Answer the questions on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passages and in any introductory material that may be provided. Line Is Questions 6-9 are based on the following passages. Passage 1 The online news and commentary forums known as blogs (aterm derived from “Web log") are not only more ‘open than traditional media but are also a better arena for ‘argument. Newspapers, magazines, and broadcast media involve one-way communication from the originator of the content to the readers or audience. To be sure, there are letters to the editor, but blogs are more fundamentally dialogic. Bloggers are engaged in continual debate with each other. Many blogs also have comments sections, allowing nonbloggers to join the conversation. The result is a much more freewheeling, egalitarian form of ‘communication than one finds in the traditional media. Passage 2 In terms of how they treat substantive ideas, blogs are not very different from newspapers: they present an idea and then move on, as quickly as possible, to the next idea, No one seems to be willing to chew over even a very Substantive blog entry for very long; instead, we want new ‘ones, Blogs remain great for presenting news: political, technological, artistic, whatever. But as vehicles for the development of ideas they are woefully deficient and will necessarily remain so until they become less bound by the ‘demands of urgency. Even on the best academic sites, what, happens more often than not is the conversion of really 200d scholars into really lousy journalists, 6. ‘The author of Passage 1 argues that blogs are “a better arena for argument” (lines 3-4) than are traditional ‘media because blogs (A) feature strictly original content (B) promote interaction between writers and readers (C) emphasize controversial topics (D) integrate other forms of media (E)_give authors more freedom in choosing writing projects 7. The author of Passage 1 would most likely respond to lines 13-15 in Passage 2 (“In terms ... idea”) by arguing that the author of Passage 2 has (A) overstated the similarity between blogs and newspapers (B) presented a distorted argument by not mentioning other forms of media (©) misunderstood the centrality of political news in blogs (D) understated the usefulness of blogs in breaking news stories (E) underestimated the capacity of newspapers to adapt to new technologies 8. Compared with the author of Passage 1, the author ‘of Passage 2 shows a greater concern about the (A) probability that a blog will present inaccurate information (B) dubious credentials of those who writ in blogs (C) need fora greater range of topics tobe covered in blogs (D) failure of blogs to explore ideas adequately (B) lack of attention that mainstream media pay to blogs 9. Which of the following characteristics of blogs is explored in Passage 1 but not in Passage 2 ?

The following passage was adapted from a book of essays published in 1995, Water gets into things. It soaks them, drenches them, Permeates them. No watch or coat is truly waterproof, ‘There is no legal definition of the word “waterproof,” because there is no such thing. Nothing resists water indefinitely. Even my cowboy hat, a brand featured in picture of a cowboy using the hat to water his horse, soaked through after four hours in a driving Pacific storm, ‘The same thing happens to rocks. Some are porous to start with; some contain minerals, like calcium ‘carbonate, that dissolve in water, creating channels. ‘Sometimes a mechanical shock starts the rock’s process of disintegration: a moving fault or a crashing wave produces ‘a microscopic fracture in the crystalline structure. A thin film of water insinuates itself into the crevice. From that ‘moment, soil becomes possible, and, with it, the life that soil supports. ‘Water behaves strangely when it gets into a microscopic crack. In that microscopic environment itis called ordered water. The key thing is that it does not freeze. The thin film of water in the crack starts to freeze, but it can't. When the temperature drops, the water molecules try to migrate, reordering themselves into ice crystals, but they are already it an ordered relationship with respect to the crystals of the rock walls. A tug-of-war ensues. The tension is enough to pall rock grains apart. Equivalent force, on a larger scale, might be a wind so strong that it rips the facades off skyscrapers or a pull sufficient to part a bridge cable, ‘As invisible as the process is to our eyes, nevertheless powerful. The results can be seen deep in the profiles of older soils, where the digger comes upon boulders of granite that crumble easily. They resemble the parent rock, but water has weathered them both inside and outside ‘When salt-impregnated water enters a crack, the salt ‘may gather more water around its strong attractive ions — ‘process called hydration—forcing the crack apart. If, however, the water evaporates, the salts may crystallize into a solid state again, gradually spitting the rock as the crystals grow. Furthermore, since salts expand more when heated than do most rocks, hot salt will open a breach further. ‘What does it mean, then, to be as solid as a rock? Better to consider the fragility of rock and its transformation into soil.

