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.
Alexis de Tocqueville, the French political scientist, historian, philosopher and politician, is
most famous for a four-volume book he wrote called “Democracy in America”. He came to America
in 1831 to study the American form of democracy and what it might mean to the rest of the world.
After a visit of only nine months, he wrote a remarkable book which is regarded as a classic. De
Tocqueville had unusual powers of observation. He described not only the democratic system of
government and how it operated, but also its effect on how Americans think, feel, and act. Many
scholars believe he had a deeper understanding of traditional American beliefs and values than
anyone else who has written about the United States. What is so remarkable is 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.

B. He came to America in 1831.
C. He had unusual powers of observation. D. He had written about the United States.
Question 39: 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

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

A. 1831
B. 1830s
C. 1831-32
D. 1835
Question 43: The word “neutral” in the passage is closest in meaning to____________.
