Part IV. Reading Comprehension Choose the best answer to each question based on the information which is stated or implied in the text. Text 1 As many as one thousand years ago in the Southwest, the Hopi and Zuni tribes of North America were building with adobe – sun-baked brick plastered with mud. Their homes looked remarkably like modern apartment houses. Some were four stories high and contained quarters for perhaps a thousand people along with storerooms for grain and other goods. These buildings were usually put up against cliffs, both to make construction easier and for defense against enemies. They were really villages in themselves as later Spanish explores must have realized since they called them "pueblos", which is Spanish for town. The people of the pueblos raised what are called "the three sisters"– corn, beans, and squash. They made excellent pottery and wove marvelous baskets, some so fine that they could hold water. The Southwest has always been a dry country, with water scarce. The Hopi and Zuin brought water from streams to their fields and gardens through irrigation ditches. Water was so important that it played a major role in their religion. They developed elaborate ceremonies and religious rituals to bring rain. The way of life of less settled groups was simpler and more strongly influenced by nature Small tribes such as the Shoshone and Ute wandered the dry and mountainous lands between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. They gathered seeds and hunted small animals such as rabbits and snakes; in the Far North the ancestors of the Inuit hunted seals, walruses, and the great whales. They lived right or the frozen seas in shelters called igloos built of blocks of packed snow. When summer came they fished for salmon and hunted the lordly caribou. The Cheyenne, Pawnee, and Sioux tribes, known as the Plains Indians, lived or the grasslands between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River. They hunted the bison, commonly called the buffalo, its meat was the chief food of these tribes, and its hide was used to make their clothing and the covering of their tents and tepees. 1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Building with Adobe B. One Thousand Years of Hunting C. The Hopi and Zuni Tribes D. Early North American Societies 2. It can be interred from the passage that the dwellings of the Hopi and Zuni were A. very small B. family advanced C. conveniently located D. extremely fragile 3. The author uses the phrase the three sisters in line 9 to refer to A. Hopi women B. family members C. important crops D. rain ceremonies 4. Which of the following animals was most important to the Plains Indians? A. The salmon B. The caribou C. The seal D. The buffalo



11



5. According to the passage, which of the following tribes lived in the grasslands? A. The Shoshone and Ute B. The Cheyenne and Sioux C. The Hop and Zuni D. The Pawnee and Inuit Text 2 The term 'virus is derived from the Latin word for poison, or slime. It was originally applied to the noxious stench emanating from swamps that was thought to cause a variety of diseases in the centuries before microbes were discovered and specifically linked to illness. But it was not until almost the end of the nineteenth century that a true virus was proven to be the cause of a disease. The nature of viruses made them impossible to detect for many years even after bacteria had been discovered and studied. Not only are viruses too small to be seen with a light microscope, they also cannot be detected through their biological activity, except as it occurs in conjunction with other organisms. In fact, viruses show no traces of biological activity by themselves. Unlike bacteria, they are not living agents in the strictest sense Viruses are very simple pieces of organic material composed only of nucleic acid, either DNA or RNA, enclosed in a coat of protein made up of simple structural units. (Some viruses also contain carbohydrates and lipids.) They are parasites, requiring human, animal, or plant cells to live. The virus replicates by attaching to a cell and injecting its nucleic acid.' once inside the cell, the DNA or RNA that contains the virus' genetic information takes over the cell's biological machinery, and the cell begins to manufacture viral proteins rather than its own. 6. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. New Developments in Viral Research B. Exploring the Causes of Disease C. DNA: Nature 5 Building Block D. understanding Viruses 7. Before microbes were discovered It was believed that some diseases were caused by A. germ-carrying insects B. certain strains of bacteria C. foul odors released from swamps D. slimy creatures living near swamps 8. The word "proven" in line 4 is closest meaning to which of the following. A. Shown B. Feared C. Imagined D. Considered 9. The word “nature" in line 6 is closest in meaning to which of the following? A. Self-sufficiency B. Shapes C. Characteristics D. Speed 10.The author implies that bacteria were investigated earlier than viruses because A. bacteria are easier to detect B. bacteria are harder to eradicate C. viruses are extremely poisonous D. viruses are found only in hot climates

