One of the most successful singers of the twentieth century. Ella Fitzgerald has made
several different styles her own. She was born in Virginia but was brought up in an
orphanage in Yonkers, New York. Chick Webb spotted her in an amateur competition when
she was sixteen. He engaged her to sing with his band, and when he died in 1939 she took
over.
Unlike Bessic Smith. Ella Fizgerald taught herself the sentimental music so popular in the
1930's-songs like "My Heart Belongs to Daddy"-and her recordings became best-sellers.
During the 1940's she developed her own "scat singing"-a breathless, nonsenses-syllable
style-for songs like "Flying Home" and "Lady Be Good."
Ella Fitzgerald was the perfect musical partner for her friend, the trumpeter Louis
Armstrong, matching him in warmth and artistry. "I just like music, period." she has said. "To

In the late sixteenth century the glass lathe was introduced, making it possible to grind
several lenses at once and also to produce-as objects of curiosity-powerful, thick concave
lenses.
Thin concave lenses had been used for more than a century, but thick concave lenses
were now sold to people caught up with painting or visual illusions of perspective, who used
them as "perspective glasses." Once the new lens became available, it suddenly became
possible to see a rather interesting effect by combining two lenses. We now know that there
are many different things that can be done with a pair of lenses. Both the Keplerian
telescope and the microscope use combinations of perfectly focused convex lenses. The
Galilean type of telescope began with the idea that as soon as you hold a powerful concave
lens to the eye and a simple weak convex lens at arm’s length, the clock in the church tower
jumps out at you. Many artisans from around the world enjoyed that illusion in the early
1600's, but it was two lens grinders from Middelburg in the Low Countries who first decided
to market the telescope as a military invention, a device for spying on enemy armies. In fact,
the telescope's narrow field of vision made it an unlikely spying device, but the two lens
grinders thought they could sell it anyway. When the telescope was used militarily centuries
later, it was used, not for spying, but for signaling.

6. Which of the following is the main topic of this passage?

A. Grass lathes
B. Innovative signaling equipment

The term "satellite city is used to describe the relationship between a large city and
neighboring smaller cities and towns that are economically dependent upon it. Satellite
cities may be collection and distribution points in the commercial linkages of a trading
metropolis, or they may be manufacturing or mining centers existing with one-industry
economics as the creatures of some nearby center. This latter form is what is generally
meant when one uses the term "satellite city." Taken in this sense, nineteenth-century
Chicopee and Lowell, Massachusetts, were satellites of Boston. Both were mill towns
created by Boston investors to serve the economy of that New England metropolis. Located
on cheap land along water-power sites in the midst of a farming region that could supply
ample labor, they were satellites in the fullest sense of the term. Pullman, Illinois, and Gary,
Indiana, were likewise one-industry towns created in conjunction with the much broader
economy of nearby Chicago. Such places, as Vera Schlakman and Stanley Buder have pointed
out in their excellent urban biographies, had a one-dimensional quality, a paucity of social
vigor. These cities could not stand alone; they were in a sense colonies of a multifunctional
mother city.

11. Which of the following is characteristic of a satellite city?

A. It is a self-sufficient community.
B. It offers cheap land to people.
C. It tends to concentrate on a single product.
D. It lies within a space station orbiting Earth.

12. According to the passage, Chicopee and Lowell were ideal locations for the development of
towns because they had
A. fully developed electric power plants
B. an adequate number of workers
C. farmland that would not be flooded

18 | P a g e
 D. extremely rich investors

13.The author describes each of the following as being economically dependent on another city
EXCEPT
A. Chicopee, Massachusetts
B. Lowell, Massachusetts
C. Pullman, Illinois
D. Chicago, Illinois

14. It can be inferred from the passage that Vera Schlakman and Stanley Buder are
A. authors
B. investors
C. social workers
D. factory workers

15. It can be inferred from the passage that Vera Sohlakman and Stanley Buder would describe
the economics of towns like Puliman and Gary as
A. diversified
B. dependent
C. vigorous
D. primitive

Three years of research at an abandoned coal mine in Argonne Illinois, have resulted in
findings that scientists believe can help reclaim thousands of mine disposal sites that scar
the coal-rich regions of the United States. In a pilot reclamation protect, they tested the
growth possibilities of eight species of plants in the old mine's huge pile of acidic and toxic
wastes. The researchers applied ground limestone, put a thin layer of topsoil on it, and
sowed the plant seeds on the refuse, consisting of waste coal, rock, clay, and mining debris.
Initially, the plots were dominated by invading annual weeds, but in the second and third
growing seasons desirable grasses and other plants became well-established The scientists'
findings are believed to be the first step toward restoring some 22, 500 acres of coal refuse
sites in Illinois and thousands of acres in other states.

