Section Three: Reading Comprehension

Questions 1-9

The term "Hudson River school" was applied to the foremost representatives of

nineteenth-century North American landscape painting. Apparently unknown during

the golden days of the American landscape movement, which began around 1850 and

lasted until the late 1860's, the Hudson River school seems to have emerged in the

(5) 1870's as a direct result of the struggle between the old and the new generations of

artists, each to assert its own style as the representative American art. The older

painters, most of whom were born before 1835, practiced in a mode often self-taught

and monopolized by landscape subject matter and were securely established in and

fostered by the reigning American art organization, the National Academy of Design.

(10) The younger painters returning home from training in Europe worked more with figural

subject matter and in a bold and impressionistic technique; their prospects for

patronage in their own country were uncertain, and they sought to attract it by attaining

academic recognition in New York. One of the results of the conflict between the two

factions was that what in previous years had been referred to as the "American",

(15) "native", or, occasionally, "New York" school-the most representative school of

American art in any genre-had by 1890 become firmly established in the minds of

critics and public alike as the Hudson River school.

The sobriquet was first applied around 1879. While it was not intended as flattering,

it was hardly inappropriate. The Academicians at whom it was aimed had worked and

(20) socialized in New York, the Hudson's port city, and had painted the river and its shores

with varying frequency. Most important, perhaps, was that they had all maintained with

a certain fidelity a manner of technique and composition consistent with those of

America's first popular landscape artist, Thomas Cole, who built a career painting the

Catskill Mountain scenery bordering the Hudson River. A possible implication in the

(25) term applied to the group of landscapists was that many of them had, like Cole, lived

on or near the banks of the Hudson. Further, the river had long served as the principal

route to other sketching grounds favored by the Academicians, particularly the

Adirondacks and the mountains of Vermont and New Hampshire.

1.What does the passage mainly discuss?

(A) The National Academy of Design

(B) Paintings that featured the Hudson River

(D) The training of American artists in European academies

2.Before 1870, what was considered the most representative kind of American painting?

(D) In New Hampshire

Questions 10-22

Television has transformed politics in the United States by changing the way in

which information is disseminated, by altering political campaigns, and by changing

citizen's patterns of response to politics. By giving citizens independent access to the

candidates, television diminished the role of the political party in the selection of the

(5) major party candidates. By centering politics on the person of the candidate, television

accelerated the citizen's focus on character rather than issues.

Television has altered the forms of political communication as well. The messages

on which most of us rely are briefer than they once were. The stump speech, a political

speech given by traveling politicians and lasting 3/2 to 2 hours, which characterized

(10) nineteenth-century political discourse, has given way to the 30-second advertisement

and the 10 second "sound bite" in broadcast news. Increasingly the audience for

speeches is not that standing in front of the politician but rather the viewing audience

who will hear and see a snippet of the speech on the news.

In these abbreviated forms, much of what constituted the traditional political

(15) discourse of earlier ages has been lost. In 15 or 30 seconds, a speaker cannot establish

the historical context that shaped the issue in question, cannot detail the probable

causes of the problem, and cannot examine alternative proposals to argue that one is

preferable to others. In snippets, politicians assert but do not argue.

Because television is an intimate medium, speaking through it require a changed

(20) political style that was more conversational, personal, and visual than that of the old-

style stump speech. Reliance on television means that increasingly our political world

contains memorable pictures rather than memorable words. Schools teach us to analyze

words and print. However, in a word in which politics is increasingly visual, informed

citizenship requires a new set of skills.

(25) Recognizing the power of television's pictures, politicians craft televisual, staged

events, called pseudo-event, designed to attract media coverage. Much of the political

activity we see on television news has been crafted by politicians, their speechwriters,

and their public relations advisers for televised consumption. Sound bites in news and

answers to questions in debates increasingly sound like advertisements.

10. What is the main point of the passage?

(A) Citizens in the United States are now more informed about political issues because of television coverage.

(B) Citizens in the United States prefer to see politicians on television instead of in person.