Text 3 Dancer Martha Graham trained her body to move in different ways and in different contexts from any before attempted. "life today is nervous, sharp, and zigzag," she said. "It often stops in midair. That is what I aim for in my dances." She insists she never started out to be a rebel. It was only that the ernotions she had to express could not be projected through any of the traditional forms. This was in 1925. All forms of art were undergoing a revolution. The theories of psychology were being used to extend the boundaries of poetry, music, and painting. Martha Graham's debut dance concert in her new idiom occurred on April 18, 1926. Connoisseurs of dance, gathered at the Forty-eighth Street Theater in New York, witnessed Martha Graham's first foray into this new realm of dance. They saw, through such dance sequences as "Three Gobi Maidens." and "A Study in Lacquer, desires and conflicts expressed through bodily movements. These critics agreed that something entirely new, a departure from all previous forms, had been witnessed. In the early thirties, she founded the. Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance. Her classes were used as a laboratory for her stage works, and her stage works in turn were a means for attaching new pupils to her school-a sort of self-winding process, with herself as the key to the development. Martha Graham and the school she has founded are virtually synonymous with the modern dance. She had not only produced a technique of the dance, choreographed and taught it, but her disciples have gone out to fill the modern dance world. 11.What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Martha Graham' S development of modern dance B. The revolution of art forms in the 1920’s C. A dancer's view of life D. The Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance



12. It can be inferred from the passage that, in the beginning of her career, Martha Graham S mode of dance was A. readily accepted B. considered rebellious C. virtually ignored D. accepted only in New York 13. It can be inferred from the passage that Martha Graham’s style of dance differed from traditional dance in the A. type of movements B. speed of the performance C. variety of themes D. ages of the performers 14, in lines 16-17, the author uses the phrase "a sort of self-winding process" to illustrate A. the new steps Graham developed for dance B. the relationship between Graham’s performances and her school C. the discipline demanded in Graham’s school D. the physical endurance of Graham' 3 dancers 15. According to the passage, what is the present status of Martha Graham's work? A. It is historically interesting, but is no longer popular. B. It has evolved into something completely different.



13



C. It is carried on by her students. D. It causes heated debates



Text 4 If the salinity of ocean waters is analyzed, it is found to vary only slightly from place to place. Nevertheless, some of these small changes are important. There are three basic processes that cause a change in oceanic salinity. One of these is the subtraction of water from the ocean by means of evaporation-conversion' of liquid water to water vapor. In this manner, the salinity is increased, since the salts stay behind. If this is carried to the extreme, of course, white crystals of salt would be left behind; this, by the way, is how much of the table salt we use is actually obtained. The opposite of evaporation is precipitation, such as rain, by which water is added to the ocean. Here the ocean is being diluted so that the salinity is decreased. This may occur in areas of high rainfall or in coastal regions where rivers flow into the ocean. Thus salinity may be increased by the subtraction of water by evaporation, or decreased by the addition of fresh water by precipitation or runoff. Normally in tropical regions where the Sun is very strong, the ocean salinity is somewhat higher than it is in other parts of the world where there is not as much evaporation. Similarly, in coastal regions where rivers dilute the sea salinity is somewhat lower than in other oceanic areas. A third process by which salinity may be altered is associated with the formation and melting of sea ice. When seawater is frozen, the dissolved materials are left behind. In this manner, seawater directly beneath freshly formed sea ice has a higher salinity than it did before the ice appeared. Of course, when this ice melts, it will tend to decrease the salinity of the surrounding water. In the Weddell Sea, off Antarctica, the densest water in the oceans is formed as a result of this freezing process, which increases the salinity of cold water. This heavy water sinks and is found in the deeper portions of the oceans of the world. 16. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. The bodies of water of the world B. The elements of salt C. The many forms of ocean life D. The salinity of ocean water 17. According to the passage, the ocean generally has more salt in A. coastal areas B. tropical areas C. rainy areas D. turbulent areas 18. All of the following are processes that decrease salinity EXCEPT A. evaporation B. precipitation C. runoff D. melting 19. Which of the following statements about the salinity of a body of water can best be inferred from the passage? A. The temperature of the water is the most important factor. B. How quickly the water moves is directly related to the amount of alt. C. Ocean salinity has little effect on sea life. D. Various factors combine to cause variations in the salt content of water.

