1860 had more than 1 million people, and only 8 cities could boast about a population of more than

100,000. Thereafter the transition from a rural to a predominantly urban nation was especially remarkable
because of its speed. By 1900, urbanization, with all of its benefits, problems, and prospects for a further
life, became the mark of modern America.
The changing physical landscape reflected the shift to urbanized society. Railroad terminals,
factories, skyscrapers, apartment houses, streetcars, department stores, and the increased pace of life were
all signs of an emerging urban America. Indeed, the vitality, dynamic quality, variety, and restless
experimentalism in society centered in the urban communities where the only constant factor was change
itself.
Urbanization did not proceed uniformly throughout the nation. New England and the Middle
Atlantic states contained the highest percentage of city dwellers. In the Middle West, the growth of cities
such as Chicago, Milwaukee, Cleveland, and St. Louis showed the importance of urbanization in that
region. The three West Coast states also experienced rapid urban growth. In the South, urbanization
developed much more slowly, although by 1910 the expansion of transportation, commerce, and industry

had greatly increased the population of older cities such as New Orleans and stimulated the growth of new
urban centers such as Birmingham. However, the South remained predominantly rural. Only somewhat
more than 20 percent of the population in that region was urban by 1910.
In some regions the urban impact had a depressing effect upon the surrounding rural communities.
Much of New England in the late nineteenth century presented a discouraging picture of abandoned farms
and sickly villages as people forsook the countryside and rushed to the larger town and cities. In the
Middle West, Particularly Ohio and Illinois, hundred of townships lost population in the 1880's
Câu 38. Which of the following areas of the United States can be inferred to be the most urbanized at the
end of the 1800's?
A. The States in the South
B. The three States on the West Coast
C. The New England and the Middle Atlantic states D. The states in the Middle West
Câu 39. The author's main purpose in the last paragraph is to _______.
A. acknowledge that urbanization had a negative impact on some communities in the United States
B. prove that the Middle West was the most adversely affected by large shifts in population
C. establish that urban areas were important in contributing to the economic growth of the United States
D. demonstrate that population of United States increased dramatically during the late nineteenth century
Câu 40. Which of the following are mentioned in the passage as a sign of urbanized society in the
United States in the late 1800's?
A. Streetcars
B. Roads and highways C. schools
D. Cultural activities
Câu 41. It is implied in paragraph 1 that people were attracted to urban because of ______
A. the availability of housing
B. the existence of public transportation
C. the lack of agricultural work
D. the possibility of a fuller life
Câu 42. Which of the following does the passage support?
A. The percentage of population of the United States engaged in agriculture decreased between 1860
and 1900.

B. The changing physical landscape that resulted from urbanization created more disadvantages than
advantages.
C. The economic factors that caused large population shifts in the 1800's were unique to the United
States.
D. The number of people who lived in the southern region of the United States in 1900 was
significantly less than in 1860.
Câu 43. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The benefits brought about by urbanization in the 1800's
B. The problems associated with urban areas in the United States
C. The history of the urbanization of the United States
D. The population of large urban areas in the 1800's
Câu 44. The word "shift" in the passage is closest in meaning to _____.
A. change
B. resource
C. return
D. position
The
word