(D) Politics in the United States has been significantly changed by television.

11. The word "disseminated" in line 2 is closest in meaning to

(A) analyzed

(B) discussed

(D) stored

12. It can be inferred that before the introduction of television, political parties

(A) had more influence over the selection of political candidates

(B) spent more money to promote their political candidates

(D) received more money

13. The word "accelerated" in line 6 is closest in meaning to

(A) allowed

(B) increased

(D) started

14. The author mentions the "stump speech" in line 8 as an example of

(A) an event created by politicians to attract media attention

(B) an interactive discussion between two politicians

(D) a style of speech common to televised political events

15. The phrase "given way to" in line 10 is closest in meaning to

Questions 23-33

The spectacular aurora light displays that appear in Earth's atmosphere around the

north and south magnetic poles were once mysterious phenomena. Now, scientists have

data from satellites and ground-based observations from which we know that the

aurora brilliance is an immense electrical discharge similar to that occurring in a

(5) neon sign.

To understand the cause of auroras, first picture the Earth enclosed by its

magnetosphere, a huge region created by the Earth's magnetic field. Outside the

magnetosphere, blasting toward the earth is the solar wind, a swiftly moving plasma of

ionized gases with its own magnetic filed. Charged particles in this solar wind speed

(10) earthward along the solar wind's magnetic lines of force with a spiraling motion. The

Earth's magnetosphere is a barrier to the solar winds, and forces the charged particles of

the solar wind to flow around the magnetosphere itself. But in the polar regions, the

magnetic lines of force of the Earth and of the solar wind bunch together. Here many of the

solar wind's charged particles break through the magnetosphere and enter Earth's

(15) magnetic field. They then spiral back and forth between the Earth's magnetic poles

very rapidly. In the polar regions, electrons from the solar wind ionize and excite the

atoms and molecules of the upper atmosphere, causing them to emit aurora radiations

of visible light.

The colors of an aurora depend on the atoms emitting them. The dominant greenish

(20) white light comes from low energy excitation of oxygen atoms. During huge magnetic

storms oxygen atoms also undergo high energy excitation and emit a crimson light.

Excited nitrogen atoms contribute bands of color varying from blue to violet.

Viewed from outer space, auroras can be seen as dimly glowing belts wrapped

around each of the Earth's magnetic poles. Each aurora hangs like a curtain of light

(25) stretching over the polar regions and into the higher latitudes. When the solar flares

that result in magnetic storms and aurora activity are very intense, aurora displays

may extend as far as the southern regions of the United States.

Studies of auroras have given physicists new information about the behavior of

plasmas, which has helped to explain the nature of outer space and is being applied in

attempts to harness energy from the fusion of atoms.

23. What does the passage mainly discuss?

(A) The methods used to observe auroras from outer space

(B) The formation and appearance of auroras around the Earth's poles

(D) The periodic variation in the display of auroras

24. The word "phenomena" in line 2 is closest in meaning to

(A) ideas

(B) stars

(D) colors

25. The word "picture" in line 6 is closest in meaning to

(A) frame

(B) imagine

(D) explain

26. The passage describes the magnetosphere as a barrier (line 11) because

(A) its position makes it difficult to be observed from Earth

(B) it prevents particles from the solar wind from easily entering Earth's atmosphere

(D) it is strongest in the polar regions

27. The word "them" in line 17 refers to

(A) polar regions

(B) electrons

(D) aurora radiations

28. According to the passage, which color appears most frequently in an aurora display?

(A) Greenish-white

(B) Crimson

(D) Violet

29. The word "emit" in line 21 is closest in meaning to

(A) change from

(B) connect with

(D) give off

30. The word "glowing" in line 23 is closest in meaning to

(A) shining

(B) moving

(D) hanging

31. Auroras may be seen in the southern regions of the United Sates when

(A) magnetic storms do not affect Earth

(B) solar flares are very intense

(D) the excitation of atoms is low

32. The passage supports which of the following statements about scientists' understanding of auroras?

(A) Before advances in technology, including satellites, scientists knew little about auroras.

