For a brief interlude in American history between the passing of the Indian
and the buffalo and the entry of the farmer and the barbed-wire fence, the

Great Plains witnessed the most picturesque industrial drama ever staged – the drama
Line of the open range and the cattle ranch. If the Southern planter could once claim
(5) that cotton was king, the Western cattleman could proclaim with equal fervor

that grass was king. For the time being, at least, the plains were one limitless,
fenceless, gateless pasture of rich, succulent, and ownerless grass that was there
for the taking. Within an incredibly short period the herds of bison had been
replaced and outnumbered by the herds of cattle.

(10) This vast expanse of grassland, populated mainly by longhorn cattle

and hardworking cowboys, became the domain of a group of entrepreneurs who
decided that they could make money in cattle. These were the hardheaded

businessmen who built the Western livestock industry. They were known as the
cattle barons, a term they detested, and they ruled enormous fields that as of 1883
(15) held half of the West’s 23 million cows.

In background these businessmen varied widely. A would-be baron often
started as a cowboy himself – perhaps one of the men who had drifted into the
brushlands after fighting in the Texas Revolution of 1836. Or he might be a
refugee from a burned-out farm in the Old South. Or he might be an Easterner
(20) seeking a new life and fortune on the frontier. In any case, he was likely to be an

adventurous man, accustomed to hard work and violence and ready for both.
These men were alike in another respect: they kept their eyes fixed on the
profit-and-loss statement. And in so doing they managed to establish a business – and
a way of life – that the world would see only once in the Old West they ruled.
Question 46. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. The decline of buffalo herds. B. The early development of the cattle industry.
C. Financial advantages of Western ranching. D. Techniques of raising cattle.

Question 47. According to the passage, a notable characteristic of the Great Plains at this time was
A. its relation to the Old South B. its crowded population

C. its open grassland D. its opportunities for farmers
Question 48. All of the following can be inferred from the first paragraph EXCEPT

A. there were more cattle on the range during this period than buffalo
B. grass was the most important commodity for the cattleman

C. grazing land at this time was free

D. cotton was important in Western agriculture

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 56 to 65.

Tomatoes are probably the most popular garden vegetable grown in the
United States. This can be attributed to their unique flavor, attractiveness,

richness as a source of vitamins C and A, and versatility as a food. The
Line popularity of peppers as a garden plant can be attributed to the same factors,
(5) although they are usually not consumed in large enough quantities to make

them an important nutritional factor in the diet.

The cultivated tomato originated in the Andes mountains of South America. It
was introduced to other areas of the world by Indians and European travelers.
Its seeds were taken to Europe, where a superstition soon arose that the tomato
(10) stimulated love. Because of this, the tomato was called the “love apple”. The first

report of the tomato in North America was in 1710, where it was grown
primarily as an ornamental plant. Early colonists brought the seeds to Virgina
and grew tomatoes in flower gardens.

Tomatoes, actually a fruit that is used as a vegetable, began gaining wide
(15) acceptance as a food plant in the United States between 1820 and 1850. Modern

plant growers have done much to improve the tomato and add to its usefulness.
Its yields have been doubled, and varieties with larger, smoother, more even
shapes and meatier pulps have been developed. The tomato is the leading crop
canned in the United States today.

(20) Peppers are also native to America and were grown by American Indian tribes
in both North and South America over 2,000 years ago. The small red hot

peppers were discovered by Columbus in the West Indies and introduced into
Europe, where they became popular before gaining widespread acceptance in
the United States. Peppers became one of the first New World foods used

</div>
(5)<div class='page_container' data-page=5>

peppers are of both mild and pungent types. Peppers enjoy warm climates, and
young plants can be injured by frosts. Seasonings such as paprika and chili
(30) powder and food products such as canned pimentos are commercial uses of

garden peppers that are grown in the United States today.

The familiar spice black pepper known in households throughout the world is
the product of a trailing or climbing shrub grown in Indonesia and other hot
countries. The islands of Java and Madura furnish most of the black pepper used
(35) in American homes. The United States buys almost 25,000 tons of this spice annually.
