to each of the questions.
The technology of the North American colonies did not differ strikingly from that of Europe, but in one respect, the
colonists enjoyed a great advantage. Especially by comparison with Britain, Americans had a wonderfully plentiful
supply of wood. The first colonists did not, as many people imagine, find an entire continent covered by a climax forest.
Even along the Atlantic seaboard, the foresIt was broken at many points. Nevertheless, all sorts of fine trees abounded,
and through the early colonial period, those who pushed westward encountered new forests. By the end of the colonial
era, the price of wood had risen slightly in eastern cities, but wood was still extremely abundant.
The availability of wood brought advantages that have seldom been appreciated. Wood was a foundation of the
economy. Houses and all manner of buildings were made of wood to a degree unknown in Britain. Secondly, wood was
used as fuel for heating and cooking. Thirdly, iIt was used as the source of important industrial compounds, such as

potash, an industrial alkali; charcoal, a component of gunpowder, and tannic acid, used for tanning leather.
The supply of wood conferred advantages but had some negative aspects as well. ron at that time was produced by
heating iron ore with charcoal. Because Britain was so stripped of trees, she was unable to exploit her rich iron mines.
But the American colonies had both iron ore and wood; iron production was encouraged and became successful.
However, when Britain developed coke smelting, the Colonies did not follow suit because they had plenty of wood and
besides, charcoal iron was stronger than coke iron. Coke smelting led to technologic innovations and was linked to the
emergence of the ndustrial Revolution. In the early nineteenth century, the former colonies lagged behind Britain in
industrial development because their supply of wood led them to cling to charcoal iron.
Question 30: According to the passage, by the end of the colonial period, the price of wood in eastern cities.......
A. decreased rapidly because of lower demand for wood
B. was slightly higher than in previous years
C. was much higher than iIt was in Britain
D. rose quickly because wood was becoming so scarce
Question 31: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The roots of the ndustrial Revolution.
B. The difference between charcoal iron and coke iron.
C. The advantages of using wood in the colonies.
D. The effects of an abundance of wood on the colonies,
Question 32: Why does the author mention "gunpowder" in paragraph 3?
A. To remind readers that the colonial era ended in warfare.
B. To illustrate the negative aspects of some industrial processes
C. To suggest that wood was not the only important product of the colonies.
D. To give an example of a product made with wood compounds


Question 33: The word "strikingly" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to......

Read the following passage and m ark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions.
There are desert plants which survive the dry season in the form of inactive seeds. There are also desert insects which
survive as inactive larvae. n addition, difficult as it is to believe, there are desert fish which can survive through years of
drought in the form of inactive eggs. These are the shrimps that live in the Mojave Desert, an intensely dry region in the
south-west of the United States where shade temperatures of over 50 oC are often recorded.

The eggs of the Mojave shrimps are the size and have the appearance of grains of sand. When sufficient spring rain
falls to form a lake, once every two to five years, these eggs hatch. Then the water is soon filled with millions of tiny
shrimps about a millimetre long which feed on tiny plant and animal organisms which also grow in the temporary desert
lake. Within a week, the shrimps grow from their original 1 millimetre to a length of about 1.5 centimetres.
Throughout the time that the shrimps are rapidly maturing, the water in the lake equally rapidly evaporates. Therefore,
for the shrimps it is a race against time. By the twelfth day, however, when they are about 3 centimetre long, hundreds of
tiny eggs form on the underbodies of the females. Usually by this time, all that remains of the lake is a large, muddy
patch of wet soil. On the thirteenth day and the next, during the final hours of their brief lives, the shrimps lay their eggs
in the mud. Then, having ensured that their species will survive, the shrimps die as the last of the water evaporates.
If sufficient rain falls the next year toform another lake, the eggs hatch, and once again the shrimps pass rapidly
through their cycle of growth, adulthood, egg-laying, and death. Some years there is insufficient rain to form a lake: iIn
this case, the eggs will remain dormant for another year, or even longer if necessary.
Very, very occasionally, perhaps twice in a hundred years, sufficient rain falls to form a deep lake that lasts a month or
more. In this case, the species passes through two cycles of growth, egg-laying, and death. Thus, on such occasions, the
species multiplies considerably, which further ensures its survival.
Question 43: Which is the best title for this passage?
A. Water and Life in the Desert
B. Life in the Mojave Desert


C. The Survival of Desert nsects
D. Life Cycle of the Mojave Shrimps
Question 44: By saying "for the shrimps it is a race against time"the author means.......
A. they have to swim fast to avoid danger in the rapidly evaporating lake
B. they have to complete their life cycle within a short span of time permitted by the environment
C. they have to multiply as many as possible within thirteen days
D. they have to swim fast to catch the animal organisms on which they survive
Question 45: It may be inferred from the passage that.......
A. some species develop a unique life pattern to survive in extremely harsh conditions
B. for some species one life cycle in a year is enough to survive the desert drought

