Shakespeare, the son of a provincial glove-maker, was taught the comedies of Terence and Plautus, and so could set himself to excel them. ________ had played a crucial part in this, by making Latin textbooks available and cheap enough for the aspiring scholar, just as it had ensured the wide dissemination of the theological arguments that brought schism to the Western church, and was currently fueling the scientific revolution with the drawings, diagrams, tables and figures that it needed.

(a) Computing

(b) Printing

(c) Copying

(d) Type-setting

3. When using scientific methods, scientists do not always find what they expect to find; their predictions are not always borne out. Their payoff in this situation is the discovery that the hypothesis on which the prediction was based needs to be modified. Sometimes, accidental discoveries of things not sought after result in an even greater payoff. This phenomenon is known as serendipity. Such discoveries are not mere accidents. _____________________________.

More than any other medium, television regulates commerce, lifestyles, and social values. _____________________. Throughout the decades, television has been blamed for nearly all our social ills ― the rise in crime, increased divorce rates, lower voter turnouts, racism, falling SAT scores, increased sexual promiscuity, dope addiction, and the collapse of the family.

5. The presence of a gun can contribute to the magnitude of the crime even on the part of those who worry about serving a long prison sentence. Many criminals carry guns not to rob stores but to protect themselves from other armed criminals. Gang violence has become more threatening to bystanders as gang members have begun to arm themselves. ________________________. Guns often convert spontaneous outbursts of anger into fatal encounters.

6. In an earlier era, when the human population and the quantities of waste generated were much smaller and when highly toxic forms of waste were uncommon, it was possible to believe that the world's absorption of our waste meant that ________________. Now, however, all that has changed. Suddenly, we are disconcerted ― even offended ― when the huge quantities of waste we thought we had thrown away suddenly demand our attention as landfills overflow, incinerators foul the air, and neighboring communities and states attempt to dump their overflow problems on us.

7. My plan to become a professor of English ― my ambition during long years in college at Stanford, then in graduate school at Columbia and Berkeley ― was complicated by feelings of embarrassment and guilt. So many times I would see other Mexican-Americans and know we were alike only in race. And yet, simply because our race was the same, I was, during the last years of my schooling, the beneficiary of their situation. Affirmative Action programs had made it all possible. __________________; the absence of many Mexican-Americans from academic life allowed my designation as a "minority student."

(a) The benefits were often too gaudy to please

(b) I tried to detach myself from disadvantaged Mexican-Americans

(c) I complied with and encouraged the odd bureaucratic logic of Affirmative Action

(d) The disadvantages of others permitted my promotion

(b) You don't necessarily sense the motion

(b) physical

(c) religious

(d) legal

10. Sigmund Freud's book The Interpretation of Dreams(1900) opened a whole new world of psychological investigation. Prior to Freud, most psychologists considered dreams a meaningless carryover of waking thoughts or the result of indigestion. Upon analyzing his own dreams, Freud felt that many represented wish fulfillment. Thus, a student who is angry at a teacher may dream of successfully embarrassing the teacher in class; a lonely person may dream of romance; or a hungry child may dream of food. Although Freud's view of dreaming is attractive, there is evedence against it. ________, volunteers in a study of the effects of prolonged starvation showed no particular increase in dreams about food and eating.

(a) As a result

(b) On the other hand

(c) However

(d) For example

11. There is no reliable way of measuring the quality or efficiency of any language. _________ here are one or two small ways in which English has a demonstrable edge over other languages.

This can cause immense social anxiety.

(a) Moreover

(b) Therefore

(c) Yet

(d) In contrast

12. A new millennium is dawning and with it the powerful feeling that a new era has begun. Where will we be working in this new era? How will we be traveling? What will be wearing? Here's what futurists predict.

Work. Futurists see a breakdown in the division between home and office. In the twenty-first century, more and more people will be telecommuting ― working at home with telephones, faxes, and computers. They'll be spending much less time in offices.