The following passage is from a novel, published in 2005, ‘about a British family. ‘The caravan’ entered our lives like fate. Although from the outside, it looked like a motor home. Tt appeared one morning in our driveway, an alien spaceship from a planet more exciting than our own. Inside, there was a miniature stove with an eye-level grill, and a fridge that was pretending to be a cupboard. Tiffany and | stood on the threshold and inhaled the slighty toxic smell cof new upholstery and expectation. I was eight years old and susceptible to the idea that technology could change your life, They said so in the TV ads have a photograph from that day. We're standing in the driveway, smiling, certain, shoulders locked in a single row. It reminds me of one of those Soviet posters from the thirties: the Family Monroe, brave pioneers of anew type cof holiday, proudly facing the future together. The sun is making me squint, and my mother must have blinked, ‘because her eyes are shut, but otherwise I'd say we look happy. ‘The caravan itself is blurred in the picture. A hazy beige ‘outline that befits its semimystica presence in our midst. ‘As a family, we'd never been that keen on the outdoors, ‘generally preferring indoor activities such as playing cards ‘of bickering. But we stood in thrall tothe brave new world itrepresented. We'd all read the accompanying brochure and knew the caravan allied the power of progress with the concept of free will: we would Travel in the Modern Way ‘and Go As We Pleased. Although we never did. We went Where our mother told us, which turned out to be Norfolk. ‘There she is now, breaking free from the line of the photo and walking back inside, She tip-taps her way back up the driveway, her hair-sprayed curls bouncing up and down, a small, contented smile playing atthe comers of hr lips. I've never been much good at divining what goes ‘on beyond the net curtains of her eyes, but my guess is that she is thinking about the new fitted kitchen that will one day be hers. can sense beige Formica units and a built-in ‘oven hovering just beyond the field of my perception. ‘Am I exaggerating the role ofthe caravan in our family history? Or embellishing it? I'm not sure. Alistair’s the ‘one who believes in fate although he calls it “genetic predisposition.” But then he has his reasons for this. 'm ‘more skeptical I'll admit. But then, as you'll see, [have ‘my reasons for this too. Tf wasn’t married to Alistair, I suspect that I'd tell this story differently, But I know what I know. He showed me a gene map once. It was like a temperature chart or ‘a rainfall map, with Europe portrayed as colored contours. It showed how populations have merged and blended, how you can track the passage of people across continents by the DNA left behind in the cells oftheir descendents. ‘That's you, Alistair sid, and me. We are a sum ofthe past. 3s © a Don't you mean we are the sum of our past? I said, No, he said, we're the sum of other people’s pasts. We're made up of other people's genes. We're the bits they leave behind. ‘And it’s true, Ihave my grandmother's skin (sallow) ‘and my mother's hair (mouse). But I can’t blame them for ‘what happened. I can’t blame anybody.

(8) It suggests, to Pepperberg at least, that Alex actually reasons with words. (9) Some animal intelligence researchers argue that Alex's abilities are merely the result of classical conditioning, a technique made famous by Ivan Pavlov, ‘ho used it to train dogs to salivate atthe sound of a bell (10) But their argument is unconvincing.