in

XII. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the

In 1860 the United States was predominantly rural. Most people were engaged in agriculture, and
about 80 percent of the population actually resided on farms or in small villages. Only 20 percent lived in
towns and cities of 2,500 or more, the census definition of an urban area after 1880. New York alone in
1860 had more than 1 million people, and only 8 cities could boast about a population of more than
100,000. Thereafter the transition from a rural to a predominantly urban nation was especially remarkable
because of its speed. By 1900, urbanization, with all of its benefits, problems, and prospects for a further
life, became the mark of modern America.
The changing physical landscape reflected the shift to urbanized society. Railroad terminals,
factories, skyscrapers, apartment houses, streetcars, department stores, and the increased pace of life were
all signs of an emerging urban America. Indeed, the vitality, dynamic quality, variety, and restless
experimentalism in society centered in the urban communities where the only constant factor was change
itself.
Urbanization did not proceed uniformly throughout the nation. New England and the Middle
Atlantic states contained the highest percentage of city dwellers. In the Middle West, the growth of cities
such as Chicago, Milwaukee, Cleveland, and St. Louis showed the importance of urbanization in that
region. The three West Coast states also experienced rapid urban growth. In the South, urbanization
developed much more slowly, although by 1910 the expansion of transportation, commerce, and industry
had greatly increased the population of older cities such as New Orleans and stimulated the growth of new
urban centers such as Birmingham. However, the South remained predominantly rural. Only somewhat
more than 20 percent of the population in that region was urban by 1910.
In some regions the urban impact had a depressing effect upon the surrounding rural communities.
Much of New England in the late nineteenth century presented a discouraging picture of abandoned farms
and sickly villages as people forsook the countryside and rushed to the larger town and cities. In the
Middle West, Particularly Ohio and Illinois, hundreds of townships lost population in the 1880's
Câu 43. Which of the following are mentioned in the passage as a sign of urbanized society in the
United States in the late 1800's?

A. Roads and highways B. Cultural activities C. schools
D. Streetcars
Câu 44. Which of the following areas of the United States can be inferred to be the most urbanized at the
end of the 1800's?
A. The States in the South
B. The New England and the Middle Atlantic states
C. The states in the Middle West
D. The three States on the West Coast
Câu 45. The word "shift" in the passage is closest in meaning to _____.

A. return
B. change
C. position

Câu 46. Which of the following does the passage support?

and 1900.
B. The changing physical landscape that resulted from urbanization created more disadvantages than
advantages.
C. The number of people who lived in the southern region of the United States in 1900 was
significantly less than in 1860.
D. The economic factors that caused large population shifts in the 1800's were unique to the United
States.

B. demonstrate that population of United States increased dramatically during the late nineteenth century
C. establish that urban areas were important in contributing to the economic growth of the United States

I. 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 from
In 1860 the United States was predominantly rural. Most people were engaged in agriculture, and
about 80 percent of the population actually resided on farms or in small villages. Only 20 percent lived in
towns and cities of 2,500 or more, the census definition of an urban area after 1880. New York alone in
1860 had more than 1 million people, and only 8 cities could boast about a population of more than
100,000. Thereafter the transition from a rural to a predominantly urban nation was especially remarkable
because of its speed. By 1900, urbanization, with all of its benefits, problems, and prospects for a further
life, became the mark of modern America.
The changing physical landscape reflected the shift to urbanized society. Railroad terminals,
factories, skyscrapers, apartment houses, streetcars, department stores, and the increased pace of life were
all signs of an emerging urban America. Indeed, the vitality, dynamic quality, variety, and restless
experimentalism in society centered in the urban communities where the only constant factor was change

itself.
Urbanization did not proceed uniformly throughout the nation. New England and the Middle
Atlantic states contained the highest percentage of city dwellers. In the Middle West, the growth of cities
such as Chicago, Milwaukee, Cleveland, and St. Louis showed the importance of urbanization in that
region. The three West Coast states also experienced rapid urban growth. In the South, urbanization
developed much more slowly, although by 1910 the expansion of transportation, commerce, and industry
had greatly increased the population of older cities such as New Orleans and stimulated the growth of new
urban centers such as Birmingham. However, the South remained predominantly rural. Only somewhat
more than 20 percent of the population in that region was urban by 1910.
In some regions the urban impact had a depressing effect upon the surrounding rural communities.
Much of New England in the late nineteenth century presented a discouraging picture of abandoned farms
and sickly villages as people forsook the countryside and rushed to the larger town and cities. In the
Middle West, Particularly Ohio and Illinois, hundreds of townships lost population in the 1880's
Câu 1. The word "shift" in the passage is closest in meaning to _____.

Câu 2. Which of the following areas of the United States can be inferred to be the most urbanized at the
end of the 1800's?

A. the existence of public transportation