20. The word "it" in line 19 refers to which of the following? A. Sea ice B. Salinity C. Seawater D. Manner Text 5 Crows are probably the most frequently met and easily identifiable members of the native fauna of the United States. The great number of tales, legends, and myths about these birds indicates that people have been exceptionally interested in them for a long time. On the other hand, when it comes to substantive-particularly behavioralinformation, crows are less well known than many comparably common species and, for that matter, not a few quite uncommon ones: the endangered California condor to cite one obvious example. There are practical reasons for this. Crows are notoriously poor and aggravating subjects for field research. Keen observers and quick learners, they are astute about the intentions of other creatures, including researchers, and adapt at avoiding them. Because they are so numerous, active, and monochromatic, it is difficult to distinguish one crow from another. Bands, radio transmitters, or other identifying devices can be attached to them, but this of course requires catching live crows, who are among the wariest and most untrappable of birds. Technical difficulties aside, crow research is daunting because the ways of the birds are so complex and various. As preeminent generalists, members of this species ingeniously exploit a great range of habitats and resources, and they can quickly adjust to changes in their circumstances. Being so educable, individual birds have markedly different interests and inclinations, strategies and scams. For example, one pet crow learned how to let a dog out of its kennel by pulling the pin on the door. When the dog escaped, the bird went into the kennel and ate its food. 21. What is the main topic of the passage? A. The ways in which crows differ from other common birds B. The myths and legends about crows C. The characteristics that make crows difficult to study D. The existing methods for investigating crow behavior. 22. Which of the following statements is supported by the passage? A. Crows have relatively long lives B. Crows have been vision C. Crows are usually solitary D. Crows are very intelligent 23. According to the first paragraph, what evidence is there that crows have interested people for a long time? A. The large number of stories about crows B. The frequency with which crows are sighted C. The amount of research that has been conducted on crows D. The ease with which crows are identified 24. The word "comparably" in line 5 is closest in meaning to A. interestingly B. similarly C. otherwise D. sometimes

25. In line 6, the author mentions the endangered California condor as an example of a species that is A. smaller than the crow B. easily identifiable C. featured in legends D. very rare 26 A. B. C. D.



The word "them" in line 10 refers to crows subjects intentions researchers



27. According to the second paragraph, crows are poor subjects for field research for all of the following reasons EXCEPT: A. They can successfully avoid observers B. They are hard to distinguish from one another C. They can be quite aggressive D. They are difficult to catch 28. In the second paragraph, the author implies that using radio transmitters would allow a researcher who studies crow to A. follow flocks of crows over long distances B. identify individual crows C. record the times when crows are most active D. help crows that become sick or injured 29. According to the third paragraph, which of the following is true about crows? A. They seldom live in any one place for very long B. They thrive in a wide variety of environments. C. They have marked preferences for certain kinds of foods D. They use up the resources in one area before moving to another 30. In lines 19, the word "inclinations" is closest in meaning to A. tricks B. opportunities C. preferences D. experiences Text 6 Archaeology has long been an accepted tool for studying prehistoric cultures. Relatively recently the same techniques have been systematically applied to studies of the more immediate past. This has been called "historical archaeology," a term that is used in the United States to refer to any archaeological investigation into North American sites that postdate the arrival of Europeans. Back in the 1930's and 1940's, when building restoration was popular, historical archaeology was primarily a tool of architectural reconstruction. The role of archaeologists was to find the foundations of historic buildings and then take a back seat to architects. The mania for reconstruction had largely subsided by the 1950's and 1960's. Most people entering historical archaeology during this period came out of university anthropology departments, where they had studied prehistoric cultures. They were, by training, social scientists, not historians, and their work tended to reflect this bias. The questions they framed and the techniques they used were designed to help them understand, as scientists, how people behaved. But because they were treading on



16



historical ground for which there was often extensive written documentation and because their own knowledge of these periods was usually limited, their contributions to American history remained circumscribed. Their reports, highly technical and sometimes poorly written, went unread. More recently, professional archaeologists have taken over. These researchers have sought ot demonstrate that their work can be a valuable tool not only of science but also of history, providing fresh insights into the daily lives of ordinary people whose existences might not otherwise be so well documented. This newer emphasis on archaeology as social history has shown great promise, and indeed work done in this area has lead to a reinterpretation of the United States past. In Kingston, New York, for example, evidence has been uncovered that indicates that English goods were being smuggled into that city at a time when the Dutch supposedly controlled trading in the area. And in Sacramento an excavation at the size of a fashionable nineteenth-century hotel revealed that garbage had been stashed in the building's basement despite sanitation laws to the contrary. 31. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Why historical archaeology was first developed B. How the methods and purpose of historical archaeology have changed C. The contributions architects make to historical archaeology. D. The attitude of professional archaeologists toward historical archaeology 32. According to the first paragraph. What is a relatively new focus in archaeology? A. Investigating the rece past B. Studying prehistoric cultures C. Excavating ancient sites in what is now the United States. D. Comparing findings made in North America and in Europe 33. According to the passage, when had historical archaeologists been trained as anthropologists? A. Prior to the 1930's B. During the 1930's and 1940's C. During the 1950's and 1960's D. After the 1960's 34. The word "framed" in line 13 is closest in meaning to A. understood B. read C. avoided D. posed 35. In the third paragraph, the author implies that the techniques of history and the techniques of social science are A. equally useful in studying prehistoric cultures B. quite different from each other C. usually taught to students of archaeology D. both based on similar principles 36. The phrase "their contributions" in line 16 refers to the contributions of A. social scientists B. prehistoric cultures C. historians D. documentation and knowledge 37.
