Section Three: Reading Comprehension

Questions 1-10

Perhaps the most obvious way artistic creation reflect how people live is by

mirroring the environment-the materials and technologies available to a culture.

Stone, wood, tree bark, clay, and sand are generally available materials. In addition,

depending on the locality, other resources may be accessible: shells, horns, gold,

(5) copper, and silver. The different uses to which societies put these materials are of

interest to anthropologists who may ask, for example, why a people chooses to use

clay and not copper when both items are available. Although there are no conclusive

answers yet, the way in which a society views its environment is sometimes apparent

in its choice and use of artistic materials. The use of certain metals, for example, may

(10) be reserved for ceremonial objects of special importance. Or the belief in the

supernatural powers of a stone or tree may cause a sculptor to be sensitive to that

material.

What is particularly meaningful to anthropologist is the realization that although

the materials available to a society may to some extent limit or influence what it can do

(15) artistically, the materials by no means determine what is done. Why does the artist in

Japanese society rake sand into patterns; and the artist in Roman society melt sand to

form glass? Moreover, even when the same material is used in the same way by

members of different societies, the form or style of the work varies enormously from

culture to culture. A society may simply choose to represent objects or phenomena that

(20) are important to its population. An examination of the art of the Middle Ages tells us

something about the medieval preoccupation with theological doctrine. In addition to

revealing the primary concerns of a society, the content of that society's art may also

reflect the culture's social stratification.

1. According to the passage, gold, copper, and silver are

(A) more difficult to handle than wood and

6. It can be inferred that the author mentions the Japanese and Roman societies because

(A) they influenced each other stone

(B) commonly used by artists in all societies

(D) available only in specific locations

2. The word "conclusive" in line 7 is closest in meaning to

(A) definitive

(D) distinct

4. Why does the author mention the "supernatural powers of a stone or tree" in line 11?

(A) To show that some sculptors avoid working with specific materials

(B) To emphasize the unusual properties of certain materials

(D) As an illustration of the impact of the environment on religious beliefs

5. The word "it" in line 14 refers to

(A) realization

(B) society

(D) influence

Questions 11-22

Fungi, of which there are over 100,000 species, including yeasts and other

single-celled organisms as well as the common molds and mushrooms, were

formerly classified as members of the plant kingdom. However, in reality they are

very different from plants and today they are placed in a separate group altogether.

(5) The principal reason for this is that none of them possesses chlorophyll, and since

they cannot synthesize their own carbohydrates, they obtain their supplies either

from the breakdown of dead organic matter or from other living organisms.

Furthermore the walls of fungal cells are not made of cellulose, as those of plants

are, but of another complex sugarlike polymer called chitin, the material from which

(10) the hard outer skeletons of shrimps, spiders, and insects are made. The difference

between the chemical composition of the cell walls of fungi and those of plants

is of enormous importance because it enables the tips of the growing hyphae, the

threadlike cells of the fungus, to secrete enzymes that break down the walls of plant

cells without having any effect on those of the fungus itself. It is these cellulose-

(15) destroying enzymes that enable fungi to attack anything made from wood, wood

pulp, cotton, flax, or other plant material.

The destructive power of fungi is impressive. They are a major cause of structural

damage to building timbers, a cause of disease in animals and humans, and one of

the greatest causes of agricultural losses. Entire crops can be wiped out by fungal

(20) attacks both before and after harvesting. Some fungi can grow at + 50OC, while

others can grow at -5C, so even food in cold storage may not be completely safe

from them. On the other hand, fungi bring about the decomposition of dead organic

matter, thus enriching the soil and returning carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. They

also enter into a number of mutually beneficial relationships with plants and other

(25) organisms. In addition, fungi are the source of many of the most potent antibiotics

used in clinical medicine, including penicillin.

11. What does paragraph 1 mainly discuss?

(A) Differences between simply and complex fungi

(B) Functions of chlorophyll in plants

(D) Differences between fungi and plants

12. Which of the following is mentioned as a major change in how scientists approach the study of fungi?

(A) Fungi are no longer classified as plants

(B) Some single-cell organisms are no longer classified as fungi.

(D) Theories about the chemical composition of fungi have been revised.

13. The word "principal" in line 5 is closest in meaning to

(A) true

(B) main

(D) obvious

14. According to the passage, how do fungi obtain carbohydrates?

(A) The absorb carbohydrates from their own cell walls.

(B) They synthesize chlorophyll to produce carbohydrates.

(D) They acquire carbohydrates from other organic matter, both living and dead.

15. The passage mentions shrimps, spiders, and insects in line 10 because their skeletons

(A) can be destroyed by fungi

(B) have unusual chemical compositions

(D) secrete the same enzymes as the walls of fungal cells do

(B) whole

(D) diseased

20. The passage describes the negative effects of fungi on all the following EXCEPT

(A) buildings

(B) animals

(D) soil

21. The phrase "bring about" in line 22 is closest in meaning to

Questions 23-33

The history of clinical nutrition, or the study of the relationship between health

and how the body takes in and utilizes food substances, can be divided into four

distinct eras: the first began in the nineteenth century and extended into the early

twentieth century when it was recognized for the first time that food contained

(5) constituents that were essential for human function and that different foods provided

different amounts of these essential agents. Near the end of this era, research studies

demonstrated that rapid weight loss was associated with nitrogen imbalance and

could only be rectified by providing adequate dietary protein associated with certain

foods.

