SECTION 2
READING COMPREHENSION
DIRECTIONS: In this section, you will read several passages. Each passage is followed by a
series of questions. For questions 1-20, you need to select the best answer, (A), (B), (C), or (D),
to each question. Answer all questions following a passage on the basis of what is stated or
implied in the passage.

QUESTIONS 1-5

Most people would say that the world tallest mountain is Mount Everest. This mountain in
the Himalayas is just over 29,000 feet high.

However, if mountains are measured a little bit differently then the tallest mountain on
Earth is Mauna Kea, in the Hawaiian Islands. Mauna Kea is only about 14,000 feet above sea level,
so in comparison to Mount Everest it just does not look anywhere near as high as Mount Everest to
Line
a person standing at sea level.
(5)
Mauna Kea, however, does not begin at seer level. It rises from an ocean floor that is more than
16,000 feet below the surface of the water. This mountain therefore measures more than 30,000 feet
from its base to its top, making it higher mountain than Mount Everest.

QUESTIONS 6 – 10

Coca-Cola was invented in 1886 by Atlanta pharmacist John S. Pemberton. The name for the
product was actually proposed by Pemberton’s assistant, Frank Robinson. The name was taken

cola nut.

The recipe for today’s Coca-Cola is very well guarded. Many of the ingredients are known; in
Line
addition to coca leaves and cola nut, they include lemon, orange, lime, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla,

QUESTIONS 11 – 13

Another noteworthy trend in twentieth-century music in the U.S. was the use of folk and
popular music as a base for more serious compositions. The motivation for these borrowings from
traditional music might be a desire on the part of a composer to return to simpler forms, to enhance
patriotic feelings, or to establish an immediate rapport with an audience. For whatever reason,
composers such as Charles Ives and Aaron Copland offered compositions featuring novel musical
Line form flavored with refrains from traditional Americana. Ives employed the whole gamut of patriotic
songs, hymns, jazz, and popular songs in his compositions, while Copland drew upon folk music,
(5) particularly as sources for the music he wrote for the ballets Billy the Kid, Rodeo, and Appalachian
Spring.

11. The paragraph preceding this passage most 12. Where in the passage does the author list

QUESTIONS 14 – 16

For a century before the Eric Canal was built, there was much discussion among the general
population of the Northeast as to the need for connecting the waterways of the Great Lakes with the
Atlantic Ocean. A project of such monumental proportions was not going to be undertaken and
completed without a supreme amount of effort.

The man who was instrumental in accomplishing the feat that was the Erie Canal was
Line
DeWitt Clinton. As early as 1812, he was in the nation’s capital petitioning the federal government
(5) for financial assistance on the project, emphasizing what a boon to the economy of the country the
canal would be; his efforts with the federal government, however, were not successful.

In 1816, Clinton asked the New York State Legislature for the funding for the canal, and this
time he did succeed. A canal commission was instituted, and Clinton himself was made head of it.
One year later, Clinton was elected governor of the state, and soon after, construction of the canal
was started.

The canal took eight years to complete, and Clinton was on the first barge to travel the
(10) length of the canal, the Seneca Chief, which departed from Buffalo on October 26, 1825, and
arrived in New York City on November 4. Because of the success of the Erie Canal, numerous
other canals were built in other parts of the country.

QUESTIONS 17 – 20

The Celtic languages are a group of languages of northern Europe that are descendants of
the Indo-European family of languages. These languages developed from the language of the Celts,
a warlike civilization originating in the eastern part of central Europe, in the northern Alps, and
along the Danube during the Bronze Age. The Celts reached the height of their civilization during
the Iron Age, the last five centuries B.C., and then fanned out from their original homeland into
Line many parts of continental Europe and across the channel and into the British Isles. Celtic languages
were spoken in much of western Europe during Pre-Roman and Roman times. Place names of
(5) Celtic origin can be found today all over the British Isles and France, in northern Spain and Italy,
and in Switzerland and parts of Germany.

Rather than one language, the Celtic languages consist of two distinct clusters; the Gaelic
group and the Brythonic group. These two clusters of languages most likely developed from
dialects of the same language, the language of the Celts in their original homeland. These two
dialects were most likely mutually intelligible to some degree as late as the fourth century. The
Gaelic group of Celtic languages consists of Irish, Scottish, and Manx, the language of the Isle of
Man. The Brythonic group of Celtic languages includes Welsh, Cornish, Breton, and Gaulish, the
(10)
language of Gaul prior to the days of the Roman Empire, with its Latin-speaking population.

Many, though not all, of the Celtic languages are either extinct or are in the process of
becoming extinct. Gaulish apparently disappeared around 600 A.D. Cornish and Manx both
actually became extinct, the former in the nineteenth century and the latter just a few decades ago,
but both are being revived and are now taught in a few schools each. Scottish, Irish, and Breton are
all declining in use. There are under a hundred thousand speakers of Scottish Gaelic, mostly on the
northern Hebridean Islands; there are more than a hundred thousand speakers of Irish, mainly in the
(15) western counties of Ireland; there are about a half million speakers who use Breton on a daily basis.
In all these situations, though, the rate of transmission to new generations is low, and this does not
bode well for the survival of these languages. Of all the Celtic languages, perhaps only Welsh has a
strong hold on the future.
