was a young engineer named Henry Ford.

But before the end of the decade, he would revolutionize the automobile industry with his Model T Ford.
The Model T, first produced in 1909, featured a standardized design and a streamlined method of
production—the assembly line. Its lower costs made it available to the mass market.
Cars at the 1900 show ranged in price from $1,000 to $1,500, or roughly $14,000 to $21,000 in
today‘s prices. By 1913, the Model T was selling for less than $300, and soon the price would drop even
further. ―I will build cars for the multitudes,‖ Ford said, and he kept his promise.
Question 13:
The passage implies that the audience viewed the 1900 National Automobile Show
primarily as a(n)
A. chance to buy automobiles at low prices.

( ID: 93301 ) 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.
Books which give instructions on how to do things are very popular in the United States today.
Thousands of these How-to books are useful. In fact, there are about four thousand books with titles that
begin with the words ―How to‖. One book may tell you how to earn more money. Another may tell you
how to save or spend it and another may explain how to give your money away.
Many How-to books give advice on careers. They tell you how to choose a career and how to
succeed in it. If you fail, however, you can buy the book ― How to Turn Failure into Success‖. If you
would like to become very rich, you can buy the book ―How to Make a Millionaire‖. If you never make
any money at all, you may need a book called ―How to Live on Nothing‖.
One of the most popular types of books is one that helps you with personal problems. If you want to
have a better love of life, you can read ―How to Succeed in Love every Minute of Your Life‖. If you are
tired of books on happiness, you may prefer books which give step-by-step instructions on how
to redecorate or enlarge a house.
Why have How-to books become so popular? Probably because life has become so complex. Today
people have far more free time to use, more choices to make, and more problems to solve. How-to books
help people deal with modern life.
