Questions 41-44
The Works Progress Administration (WPA), formed during the Great Depression as part of
Roosevelts New Deal, was created with the express intent of putting to work as many as
possible of the more than 10 million unemployed in the United States. One of the more
controversial programs of the WPA was the Federal Arts Project, a program to employ artist fulltime at such task as painting murals in libraries, theaters, train stations, and airports: teaching
various techniques of art; and preparing a comprehensive study of American crafts. Criticism of
the program centered on what was perceived as the frivolity of supporting the arts at a time
when millions were starving, industry was sagging, farms were barren, and all that could flourish
was bankruptcy courts and soup kitchens.

Questions 45 to 50
During the nineteenth century, women in the United States organized and participated in a large
number of reform movements, including movements to reorganize the prison system, improve
education, ban the sale of alcohol, and most importantly, to free the slaves. Some women saw
similarities in the social status of women and slaves. Women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and
Lucy Stone were feminists and abolitionists who supported the rights of both women and blacks.
A number of male abolitionists, including William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Philips, also
supported the rights of women to speak and participate equally with men in antislavery
activities. Probably more than any other movement, abolitionism ofered women a previously
denied entry into politics. They became involved primarily in order to better living conditions and
the conditions of other.
When the Civil War ended in 1865, the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the
Constitution adopted in 1868 and 1870 granted citizenship and sufrage to blacks but not to
women. Discouraged but resolved, feminists influenced more and more women to demand the
right to vote. In 1869, the Wyoming Territory had yielded to demands by feminists, but eastern
states resisted more stubbornly than before. A womens sufrage bill had been presented to
every Congress since 1878 but it continually failed to pass until 1920, when the Nineteenth
Amendment granted women the right to vote.

Questions 1-10 refer to the following passage.


The most familiar speleothems (from the Greek word spelaion for cave and thema for
deposit), the decorative dripstone features found in caves, are stalactites and stalagmites.
Stalactites hang downward from the ceiling of the cave and are formed as drop after drop of
water slowly trickles through cracks in the cave roof. Stalagmites grow upward from the floor
of the cave, generally as a result of water dripping from an overhead stalactite. A column
forms when a stalactite and a stalagmite grow until they join. A "curtain" or "drapery" begins
to form on an inclined ceiling when drops of water trickle along a slope.
Natural openings on the surface that lead to caves are called sinkholes, or swallow

holes. Streams sometimes disappear down these holes and flow through the cavern. Rivers
may flow from one mountain to another through a series of caves. Some caverns have
sinkholes in their floors. Water often builds up a rim of dripstone around the edge of the hole.
Dripping water often contains dissolved minerals as well as acid. These minerals too will be
deposited; and they may give rich coloring to the deposits. If minerals in the water change,
layers of different colors may be formed.1947

Questions 11-20 refer to the following passage
Horse owners who plan to breed one or more mares should have a working knowledge
of heredity and know how to care for breeding animals and foals. The number of mares bred
that actually conceive varies from about 40 to 85 percent, with the average running less than
50 percent. Some mares that do conceive fail to produce living foals. This means that, on
average, two mares are kept a whole year to produce one foal, and even then, some foals are
disappointments from the standpoint of quality.
By careful selection, breeders throughout history have developed various kinds of
horses with a wide variety of characteristics to suit many different needs. The Great Horse
of the Middle Ages, for example, was bred for size and strength to carry a heavily armored
knight. The massive horses of such breeds are often called "cold blooded." The Arabs bred
lithe desert horses that were small and swift. These animals are often referred to as "hot
blooded. " Cross-breeding of hot-blooded and cold-blooded horses for certain characteristics
produced breeds ranging from riding horses to draft horses.
The Thoroughbred is considered by many to be the highpoint of elegance and fine
selective breeding. Many persons mistakenly apply the name Thoroughbred to any purebred
horse. But a Thoroughbred is a distinct breed of running horses that traces its ancestry through
the male line directly back to three Eastern stallions: the Byerly Turk, the Darley Arabian,
and the Godolphin Barb.
For convenience the breeds of horses are often divided into three major groups: (1)
ponies, (2) heavy, or draft horses, and (3) light horses.
11. Which of the following is not an example of an Eastern stallion?
(A) Byerly Turk
(B) Darley Arabian
(C) Thoroughbred
(D) Godolphin Barb
12. Which of the following was NOT a characteristic of the Great Horse of the MiddleAges?
(A) Large size
(B) Swiftness
(C) Strength
(D) "Cold-bloodedness"
13. It can be inferred from the passage that cold-blooded and hot-blooded horses were cross-bred for what
reason?
(A) Such cross-breeding was a safer means of reproduction.
(B) Cross-bred horses were preferred by Arabs.
(C) By cross-breeding, horses with desirable mixed characteristics could be produced.
(D) Cross-breeding produced Thoroughbred horses.
14. In line 11, "lithe" most nearly means
(A) graceful.
(B) clumsy.
(C) massive.

