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.
Universally acclaimed as America’s greatest playwright, Eugene O’Neill was born
in 1888 in the heart of the theater district in New York City. As the son of an actor he had early
exposure to the world of the theater. He attended Princeton University briefly in 1906, but
returned to New York to work in a variety of jobs before joining the crew of a freighter as a
seaman. Upon returning from voyages to South Africa and South America, he was hospitalized
for six months to recuperate from tuberculosis. While he was recovering, he determined to
write a play about his adventures on the sea. He went to Harvard, where he wrote the one-act
Bound East for Cardiff. It was produced on Cape Cod by the Provincetown Players, an
experimental theater group that was later to settle in the famous Greenwich Village theater district
in New York City. The Players produced several more of his one-acts in the years between 19161920. With the full- length play Beyond the Horizon, produced on Broadway in 1920, O’Neill’s
success was assured. The play won the Pulitzer prize for the best play of the year. O’Neill was to
be awarded the prize again in 1922, 1928, and 1957 for Anna Christie, Strange Interlude, and
Long Day’s Journey Into Night. Although he didn’t receive the Pulitzer prize for it, Mourning
becomes Electra, produced in 1931,is arguably his most lasting contribution to the American
theatre. In 1936, he was awarded the Nobel Prize.
O’Neill’s plays, forty-five in all, cover a wide range of dramatic subjects, but several
themes emerge, including the ambivalence of family relationships, the struggle between the
sexes, the conflict between spiritual and material desires, and the vision of modern man as a
victim of uncontrollable circumstances. Most of O’Neill’s characters are seeking for meaning in
their lives. According to his biographers, most of the characters were portraits of himself and his
family. In a sense, his work chronicled his life.

B. controversial
C. popular
D. optimistic

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.
Continents and ocean basins represent the largest identifiable bodies on Earth. On the solid
portions of the planet, the second most prominent features are flat plains, elevated plateaus, and large
mountain ranges. In geography, the term “continent” refers to the surface of continuous landmasses
that together comprise about 29.2% of the planet’s surface. On the other hand, another definition is
prevalent in the general use of the term that deals with extensive mainlands, such as Europe or Asia,
that actually represent one very large landmass. Although all continents are bounded by water bodies
or high mountain ranges, isolated mainlands, such as Greenland and India-Pakistan areas are called
subcontinents. In some circles, the distinction between continents and large islands lies almost
exclusively in the size of particular landmass.
The analysis of compression and tension in the earth’s crust has determined that continental
structures are composed of layers that underlie continental shelves. A great deal of disagreement
among geologists surrounds the issue of exactly how many layers underlie each landmass because of
their distinctive mineral and chemical composition. It is also quite possible that the ocean floor rests
on the top of unknown continents that have not yet been explored. The continental crust is believed to
have been formed by means of a chemical reaction when lighter materials separated from heavier
ones, thus settling at various levels within the crust. Assisted by the measurements of the specifics
within crust formations by means of monitoring earthquakes, geologists can speculate that a chemical
split occurred to form the atmosphere, sea water, and the crust before it solidified many centuries ago.
Although each continent has its special features, all consist of various combinations of
components that include shields, mountain belts, intracratonic basins, margins, volcanic plateaus, and
block vaulted belts. The basic differences among continents lie in the proportion and the composition
of these features relative to the continent size. Climatic zones have a crucial effect on the weathering
and formation of the surface features, soil erosion, soil deposition, land formation, vegetation, and
human activities.
Mountain belts are elongated narrow zones that have a characteristic folded sedimentary
organization of layers. They are typically produced during substantial crustal movements, which
generate faulting and mountain building. When continental margins collide, the rise of a marginal
edge leads to the formation of large mountain ranges, as explained by the plate tectonic theory. This
process also accounts for the occurrence of mountain belts in ocean basins and produces evidence for
the ongoing continental plate evolution.
