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

The surface of the Earth, is the shore of the cosmic ocean. From it we have learned
most of what we know about space. Recently, we have waded a little out to sea, enough to
dampen our toes or, at most, wet our ankles. The water seems inviting. The ocean calls.
The dimensions of the cosmos are so large that using familiar units of distance, such as
meters or miles, chosen for their utility on Earth, would make little sense. Instead we
measure distance with the speed of light. In one second a beam of light travels 186.000
miles. nearly
100 kilometers, or seven times around the Earth. In eight minutes it will travel from the
Sun to the Earth. We can say the Sun is eight light-minutes away. In a year, it crosses nearly a
trillion kilometers, about six million miles, of intervening space. That unit of length, the
distance light goes in a year, is called a light-year. It measures not time but distances –
enormous distances.
The Earth is a place. It is by no means the only place. It is not even a typical place. No
planet or star or galaxy can be typical because most of the cosmos is empty. The only typical
thing is within the vast, cold universal vacuum, the everlasting night of intergalactic space; a
place so strange and desolate that by comparison, planets and stars and galaxies seem
achingly rare and lovely. If we were randomly inserted into the cosmos, the chance that we
would find ourselves on or near a planet would be less than one in a billion trillion trillion.
Worlds are mysterious.

Although great natural barriers hindered east-west development in Canada, this

circumstance was mitigated by the mighty river and lake systems that provided avenues for
the fur trader, missionary, soldier, and settler. Canada's rivers and lakes allowed and,
indeed, invited venturesome pioneers to explore the interior of the continent and in spite of
natural barriers, to tap its great wealth. The rivers and lakes were essential to the great fur
empire; people in canoes brought furs from the farthest extremity of the Canadian Shield to
Montreal for exportation to Europe. The first settlements spread along the rivers, since only
the rivers provided transportation and communication. Militarily, rivers and lakes were of
prime importance; whoever controlled the St. Lawrence and its entrance also controlled
Canada.

A. The barriers to east-west communication in Canada
B. The role of rivers and lakes in Canadian development'
C. The adventures of Canadian settlers

Stars have been significant features in the design of many United States coins and their
number has varied from one to forty-eight stars. Most of the coins issued from about 1799
to the early years of the twentieth century bore thirteen stars representing the thirteen
original colonies.
Curiously enough, the first American silver coins, issued in, 1794, had fifteen stars
because by that time Vermont and Kentucky had joined the Union. At that time it was
apparently the intention of mint officials to add a star for each new state. Following the
admission of Tennessee in 1796, for example, some varieties of half dimes, dimes, and half-
dollars were produced with sixteen stars.
As more states were admitted to the Union, however, it quickly became apparent that
this scheme would not prove practical and the coins from 1798 on were issued with only
thirteen stars – one for each of the original colonies. Due to an error at the mint, one variety
of the 1828 half cent was issued with only twelve stars. There is also a variety of the 1828
large cent with only 12 stars, but this is the result of a die break and is not a true error.

11. What is the main topic of the passage?

A. The teaching of astronomy in state universities
B. Stars on American coins
C. Colonial stamps and coins
D. The star as national symbol of the United States

12. The word "their" in line 1 refers to

A. silver coins with fifteen stars appeared before coins with thirteen
B. Vermont and Kentucky joined the Union in 1794
C. no silver coins were issue until 1794
D. Tennessee was the first state to use half dimes

15. Which of the following can be inferred about the order in which Kentucky, Tennessee, and
Vermont joined the Union?
A. Vermont and Kentucky joined at the same time.
B. Kentucky joined before Tennessee and Vermont.
C. Tennessee joined after Vermont and Kentucky.
D. Vermont joined after Tennessee and Kentucky.

Very often, the human eye and brain can recognize familiar configurations even if all or
a few significant data points are left out. It is this creative power of perception that may
someday allow profoundly deaf people to converse in sign language over a special
telephone. Researchers have found that thirteen spots of light on each hand and one spot
on the nose – to show head motion and provide a reference point for hand position – are
sufficient for intelligible rendering of American Sign Language. The bright spots are produced
by attaching pieces of reflective tape to the nose, fingertips, wrists, and backs of the second
knuckles and adjusting a closed-circuit television system so that only the bright spots appear
on the screen of the receiver. After a few minutes of familiarization, pairs of deaf people are
able to converse freely over television. Deaf people and other sign readers can, of course,
understand sign language and written subtitles on commercial television. But wide-read link-
ups of television systems to, personal communications are economically impossible because
a standard picture requires about one thousand times more information than a telephone
circuit can carry. The researchers think it likely that the simplified picture of twenty-seven
moving dots used in their experiments can be reduced to the capacity of a telephone line.

16. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage?
A. A New Application of Commercial Television
B. A Telephone for Deaf People
C. Capabilities of the Human Eyes and Brain
D. The Advantages of Sign Language

17. According to the passage, the person viewing the closed-circuit screen sees
A. bright dots
B. two hands and a face
C. the person using sign language
D. a written message
 A - 015

18. What cause the bright spots mentioned in line 8?

A. Special movable points
B. Special tape
C. Small light bulbs
D. Small mirror

19. According to the passage, how long would it take a person who knows sign language to
become accustomed to using the new device?
A. Less than an hour
B. Three to four hours
C. One day
D. Several weeks

20. It can be inferred from the passage that some television broadcasts already include which
of the following?
A. Advertising for the new product
B. Instruction in how to communicate in sign language
C. Programs subtitled for deaf people
D. Personal 'conversations with deaf people