C. appearance and size are most important for life to survive in the desert
D. a species must be able to multiply quickly in order to survive
Question 46: According to the passage, the eggs originate.......
A. in the lakes
B. in the mud
C. in the sand
D. on the female
Question 47: What is unusual about the Mojave Shrimps?
A. Their eggs can survive in an intensively dry region
B. They feed on plant and animal organisms.
C. Their lives are very brief.
D. They lay their eggs in the mud only.
Question 48: According to the passage, approximately how long does a shrimp live?

The technology of the North American colonies did not differ strikingly from that of Europe, but in one respect, the
colonists enjoyed a great advantage. Especially by comparison with Britain, Americans had a wonderfully plentiful
supply of wood. The first colonists did not, as many people imagine, find an entire continent covered by a climax forest.
Even along the Atlantic seaboard, the foresIt was broken at many points. Nevertheless, all sorts of fine trees abounded,
and through the early colonial period, those who pushed westward encountered new forests. By the end of the colonial

era, the price of wood had risen slightly in eastern cities, but wood was still extremely abundant.

potash, an industrial alkali; charcoal, a component of gunpowder, and tannic acid, used for tanning leather.
The supply of wood conferred advantages but had some negative aspects as well. ron at that time was produced by
heating iron ore with charcoal. Because Britain was so stripped of trees, she was unable to exploit her rich iron mines.
But the American colonies had both iron ore and wood; iron production was encouraged and became successful.
However, when Britain developed coke smelting, the Colonies did not follow suit because they had plenty of wood and

Read the following passage and m ark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions.
There are desert plants which survive the dry season in the form of inactive seeds. There are also desert insects which
survive as inactive larvae. n addition, difficult as it is to believe, there are desert fish which can survive through years of
drought in the form of inactive eggs. These are the shrimps that live in the Mojave Desert, an intensely dry region in the
south-west of the United States where shade temperatures of over 50 oC are often recorded.
The eggs of the Mojave shrimps are the size and have the appearance of grains of sand. When sufficient spring rain
falls to form a lake, once every two to five years, these eggs hatch. Then the water is soon filled with millions of tiny
shrimps about a millimetre long which feed on tiny plant and animal organisms which also grow in the temporary desert
lake. Within a week, the shrimps grow from their original 1 millimetre to a length of about 1.5 centimetres.
Throughout the time that the shrimps are rapidly maturing, the water in the lake equally rapidly evaporates. Therefore,
for the shrimps it is a race against time. By the twelfth day, however, when they are about 3 centimetre long, hundreds of

tiny eggs form on the underbodies of the females. Usually by this time, all that remains of the lake is a large, muddy
patch of wet soil. On the thirteenth day and the next, during the final hours of their brief lives, the shrimps lay their eggs
in the mud. Then, having ensured that their species will survive, the shrimps die as the last of the water evaporates.
If sufficient rain falls the next year toform another lake, the eggs hatch, and once again the shrimps pass rapidly
through their cycle of growth, adulthood, egg-laying, and death. Some years there is insufficient rain to form a lake: iIn
this case, the eggs will remain dormant for another year, or even longer if necessary.
Very, very occasionally, perhaps twice in a hundred years, sufficient rain falls to form a deep lake that lasts a month or
more. In this case, the species passes through two cycles of growth, egg-laying, and death. Thus, on such occasions, the
species multiplies considerably, which further ensures its survival.
Question 43: By saying "for the shrimps it is a race against time"the author means.......
A. they have to multiply as many as possible within thirteen days


B. they have to swim fast to catch the animal organisms on which they survive
C. they have to swim fast to avoid danger in the rapidly evaporating lake
D. they have to complete their life cycle within a short span of time permitted by the environment
Question 44: Which is the best title for this passage?
A. The Survival of Desert nsects
B. Water and Life in the Desert
C. Life Cycle of the Mojave Shrimps
D. Life in the Mojave Desert
Question 45: The word "these" in the first paragraph refers to.......
A. fish
B. eggs
C. plans
D. insects
Question 46: It may be inferred from the passage that.......
A. appearance and size are most important for life to survive in the desert
B. a species must be able to multiply quickly in order to survive
C. some species develop a unique life pattern to survive in extremely harsh conditions

D. for some species one life cycle in a year is enough to survive the desert drought
Question 47: The word "dormant"in the fourth paragraph most probably means.......

