Section Three: Reading Comprehension

Question 1-10

After 1785, the production of children's books in the Untied States increased but

remained largely reprints of British books, often those published by John Newbery, the

first publisher to produce books aimed primarily at diverting a child audience. Ultimate]y,

Line however, it was not the cheerful, commercial-minded Newhery, but Anglo-Irish author

5 Maria Edgeworth who had the strongest influence on this period of American children's

literature. The eighteenth century had seen a gradual shift away from the spiritual intensity

of earlier American religious writings for children, toward a more generalized moralism.

Newbery notwithstanding, Americans still looked on children's books as vehicles for

instruction, not amusement, though they would accept a moderate amount of fictional

10 entertainment for the sake of more successful instruction. As the children's book market

expanded, then, what both public and publishers wanted was the kind of fiction Maria

Edgeworth wrote: stories interesting enough to attract children and morally instructive

enough to allay adult distrust of fiction,

American reaction against imported books for children set in after the War of 1812

15 with the British. A wave of nationalism permeated everything,and the self-conscious new

nation found foreign writings (particularly those from the British monarchy) unsuitable for

the children of a democratic republic, a slate of self-governing, equal citizens. Publishers

of children's books began to encourage American writers to write for American children.

When they responded, the pattern established by Maria Edgeworth was at hand, attractive

20 to most of them for both its rationalism and its high moral tone. Early in the 1820's,

stories of willful children learning to obey, of careless children learning to take care,

of selfish children learning to "tire for others," started to flow from American presses,

successfully achieving Edgeworth's tone, though rarely her lively style. Imitative as

they were, these early American stories wee quite distinguishable from their British

25 counterparts. Few servants appeared in them, and if class distinctions had by no means

disappeared, there was much democratic insistence on the worthiness of every level of

birth and work. The characters of children in this fiction were serious, conscientious.

self-reflective, and independent-testimony to the continuing influence of the earlier

American moralistic tradition in children's books.

Question 11-21

Lichens. probably the hardiest of all plants, live where virtually nothing else can---not

just on rugged mountain peaks but also on sunbaked desert rocks. They are usually the

first life to appear on a mountainside that has been scraped bare by an avalanche.

Line Unlike other members of the plant kingdom, lichens are actually a partnership between

5 two plants. The framework of a lichen is usually a network of minute hairlike fungus that

anchors the plant, The other component is an alga (similar to the green film of plant life

that grows on stagnant pools) that is distributed throughout the fungus. Being green plants,

algae are capable of photosynthesis--that is, using energy from the Sun to manufacture

their own food. The fungi arc believed to supply water, minerals, and physical support to

10 the partnership.

Lichens are famous for their ability to survive ~ water shortage. When water is scarce

(as is often the case on a mountain), lichens may become dormant and remain in that

condition for prolonged periods of time. Some lichens can even grow where there is no

rain at all, surviving on only occasional dew--the moisture that condenses on the surface

15 of the plants at night, And unlike most other plants, lichens are little affected by the strong

ultraviolet rays in the mountains.

Lichens use little energy, for they grow slowly. Some grow so slowly and are so old

that they are called "time stains." You may find lichens that are centuries old; certain of

these lichen colonies have been established for an estimated 2,000 years.

20 For decades, scientists wondered how the offspring of an alga and a fungus got together

to form a new lichen, it seemed unlikely that they would just happen lo encounter one

another. It was finally discovered that in many cases the two partners have never been

separated. Stalklike "buds" that form on certain lichens are broken off by the wind or by

animals; these toll or are blown to a new location

Question 22-31

The languages spoken by early Europeans are still shrouded in mystery. There is no

linguistic continuity between the languages of Old Europe (a term sometimes used for

Europe between 7000 and 3000 B.C.) and the languages of the modem world, and we

Line cannot yet translate the Old European script, Scholars have deciphered other ancient

5 languages, such as Sumerian, Akkadian, and Babylonian, which used the cuneiform

script, because of the fortuitous discovery of bilingual inscriptions, When cuneiform

tablets were first discovered in the eighteenth century, scholars could not decipher them.

Then inscriptions found in baa at the end of the eighteenth century provided a link: these

inscriptions were written in cuneiform and in two other ancient languages, Old Persian

10 and New Elamite--languages that had already been deciphered. It took several decades,

but scholars eventually translated the ancient cuneiform script via the more familiar

Old Persian language:

Similarly, the hieroglyphic writing of the Egyptians remained a mystery until French

troops unearthed the famous Rosetta stone in the late eighteenth century. The stone carried

15 the same message written in ancient Greek, Egyptian hieroglyphs, and Egyptian hieratic,

a simplified form of hieroglyphs. The Rosetta stone thwarted scholars' efforts for several

decades until the early nineteenth century when several key hieroglyphic phrases were

decoded using the Greek inscriptions. Unfortunately, we have no Old European Rosetta

stone to chart correspondences between Old European script and the languages that

20 replaced it.