(10) The second era was initiated in the early decades of the twentieth century and

might be called "the vitamin period." Vitamins came to be recognized in foods, and

deficiency syndromes were described. As vitamins became recognized as essential

food constituents necessary for health, it became tempting to suggest that every

disease and condition for which there had been no previous effective treatment might

(15) be responsive to vitamin therapy. At that point in time, medical schools started to

become more interested in having their curricula integrate nutritional concepts into

the basic sciences. Much of the focus of this education was on the recognition of

vitamin deficiency symptoms. Herein lay the beginning of what ultimately turned from

ignorance to denial of the value of nutritional therapies in medicine. Reckless

(20) claims were made for effects of vitamins that went far beyond what could actually

be achieved from the use of them.

In the third era of nutritional history in the early 1950's to mid-1960's, vitamin

therapy began to fall into disrepute. Concomitant with this, nutrition education in

medical schools also became less popular. It was just a decade before this that many

(25) drug companies had found their vitamin sales skyrocketing and were quick to supply

practicing physicians with generous samples of vitamins and literature extolling the

virtue of supplementation for a variety of health-related conditions. Expectations

as to the success of vitamins in disease control were exaggerated. As is known in

retrospect, vitamin and mineral therapies are much less effective when applied to

health-crisis conditions than when applied to long-term problems of under nutrition

that lead to chronic health problems.

23.What does the passage mainly discuss?

(A) The effects of vitamins on the human body

(B) The history of food preferences from the nineteenth century to the present

(D) Nutritional practices of the nineteenth century

24. It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following discoveries was made during the first era in the history of nutrition?

(A) Protein was recognized as an essential component of diet.

(B) Vitamins were synthesized from foods.

(D) Certain foods were found to be harmful to good health.

25. The word "tempting" in line 13 is closest in meaning to

(A) necessary

(B) attractive

(D) correct

26. It can be inferred from the passage that medical schools began to teach concepts of nutrition in order to

(A) convince medical doctors to participate in research studies on nutrition

(B) encourage medical doctors to apply concepts of nutrition in the treatment of disease

(D) support the creation of artificial vitamins

27. The word "Reckless" in line 19 is closest in meaning to

(A) recorded

(B) irresponsible

(D) urgent

28. The word 'them" in line 21 refers to

(A) therapies

(D) why nutrition education lost its appeal

Questions 34-43

The observation of the skies has played a special part in the lives and cultures of

peoples since the earliest of times. Evidence obtained from a site known as the Hole

in the Rock, in Papago Park in Phoenix, Arizona, indicates that it might have been

used as an observatory by a prehistoric people known as the Hohokam.

(5) The physical attributes of the site allow its use as a natural calendar/clock. The

"hole" at Hole in the Rock is formed by two large overhanging rocks coming

together at a point, creating a shelter with an opening large enough for several

persons to pass through. The northeast-facing overhang has a smaller opening in its

roof. It is this smaller hole that produces the attributes that may have been used as a

(10) calendar/clock.

Because of its location in the shelter's roof, a beam of sunlight can pass through

this second hole and cast a spot onto the shelter's wall and floor. This spot of light

travels from west to east as the sun moves across the sky. It also moves from north

to south and back again as the Earth travels around the Sun. the west-to-east

(15) movement could have been used to establish a daily clock, much like a sundial,

while the north-to-south movement could have been used to establish a seasonal

calendar.

The spot first appears and starts down the surface of the wall of the shelter at

different times of the morning depending on the time of the year. The spot grows in

(20) size from its first appearance until its maximum size is achieved roughly at midday.

It then continues its downward movement until it reaches a point where it jumps to

the floor of the shelter. As the Sun continues to move to the west, the spot continues

to move across the shelter floor and down the butte, or hill, toward a group of small

boulders. If a person is seated on a certain one of these rocks as the spot reaches it,

(25) the Sun can be viewed through the calendar hole. This occurs at different times in

the afternoon depending on the time of year.

Questions 44-50

By the turn of the century, the middle-class home in North American had been

transformed. "The flow of industry has passed and left idle the loom in the attic, the

soap kettle in the shed," Ellen Richards wrote in 1908. The urban middle class was

now able to buy a wide array of food products and clothing-baked goods, canned

(5) goods, suits, shirts, shoes, and dresses. Not only had household production waned,

but technological improvements were rapidly changing the rest of domestic work.

Middle-class homes had indoor running water and furnaces, run on oil, coal, or gas,

that produced hot water. Stoves were fueled by gas, and delivery services provided

ice for refrigerators. Electric power was available for lamps, sewing machines, irons,

(10) and even vacuum cleaners. No domestic task was unaffected. Commercial laundries,

for instance, had been doing the wash for urban families for decades; by the early

1900's the first electric washing machines were on the market.

One impact of the new household technology was to raw sharp dividing lines

between women of different classes and regions. Technological advances always

(15) affected the homes of the wealthy first, filtering downward into the urban middle

class. But women who lived on farms were not yet affected by household

improvements. Throughout the nineteenth century and well into the twentieth, rural

homes lacked running water and electric power. Farm women had to haul large

quantities of water into the house from wells or pumps for every purpose. Doing the

(20) family laundry, in large vats heated over stoves, continued to be a full day's work,

just as canning and preserving continued to be seasonal necessities. Heat was

provided by wood or coal stoves. In addition, rural women continued to produce

most of their families' clothing. The urban poor, similarly, reaped few benefits from

household improvements. Urban slums such as Chicago's nineteenth ward often had

(25) no sewers, garbage collection, or gas or electric lines; and tenements lacked both

running water and central heating. At the turn of the century, variations in the nature

of women's domestic work were probably more marked than at any time before.
