correct answer to each of the questions 28 to 32.

May 7, 1840, was the birthday of one of the most famous Russian composers of the nineteenth century
Peter Illich Tchaikovsky. The son of a mining inspector, Tchaikovsky studied music as a child and later
studied composition at the St. Petersburg Conservatory. His greatest period of productivity occurred
between 1876 and 1890, during which time he enjoyed the patronage of Madame von Meck, a woman
he never met, who gave him a living stipend of about $1,000.00 a year. Madame von Meck later
terminated her friendship with Tchaikovsky, as well as his living allowance, when she, herself, was
facing financial difficulties. It was during the time of Madame von Meck's patronage, however, that

Tchaikovsky created the music for which he is most famous, including the music for the ballets of Swan
Lake and The Sleeping Beauty.

Tchaikovsky's music, well known for its rich melodic and sometimes melancholy passages, was one of
the first that brought serious dramatic music to dance. Before this, little attention had been given to the
music behind the dance. Tchaikovsky died on November 6, 1893, ostensibly of cholera, though there are
now some scholars who argue that he committed suicide.

Question 28: According to the passage, all of the following describe Madame von Meck
EXCEPT______.

A. She was never introduced to Tchaikovsky. B. She had economic troubles.
C. She was generous. D. She enjoyed Tchaikovsky's music.
Question 29: It is known that before Tchaikovsky, _________.

A. serous dramatic music had been already brought to dance
B. the music behind the dance had been taken seriously

C. the music behind the dance had been given very little attention.
D. music had been famous for its rich melodic passages

Question 30: With what topic is the passage primarily concerned?
A. the cause of Tchaikovsky's death

B. Tchaikovsky's relationship with Madame Von Meck
C. development of Tchaikovsky's music for ballets
D. the life and music of Tchaikovsky

Question 31: Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word "behind"?

A. in back of B. going beyond C. supporting D. concealing