Transportation. You'll be driving the family car to the grocery store ― at least for a while. However, for middle-distance travel, high-speed mass transit like Japan's Bullet Train will probably replace individual cars.

Q. Which topic will follow the above passage?

(a) Job

(b) Clothes

(c) Food

(d) House

13. Need to jumpstart your senses? Set aside a weekend for a whirl through Jakarta. The only thing you need worry about is the traffic. Plan ahead to avoid the crush of taxi drivers awaiting your arrival at th International Airport; have your hotel send a car to meet you, or stop at the Blue Bird taxi counter in the arrivals terminal to arrange a dependable, English-speaking driver to take you to your hotel. If you're impressed, hire him for your stay, as Jakarta is a city you'll want to explore by car. Although downtown traffic jams are still a nuisance, taxis beat the city's frustrating public-transport system and sporadic sidewalks.

Q. What is the best title of the passage?

(a) Heavy Traffic in Jakarta

(b) Excellent Guide by Jakartan Taxi Drivers

(c) Fine Food and Fun in Jakarta

(d) Travel Guide to Jakarta

14. “Roseanne" the sitcom is a radical departure simply for featuring blue-collar Americans ― and for depicting them as something other than half-sitted greasers and low-life louts. The working class does not usually get much of a role in the American entertainment spectacle. In the seventies mumbling, muscular blue-collar males only enjoyed a brief modishness on the screen, while Archie Bunker, the consummate blue-collar bigot, raved away on the tube. Other than "Roseanne," I can find only one sitcom that deals consistently with the sub-yuppie condition: "Married ... with children," a relentlessly nasty portrayal of a shoe salesman and his cognitively disabled family members.

Q. "Roseanne" finds a place in the history of TV sitcom, because of which of the following?

(a) It portrays the working class as it is.

(b) It succeeds in relentlessly depicting both a blue-collar class and a professional or yuppie class.

(c) It shows class divisions within society.

(d) It is the first sitcom starring a woman.

15. Throughout our lives, death remains intensely private. The death of a loved one can be very painful, partly because of the sense of loss, but also because someone else's mortality reminds us all too vividly of our own. Thus did I notice more than a few people avert their eyes as they walked past the dusty-pink building that houses the Goodbody Mortuaries. But it wasn't at all what I had expected. I thought it would be more like forest Lawn, serene with lush green lawns and meticulously groomed gardens, a place set apart from the hustle of day-to-day life. Here instead was an odd pink structure set in the middle of a business district. On top of the Goodbody Mortuaries sign was a large electric clock. What the hell, I thought, mortuaries are concerned with time, too.

Q. What is the main idea of the passage?

(a) The Mortuaries was built in a way that destroys the author's idea of private death.

(b) The Mortuaries looked a bit like a church ― tall, with gothic arches and stained glass.

(c) We need to learn how to deal with death.

(d) Death is a subject, largely ignored by the living, that we do not discuss much.

16. Ounce for ounce, egg yolk has the highest level of cholesterol of all animal products. A single yolk contains 210 milligrams, about the same amount as in three hamburgers. The white of an egg contains no cholesterol and offers 3.5 grams of high-quality protein. Nutritionists recommend eating no more than three egg yolks a week, fewer if your cholesterol level is high. There is no limit on whites. In recipes, some or all of the yolks can be eliminated by using two egg whites for each whole egg called for.

Q. According to the passage, which of the following is true?

(a) Two hamburgers contain more cholesterol than a single egg yolk.

(b) You can eat as many egg yolks as you wish if your cholesterol level is not high.

(c) Most recipes recommend to use egg yolks instead of egg whites.

(d) To reduce your cholesterol, it would be better to eat the white than the yolk of an egg.

17. "The sutler who provides our company's provisions wants a whole dollar for a can of peaches," Ben wrote to his wife, "so I guess we enlisted men will have to be content with hardtack and jerky, though my mouth is watering for your peach cobbler."

Q. Which of the following can be inferred from Ben's letter?

(a) He is complaining about the taste of peaches.

