Section Three: Reading Comprehension

Question 1-9

Composers today use a wider variety of sounds than ever before, including many

that were once considered undesirable noises. Composer Edgard Varese (1883-1965)

called thus the "liberation of sound...the right to make music with any and all sounds."

Line Electronic music, for example—made with the aid of computers, synthesizers, and

(5) electronic instruments—may include sounds that in the past would not have been

considered musical. Environmental sounds, such as thunder, and electronically generated

hisses and blips can be recorded, manipulated, and then incorporated into a musical

composition. But composers also draw novel sounds from voices and nonelectronic

instruments. Singers may be asked to scream, laugh, groan, sneeze, or to sing phonetic

(10) sounds rather than words. Wind and string players may lap or scrape their instruments.

A brass or woodwind player may hum while playing, to produce two pitches at once;a

pianist may reach inside the piano to pluck a string and then run a metal blade along it. In

the music of the Western world, the greatest expansion and experimentation have involved

percussion instruments, which outnumber strings and winds in many recent compositions.

(15) Traditional percussion instruments are struck with new types of beaters; and instruments

that used to be couriered unconvennonal in Western music—tom-toms, bongos,

slapsticks, maracas—are widelv used.

In the search for novel sounds, increased use has been made in Western music of

Microtones.Non-Western music typically divides and interval between two pitches more

(20) finely than Western music does, thereby producing a greter number of distinct tones,

or micro tones, within the same interval. Composers such as Krzysztof Pmderecki create

sound that borders on electronic noise through tone clusters—closely spaced tones played

together and heard as a mass, block, or band of sound. The directional aspect of sound has

taken on new importance as well Loudspeakers or groups of instruments may be placed

(25) at opposite ends of the stage, in the balcony, or at the back and sides of the auditorium.

Because standard music notation makes no provision for many of these innovations,

recent music scores may contain graphlike diagrams, new note shapes and symbols, and

novel ways of arranging notation on the page.

1. What does the passage mainly discuss?

(A) The use of nontraditional sounds in

contemporary music

(B) How sounds are produced

Questions 10-19

What unusual or unique biological train led to the remarkable diversification and

unchallenged success of the ants for ever 50 million years? The answer appears to be

that they were the first group of predatory ensocial insects that both lived and foraged

Line primarily in the soil and in rotting vegetation on the ground. Eusocial refers tc a form

(5) of insect society characterized by specialization of tasks and cooperative care of the

young; it is rare among insects. Richly organized colonies of the land made possible

by eusociality enjoy several key advantages over solitary individuals.

Under most circumstances groups of workers arc better able to forage for food and

defend the nest, because they can switch from individual to group response and back

(10) again swiftly and according to need. When a food object or nest intruder is too large for

one individual to handle, nestmates can be quickly assembled by alarm or recruitment

signals. Equally important is the fact that the execution of multiple-step tasks is

accomplished in a series-parallel sequence. That is, individual ants can specialize in

particular steps, moving from one object (such as a larva to be fed) to another (a second

(15) larva to be fed). They do not need to carry each task to completion from start to finish—.

for example, to check the larva first, then collect the food, then feed the larva. Hence, if

each link in the chain has many workers in attendance, a senes directed at any particular

object is less likely to fail. Moreover, ants specializing in particular labor categories

typically constitute a caste specialized by age or body form or both. There has bees some

(20) documentation of the superiority in performance and net energetic yield of various castes

for their modal tasks, although careful experimental studies are still relatively few.

What makes ants unusual in the company of eusocial insects is the fact that they are

the only eusocial predators (predators are animals that capture and feed on other animals)

occupying the soil and ground litter. The eusocial termites live in the same places as ants

and also have wingless workers, but they feed almost exclusively on dead vegetation.

l0. Which of the following questions does the

(A) How do individual ants adapt to

specialized tasks?

(B) What are the differences between social

and solitary insects?

(D) Why have ants been able to thrive for

such a long time?

11. The word "unique" in line 1 is closest in

15. The task of feeding larvae is mentioned in thepassage to demonstrate

(A) the advantages of specialization

(B) the type of food that larvae are fed

Questions 20-29

Glaciers are large masses of ice on land that show evidence of past or present

movement. They grow by the gradual transformation of snow into glacier ice.

A fresh snowfall is a fluffy mass of loosely packed snowflakes, small delicate ice

constals grown in the atmosphere. As the snow ages on the ground for weeks or months,

(5) the crystals shrink and become more compact, and the whole mass becomes squeezed

together into a more dense form, granular snow. As new snow falls and buries the older

snow, the layers of granular snow further compact to form firm, a much denser kind of

snow, usually a year or more old, which has little pore space. Further burial and slow

cementation—a process by which crystals become bound together in a mosaic of

(10) intergrown ice crystals—finally produce solid glacial ice. In this process of

recrystallization, the growth of new crystals at the expense of old ones, the percentage of

air is reduced from about 90 percent for snowflakes to less than 20 percent for glacier ice.