(B) New knowledge about the fusion of atoms allowed scientists to learn more about auroras.

(D) Until scientists learn more about plasma physics, little knowledge about auroras will be available.

33. Which of the following terms is defined in the passage?

(A) "magnetosphere" (line 7)

(B) "electrons" (line 16)

(D) "fusion" (line 30)

Questions 34-44

Matching the influx of foreign immigrants into the larger cities of the United States

during the late nineteenth century was a domestic migration, from town and farm to

city, within the United States. The country had been overwhelmingly rural at the

beginning of the century, with less than 5 percent of Americans living in large towns

(5) or cities. The proportion of urban population began to grow remarkably after 1840,

increasing from 11 percent that year to 28 percent by 1880 and to 46 percent by 1900.

A country with only 6 cities boasting a population of more than 8,000 in 1800 had

become one with 545 such cities in 1900. Of these, 26 had a population of more than

100,000 including 3 that held more than a million people. Much of the migration

(10) producing an urban society came from smaller towns within the United States, but the

combination of new immigrants and old American "settlers" on America's "urban

frontier" in the late nineteenth century proved extraordinary.

The growth of cities and the process of industrialization fed on each other. The

agricultural revolution stimulated many in the countryside to seek a new life in the city

(15) and made it possible for fewer farmers to feed the large concentrations of people

needed to provide a workforce for growing numbers of factories. Cities also provided

ready and convenient markets for the products of industry, and huge contracts in

transportation and construction-as well as the expanded market in consumer

goods-allowed continued growth of the urban sector of the overall economy of the

(20) Untied States.

Technological developments further stimulated the process of urbanization. One

example is the Bessemer converter (an industrial process for manufacturing steel),

which provided steel girders for the construction of skyscrapers. The refining of crude

oil into kerosene, and later the development of electric lighting as well as of the

(25) telephone, brought additional comforts to urban areas that were unavailable to rural

Americans and helped attract many of them from the farms into the cities. In every era

the lure of the city included a major psychological element for country people; the

bustle and social interaction of urban life seemed particularly intriguing to those raised

in rural isolation.

Questions 45-50

The nervous system of vertebrates is characterized by a hollow, dorsal nerve cord

that ends in the head region as an enlargement, the brain. Even in its most primitive

form this cord and its attached nerves are the result of evolutionary specialization,

and their further evolution from lower to higher vertebrate classes is a process that

(5) is far from fully understood. Nevertheless, the basic arrangements are similar in all

vertebrates, and the study of lower animals gives insight into the form and structure

of the nervous system of higher animals. Moreover, for any species, the study of the

embryological development of the nervous system is indispensable for an understanding

of adult morphology.

(10) In any vertebrate two chief parts of the nervous system may be distinguished. These

are the central nervous system (the nerve cord mentions above), consisting of the

brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system, consisting of the cranial,

spinal, and peripheral nerves, together with their motor and sensory endings. The term

"autonomic nervous system" refers to the parts of the central and peripheral systems

(15) that supply and regulate the activity of cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and many

glands.

The nervous system is composed of many millions of nerve and glial cells, together

with blood vessels and a small amount of connective tissue. The nerve cells, or

"neurons", are characterized by many processes and are specialized in that they exhibit

(20) to a great degree the phenomena of irritability and conductivity. The glial cells of the

central nervous system are supporting cells collectively termed "neuroglia". They are

characterized by short processes that have special relationships to neurons, blood

vessels, and connective tissue. The comparable cells in the peripheral nervous system

are termed "neurilemmal" cells.

45. What does the passage mainly discuss?

(A) The parts of a neuron

(B) The structure of animals' nerve

(A) connective tissue

(B) cardiac muscle

(D) smooth muscle

50. In what lines does the author identify certain characteristic of nerve cells?

(A) 1-2

(B) 10-13

(D) 18-20