(D) bulky.
15. Which of the following is NOT one of the major divisions of horse breeds?

16. According to the passage, which of the following horses is considered to be the finest purebred?

(D) 75

(A) male horse.
(B) baby horse.
(C) female horse.
(D) old horse.
Questions 21-30 refer to the following passage.
Animals that produce large amounts of offspring depend upon the sheer size of the
litter for the perpetuation of their species. The young mature very quickly and are not
educated, as the parents are usually involved with obtaining their own food and with
reproduction. Should some of the offspring become endangered, the parent will not interfere,
because it is not expected that all the young survive, which is the reason for a large litter.
One animal that produces large litters is the hamster. A female hamster is able to bear
young when she is six weeks to two months old. The gestation period is about 16 days.
Although an average litter size is from five to ten, hamsters commonly have as few as three
or as many as a dozen offspring at a time. Mothers will sometimes eat their own young,
particularly when the number of offspring is large. Females may produce litters up to an age
of about 15 months at monthly intervals. The blind, hairless young begin to grow fur in two
to three days. Their eyes open after about two weeks. After ten days they begin eating solid
food, though the mother will continue to nurse them for about two more weeks. In captivity,
a typical hamster may live for two to three years.

21. The gestation period for hamsters is about


(A) nine months.
(B) one month.
(C) 16 days.
(D) six weeks.
22. Female hamsters will sometimes eat their young for what reason?
(A) Hunger
(B) Because of a large number of offspring
(C) Deformed babies
(D) The young mature too quickly
23. Female hamsters may reproduce as young as
(A) six weeks old.
(B) six months old.
(C) 15 months old.

Questions 31-40 refer to the following passage.


Juan Ponce de Leon was the first Spaniard to touch the shores of the present United
States. As Columbus had not remotely realized the extent of his momentous discovery, so de
Leon never dreamed that his "island" of Florida was a peninsular extension of the vast North
American continent. After coming to the New World with Columbus in 1493, he had led the
occupation of Puerto Rico in 1508 and governed it from 1509 to 1512. In 1509, de Leon
started a colony at Caparra, later abandoned in favor of San Juan. He was one of the first
adelantadosmen who "advanced" the Spanish Empire by conquest, subjugation of the
Indians, and establishment of a semi-military government.
In Puerto Rico he heard a legend about an island called Bimini, where there was said
to be a spring that restored youth to all who bathed in it. It is said he was seeking this spring
when he discovered Florida.
He sailed from Puerto Rico in March 1513. On Easter Sunday he sighted the coast. A
few days later he landed on Florida's east coast, near what is now St. Augustine. He named
the place La Florida after the Spanish term for Easter SundayPascua florida, or "flowery
feast." He then sailed around the peninsula and up the west coast. He returned to Florida in

Questions 41 to 50 refer to the following passage:


Any list of the greatest thinkers in history contains the name of the brilliant physicist
Albert Einstein. His theories of relativity led to entirely new ways of thinking about time,
space, matter, energy, and gravity. Einstein's work led to such scientific advances as the
control of atomic energy, even television as a practical application of Einstein's work.
In 1902 Einstein became an examiner in the Swiss patent office at Bern. In 1905, at
age 26, he published the first of five major research papers. The first one provided a theory
explaining Brownian movement, the zig-zag motion of microscopic particles in suspension.
The second paper laid the foundation for the photon, or quantum, theory of light. In it he
proposed that light is composed of separate packets of energy, called quanta or photons, that
have some of the properties of particles and some of the properties of waves. A third paper
contained the "special theory of relativity" which showed that time and motion are relative
to the observer, if the speed of light is constant and the natural laws are the same everywhere
in the universe. The fourth paper was a mathematical addition to the special theory of
relativity. Here Einstein presented his famous formula, E = m(cc), known as the energy mass
equivalence. In 1916, Einstein publishedhis general theory of relativity. In it he proposed that
gravity is not a force, but a curve in the space-time continuum, created by the presence of
mass.
Einstein spoke out frequently against nationalism, the exalting of one nation above all
others. He opposed war and violence and supported Zionism, the movement to establish a
Jewish homeland in Palestine. When the Nazis came to power in 1933, they denounced his
ideas. He then moved to the United States. In 1939 Einstein learned that two German chemists
had split the uranium atom. Einstein wrote to President Franklin D. Roosevelt warning him
that this scientific knowledge could lead to Germany developing an atomic bomb. He
suggested the United States begin its own atomic bomb research.