(b) He thinks a dollar is reasonable for a can of peaches.

(c) He is in the military.

(d) His wife's peach cobbler reminds him of water.

18. Until recently, excercise for elderly people, particularly strength exercise, was prescribed almost exclusively with an abundance of caution and an emphasis on low intensity and decreased resistance. It turns out that this perception may actually have been causing more harm than good. Research studies over the last 10 years or so have consistently documented that as much as 50 percent of the decline associated with aging can be attributed to inactivity.

In everyday terms, a decline in physiological function is indicated by increasing difficulty in performing ordinary activities of daily living. As these activities ― such as getting in and out of a bathtub or low chair; lifting, holding or carrying groceries or grandchildren; climbing stairs and hills or even walking short distances ― gradually grow more difficult, older people tend to avoid them.

Q. What does the passage mainly discuss?

(a) Ordinary activities for the old

(b) Physiological malfunction in elderly people

(c) Strength training for the old

(d) Health problems associated with aging

19. We do not come into the world entirely without taste preferences. Infants grimace and turn away from substances that taste bitter, sour, sharp, peppery, or salty. This makes sense in terms of natural selection, since most poisonous or indigestible plants, animals, and animal products have telltale bitter, sour, sharp, peppery or salty tastes. But these innate avoidances are extremely weak relative to our predilection for omnivory. The forces of cultural selection therefore easily override the influence of innate aversions during the evolution of particular cuisines.

Q. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

(a) Men do not have any innate taste preferences.

(b) Inborn taste preferences remain affected by acquired tastes.

(c) Most edible plants and animals taste good.

(d) It is extremely difficult to deny our predilection for omnivory.

20. Political events are more epiphenomenal than politicians like to believe. Administrations, even governments, change, but the underlying changes are more important than the names of the ruling parties. Marx, better than any other man of his time, understood the underlying changes that were occurring in Europe in the middle of the nineteenth century. He was wrong about the political future. He was not wrong about the character of the world that was emerging.

Q. Which of the following is suitable for the title of the passage?

(a) The Insight of Karl Marx

(b) The Importance of Political Events

(c) The Fallibility of Politicians

(d) The Emerging Changes in the 19th Europe

21. Quotations are the very heart of the story: holding authority, nuances, information, local color, etc... and libel, misinformation, etc., all in one package. First, reporters always tamper with quotations by the selection method. Second, reporters influence possible quotations by the questions they ask... or don't ask. Third, subjects, especially higher public officials, are already speaking gobbledygook after the first election. So the purity of a quotation is questionable even before it reaches the copy editor who is wondering whether it was a run-on sentence or verbosity... So, like most things in life that are important, it boils down to an art, not a science.

Q. What is the author's position about misquotation?

(a) It is extremely deplorable.

(b) It is rather justifiable.

(c) It should be strictly prohibited.

(d) It is very harmful.

22. Every summer people like to enjoy the sun. Many go to the beach or to a pool to get a tan. Every summer many return home cringing from the pain of a sunburn. Not too long ago, tanning was fashionable and even promoted by doctors as a healthful activity. Today, however, there is evidence that regular exposure to ultraviolet rays of the sun during peak hours, especially if a sunburn is the result, can be harmful to one's health.

Q. Which of the following is the most appropriate topic of the above passage?

(a) Enjoying the sun in the summer

(b) The importance of tanning in the summer

(c) The danger of overexposure to ultraviolet rays

(d) Tanning as a healthful activity

23. It is all too common, I am afraid, that we accept proverbial expressions too lazily. When we are told that " a stitch in times saves nine" we take it for granted, and never dream of demanding proof of so exact a statement, or of inquiring whether any scientific test had ever been made of its accuracy. If such a test were made I should not be surprised to discover that the proverb maker was wildly off in his calculations.

