Reading Comprehension

Question 1 -7
Hotels were among the earliest facilities that bound the United States together. They
were both creatures and creators of communities, as well symptoms of the frenetic
quest for community. Even in the first part of the nineteenth century, Americans were
Line already forming the habit of gathering from all corners of the nation for both public and
(5) private, business and pleasure, purposes. Conventions were the new occasions, and
hotels were distinctively American facilities making conventions possible. The first
national convention of a major party to choose a candidate for President (that of the
National Republican party, which met on December 12, 1831, and nominated Henry
Clay for President) was held in Baltimore, at a hotel that was then reputed to be the
(10) best in the country. The presence in Baltimore of Barnum's City Hotel, a six-story
building with two hundred apartments, helps explain why many other early national
political conventions were held there.
In the longer run, American hotels made other national conventions not only
possible but pleasant and convivial. The growing custom of regularly assembling from
(15) afar the representatives of all kinds of groups – not only for political conventions, but
also for commercial, professional, learned, and avocations ones – in turn supported
the multiplying hotels. By the mid-twentieth century, conventions accounted for over a
third of the yearly room occupancy of all hotels in the nation; about eighteen thousand
different conventions were held annually with a total attendance of about ten million
(20) persons.
Nineteenth-century American hotelkeepers, who were no longer the genial,
deferential "hosts" of the eighteenth-century European inn, became leading citizens.
Holding a large stake in the community, they exercised power to make it prosper. As
owners or managers of the local "palace of the public,” they were makers and shapers
(25) of a principal community attraction. Travelers from abroad were mildly shocked by this
high social position.

Question 8 -17
Beads were probably the first durable ornaments humans possessed, and the
intimate relationship they had with their owners is reflected in the fact that beads are
among the most common items found in ancient archaeological sites. In the past, as
Line today, men, women, and children adorned themselves with beads. In some cultures
(5) still, certain beads are often worn from birth until death, and then are buried with their
owners for the afterlife. Abrasion due to daily wear alters the surface features of beads,
and if they are buried for long, the effects of corrosion can further change their
appearance. Thus, interest is imparted to the bead both by use and the effects of time.
Besides their wearability, either as jewelry or incorporated into articles of attire,
(10) beads possess the desirable characteristics of every collectible: they are durable,
portable, available in infinite variety, and often valuable in their original cultural
context as well as in today's market. Pleasing to look at and touch, beads come in
shapes, colors, and materials that almost compel one to handle them and to sort them.
Beads are miniature bundles of secrets waiting to be revealed: their history,
(15) manufacture, cultural context, economic role, and ornamental use are all points of
information one hopes to unravel. Even the most mundane beads may have traveled
great distances and been exposed to many human experiences. The bead researcher
must gather information from many diverse fields. In addition to having to be a
generalist while specializing in what may seem to be a narrow field, the researcher is
(20) faced with the problem of primary materials that have little or no documentation. Many
ancient beads that are of ethnographic interest have often been separated from their
original cultural context.
The special attractions of beads contribute to the uniqueness of bead research. While
often regarded as the "small change of civilizations,” beads are a part of every culture,
(25) and they can often be used to date archaeological sites and to designate the degree of
mercantile, technological, and cultural sophistication.

8. What is the main subject of the passage? 10. The word "attire" in line 9 is closest in

(A) Materials used in making beads

Question 18 -31
In the world of birds, bill design is a prime example of evolutionary fine-tuning.
Shorebirds such as oystercatchers use their bills to pry open the tightly sealed shells of
their prey; hummingbirds have stiletto-like bills to probe the deepest nectar-bearing
Line flowers; and kiwis smell out earthworms thanks to nostrils located at the tip of their
(5) beaks. But few birds are more intimately tied to their source of sustenance than are
crossbills. Two species of these finches, named for the way the upper and lower parts
of their bills cross, rather than meet in the middle, reside in the evergreen forests of
North America and feed on the seeds held within the cones of coniferous trees.
The efficiency of the bill is evident when a crossbill locates a cone. Using a lateral
(10) motion of its lower mandible, the bird separates two overlapping scales on the cone and
exposes the seed. The crossed mandibles enable the bird to exert a powerful biting
force at the bill tips, which is critical for maneuvering them between the scales and
spreading the scales apart. Next, the crossbill snakes its long tongue into the gap and
draws out the seed. Using the combined action of the bill and tongue, the bird cracks
(15) open and discards the woody seed covering and swallows the nutritious inner kernel.
This whole process takes but a few seconds and is repeated hundreds of times a day.
The bills of different crossbill species and subspecies vary – some are stout and
deep, others more slender and shallow. As a rule, large-billed crossbills are better at
securing seeds from large cones, while small-billed crossbills are more deft at
(20) removing the seeds from small, thin-scaled cones. Moreover, the degree to which cones
are naturally slightly open or tightly closed helps determine which bill design is the
best.
One anomaly is the subspecies of red crossbill known as the Newfoundland
crossbill. This bird has a large, robust bill, yet most of Newfoundland's conifers have
(25) small cones, the same kind of cones that the slender-billed white-wings rely on.

