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 question below.
The countryside of Britain is well known for its beauty and many contrasts: its bare mountains
and moorland, its lakes, rivers and woods, and its long, often wild coastline. Many of the most

beautiful areas are national parks and are protected from development. When British people think of
the countryside they think of farmland, as well as open spaces. They imagine cows or sheep in
green fields enclosed by hedges or stone walls, and fields of wheat and barley. Most farmland is
privately owned but is crossed by a network of public footpaths.
Many people associate the countryside with peace and relaxation. They spend their free time
walking or cycling there, or go to the country for a picnic or a pub lunch. In summer people go to
fruit farms and pick strawberries and other fruit. Only a few people who live in the country work on
farms. Many commute to work in towns. Many others dream of living in the country, where they
believe they would have a better and healthier lifestyle.
The countryside faces many threats. Some are associated with modern farming practices, and
the use of chemicals harmful to plants and wildlife. Land is also needed for new houses. The green
belt, an area of land around many cities, is under increasing pressure. Plans to build new roads are
strongly opposed by organizations trying to protect the countryside. Protesters set up camps to
prevent, or at least delay, the building work.

America has many areas of wild and beautiful scenery, and there are many areas, especially in
the West in states like Montana and Wyoming, where few people live. In the New England states,
such as Vermont and New Hampshire, it is common to see small farms surrounded by hills and
green areas. In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and other Midwestern states, fields of corn or wheat reach to
the horizon and there are many miles between towns.
Only about 20% of Americans live outside cities and towns. Life may be difficult for people
who live in the country. Services like hospitals and schools may be further away and going
shopping can mean driving long distances. Some people even have to drive from their homes to the
main road where their mail is left in a box. In spite of the disadvantages, many people who live in
the country say that they like the safe, clean, attractive environment. But their children often move

to a town or city as soon as they can.
As in Britain, Americans like to go out to the country at weekends. Some people go on camping
or fishing trips, others go hiking in national parks.
Question 45: We can see from the passage that in the countryside of Britain _______
A. it is difficult to travel from one farm to another
B. only a few farms are publicly owned
C. none of the areas faces the sea

Read the following passage carefully and then choose the best answer to each question.
During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the
contributions of women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formed
United States. Lacking the right to vote and absent from the seats of power, women were not
considered an important force in history. Anne Bradstreet wrote some significant poetry in the
seventeenth century, Mercy Otis Warren produced the best contemporary history of the American
Revolution, and Abigail Adams penned important letters showing she exercised great political
influence over her husband, John, the second President of the United States. But little or no notice
was taken of these contributions. During these centuries, women remained invisible in history
books.
Throughout the nineteenth century, this lack of visibility continued, despite the efforts of

female authors writing about women. These writers, like most of their male counterparts, were

amateur historians. Their writings were celebratory in nature, and they were uncritical in their
selection and use of sources.
During the nineteenth century, however, certain feminists showed a keen sense of history by
keeping records of activities in which women were engaged. National, regional, and local women’s
organizations compiled accounts of their doings. Personal correspondence, newspaper clippings,
and souvenirs were saved and stored. These sources from the core of the two greatest collections of
women’s history in the United States one at the Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at
Radcliffe College, and the other the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College. Such sources have
provided valuable materials for later Generations of historians.
Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women during the nineteenth
Century, most of the writing about women conformed to the “great women” theory of History, just
as much of mainstream American history concentrated on “great men.” To demonstrate that women
were making significant contributions to American life, female authors singled out women leaders
and wrote biographies, or else important women produced their autobiographies. Most of these
leaders were involved in public life as reformers, activists working for women’s right to vote, or
authors, and were not representative at all of the great of ordinary woman. The lives of ordinary
people continued, generally, to be untold in the American histories being published.
Question 55:

What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. The role of literature in early American histories
B. The place of American women in written histories

C. The keen sense of history shown by American women
D. The “great women” approach to history used by American historians

The word “contemporary” in the 1st paragraph means that the history

was___________.
A. informative B. thoughtful
Question 57:

C. written at that time

D. faultfinding

In the first paragraph, Bradstreet, Warren, and Adams are mentioned to show that

________.
A. a woman’s status was changed by marriage
B. even the contributions of outstanding women were ignored
C. only three women were able to get their writing published
D. poetry produced by women was more readily accepted than other writing by women
