passage and answer the questions that follow (15 pts) In the early 1800’s, over 80 percent of the United States labor force was engaged in agriculture Sophisticated technology and machinery were virtually nonexistent People who lived in the cities and were not directly involved in trade often participated in small cottage industries making handcrafted goods Others cured meats, silversmiths, candle or otherwise produced needed goods and commodities Blacksmiths, silversmiths, candle makers, and other artisans worked in their homes or barns, relying on help of family Perhaps no single phenomenon brought more widespread and lasting change to the United States society than the rise of industrialization Industrial growth hinged on several economic factors First, industry requires an abundance of natural resources, especially coal, iron ore, water, petroleum, and timber-all readily available on the North Americancontinent Second, factories demand a large labor supply Between the 1870’s and the First World War (1914-1918), approximately 23 million immigrants streamed to the United States, settled in cities, and went to work in factories and mines They also helpedbuild the vast network of canals and railroads that crisscrossed the continent and linked important trade centers essential to industrial growth Factories also offered a reprieve from the backbreaking work and financial unpredictability associated with farming Many adults, poor and disillusioned with farm life, were lured to the cities by promises of steady employment, regular paychecks, increased access to goods and services, and expanded social opportunities Others were pushed there when new technologies made their labor cheap or expendable; inventions such as steel plows and mechanized harvesters allowed one farmhand to perform work that previously had required several, thus making farming capital-intensive rather than labor-intensive The United States economy underwent a massive transition and the nature of work was permanently altered Whereas cottage industries relied on a few highly skilled craft workers who slowly and carefully converted raw materials into finished products from start to finish, factories relied on specialization While factory work was less creative and more monotonous, it was also more efficient and allowed mass production of goods at less expense 1.What aspect of life in the United States does the passage mainly discuss? A The transition from an agricultural to an industrial economy B The inventions that transformed life in the nineteenth century C The problems associated with the earliest factories D The difficulty of farm life in the nineteenth century Page of 12 Blacksmiths, silversmiths, and candle makers are mentioned in the passage as examples of artisans who A maintained their businesses at home B were eventually able to use sophisticated technology C produced unusual goods and commodities D would employ only family members The phrase “hinged on” in the passage is closest in meaning to A recovered from B depended on C started on D contributed to Which of the following is mentioned in the passage as a reason for the industrial growth that occurred in the United States before 1914? A.The availability of natural resources found only in the United States B The decrease in number of farms resulting from technological advances C The replacement of canals and railroads by other forms of transportation D The availability of a large immigrant work force The word “lured” in the passage is closest in meaning to A attracted B assigned C restricted D attached The word “Others” in the passage refers to other A adults B promises C goods and services D.social opportunities The word “expendable” in the passage is closest in meaning to A nonproductive B unacceptable C nonessential D unprofitable It can be inferred from the passage that industrialization affected farming in that industrialization A increased the price of farm products B limited the need for new farm machinery C created new and interesting jobs on farms D reduced the number of people willing to farm work 9.What does the author mean when stating that certain inventions made farming “capitalintensive rather than labor-intensive” in the passage? A Workers had to be trained to operate the new machines B Mechanized farming required more capital and fewer laborers C The new inventions were not helpful for all farming activities D Human labor could still accomplish as much work as the first machines 10 According to the passage, factory workers differed from craft workers in that factory workers A were required to be more creative B worked extensively with raw materials C changed jobs frequently D specialized in one aspect of the finished product only Your answers: 10 Part Read the following passage and the tasks that follow (15 pts) AIR RAGE List of headings i A decline in the tolerance of passengers ii Disproportionate growth iii Pilots and aircrew cooperate iv Additional action v Smaller seats are the norm vi Laying the blame with the airlines vii Origins viii A major threat to travel ix Demands for change x Business people fly more Page of 12 xi New research pinpoints the causes xii The pace of life xiii Passenger at the root of the problems xiv Personal experience A. The first recorded case of an airline passenger turning seriously violent during a flight, a phenomenon now widely known as “air rage”, happened in 1947 on a flight from Havana to Miami A drunk man assaulted another passenger and bit a flight attendant However, the man escaped punishment because it was not then clear under whose legal control a crime committed on plane was, the country where the plane was registered or the country where the crime was committed In 1963, at the Tokyo convention, it was decided that the laws of the country where the plane is registered take precedence B. The frequency of air rage has expanded out of proportion to the growth of air travel Until recently few statistics were gathered about air rage, but those that have been indicate that passengers are increasingly likely to cause