18. What does the passage mainly discuss? 20. Why does the author mention oystercatchers,

Question 32 -38
If you look closely at some of the early copies of the Declaration or Independence,
beyond the flourished signature of John Hancock and the other fifty-five men who
signed it, you will also find the name of one woman, Mary Katherine Goddard. It was
Line she, a Baltimore printer, who published the first official copies of the Declaration, the
(5) first copies that included the names of its signers and therefore heralded the support of
all thirteen colonies.
Mary Goddard first got into printing at the age of twenty-four when her brother
opened a printing shop in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1762. When he proceeded to
get into trouble with his partners and creditors. it was Mary Goddard and her mother
(10) who were left to run the shop. In 1765 they began publishing the Providence Gazette, a
weekly newspaper. Similar problems seemed to follow her brother as he opened
businesses in Philadelphia and again in Baltimore. Each time Ms. Goddard was
brought in to run the newspapers. After starting Baltimore's first newspaper, The
Maryland Journal, in 1773, her brother went broke trying to organize a colonial postal
(15) service. While he was in debtor's prison, Mary Katherine Goddard's name appeared on
the newspaper's masthead for the first time.
When the Continental Congress fled there from Philadelphia in 1776, it
commissioned Ms. Goddard to print the first official version of the Declaration of
Independence in January 1777. After printing the documents, she herself paid the post
(20) riders to deliver the Declaration throughout the colonies.
During the American Revolution, Mary Goddard continued to publish Baltimore's
only newspaper, which one historian claimed was "second to none among the
colonies." She was also the city's Postmaster from 1775 to 1789 – appointed by
Benjamin Franklin – and is considered to be the first woman to hold a federal position.

32. With which of the following subjects is the (A) was appointed by Benjamin Franklin

Question 39 -50
Galaxies are the major building blocks of the universe. A galaxy is a giant family of
many millions of stars, and it is held together by its own gravitational field. Most of the
material universe is organized into galaxies of stars, together with gas and dust.
Line There are three main types of galaxy: spiral, elliptical, and irregular. The Milky
(5) Way is a spiral galaxy: a flattish disc of star with two spiral arms emerging from its
central nucleus. About one-quarter of all galaxies have this shape. Spiral galaxies are
well supplied with the interstellar gas in which new stars form; as the rotating spiral
pattern sweeps around the galaxy it compresses gas and dust, triggering the formation
of bright young stars in its arms. The elliptical galaxies have a symmetrical elliptical or
(10) spheroidal shape with no obvious structure. Most of their member stars are very old
and since ellipticals are devoid of interstellar gas, no new stars are forming in them.
The biggest and brightest galaxies in the universe are ellipticals with masses of about
1013 times that of the Sun; these giants may frequently be sources of strong radio
emission, in which case they are called radio galaxies. About two-thirds of all galaxies
(15) are elliptical. Irregular galaxies comprise about one-tenth of all galaxies and they come
in many subclasses.
Measurement in space is quite different from measurement on Earth. Some
terrestrial distances can be expressed as intervals of time: the time to fly from one
continent to another or the time it takes to drive to work, for example. By comparison
(20) with these familiar yardsticks, the distances to the galaxies are incomprehensibly large,
but they too are made more manageable by using a time calibration, in this case, the
distance that light travels in one year. On such a scale the nearest giant spiral galaxy,
the Andromeda galaxy, is two million light years away. The most distant luminous
objects seen by telescopes are probably ten thousand million light years away. Their
light was already halfway here before the Earth even formed. The light from the nearby
Virgo galaxy set out when reptiles still dominated the animal world.

39. The word "major" in line 1 is closest in 42. According to the passage, new stars are
meaning to formed in spiral galaxies due to
(A) intense (A) an explosion of gas
(B) principal (B) the compression of gas and dust

(man) Hi. Lynn, I saw you at registration yesterday. I sailed right through. but you were
standing in a long line.
(woman) Yeah, I waited an hour to sign up for a distance-learning course.
(man) Distance learning? Never heard of it.
(woman) Well, it's new this semester - it's only open to psychology majors. But I bet it'll
catch on elsewhere. Yesterday over a hundred students signed up.
(man) Well, what is it?
(woman) It's an experimental course. r registered for child psychology. All I've got to do is
watch a twelve-week series of televised lessons. The department shows them
several different times a day and in several different locations.
(man) Don't you ever have to meet with your professor?
(woman) Yeah, after each part of the series I have to talk to her and the other students on the
phone, you know, about our ideas. Then we'll meet on campus three times for
reviews and exams.
(man) It sounds pretty nontraditional to me, but I guess it makes sense, considering how
many students have jobs. It must really help with their schedules - not to mention
how it'll cut down on traffic.
(woman) You know, last year my department did a survey and they found out that 80 percent
of all psychology majors were employed. That's why they came up with the
program. Look. I'll be working three days a week next semester, and it was either
cut back on my classes or try this out.
 (man) The only thing is ... doesn't it seem impersonal. though? I mean, I'd miss having
class discussions and hearing what other people think. .
(woman) Well, I guess that's why phone contact's important. Anyway, it's an experiment.
Maybe I'll end up hating it. '
(man) Maybe, but ... I'll be curious to see how it works out

35. Where did the man see the woman yesterday?

36. How is the distance learning course different from traditional courses?

38. Why did the woman decide to enroll in the distance-learning course?
39. What does the man think is a disadvantage of distance learning?