Q. What is the tone of the passage?

(a) Critical

(b) Appreciative

(c) Regretful

(d) Persuasive

24. One element of the hunting trip ritual stands in my memory like gold. The way Uncle Bob woke me up in the mornings. I would have gone to bed early the night before, excited, knowing that the next day would bring on the dogs, the jeep, shotguns, woods, the hunt. But night had to pass first. I would fall asleep, and then in the dark of the early morning I would feel through the covers a hand around my foot. I would awaken, move, lean up onto my elbows, and in the darkness hear Uncle Bob say, "Time to go, boy." That hold on my foot ― gentle, patient, waiting for me to wake up ― is something I often think of now when I wake before light. It seemed important to him not to jar me awake ― to hold my foot as long as it took ― before bringing me the best news in my world: "Time to go, boy."

Q. What can we infer about the boy's feeling from the passage?

(a) Upset

(b) Nostalgic

(c) Distraught

(d) Distressed

25. The largest individual snake that has ever been found was an anaconda. It was thirty-seven feet long and weighed 360 pounds. This species of snake lives in the tropical forests of South America. It secures its food in a most unusual way. First, it wraps its body around its prey. Next, it crushes it to death. Then, as all snakes do, it swallows its victim whole.

Q. Which of the following is the common feature of all snakes?

(a) They live in the tropical forests.

(b) They are usually large.

(c) They crushes its prey to death.

(c) They swallow their prey whole.

26. ● Elevates child for visibility and contentment

● Open back design allows auto seat to protect child during rear impact

● Safely repositions auto shoulder belt away from child's neck

● Built-in steel frame helps absorb impact forces

● Can also be used as a booster seat for movies, dining, sports events, etc.

Q. What is the advertizement for?

(a) Children's apparel

(b) Car seat

(c) Shock-absorber

(d) Baby carrier

27. Works of visual art that have three dimensions, rather than being flat like a painting, are called sculptures. Their sizes vary greatly. They may be tiny carvings(called cameos) set into rings, or works as huge as the Statue of Liberty. Just about every civilization on earth ― Asian, African, European, American, Pacific Island, Indian, Eskimo ― has produced artistic Examples of Stone Age carvings of animals, dating back 20,000 years, have been found in French and Spanish caves. The ancient Greeks produced such beautiful life-size statues as that of the Venus de Milo. In the 1500s the Italian genius Michelangelo carved dramatic figures of David, Moses, and Jesus. Twentieth-century sculpture has experimented in new directions, often shaping metal and wire into forms that represent ideas rather than persons.

Q. Which is the main change in the 20th century?

(a) The sizes became bigger.

(b) The artists used metal and wire to represent abstract ideas.

(c) The artists pay attention to life-size statues.

(d) The artists used every available materials from wood to whale-bone.

28. The problem of unemployment is connected to various types of jobs in a very straightforward way. Less skilled laborers are unemployed the most. (a) These workers, the so-called blue-collar workers, are often employed seasonally or during those periods when demand is high. (b) When the season changes or demand drops, these workers often experience a period of time during which they are idle. (c) Likewise, some highly trained workers are protected from unemployment because their firms cannot operate at all if they do not work. (d) Some business continue to employ certain highly skilled workers even when the market does not fund their employment. This is because they fear they will be unable to find workers with such skills when competitive companies are also looking for them.

29. Since early motion pictures were "silent," narration depended almost entirely on the actions of the film actors. (a) If their actions were clear, the audience would not be able to comprehend the story. (b) For this reason, the actors greatly exaggerated their body movements, gestures, and facial expressions. (c) Costumes and sets also helped narrate. (d) A funny hat, a ragged dress, or a battlefield reflected the personality or circumstances of a screen character.

30. Most Americans are first introduced to junk food when they are young children. (a) Junk food is often named and packaged in a way that will attract a child's attention. (b) One hour of children's television programming contains as many as 20 commercials for highly sweetened and processed food products that attract young eaters. (c) Parents thereby learn to accept sugar, sweetness and chocolate as fundamental components of a normal diet. (d) If parents want to enforce dietary rules in their homes, they have to isolate their children from the influences of these advertisements.