trouble or engage in violent acts For example, in 1998 there were 266 air rage incidents out of approximately four million passengers, a 400% increase from 1995 In the same period American Airlines showed a 200% rise Air travel is predicted to rise by 5% internationally by 2010 leading to increased airport congestion This, coupled with the flying public’s increased aggression, means that air rage may become a major issue in coming years C. Aside from discomfort and disruption, air rage poses some very real dangers to flying The most extreme of these is when out of control passengers enter the cockpit This has actually happened on a number of occasions, the worst of which have resulted in the death and injury of pilots or the intruder taking control of the plane, almost resulting in crashes In addition, berserk passengers sometimes attempt to open the emergency doors while in flight, putting the whole aircraft in danger These are extreme examples and cases of air rage more commonly result in physical assaults on fellow passengers and crew such as throwing objects, punching, stabbing or scalding with hot coffee D. The causes of air rage are not known for certain, but it is generally thought that factors include: passenger behavior and personality, the physical environment and changes in society A recent study has identified the issues that start the incidents to be as follows Alcohol 25% Seating 16% Smoking 10% Carry on luggage 9% Flight attendants 8% Food 5% E. One of the major causes seems to be the passenger’s behavior or their personality Fear of flying and the feeling of powerlessness associated with flying can lead to irritable or aggressive passengers Also, alcohol consumed on a plane pressurized to 8000ft affects the drinker more quickly and the effects are stronger Many people not take account of this and drinking may increase any negative reaction to the flying environment they have, which, combined with the lowering of their inhibitions, may cause air rage Smoking withdrawal, which some liken in severity to opiate withdrawal, is another major cause of air rage incidents Passengers caught smoking in the toilets occasionally assault flight attendants and have been known to start fires When conflicts occur in these conditions, they can escalate into major incidents if the passenger has a violent personality or a fear of flying and because of the enclosed nature of a plane offers no option of retreat as would be natural in a “fight or flight” reaction F. Some people feel that the physical environment of a plane can lead to air rage Seats on most airlines have become smaller in recent years as airlines try to increase profits This leads to uncomfortable and irritated passengers Also, space for carry on luggage is often very small Because up to 8% of checked in luggage is lost, misdirected or stolen, passengers have been trying to fit larger carry on items into these small storage areas and this can lead to disputes that can escalate into air rage Airlines could also be to blame by raising passengers’ expectations too Page of 12 high with their marketing and advertising Many air rage incidents start when disappointed passengers demand to be reseated Finally, there is some evidence to show that low oxygen levels can raise aggression level and make people feel more desperate Airlines have lowered oxygen levels to save money Now the level of oxygen in the air that the pilots breathe is ten times higher than in cabin class G. Another reason that has been suggested is that society is getting ruder and less patient The increased congestion at airports, longer queues and increased delays have only added to this In addition, some air rage incidents have been linked to the demanding nature of high achieving business people, who not like people telling them what to and resent the power that the cabin staff have over them For them, a flight attendant is a waiter or waitress who should what the passenger wants H. The strongest calls for action to control air rage have come from pilots and aircrew The International Transport Workers’ Federation argues that there are too many loopholes that let people escape punishment and that the penalties are too light They want to notify all passengers of the penalties for air rage before taking off, rather than after the passenger begins to cause serious problems, when it may be too late The Civil Aviation Organisation has been organizing international cooperation and penalties have increased in recent years The most severe punishment so far has been a 51 month jail sentence, a fine to pay for the jet fuel used and 200 hours community service for a man who attempted to enter the cockpit and to open the emergency door of a domestic US flight I. Various other measures are being used to control air rage Air crew are getting training on how to calm passengers and how to predict where incidents might result in air rage and take action to prevent this Other measures include, strengthening doors to stop people entering the cockpit, training crew in the use of plastic restraints to tie down unruly passengers and having pilots divert their planes if passengers cause problems Banning passengers who are guilty of air rage from flying has also been tried to a lesser extent Example: Paragraph A Answer: vii Paragraph B Paragraph C Paragraph D Paragraph E Paragraph F Paragraph G Mark them as follows T if the statement agrees with the information in the text. F if the statement does not agree with the information in the text NG _if there is no information on this in the text In the first case of air rage, the man was not punished because the plane was not registered The statistics on air rage were collected by private monitoring groups The second most common catalyst for incidents is problems with seating 10.The environment in a plane makes disagreements more likely to become serious problems Your answers: 10 D.WRITING (60 pts) Part 1: (5 pts) A.Finish each of the following sentences in such a way that it is as similar as possible in meaning to the sentence printed before it (2 pts.)