When the persuading and the planning for the Western railroads had finally been
completed, the really challenging task remained: the dangerous, sweaty, backbreaking,
brawling business of actually building the lines. The men who took it on comprised the most
cosmopolitan work crew in American history. They included Civil War veteran and freed
slaves, Irish and German immigrants. Mormons and atheists. Shoshonis. Palutes, Washos,
and Chinese.
At the peak of their labors, the work crews laid two to five miles of track a day. The men
filled ravines, ran spidery trestles across rivers and valleys, and punched holes through
mountains. And they did all these jobs largely by their own muscle power. Flaicars carried
rails to within half a mile of the railhead; there the iron was loaded onto carts. An
eyewitness described the procedure: 'A light car, drawn by a single horse, gallops up to the
front with its load of rails. Two men seize the end of a rail and start forward, the rest of the
gang taking hold by twos until it is clear of the car. They come forward at a run. At the word
of command, the rail is dropped in its place, right side up Less than thirty seconds to a rail
for each gang, and so four rails go down to the minute.'

21. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage?
A. An Eyewitness Report

A. Two
B. Four
C. Five
D. Thirty

Just how salt became so crucial to our metabolism is a mystery; one appealing theory
traces our dependence on it to the chemistry of the late Cambrian seas. It was there, a half -
billion years ago, that tiny metazoan organisms first evolved systems for sequestering and
circulating fluids. The water of the early oceans might thus have become the chemical
prototype for the fluids of all animal life-the medium in which cellular operations could
continue no matter how the external environment changed. This speculation is based on the
fact that, even today, the blood serums of radically divergent species are remarkably similar.
Lizards, platypuses, sheep, and humans could hardly be more different in anatomy or eating
habits, yet the salt content in the fluid surrounding their blood cells is virtually identical.
As early marine species made their way to freshwater and eventually to dry land,
sodium remained a key ingredient of their interior, if not their exterior, milieu. The most
successful mammalian species would have been those that developed efficient hormonal
systems for maintaining the needed sodium concentrations. The human body, for example,
uses the hormones rennin, angiotensin, and aldosterone to retain or release tissue fluids and

21 | P a g e
 blood plasma. The result, under favorable conditions, is a dynamic equilibrium in which
neither fluid volume nor sodium concentration fluctuates too dramatically. But if the body is
deprived of salt, the effects soon become dangerous, despite compensatory mechanisms.

26. Which of the following best describes the main subject of the passage.
A. The effects of salt deprivation
B. Evolutionary changes involving salt
C. The salt needs of lizards and platypuses
D. Hormonal systems for adjusting salt 1evels

27.What did the paragraph preceding the passage most probably discuss?
A. Methods of mining salt
B. Ancient beliefs about the powers of salt

Text 7

Certainly no creature in the sea is odder than the common sea cucumber. All living
creature, especially human beings, have their peculiarities, but everything about the little
sea cucumber seems unusual. What else can be said about a bizarre animal that, among
other eccentricities, eats mud, feeds almost continuously day and night but can live without
eating for long periods, and can be poisonous but is considered supremely edible by
gourmets?

22 | P a g e
 For some fifty million years, despite all its eccentricities, the sea cucumber has subsisted
on its diet of mud. It is adaptable enough to live attached to rocks by its tube feet, under
rocks in shallow water, or on the surface of mud flats. Common in cool water on both
Atlantic and Pacific shores, it has the ability to suck up mud or sand and digest whatever
nutrients are present.
Sea cucumbers come in a variety of colors, ranging from black to reddish - brown to
sand - color and nearly white. One form even has vivid purple tentacles. Usually the
creatures are cucumber - shaped - hence their name - and because they are typically rock
inhabitants, this shape, combined with flexibility, enables them to squeeze into crevices
where they are safe from predators and ocean currents.
Although they have voracious appetites, eating day and night, sea cucumbers have the
capacity to become quiescent and live at a low metabolic rate - feeding sparingly or not at all
for long periods, so that the marine organisms that provide their food have a chance to
multiply. If it were not for this faculty, they would devour all the food available in s short
time and would probably starve themselves out of existence.
But the most spectacular thing about the sea cucumber is the way it defends itself. Its
major enemies are fish and crabs, when attacked, it squirts all its internal organs into the
water. It also casts off attached structures such as tentacles. The sea cucumber will
eviscerate and regenerate itself if it is attacked or even touched; it will do the same if
surrounding water temperature is too high or if the water becomes too polluted.

31. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. The reason for the sea cucumber's name
B. What makes the sea cucumber unusual
C. How to identify the sea cucumber
D. Places where the sea cucumber can be found

32 In line 3, the word "bizarre" is closest meaning to

A. odd
B. marine
C. simple
D. rare

33. According to the Passage, why is the shape of sea cucumbers important?
A. It helps them to digest their food
B. It helps them to protect themselves from danger.
C. It makes it easier for them to move through the mud.
D. It makes them attractive to fish.

34. The words "this faculty" in line20 refer to the sea cucumber's ability to
A. squeeze into crevices
B. devour all available food in a short time
C. suck up mud or sand
D. live at a low metabolic rate

35. The fourth paragraph of the passage Primarily discusses
