Section Three: Reading Comprehension

 

Question 1-9

           The canopy ,the upper level of the trees in the rain forest, holds a plethora of climbing

mammals of moderately large size, which may include monkeys, cats, civets, and

porcupines. Smaller species, including such rodents as mice and small squirrels ,are not

line    as prevalent overall in high tropical canopies as they are in most habitats globally.

(5)     Small mammals, being warm blooded, suffer hardship in the exposed and turbulent

environment of the uppermost trees. Because a small body has more surface area per unit

of weight than a large one of similar shape, it gains or loses heat more swiftly. Thus, in

the trees, where shelter from heat and cold may be scarce and conditions may fluctuate, a

small mammal may have trouble maintaining its body temperature.

(10)      Small size makes it easy to scramble among twigs and branches in the canopy for

insects, flowers, or fruit, but small mammals are surpassed, in the competition for food,

by large ones that have their own tactics for browsing among food-rich twigs. The weight

of a gibbon (a small ape) hanging below a branch arches the terminal leaves down so that

fruit-bearing foliage drops toward the gibbon’s face. Walking or leaping species of a 

(15)   similar or even larger size access the outer twigs either by snapping off and retrieving the

whole branch or by clutching stiff branches with the feet or tail and plucking food with

their hands.

    Small climbing animals may reach twigs readily, but it is harder for them than for large

climbing animals to cross the wide gaps from on tree crown to the next that typify the

(20)   high canopy. A macaque or gibbon can hurl itself farther than a mouse can: it can achieve

a running start, and it can more effectively use a branch as a springboard, even bouncing

on a climb several times before jumping. The forward movement of a small animal is

seriously reduced by the air friction against the relatively large surface area of its body.

Finally, for the many small mammals that supplement their insect diet with fruits or seeds

(25)   an inability to span open gaps between tree crowns may be problematic, since trees that

yield these foods can be sparse.

Question 10-19

          During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the

contributions of women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly

formed United States. Lacking the right to vote and absent from the seats of power, women

line   were not considered an important force in history. Anne Bradstreet wrote some significant

5)    poetry in the seventeenth century, Mercy Otis Warren produced the best contemporary

history of the American Revolution, and Abigail Adams penned important letters showing

she exercised great political influence over her husband, John, the second President of the

United States. But little or no notice was taken of these contributions. During these

Centuries, women remained invisible in history books.

10.    Throughout the nineteenth century, this lack of visibility continued, despite the efforts

of female authors writing about women. These writers, like most of their male counterparts,

were amateur historians. Their writings were celebratory in nature, and they were uncritical

in their selection and use of sources.

   During the nineteenth century, however, certain feminists showed a keen sense of

15. history by keeping records of activities in which women were engaged. National, regional,

and local women’s organizations compiled accounts of their doings. Personal

correspondence, newspaper clippings, and souvenirs were saved and stored. These sources

from the core of the two greatest collections of women’s history in the United States one at

the Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe College, and the other the Sophia

20. Smith Collection at Smith College. Such sources have provided valuable materials for later

Generations of historians.

           Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women during the nineteenth

Century, most of the writing about women conformed to the “great women” theory of

History, just as much of mainstream American history concentrated on “great men.” To

25. demonstrate that women were making significant contributions to American life, female

       authors singled out women leaders and wrote biographies, or else important women

       produced their autobiographies. Most of these leaders were involved in public life as

       reformers, activists working for women’s right to vote, or authors, and were not

       representative at all of the great of ordinary woman. The lives of ordinary people

30. continued, generally, to be untold in the American histories being published.

Question 20-29

The end of the nineteenth century and the early years of the twentieth century were

      Marked by the development of an international Art Nouveau style, characterized by sinuous

      Lines, floral and vegetable motifs, and soft evanescent coloration. The Art Nouveau style

Line   was an eclectic one, bringing together elements of Japanese art, motifs of ancient cultures,

(5)  and natural forms. The glass objects of this style were elegant in outline, although often

    deliberately distorted, with pale or iridescent surfaces. A favored device of the style was to

    imitate the iridescent surface seen on ancient glass that had been buried. Much of the Art

    Nouveau glass produced during the years of its greatest popularity had been generically

    Termed “art glass.” Art glass was intended for decorative purposes and relied for its effect

(10) pon carefully chosen color combinations and innovative techniques.

           France produced a number of outstanding exponents of the Art Nouveau style; among

      The most celebrated was Emile Galle (1846-1904). In the United States, Louis Comfort

      Tiffany (1843-1933) was the most noted exponent of this style, producing a great variety of

      Glass forms and surfaces, which were widely copied in their time and are highly prized

(15) today. Tiffany was a brilliant designer, successfully combining ancient Egyptian, Japanese,

    and Persian motifs.

