IV. 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.

As the twentieth century began, the importance of formal education in the United States
increased. The frontier had mostly disappeared and by 1910 most Americans lived in towns and
cities. Industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life combined with a new emphasis
upon credentials and expertise to make schooling increasingly important for economic and social
mobility. Increasingly, too, schools were viewed as the most important means of integrating
immigrants into American society.

</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(3)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=3>

education and counseling extended the influence of public schools over the lives of students,
many of whom in the larger industrial cities were the children of immigrants. Classes for adult
immigrants were sponsored by public schools, corporations, unions, churches, settlement

houses, and other agencies.

Reformers early in the twentieth century suggested that education programs should suit the
needs of specific populations. Immigrant women were once such population. Schools tried to
educate young women so they could occupy productive places in the urban industrial economy,
and one place many educators considered appropriate for women was the home.

Although looking after the house and family was familiar to immigrant women, American
education gave homemaking a new definition. In pre-industrial economies, homemaking had
meant the production as well as the consumption of goods, and it commonly included
income-producing activities both inside and outside the home, in the highly industrialized
early-twentieth-century United States, however, overproduction rather than scarcity was becoming a problem.
Thus, the ideal American homemaker was viewed as a consumer rather than a producer. Schools
trained women to be consumer homemakers cooking, shopping, decorating, and caring for
children "efficiently" in their own homes, or if economic necessity demanded, as employees in
the homes of others. Subsequent reforms have made these notions seem quite out-of-date.
Question 25 : The paragraph preceding the passage probably discusses _____.

A. the most important means of integrating immigrants into American society in the nineteen
century.

B. the urbanization in the United States in the nineteen century.

C. the industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life the United States in the
19th_century

D. the formal schooling in the United States in the nineteen century.

Question 26 : It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that one important factor in the increasing
importance of education in the United States was _____.

D. an increase in the number of trained teachers

. 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.

As Christmas evolved in the United States, new customs were adopted and many old ones
were reworked. The legend of Santa Claus, for example, had origins in Europe and was brought
by Dutch settlers to New York in the early 18th_{century. Traditionally, Santa Claus – from the}
Dutch Sinter Klaas – was depicted as a tall, dignified, religious figure riding a white horse through
the air. Known as Saint Nicholas in Germany, he was usually accompanied by Black Peter, an
elf who punished disobedient children. In North America he eventually developed into a fat, jolly
old gentleman who had neither the religious attributes of Saint Nicholas nor the strict
disciplinarian character of Black Peter.

Santa’s transformation began in 1823, when a New York newspaper published the poem A
Visit from Saint Nicholas, which Clement Clark Moore had written to amuse his daughter. The
poem introduced many Americans to the story of a kindly saint who flew over housetops in a
reindeer-drawn sleigh. Portraits and drawings of Santa Claus by American illustrator Thomas
Nast further strengthened the legend during the second half of the 19th_{century. Living at the}
North Pole and assisted by elves, the modern Santa produced and delivered toys to all good
children. By the late 19th_{century he had become such a prominent figure of American folklore}
that in 1897, when Virginia O’Hanlon wrote to the New York Sun newspaper asking if Santa was
real, she received a direct answer: “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus”.

II. Read the following passage and choose the best answer (5pts)

Until recently, the “science of the future” was supported to be electronics and artificial
intelligence. Today it seems more and more likely that the next breakthrougj in technology will be
brought about through a combination of those two sciences with organic chemistry and genetic
engineering. This science is the combination of biotechnology.

Organic chemistry enables us to produce marvelous synthetic materials. However, it is still
difficult to manufacture anything that has the capacity of wool to conserve heat and also to absorb
moisture. Nothing that we have been able to produce so far comes anywhere near the
combination of strength, lightness, and flexibility that we find in the bodies of ordinary insects.
Nevertheless, scientists in the laboratory have already succeeded in “ growing” a material that
has many of the characteristics of human skin. The next step may well be “ biotech heart and
eyes” which can replace diseased organs in human beings. This will not be ejected by the body
, as in the case with organs from humans.

The application of biotechnology to energy production seems even more promising. In 1996,
the famous science-fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke, many of whose previous predictions have
come true, said that we may soon be able to develop remarkably cheap and renewable sources
of energy. Some of these power sources will be biological. Clarke and others have warned us
repeatedly that sooner or later we will have to give up our dependence on non-renewable power

sources. Coal, oil and gas are indeed convenient. However, using them also means creating
dangerously high levels of pollution. It will be impossible to meet the growing demand for energy
without increasing that pollution to catastrophic levels unless we develop power sources that are
both cheaper and cleaner.

Passage 2:

It is very important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food. They also
help us to look nice. How does a tooth go bad? The decay begins in a little crack in the enamel
covering of the tooth. This happens after germs and bits of food have collected there then the
decay slowly spreads inside the tooth. Eventually, poison goes into the blood, and we may feel
quite ill.

How can we keep our teeth healthy? Firstly, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He
can fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to
check that they are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have
toothache before they see a dentist. Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and
fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day- once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We
can also use wooden toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a meal. Thirdly, we should eat
food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish, brown bread, potatoes, red rice,
raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolate, sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad, especially when
we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay.
76. Good teeth help us to __________.

A. chew our food B. be important

C. have good health D. have good eyesight

77. When food and germs collect in a small crack, our teeth ___________.
A. send poison into the blood B. make us feel quite ill

C. begin to decay D. become hard

They called New York “the Big Apple”. Maybe it is not exactly like an apple, it’s certainly very
big. There are too many people, that’s the problem. The streets are always full of car and trucks,
you can never find a place to park.

If you have enough money, you can take a taxi. New York cabs are yellow. They look all the
same. But the drivers are very different. Some were born and raised in New York, but many are
newcomers to the United States. A few drive slowly, but most go very very fast. Cab driving is
difficult job. It can be dangerous too. Thieves often try to steal the drivers’ money. Drivers
sometimes get hurt.

If you don’t want to take a taxi, you can go by bus or you can take the subway. The subway
is quick and it’s cheap, but parts of it are old and dirty. Lights don’t always work and there are

often fire on the track. On some subway lines, there are new, clean, silver trains. But you can’t
see the color of the old trains easily. There is too much dirt and too much graffiti, inside and out