Tim incursions of Indo-European tribes into Old Europe from the late fifth to the

early third millennia B.C. caused a linguistic and cultural discontinuity. These incursions

disrupted the Old European sedentary farming lifestyle that had existed for 3,000 years

As the Indo-Europeans encroached on Old Europe from the east, the continent underwent

25 upheavals. These severely affected the Balkans, where the Old European cultures

abundantly employed script. The Old European way of life deteriorated rapidly, although

pockets of Old European culture remained for several millennia, ~ new peoples spoke

completely different languages belonging to the Indo-European linguistic family. The

Old European language or languages, and the script used to write them, declined and

eventually vanished.

Questions 32-40

Next to its sheer size, the profound isolation of its many small islands is the most

distinctive feature of the Pacific Ocean. Over 25,000 islands are scattered across the

surface of the Pacific, more than in all the other oceans combined, but their land area

Line adds up to little more than 125,000 square kilometers, about the size of New York State,

5 and their inhabitants total less than two million people, about a quarter of the number that

live in New York City. The oceanic islands of the Pacific are some of the most isolated

places on Earth. Many are uninhabitable, by virtue of their small size and particular

characteristics, but even the most favored are very isolated fragments of land, strictly

circumscribed by the ocean, strictly limited in terms of the numbers of people they can

10 support. This basic fact of environmental circumstance has been the most pervasive

influence in determining the social arrangements, and cultural practices of the people that

settled in the Pacific Islands.

The peopling of the Pacific Islands has been described as the greatest feat of maritime

colonization in human history. Contrary to the conclusions of Thor Heyerdahl's Kon-Tiki

15 expedition of 1946, the evidence of plant dispersal, archaeology, linguistics, and genetics

now shows quite conclusively that the Pacific Islands were not populated from tile east by

South Americans who drifted on balsa-wood rafts and the prevailing wind and current, but

from the west, by groups from mainland Asia who gradually spread from island to island

out into the Pacific. The process began over 40,000 years ago and reached Easter Island

20 the most isolated place on Earth-about 1.500 years ago. It ended about 1,000 years ago,

when people first settled in Hawaii and New Zealand.

Simply surviving those ocean crossings of indeterminate length, in open canoes, to

arrive on the shores of uninhabited and hitherto unknown islands, was a formidable

achievement. But having found an oasis of land in a watery wilderness, crossed its reef,

25 and landed, on its shores, the survivors then faced a series of pressing problems for which

solutions had to be found quickly if the small group was to become a vigorous, self-

sustaining island population.

Questions 41-50

The atmosphere that originally surrounded Earth was probably much different from

the air we breathe today. Earth's first atmosphere (some 4.6 billion years ago) was most

likely hy~ogen and helium--.the two most abundant gasses found in the universe--as

Line well as hydrogen compounds, such as methane and ammonia, Most scientists feel that

5 this early atmosphere escaped into space from the Earth's hot surface.

A second, more dense atmosphere, however, gradually enveloped Earth as gasses

from molten rocks within its hot interior escaped through volcanoes and steam vents.

We assume that volcanoes spewed out the same gasses then as they do today: mostly

water vapor (about g0 percent), carbon dioxide (about ten percent), and up to a few

10 percent nitrogen. These same gasses probably created Earth's second atmosphere.

As millions of years passed, the constant outpouring of gasses from the hot

interior--known as outgassing--provided a rich supply of water vapor, which formed

into clouds. Rain fell upon Earth for many thousands or years, forming the rivers,

lakes, and oceans of the world. During this Lime, large amounts of carbon dioxide were

15 dissolved in the oceans. Through chemical and biological processes, much of the carbon

dioxide became locked up in carbon sedimentary rocks, such as limestone. With much

of the water vapor already condensed into water and the concentration of carbon dioxide

dwindling, the atmosphere gradually became rich nitrogen.

It appears that oxygen, the second most abundant gas in today's atmosphere, probably

20 began an extremely slow increase in concentration as energetic rays from the sun split

water vapor into hydrogen and oxygen during a process called photodissociation. The

hydrogen, being lighter, probably rose and escaped into space, while the oxygen remained

in the atmosphere.

This slow increase in oxygen may have provided enough of this gas for primitive

25 plants to evolve, perhaps two to three billion years ago. Or the plants may have evolved

in an almost oxygen-free (anaerobic) environment. At any rate, plant growth greatly

enriched our atmosphere with oxygen. The reason for this enrichment is that plants, in

the presence of sunlight, process carbon dioxide and water to produce oxygen.