  The Art Nouveau style was a major force in the decorative arts from 1895 until 1915,

Although its influence continued throughout the mid-1920’s. It was eventually to be

Overtaken by a new school of thought known as Functionalism that had been present since

(20)  the turn of the century. At first restricted to a small avant-garde group of architects and

designers, Functionalism emerged as the dominant influence upon designers after the First

World War. The basic tenet of the movement-that function should determine from-was

not a new concept. Soon a distinct aesthetic code evolved: from should be simple, surfaces

plain, and any ornament should be based on geometric relationships. This new design

(25)  concept, coupled with the sharp postwar reactions to the styles and conventions of the

preceding decades, created an entirely new public taste which caused Art Nouveau types of

glass to fall out of favor. The new taste demanded dramatic effects of contrast, stark outline

and complex textural surfaces.

 

 

21. What does paragraph 1 mainly discuss?

Question 30

During most of their lives, surge glaciers behave like normal glaciers, traveling perhaps

only a couple of inches per day. However, at intervals of 10 to 100 years, these glaciers

move forward up to 100 times faster than usual. The surge often progresses along a glacier

line     like a great wave, proceeding from one section to another. Subglacial streams of melt water

(5)      water pressure under the glacier might lift it off its bed, overcoming the friction between ice

and rock, thus freeing the glacier, which rapidly sliders downhill Surge glaciers also might

be influenced by the climate, volcanic heat, or earthquakes. However, many of these

glaciers exist in the same area as normal glaciers, often almost side by side.

(10)     Some 800 years ago, Alaska’s Hubbard Glacier advanced toward the sea, retreated, and

advanced again 500 years later. Since 1895, this secentry-mile-long river of ice has been

flowing steadily toward the Gulf of Alaska at a rate of approximately 200 feet per year. In

June 1986, however, the glacier surged ahead as much as 47 feet a day. Meanwhile, a

western tributary, called Valerie Glacier, advanced up to 112 feet a day. Hubbard’s surge

(15)     closed off Russell Fiord with a formidable ice dam, some 2,500 feet wide and up to 800

           feet high, whose caged waters threatened the town of Yakutat to the south.

   About 20 similar glaciers around the Gulf of Alaska are heading toward the sea. If

enough surge glaciers reach the ocean and raise sea levels, West Antarctic ice shelves could

rise off the seafloor and become adrift. A flood of ice would then surge into the Southern

(20)   Sea. With the continued rise in sea level, more ice would plunge into the ocean, causing sea

levels to rise even higher, which in turn would release more ice and set in motion a vicious

cycle. The additional sea ice floating toward the tropics would increase Earth’s albedo and

lower global temperatures, perhaps enough to initiate a new ice age. This situation appears

to have occurred at the end of the last warm interglacial (the time between glacations),

(25)    called the Sangamon, when sea ice cooled the ocean dramatically, spawning the beginning

of the Ice Age.

Question 40-50

    According to sociologists, there are several different ways in which a person may

become recognized as the leader of a social group in the United States. In the family,

traditional cultural patterns confer leadership on one or both of the parents. In other cases,

line  such as friendship groups, one or more persons may gradually emerge as leaders, although

(5)   there is no formal process of selection. In larger groups, leaders are usually chosen formally

through election or recruitment.

   Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ability, decades

of research have failed to produce consistent evidence that there is any category of “natural

leaders.” It seems that there is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common;

(10)  rather, virtually any person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that

meet the needs of that particular group.

   Furthermore, although it is commonly supposed that social groups have a single leader,

research suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by

different individuals. Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion

(15)  of tasks by a social group. Group members look to instrumental leaders to “get things”

done.” Expressive leadership, on the other hand, is leadership that emphasizes the

collective well-being of a social group’s member. Expressive leader are less concerned

with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional support to group

members and attempting to minimize tension and conflict among them. Group members

(20)  expect expressive leaders to maintain stable relationships within the group and provide

support to individual members.

   Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group

members. They give orders and may discipline group members who inhibit attainment of

the group’s goals. Expressive leaders cultivate a more personal or primary relationship to

(25)  others in the group. They offer sympathy when someone experiences difficulties or is

subjected to discipline, are quick to lighten a serious moment with humor ,and try to

resolve issues that threaten to divide the group. As the differences in these two roles

suggest, expressive leaders generally receive more personal affection from group members;

instrumental leaders, if they are successful in promoting group goals, may enjoy a mote

       distant respect.
