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 following questions.
Although most universities in the United States are on a semester system, which offers classes in
the fall and spring, some schools observe a quarter system comprised of fall, winter, spring, and
summer quarters. The academic year, September to June, is divided into three quarters of eleven
weeks each beginning in September, January, and March: the summer quarter, June to August, is
composed of shorter sessions of vary length.
There are several advantages and disadvantages to the quarter system. On the plus side,
students who wish to complete their degrees in less than the customary four years may take
advantage of the opportunity to study year round by enrolling in all four quarters. In addition,
although most students begin their programs in the fall quarter, they may enter at the beginning of
any other quarters. Finally, since the physical facilities are kept in operation year round, the
resources are used effectively to serve the greatest number of students. But there are several
disadvantages as well. Many faculty complain that eleven-week term is simply not enough for
them to cover the material required by most college coursed. Students also find it difficult to
complete the assignments in such a short period of time.
In order to combine the advantages of the quarter system with those of the semester system
some colleges and universities have instituted a three-term trimester system. In fourteen weeks,
faculty and students have more time to cover material and finish course requirements, but the
additional term provides options for admission during the year and accelerates the degree
programs for those students who wish to graduate early.

It’s time men stopped looking down on women. Women won their independence years ago. After a
long struggle, they now enjoy the same educational opportunities as men in most parts of the
world. They have proved repeatedly that they are equal and often superior to men in almost every
field.
The battle for recognition has been won, but it is by no means over. Men still carry on the sex
war because their attitude remains basically (22)________. Even in the most progressive societies,
women continue to be regarded as (23)________ citizens. However much men sneer at women, their
claims to superiority are not borne out by statistics. Let's consider the matter of driving, for
instance. We all know that women cause fewer accidents than men. Women have succeeded in any
job you care to name. As politicians, soldiers, doctors, factory-hands, university professors,
farmers, company directors, lawyers, bus-conductors, scientists and presidents of countries they
have often (24)________ And we must remember that they frequently succeed brilliantly in all these
fields in addition to bearing and rearing 25 children.
Yet men go on saying that there are many jobs women can't do. Top-level political negotiation
between countries, business and banks and etc. are almost controlled by men, who guard their socalled 'rights'. They shun real competition. They know in their hearts that women are superior
and they are afraid of being (25)________ at their own game. One of the most important tasks in the
world is to achieve peace between the nations. You can be sure that if women were allowed to sit
round the conference table, they would succeed brilliantly, as they always do, where men have

failed for centuries. Some things are too important to be left (26)________ men.
