During the second half of the nineteenth century, the production of food and feed crops in the
United States rose at an extraordinarily rapid rate. Com production increased by four and a half times, hay
by five times, oats and wheat by seven times. The most crucial factor behind this phenomenal upsurge in
productivity was the widespread adoption of labor-saving machinery by northern farmers. By 1850 horse-
drawn reaping machines that cut grain were being introduced into the major grain-growing regions of the
country. Horse-powered threshing machines to separate the seeds from the plants were already in general
use. However, it was the onset of the Civil War in 1861 that provided the great stimulus for the
mechanization of northern agriculture. With much of the labor force inducted into the army and with
grain prices on the rise, northern farmers rushed to avail themselves of the new labor-saving equipment.
In 1860 there were approximately 80,000 reapers in the country; five years later there were 350,000.
After the close of the war in 1865, machinery became ever more important in northern agriculture,
and improved equipment was continually introduced. By 1880 a self-binding reaper had been perfected
that not only cut the grain, but also gathered the stalks and bound them with twine. Threshing machines
were also being improved and enlarged, and after 1870 they were increasingly powered by steam engines
rather than by horses. Since steam-powered threshing machines were costly items-running from $ 1,000
to $4,000 - they were usually owned by custom thresher owners who then worked their way from farm to
farm during the harvest season. “Combines” were also coming into use on the great wheat ranches in
California and the Pacific Northwest. These ponderous machines - sometimes pulled by as many as 40
horses - reaped the grain, threshed it, and bagged it, all in one simultaneous operation.
The adoption of labor-saving machinery had a profound effect upon the sale of agricultural
operations in the northern states-allowing farmers to increase vastly their crop acreage. By the end of
century, a farmer employing the new machinery could plant and harvest two and half times as much com
as a farmer had using hand methods 50 years before.
Question 28. What aspect of farming in the United States in the nineteenth century does the passage
mainly discuss?
A. How labor-saving machinery increased crop production
B. Why southern farms were not as successful as northern farms
C. Farming practices before the Civil War
D. The increase in the number of people taking up farming
Question 29. The word “crucial” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .
A. obvious B. unbelievable C. important D. desirable
Question 30. The phrase “avail themselves of” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .

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 35 to 42.
In the early 1800s, to reach the jump-off point for the West, a family from the East of the United
States could either buy a steamboat passage to Missouri for themselves, their wagons and their livestock
or, as happened more often, simply pile everything into a wagon, hitch up a team, and begin their
overland trek right in their front yard.
Along the macadamized roads and turnpikes east of the Missouri River, travel was comparatively
fast, camping easy, and supplies plentiful. Then, in one river town or another, the neophyte emigrants
would pause to lay in provisions. For outfitting purposes, the town of Independence had been preeminent
ever since 1827, but the rising momentum of pioneer emigration had produced some rival jump-off
points. Westport and Fort Leavenworth flourished a few miles upriver. St. Joseph had sprung up 55 miles
to the northwest; in fact, emigrants who went to Missouri by riverboat could save four days on the trail by
staying on the paddle wheelers to St. Joe before striking overland.
At whatever jump-off point they chose, the emigrants studied guide books and directions, asked
questions of others as green as themselves, and made their final decision about outfitting. They had
various, sometimes conflicting, options. For example, either pack animals or two -wheel carts or wagons
could be used for the overland crossing. A family man usually chose the wagon. It was the costliest and
slowest of the three, but it provided space and shelter for children and for a wife who likely as not was
pregnant. Everybody knew that a top-heavy covered wagon might blow over in a prairie wind or be
overturned by mountain rocks, that it might mire in river mud or sink to its hubs in desert sand, but maybe
if those things happened on this trip, they would happen to someone else. Anyway, most pioneers, with
their farm background, were used to wagons.