The whole process may take as little as a few years, but more likely ten or twenty years or

longer. The snow is usually many meters deep by the time the lower layers art convened

(15) into ice.

In cold glaciers those formed in the coldest regions of the Earth, the entire mass of ice

is at temperatures below the melting point and no free water exists. In temperate glaciers,

the ice is at the melting point at every pressure level within the glacier, and free water is

present as small drops or as larger accumulations in tunnels within or beneath the ice.

(20) Formation of a glacier is complete when ice has accumulated to a thickness (and thus

weight) sufficient to make it move slowly under pressure, in much the same way that solid

rock deep within the Earth can change shape without breaking. Once that point is reached,

the ice flows downhill, either as a tongue of ice filling a valley or as thick ice cap that

flows out in directions from the highest central area where the most snow accumulates.

The up down leads to the eventual melting of ice.

20. Which of the following does the passage

oceans

Questions 30-39

The lack of printing regulations and the unenforceabiliy of British copyright law

in the American colonies made it possible for colonial printers occasionally to act as

publishers. Although they rarely undertook major publishing project because it was

difficult to sell books as cheaply as they could be imported from Europe, printers in

(5) Philadelphia did publish work that required only small amounts of capital, paper, and

type. Broadsides could be published with minimal financial risk. Consisting of only one

sheet of paper and requiring small amounts of type, broadsides involved lower investments

of capital than longer works. Furthermore, the broadside format lent itselt to subjects of

high, if temporary, interest, enabling them to meet with ready sale. If the broadside printer

(10) miscalculated, however, and produced a sheet that did not sell, it was not likely to be a

major loss, and the printer would know this immediately, There would be no agonizing

wait with large amounts of capital tied up, books gathering dust on the shelves, and creditors

impatient for payment

In addition to broadsides, books and pamphlets, consisting mainly of political tracts,

(15) catechisms, primers, and chapbooks were relatively inexpensive to print and to buy.

Chapbook were pamphlet-sized books, usually containing popular tales, ballads, poems,

short plays, and jokes, small, both in formal and number of pages, they were generally

bound simply, in boards (a form of cardboard) or merely stitched in paper wrappers (a

sewn antecedent of modern-day paperbacks). Pamphlets and chapbooks did not require

(20) fine paper or a great deal of type to produce they could thus be printed in large, costeffective

editions and sold cheaply.

By far, the most appealing publishing investments were to be found in small books that

had proven to be steady sellers, providing a reasonably reliable source of income for the

publisher. They would not, by nature, be highly topical or political, as such publications

(25) would prove of fleeting interest. Almanacs, annual publications that contained information

on astronomy and weather patterns arranged according to the days, week, and months of

a given year, provided the perfect steady seller because their information pertained to the

locale in which they would be used

30. Which aspect of colonial printing does the

passage mainly discuss?

(A) Laws governing the printing industry.

(B) Competition among printers

(D) Advances in printing technology

31.According to the passage, why did colonial

printers avoid major publishing projects?

(A) Few colonial printers owned printing

machinery tha was large enough to handle

major projects.

(B) There was inadequate shipping available

in the colonies.

for a competitive price.

(D) Colonial printers did not have the skills

necessary to undertake large publishing

projects.

Questions 40-50

Industrialization came to the United State after 1790 as North American entrepreneurs

increased producuvity by reorganizing work and building factories. These innovations

in manufacturing boosted output and living standards to an unprecedented extent; the

average per capita wealth increased by nearly 1 percent per year—30 percent over

(5) the course of a generation. Goods that had once been luxury items became part of

everyday life.

The impressive gain in output stemmed primarily from the way in which workers made

goods, since the 1790's, North American entrepreneurs—even without technological

improvements—had broadened the scope of the outwork system that mace manufacturing

(10) more efficient by distributing materials to a succession of workers who each performed a

single step of the production process. For example, during the 1820's and 1830's the shoe

industry greatly expanded the scale and extend of me outwork system. Tens of thousands

of rural women, paid according to the amount they produced, fabricated the "uppers" of

shoes, which were bound to the soles by wage-earning journeymen shoemakers in dozens

(15) of massachusetts towns, whereas previously journeymen would have made the enure

shoe. This system of production made the employer a powerful "shoe boss" and eroded

workers' control over the pace and conditions of labor. However, it also dramatically

increased the output of shoes while cutting their price.

For tasks that were not suited to the outwork system, entrepreneurs created an even

(20) more important new organization, the modem factory, which used power-driven machines

and assembly-line techniques to turn out large quantities of well-made goods. As early

as 1782 the prolific Delaware inventor Oliver Evans had buiit a highly automated,

laborsaving flour mill driven by water power. His machinery lifted the grain to the top of

the mill, cleaned it as it fell into containers known as hoppers, ground the grain into flour,

(25) and then conveyed the flour back to the top of the mill to allow it to cool as it desended

into barrels. Subsequently, manufacturers made use of new improved stationary steam

engines to power their mills. This new technology enabled them to build factories in the

nation's largest cities, taking advantage of urban concentrations of inexpensive labor,

good transportation networks, and eager customers.
