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

During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the contribution 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 form 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
mass of ordinary women. The lives of ordinary people continued, generally, to be untold in the American
histories being published.

A. poetry produced by women was more readily accepted than other writing by women.

B. only three women were able to get their writing published.

that many of these traits which he observed nearly 200 years ago, are still visible and meaningful today. His
observations are also important because the timing of his visit, the 1830s, was before America was

industrialized. This was the era of the small farmer, the small businessman, and the settling of the western
frontier. It was the period of history when the traditional values of the new country were newly established. In
just a generation, some 40 years since the adoption of the U.S. Constitution, the new form of government had
already produced a society of people with unique values. He was, however, a neutral observer and saw both the
good and bad sides of these qualities.

The first part of “Democracy in America” was written in 1831-32 and published in 1835. A highly
positive and optimistic account of American government and society, the book was very well received. He
attempted to get a glimpse of the essence of American society, all the while promoting his own philosophy: the
equaling of the classes and the inevitable depth of aristocratic privilege. The rest of the book he labored on for
four years, and in 1840 the second part was published. This was substantially more pessimistic than the first,
warning of the dangers despotism and governmental centralization, and applying his ideas and criticisms more
directly to France. As a result, it was not received as well as the first part, except in England where it was
acclaimed highly.

Question 56: The phrase “these traits” refers to

A. observations B. how Americans think, feel, and act

C. traditional American beliefs and values D. visible and meaningful observations
Question 57: What is the passage primarily about?

A. the progress achieved in America within about 40 years after adoption of the U.S. Constitution
B. “Democracy in America”

C. Alexis de Tocqueville

D. the impact of the book “Democracy in America”

Question 58: The word “unique” in the passage is closest in meaning to

A. clearly identifiable B. outstanding C. unmatched D. positive
Question 59: According to the passage, when did de Tocqueville visit America?
A. in 1831 B. in the 1830s C. from 1831 to 32 D. in 1835
Question 60: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A. the English don‟t like the French

B. the book was most important because it was the first time that American values had been clearly documented
C. de Tocqueville was a slow writer

D. de Tocqueville was primarily motivated by an interest in his own country

Question 61: According to the passage, “Democracy in America” consisted of how many volumes?

Question 62: Which of the following is true, according to the passage?
A. the visit lasted only five months.

B. the visit coincided with American industrialization.

C. the first part was published in 1835; the second part in 1840.
D. the second part was more optimistic than the first.

Question 63: What in the passage is mentioned as being truly remarkable?

A. the book was so detailed and thorough after only such a comparatively short visit.
B. de Tocqueville‟s powers of observation

C. many of his observations are still visible and meaningful today.

D. that the second volume should be so pessimistic in comparison with the first.