Text 6

In spite of the wealth of examples of urban architecture in older cities, both in Europe
and in the United States solutions to current problems of the physical decay of cities in the
United States have come slowly. The first reaction after the war was to bulldoze and build
bright new towers and efficient roadways, but these solutions did not respond to people By
the close of the 1960's it became more common to deal gently with the' existing' urban
fabric and to insert new buildings in such a way as to complement the physical and social
environment; in other cases valued buildings have been rehabilitated and returned to
economic productivity. A particularly striking example is the rehabilitation of Ghirardelli
Square, San Francisco. This, hillside mélange of nineteenth-century commercial buildings9
clustered around a chocolate plant, was purchased in, 1962 by William Roth to, forestall
wholesale development of the waterfront as a district of high-rent apartment towers. Nearly
all of the nineteenth-century buildings were retained and refurbished, and a low arcade was
added on the waterside. There are several levels, dotted with kiosks and fountains, which
offer varied prospects of San Francisco Bay. Perhaps most telling is the preservation of the
huge Ghirardelli sign as an important landmark; it is such improbable, irrational, and
cherished idiosyncrasies which give cities identity and character.

21. The author's main purpose in the passage is to describe

A. the differences between urban architecture in Europe and in the United States
B. the most striking features of San Francisco's scenic waterfront district
C. nineteenth-century buildings in twentieth-century cities
D. characteristics of recent solutions to urban architectural problems in the United States
 A - 015

22. According to the passage, after the war many of the attempts of urban architects failed
because
A. buildings were not built quickly enough
B. new roads required too much space
C. the needs of the urban residents were overlooked
D. the towering buildings were too tall

23.The author discusses Ghirardelli Square in order to illustrate which of the following
procedures?
A. The construction of new buildings to conceal older structures
B. The selective removal of old buildings to create space for residential units
C. The 'restoration of old buildings to make them commercially useful
D. The demolition of apartment towers to make way for more attractive construction

24. According to the passage, the Ghirardelli sign was preserved because it
A. was designed and built by a famous artist

The sculptural legacy that the new United States inherited from its colonial predecessors
was far from a rich one, and in fact, in 1776 sculpture as an art form was still in the hands of
artisans and craftspeople. Stone carvers engraved their motifs of skulls and crossbones and
other religious icons of death into the gray slabs that we still see standing today in old burial
grounds. Some skilled craftspeople made intricately carved wooden ornamentations for
furniture or architectural decorations, while others caved wooden shop signs and ships'
figureheads. Although they often achieved expression and formal excellence in their
generally primitive style, they remained artisans skilled in the craft of carving and
constituted a group distinct from what we normally think of as "sculptors" in today's use of
the word.
On the rare occasion when a fine piece of sculpture was desired, Americans turned to
foreign sculptors, as in the 1770's when the cities of New York and Charleston, South
Carolina, commissioned the Englishman Joseph Wilton to make marble statues of William
Pitt. Wilton also made a lead equestrian image of King George III that was created in New
York in 1770 and torn down by zealous patriots six years later. A few marble memorials with
carved busts, urns, or other decorations were produced in England and brought to the
colonies to be set in the walls of churches-as in King's Chapel in Boston. But sculpture as a
high art, practiced by artists who knew both the artistic theory of their Renaissance-
 A - 015

Baroque-Rococo predecessors and the various technical procedures of modeling, casting,

and carving rich three-dimensional forms, was not known among Americans in 1776. Indeed,
for many years thereafter, the United States had two groups from which to choose - either
the local craftspeople or the imported talent of European sculptors.
The eighteenth century was not one in which powered sculptural conceptions were
developed. Add to this the timidity with which unschooled artisans - originally trained as
stonemasons, carpenters, or cabinetmakers - attacked the medium from which they
sculpture made in the United States in the late eighteenth century.

Birds that feed in flocks commonly retire together into roosts. The reasons for roosting
communally are not always obvious, but there are some likely benefits. In winter especially,
it is important for birds to keep warm at night and conserve precious food reserves. One way
to do this is to find a sheltered roost. Solitary roosters shelter in dense vegetation or enter a
cavity - horned larks dig holes in the ground and ptarmigan burrow into snow banks - but the
 A - 015

effect of sheltering is magnified by several birds huddling together in the roosts, as wrens,
swifts, brown creepers, bluebirds, and anis do. Body contact reduces the surface area
exposed to the cold air, so the birds keep each other warm. Two kinglets huddling together
were found to reduce their heat losses by a quarter and three together saved a third of their
heat.
The second possible benefit of communal roosts is that they act as "information
centers." During the day, parties of birds will have spread out to forage over a very large
area. When they return in the evening some will have fed well, but others may have found
little to eat. Some investigators have observed that when the birds set out again next
morning, those birds that did not feed well on the previous day appear to follow those that
did. The behavior of common and lesser kestrels may illustrate different feeding behaviors
of similar birds with different roosting habits. The common kestrel hunts vertebrate animals
in a small, familiar hunting ground, whereas the very similar lesser kestrel feeds on insects
over a large area. The common kestrel roosts and hunts alone, but the lesser kestrel roosts
and hunts in flocks, possibly so one bird can learn from others where to find insect swarms.
Finally, there is safety in numbers at communal roosts since there will always be a few
birds awake at any given moment to give the alarm. But this increased protection is partially
counteracted by the fact that mass roosts attract predators and are especially vulnerable if
they are on the ground. Even those in trees can be attacked by birds of prey. The birds on
the edge are at greatest risk since predators find it easier to catch small birds perching at the
margins of the roost.