This passage is adapted from an essay by an African American writer who came of age in the 1950s. Since that time, he has been a poet, teacher, civil rights activist, and literary eric. Although I don’t recall any specific content of books from my early years as a reader, there was the more important emotional content those books represented —the knowledge that the segregated world I was forced to live in ‘was not the only reality. Somewhere beyond that world, somewhere my eyes could not then penetrate, were dreams and possibilities, and [knew this was true because the books I read ravenously, desperately, were voices from that world ‘The mystery and miracle of a book is found precisely in the fact that it sa solitary voice penetrating time and space ‘ni it goes beyond time and space to alight for a moment in that place within us that is also beyond time and space. ‘Let me explain [am an indiscriminate reader. By accepted ‘and respected literary standards, my taste in books can be cexccrable. I buy books in bus stations and drugstores as well asin respectable bookshops. I have read trashy novels with as much pleasure as [have derived from acknowledged literary masterpieces. Ihave no shame about this because I trust that something-in-me which knows what I need and directs me to it when my more conscious self is unaware that anything may be amiss. ‘When I was growing up in Nashville, Black people were not permitted in the main library—a situation I rectified at the ag of sixteen when I desegregated the library single- handedly. Before that, however, my primary access to ‘books was the bookmobile that came to my neighborhood every Friday evening. lis stock of books was not only limited in number but restricted in subject matte, consisting primarily of Westerns and mysteries discarded from the many White libraries in town. So, from fourteen to sixteen, Tread nothing but Western novels and Perry Mason mysteries. Crawling into bed at seven in the evening, sometimes read two a night.

But maybe, too, they understood on some fundamental level what Iwas doing, although atthe time I did not Segregation was a deathly spiritual violence, not simply in its many restrictions on where we could live, eat, and go to school. There was also the constant awareness of physical danger. What Ihave realized is that on those nights lay in bed reading Westerns and detective novels, | was attempting to neutralize and withstand the violence that was so much a part of my dailiness. In Westerns and ‘mysteries I found a kind of mirror in which one element Of my world was isolated and made less harmful to me 50 55 6 65 1am thankful that I had parents who, instead of imposing literary judgments on my reading, left me alone to do what Tneeded to do. ‘The book is a solitary voice singing through the vastness, heard by a solitary ear. Itis this that makes the book important. A book has the capacity to link our solitary souls like pearls on a string and bring us together into a shared and luminous humanity. ‘Many years ago, when [lived in New York City, 1 frequented the library near the comer of Twenty-third ‘Street and Seventh Avenue. I was intrigued by the elderly ‘women who came there, especially because all they seemed to read were mysteries and detective novels. I imagined these women returning to their homes, sitting down, and proceeding to read gory mysteries. It wasn't until I myself returned to reading mysteries some years later that I understood. Many mystery novels have older women as detectives —Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple being the most well known. There is no other literary genre in which older ‘women are treated with such dignity, respect, and love. This is the paradox: nothing is more solitary an act than reading a book, and yet nothing else invites us into the depths of the solitary where we are no longer alone.

Corporate research partnerships at universities ae used for everything: designing gear for athletics companies, developing more efficient fechnologies for energy prospectors, testing the consumer demand for new tclecommunications products, ee Dr. Bety Dong had the misfortune to be involved in one of the most egregious ofthese new assignments a the director ofa study sponsored by a British pharmaceutical company. The fate ofthat partnership does much to illuminate precisely how the mandate of universities as sites for publi-interest research is often squarely at odds ith the interests of corporat sponsorship. Dr. Dong’s study compared the effectiveness ofthe company's dug with generic competitor. The company hoped tha the research would prove tat its drug was better than the generic one— a claim tha, if legitimized by a study from a respected university inthe United States, would increase sales. Instead, De. Dong found thatthe opposite was true, but the company successfully halted publication of her findings, cting a clause i the partnership contract that save the company veto rights over the publication of findings. Her university, fearing a costly lawsuit, sided with the company. Only after the whole ordeal was exposed inthe media dd the company back of. "The Victim is obvious: the university" wrote one commentator “Each infringement on its unwriten contract with society to avoid secrecy whenever possible and maintain its independence from government or corporate pressure weakens its integrity.” ‘There is another kind of commercalization that takes place a universities daily.
