I. Read the passage and the quetions or unfinished sentences. Then choose the answer A, B, C, or
D that you think fits best
By far the most important United States export product in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries
was cotton, favored by the European textile industry over flax or wool because it was easy to process
and soft to tile touch. Mechanization of spinning and weaving allowed significant centralization and
expansion in the textile industry during this period, and at the same time the demand for cotton
increased dramatically. American producers were able to meet this demand largely because of tile
invention of the cotton gin by Eli Whitney in 1793. Cotton could be grown throughout the South, but
separating the fiber – or lint – from the seed was a laborious process. Sea island cotton was relatively
easy to process by hand, because its fibers were long and seeds were concentrated at the base of the
flower, but it demanded a long growing season, available only along the nation's eastern seacoast.
Short-staple cotton required a much shorter growing season, but the shortness of the fibers and their
mixture with seeds meant that a worker could hand-process only about one pound per day. Whitney's
gin was a hand-powered machine with revolving drums and metal teeth to pull cotton fibers away from
seeds. Using the gin, a worker could produce up to 50 pounds of lint a day. The later development of
larger gins, powered by horses, water, or steam, multiplied productivity further.
The interaction of improved processing and high demand led to the rapid spread of the
cultivation of cotton and to a surge in production. It became the main American export, dwarfing all
others. In 1802, cotton composed 14 percent of total American exports by value. Cotton had a 36
percent share by 1810 and over a 50 percent share in 1830. In 1860, 61 percent of the value of
American exports was represented by cotton. In contrast, wheat and wheat flour composed only 6

percent of the value of American exports in that year. Clearly, cotton was king in the trade of the young
republic. The growing market for cotton and other American agricultural products led to an
unprecedented expansion of agricultural settlement, mostly in the eastern half of the United States--west of the Appalachian Mountains and east of the Mississippi River.

IX. Read the passage and the quetions or unfinished sentences. Then choose the answer A, B, C,
or D that you think fits best
A survey is a study, generally in the form of an interview or a questionnaire, that provides
information concerning how people think and act. In the United States, the best-known surveys are the
Gallup poll and the Harris poll. As anyone who watches the news during presidential campaigns
knows, these polls have become an important part of political life in the United States.
North Americans are familiar with the many "person on the street" interviews on local television
news shows. While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not necessarily an accurate

indication of public opinion. First, they reflect the opinions of only those people who appear at a
certain location. Thus, such samples can be biased in favor of commuters, middle-class shoppers, or
factory workers, depending on which area the newspeople select. Second, television interviews tend to
attract outgoing people who are willing to appear on the air, while they frighten away others who may
feel intimidated by a camera. A survey must be based on a precise, representative sampling if it is to
genuinely reflect a broad range of the population.
In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercise great care in the wording of
questions. An effective survey question must be simple and clear enough for people to understand it. It
must also be specific enough so that there are no problems in interpreting the results. Even questions
that are less structured must be carefully phrased in order to elicit the type of information desired.
Surveys can be indispensable sources of information, but only if the sampling is done properly and the
questions are worded accurately.
There are two main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionnaire. Each of these forms of
survey research has its advantages. An interviewer can obtain a high response rate because people find
it more difficult to turn down a personal request for an interview than to throw away a written
questionnaire. In addition, an interviewer can go beyond written questions and probe for a subject's
underlying feelings and reasons. However, questionnaires have the advantage of being cheaper and
more consistent.
61. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The history of surveys in North America
B. The principles of conducting surveys
C. Problems associated with interpreting surveys
D. The importance of polls in American political life
62. The word "they" in line 7 refers to
A. North Americans B. news shows
C. interviews
D.opinions

C. are not carefully worded
D. reflect political opinions
64. The word "precise" in line 11 is closest in meaning to
A. planned
B. rational
C. required
D. accurate
65. According to paragraph 3, which of the following is most important for an effective survey?
A. A high number of respondents
B. Carefully worded questions
C. An interviewer's ability to measure respondents' feelings
D. A sociologist who is able to interpret the results