Read the following passage and m ark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions.
The technology of the North American colonies did not differ strikingly from that of Europe, but in one respect, the
colonists enjoyed a great advantage. Especially by comparison with Britain, Americans had a wonderfully plentiful
supply of wood. The first colonists did not, as many people imagine, find an entire continent covered by a climax forest.
Even along the Atlantic seaboard, the foresIt was broken at many points. Nevertheless, all sorts of fine trees abounded,
and through the early colonial period, those who pushed westward encountered new forests. By the end of the colonial
era, the price of wood had risen slightly in eastern cities, but wood was still extremely abundant.
The availability of wood brought advantages that have seldom been appreciated. Wood was a foundation of the
economy. Houses and all manner of buildings were made of wood to a degree unknown in Britain. Secondly, wood was


used as fuel for heating and cooking. Thirdly, iIt was used as the source of important industrial compounds, such as
potash, an industrial alkali; charcoal, a component of gunpowder, and tannic acid, used for tanning leather.
The supply of wood conferred advantages but had some negative aspects as well. ron at that time was produced by
heating iron ore with charcoal. Because Britain was so stripped of trees, she was unable to exploit her rich iron mines.
But the American colonies had both iron ore and wood; iron production was encouraged and became successful.
However, when Britain developed coke smelting, the Colonies did not follow suit because they had plenty of wood and
besides, charcoal iron was stronger than coke iron. Coke smelting led to technologic innovations and was linked to the
emergence of the ndustrial Revolution. In the early nineteenth century, the former colonies lagged behind Britain in
industrial development because their supply of wood led them to cling to charcoal iron.
Question 19: According to the passage, by the end of the colonial period, the price of wood in eastern cities.......
A. was much higher than iIt was in Britain

B. was slightly higher than in previous years
C. rose quickly because wood was becoming so scarce
D. decreased rapidly because of lower demand for wood
Question 20: The word "strikingly" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to......
A. realistically
B. immediately
C. completely
D. dramatically
Question 21: Why does the author mention "gunpowder" in paragraph 3?
A. To illustrate the negative aspects of some industrial processes
B. To give an example of a product made with wood compounds
C. To suggest that wood was not the only important product of the colonies.
D. To remind readers that the colonial era ended in warfare.
Question 22: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The advantages of using wood in the colonies.
B. The difference between charcoal iron and coke iron.
C. The effects of an abundance of wood on the colonies,
D. The roots of the ndustrial Revolution.
Question 23: According to the passage, why was the use of coke smelting advantageous?
A. It stimulated the demand for wood.
B. It produced a stronger type of iron than wood smelting.
C. It was less expensive than wood smelting,
D. It led to advances in technology.
Question 24: Which of the following is a common assumption about the forests of North America during the colonial
period?
A. They existed only along the Atlantic seaboard.
B. They contained only a few types of trees.

Read the following passage and m ark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions.
There are desert plants which survive the dry season in the form of inactive seeds. There are also desert insects which
survive as inactive larvae. n addition, difficult as it is to believe, there are desert fish which can survive through years of
drought in the form of inactive eggs. These are the shrimps that live in the Mojave Desert, an intensely dry region in the
south-west of the United States where shade temperatures of over 50 oC are often recorded.
The eggs of the Mojave shrimps are the size and have the appearance of grains of sand. When sufficient spring rain
falls to form a lake, once every two to five years, these eggs hatch. Then the water is soon filled with millions of tiny
shrimps about a millimetre long which feed on tiny plant and animal organisms which also grow in the temporary desert
lake. Within a week, the shrimps grow from their original 1 millimetre to a length of about 1.5 centimetres.
Throughout the time that the shrimps are rapidly maturing, the water in the lake equally rapidly evaporates. Therefore,
for the shrimps it is a race against time. By the twelfth day, however, when they are about 3 centimetre long, hundreds of
tiny eggs form on the underbodies of the females. Usually by this time, all that remains of the lake is a large, muddy
patch of wet soil. On the thirteenth day and the next, during the final hours of their brief lives, the shrimps lay their eggs
in the mud. Then, having ensured that their species will survive, the shrimps die as the last of the water evaporates.
If sufficient rain falls the next year toform another lake, the eggs hatch, and once again the shrimps pass rapidly

through their cycle of growth, adulthood, egg-laying, and death. Some years there is insufficient rain to form a lake: iIn
this case, the eggs will remain dormant for another year, or even longer if necessary.
Very, very occasionally, perhaps twice in a hundred years, sufficient rain falls to form a deep lake that lasts a month or
more. In this case, the species passes through two cycles of growth, egg-laying, and death. Thus, on such occasions, the
species multiplies considerably, which further ensures its survival.
