paragraph C The second paragraph argues against a point made in the first paragraph D The second paragraph introduces a problem not mentioned in the first paragraph Read the following passage and mark the correct answer to each of the questions As the twentieth century began, the importance of formal education in the United States increased The frontier had mostly disappeared and by 1910 most Americans lived in towns and cities Industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life combined with a new emphasis upon credentials and expertise to make schooling increasingly important for economic and social mobility Increasingly, too, schools were viewed as the most important means of integrating immigrants into American society The arrival of a great wave of southern and eastern European immigrants at the turn of the century coincided with and contributed to an enormous expansion of formal schooling By 1920 schooling to age fourteen or beyond was compulsory in most states, and the school year was greatly lengthened Kindergartens, vacation schools, extracurricular activities, and vocational education and counseling extended the influence of public schools over the lives of students, many of whom in the larger industrial cities were the children of immigrants Classes for adult immigrants were sponsored by public schools, corporations, unions, churches, settlement houses, and other agencies Reformers early in the twentieth century suggested that education programs should suit the needs of specific populations Immigrant women were once such population Schools tried to educate young women so they could occupy productive places in the urban industrial economy, and one place many educators considered appropriate for women was the home Although looking after the house and family was familiar to immigrant women, American education gave homemaking a new definition In preindustrial economies, homemaking had meant the production as well as the consumption of goods, and it commonly included income-producing activities both inside and outside the home, in the highly industrialized early-twentieth-century United States, however, overproduction rather than scarcity was becoming a problem Thus, the ideal American homemaker was viewed as a consumer rather than a producer Schools trained women to be consumer homemakers cooking, shopping, decorating, and caring for children "efficiently" in their own homes, or if economic necessity demanded, as employees in the homes of others Subsequent reforms have made these notions seem quite out-of-date 43: The paragraph preceding the passage probably discusses _ A the industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life the United States in the nineteen century B the formal schooling in the United

and mark the correct answer to each of the questions The Winterthur Museum is a collection and a house There are many museums devoted to the decorative arts and many house museums, but rarely in the United States is a great collection displayed in a great country house Passing through successive generations of a single family, Winterthur has been a private estate for more than a century Even after the extensive renovations made to it between 1929 and 1931, the house remained a family residence This fact is of importance to the atmosphere and effect of the museum The impression of a lived-in house is apparent to the visitor: the rooms look as if they were vacated only a short while ago whether by the original owners of the furniture or the most recent residents of the house can be a matter of personal interpretation Winterthur remains, then, a house in which a collection of furniture and architectural elements has been assembled Like an English country house, it is an organic structure; the house, as well as the collection and manner of displaying it to the visitor, has changed over the years The changes have coincided with developing concepts of the American arts, increased knowledge on the part of collectors and students, and a progression toward the achievement of a historical effect in period-room displays The rooms at Winterthur have followed this current, yet still retained the character of a private house The concept of a period room as a display technique has developed gradually over the years in an effort to present works of art in a context that would show them to greater effect and would give them more meaning for the viewer Comparable to the habitat group in a natural history museum, the period room represents the decorative arts in a lively and interesting manner and provides an opportunity to assemble objects related by style, date, or place of manufacture 36: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A The old furniture was replaced B The estate became a museum C The owners moved out D The house was repaired 39: What does the author mean by stating "the impression of a lived-in house is apparent to the visitor"? A Few people visit Winterthur B The furniture at Winterthur looks comfortable C Winterthur does not look like a typical museum D Winterthur is very old 40: The word "it" refers to _ A collection B English country house C visitor D Winterthur 41: According to the passage, objects in a period room are related by all of the following EXCEPT _ A place of manufacture B date C past ownership D style 42: What is the relationship between the two paragraphs in the passage? A Paragraph explains a philosophy of art appreciation that contrasts with that explained in Paragraph B Paragraph explains a term that was mentioned in Paragraph C Each paragraph