PART C
Question 40 through 43. Listen to a student report in a United States history class.

(woman) So, uh ... as Jim said, James Polk was the eleventh President, and … uh ... well,
my reports about the next President - Zachary Taylor. Taylor was elected in 1849.
It's surprising because ... well, he was the first President that didn't have any
previous political experience. The main reason he was chosen as a candidate was
because he was a war hero. In the army, his men called him "Old Rough and
Ready" ... I guess because of his ... "rough edges." He was kind of blunt and he
didn't really look like a military hero. He liked to do things like wear civilian
clothes instead of a uniform - even in battle., And he was so short and plump he
had to be lifted up onto his horse. But he did win a lot of battles and he became
more and more popular. So, the Whig party decided to nominate him for the
presidency, even though no one knew anything about where he stood on the issues.
I couldn't find much about his accomplishments - probably because he was only
in office about a year and a half before he died. But one thing - he pushed for the
development of the transcontinental railroad because he thought it was important
to form a link with the West Coast - there was a lot of wealth in California and
Oregon from commerce and minerals and stuff. Also, he established an
agricultural bureau in the Department of the Interior and promoted more
government aid 'to agriculture. Well, that's about all I found. Like I said, he died
in office -- in 1850 - so his Vice President took over ... and that's the next report,
so ... thank you.

40. Why was Zachary Taylor chosen by his party as a candidate for President?
41. According to the speaker, why is it surprising that Taylor was elected President?
42. Why did Taylor accomplish relatively little as President?
43. What will the class probably do next?

Questions 44 through 46. Listen to a talk at a special event.

(man) I want to welcome each and every balloon enthusiast to Philadelphia. Thank you
for coming here this morning to commemorate the first balloon voyage in the
United States. On January 9, 1793, at ten 0'clock in the morning, a silk balloon
lifted into the skies above this "city, which was, at the time, the capital of the
country. According to the original records of the flight, the voyage lasted forty-
six minutes, from its departure in Philadelphia to its landing across the Delaware
River in New Jersey. "Though our pilots today will try to approximate the original
landing site, they're at the mercy of the winds, so who knows where they'll drift
off to. Even the balloonist in 1793 experienced some uncertain whether that day.
 There were clouds, fog, and mist in various directions. Our reenactment promises
to be nothing less than spectacular. The yellow balloon directly behind me is five
stories high. It's inflated with helium, unlike the original. which was filled with
hydrogen and, unbeknownst to the pilot, potentially explosive. Gas-filled models
are pretty uncommon now because of the extremely high cost, so the eighty other
balloons in today's launch are hot air, heated by propane burners. These balloons
are from all over the country.

44. What is the purpose of the balloon launch?

45. What problem might today's pilots encounter?
46. What does the speaker imply about helium balloons?

Questions 47 through so, Listen to part of a lecture in a geology class.

(man) I'm glad you brought up the question of our investigations into the makeup of the
Earth's interior. In fact - since this is the topic of your reading assignment for next
time - let me spend these last few minutes of class talking about it There were
several important discoveries in the early part of this century that helped
geologists develop a more accurate picture of the Earth's interior. The first key
discovery had to do with seismic waves - remember they are the vibrations caused
by earthquakes. Well, scientists found that they traveled thousands of miles
through the Earth's interior. This finding enabled geologists to study the inner
parts of the Earth. You see, these studies revealed that these vibrations were of
two types: compression - or P - waves and shear - or S - waves, Andre searchers
found that P waves travel through both liquids and solids, while S waves travel
only through solid matter. In 1906 a British geologist discovered that P waves
slowed down at a certain depth but kept traveling deeper. On the other hand, S
waves either disappeared or were reflected back, so he concluded that the depth
marked the boundary between a solid mantle and a liquid core. Three years later
another boundary was discovered - that between the mantle and the Earth's crust.
There's still a lot to be learned about the Earth. For instance, geologists know that
the core is hot. Evidence of this is the molten lava that flows out of volcanoes. But
we're still not sure what the source of the heat is.

47. What is the purpose of the talk?

48. What important discovery about seismic waves does the instructor mention?
49. What did the study of seismic vibrations help geologists learn more about?
50. What did P and S waves help scientists discover about the layers of the Earth?