Questions 51-60 refer to the following passage.


We believe the Earth is about 4.6 billion years old. At present we are forced to look
to other bodies in the solar system for hints as to what the early history of the Earth was like.
Studies of our moon, Mercury, Mars, and the large satellites of Jupiter and Saturn have
provided ample evidence that all these large celestial bodies were bombarded by smaller
objects in a wide variety of sizes shortly after the larger bodies had formed. This same
bombardment must have affected Earth as well. The lunar record indicates that the rate of
impacts decreased to its present low level about 4 billion years ago. On Earth, subsequent
erosion and crustal motions have obliterated the craters that must have formed during this
epoch.
Scientists estimate the Earth's age by measuring the ratios of various radioactive
elements in rocks. The oldest Earth rocks tested thus far are about 3 1/3 billion years old. But
no one knows whether these are the oldest rocks on Earth. Tests on rocks from the moon and
on meteorites show that these are about 4.6 billion years old. Scientists believe that this is the
true age of the solar system and probably the true age of the Earth

In my community its various organisms are linked in a complicated web of relationships.


There are usually in balance with one another. If the natural web is disturbed, the results my be
disastrous. As a rule, the various populations of organisms tend to adjust to seasonal and other
changes, and the whole community stays in balance. Most disturbances come from man's
activities.
In an undisturbed forest, white-tailed deer feed on plants of various kinds. Wolves and

mountain lions prey on the deer. When deer are numerous, their enemies become numerous
too, because them is so much to feed upon. The deer and their enemies stay in balance with
one
another.
Then man enters the scene. He looks on aninuls such as wolves and mountain lions as
harmful. He kills as many as possible. When the animals that feed on deer are killed, the deer
multiply, without check. Soon the large deer population has eaten nearly all the plants available
for
food.
Then
the
deer
begin
to
starve.
Another example of man's interference with natural communities is the use of chemical
insecticides. Grass in the sprayed areas my he eaten by cows. As a result, the milk of some
cows has been found to contain too much DDT. The insecticides are also collected in the tissues
of birds that eat the sprayed insects. Some of the afected birds lay eggs that do not hatch. The
number of birds therefore decreases, cutting down the food supply of other animals.
Whether intended or not, almost every change that man has made in natural webs of life
has turned out to be a disaster for the communities involved. Man, of course, is part of the
world's living community. Everything he does afects all the rest of it, just as my change in the
community or climate around him afects his own well-being. Thus, by changing natural
communities, man may harm himself.

Oil, like coal and natural gas, is a fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are made from the remains of
dead plants and animals. It is thought that oil comes from tiny plants and animals whore bodies
fell in their millions to the seabed when they died. There they were covered by sand and mud,
which later hardened into rocks. In the course of millions of years, the plants and artimal material
underwent chemical changes and eventually turned into oil.
Oil deposits lie hidden deep beneath the surface of the earth. They have to be searched
for. Unless the oil actually comes to the surface, it is impossible to be certain that any is present.
The rising demand for oil products keeps the oil companies busy exploring new oil fields,
and drilling new wells. Exploration teams are sent to distant regions to search for oil. If the
exploration shows good results the company decides to drill a well. Thus the exploration phase
ends, and the production phase begins.
Crude oil has to be transported to refinery to be made into the many products that are
useful to man, such as petrol, kerosene diesel oil, lubricants, asphalt. Further processing gives
aviation fuel, greases, fertilizers, insecticides, man-made fibres and many other things.
The oil industry has a very complex and widespread distribution system. Ocean tankers,
pipelines, rail tankers, and road tankers are used ro bring the oil products to seaport, inland
depots, can and drum factories, and to tens of thousands of petrol stations in cities and along
motorways.
More than any other, oil industry influences the lives of men and women everywhere.

stoves, there is daily need for large quantities of the various oil products.