describes a different historical period D Each paragraph describes a different approach to the display of objects in a museum Read the following passage and mark the correct answer to each of the questions Very few people, groups, or governments oppose globalization in its entirety Instead, critics of globalization believe aspects of the way globalization operates should be changed The debate over globalization is about what the best rules are for governing the global economy so that its advantages can grow while its problems can be solved On one side of this debate are those who stress the benefits of removing barriers to international trade and investment, allowing capital to be allocated more efficiently and giving consumers greater freedom of choice With free-market globalization, investment funds can move unimpeded from the rich countries to the developing countries Consumers can benefit from cheaper products because reduced taxes make goods produced at low cost from faraway places cheaper to buy Producers of goods gain by selling to a wider market More competition keeps sellers on their toes and allows ideas and new technology to spread and benefit others On the other side of the debate are critics who see neo-liberal policies as producing greater poverty, inequality, social conflict, cultural destruction, and environmental damage They say that the most developed nations – the United States, Germany, and Japan – succeeded not because of free trade but because of protectionism and subsidies They argue that the more recently successful economies of South Korea, Taiwan, and China all had strong state-led development strategies that did not follow neo-liberalism These critics think that government encouragement of “infant industries” – that is, industries that are just beginning to develop – enables a country to become internationally competitive Furthermore, those who criticize the Washington Consensus suggest that the inflow and outflow of money from speculative investors must be limited to prevent bubbles These bubbles are characterized by the rapid inflow of foreign funds that bid up domestic stock markets and property values When the economy cannot sustain such expectation, the bubbles burst as investors panic and pull their money out of the country Protests by what is called the anti-globalization movement are seldom directed against globalization itself but rather against abuses that harm the rights of workers and the environment The question raised by nongovernmental organizations and protesters at WTO and IMF gatherings is whether globalization will result in a rise of living standards or a race to the bottom as competition takes the form of lowering living standards and undermining environmental regulations One of the key problems of the 21 st century will be determining to what extent markets should be regulated to promote fair competition, honest dealing, and fair distribution of public goods on a global scale From “Globalization” by Tabb, William K., Microsoft ® Student 2009 [DVD] 43: It is stated in the passage that A the protests of globalization are directed against globalization itself B the United States, Germany, and Japan succeeded in helping infant industries C suppoters of globalization stress the benefits of removing trade barriers D critics of globalization say that the successful economies are all in Asia 44: Supporters of free-market globalization point out that A consumers can benefit from cheaper products B.there will be less competition among producers C taxes that are paid on goods will be increased D investment will be allocated only to rich countries 45: The word “allocated” in the passage mostly means “ _” A removed B solved C offered D distributed 46: The phrase “keeps sellers on their toes” in the passage mostly means “ _” A makes sellers responsive to any changes B allows sellers to stand on their own feet C forces sellers to go bare-footed D prevents sellers from selling new products 47: According to critics of globalization, several developed countries have become rich because of A their neo-liberal policies B their help to developing countries C their prevention of bubbles D their protectionism and subsidies 48: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A Critics believe the way globalization operates should be changed B The anti-globalization movement was set up to end globalization C Some Asian countries had strong state-led economic strategies D Hardly anyone disapproves of globalization in its entirety 49: The debate over globalization is about how _ A to use neo-liberal policies for the benefit of the rich countries C to spread ideas and strategies for globalization B to govern the global economy for the benefit of the community D to terminate globalization in its entirely 50: The author seems to be _ globalization that helps promote economy and raise living standards globally A supportive of B indifferent to C pessimistic about D opposed to *** the end *** ... new definition In preindustrial economies, homemaking had meant the production as well as the consumption of goods, and it commonly included income-producing activities both inside and outside... weather conditions in the desert severe B The weather conditions in the desert to be severe C Although the weather conditions in the desert are severe D Being severe weather conditions in the desert... scarcity was becoming a problem Thus, the ideal American homemaker was viewed as a consumer rather than a producer Schools trained women to be consumer homemakers cooking, shopping, decorating, and
