The National Automobile Show in New York has been one of the top auto shows in the United States since 1900 On November 3 of that year, about 8,000 people looked over the “horseless carriages.” It was the opening day and the first opportunity for the automobile industry to show off its wares to a large crowd; however, the black-tie audience treated the occasion more as a social affair than as a sales extravaganza It was also on the first day of this show that William McKinley became the first U.S president to ride in a car

The automobile was not invented in the United States That distinction belongs to Germany Nikolaus Otto built the first practical internal-combustion engine there in 1876 Then, German engineer Karl Benz built what are regarded as the first modern automobiles in the mid-1880s But the United States pioneered the merchandising of the automobile The auto show proved to be an effective means of getting the public excited about automotive products

By happenstance, the number of people at the first New York show equaled the entire car

population of the United States at that time In 1900, 10 million bicycles and an unknown number of horse-drawn carriages provided the prime means of personal transportation Only about 4,000 cars were assembled in the United States in 1900, and only a quarter of those were gasoline powered The rest ran on steam or electricity

After viewing the cars made by forty car makers, the show’s audience favored electric cars because they were quiet The risk of a boiler explosion turned people away from steamers, and the

gasoline-powered cars produced smelly fumes The Duryea Motor Wagon Company, which launched the American auto industry in 1895, offered a fragrant additive designed to mask the smells of the

naphtha that it burned Many of the 1900 models were cumbersome—the Gasmobile, the Franklin, and the Orient, for example, steered with a tiller like a boat instead of with a steering wheel None of them was equipped with an automatic starter

These early model cars were practically handmade and were not very dependable They were basically toys of the well-to-do In fact, Woodrow Wilson, then a professor at Princeton University and later President of the United States, predicted that automobiles would cause conflict between the wealthy and the poor However, among the exhibitors at the 1900 show was a young engineer named Henry Ford But before the end of the decade, he would revolutionize the automobile industry with his Model T Ford The Model T, first produced in 1909, featured a standardized design and a streamlined method of production—the assembly line Its lower costs made it available to the mass market

Cars at the 1900 show ranged in price from $1,000 to $1,500, or roughly $14,000 to $21,000 in today’s prices By 1913, the Model T was selling for less than $300, and soon the price would drop even further “I will build cars for the multitudes,” Ford said, and he kept his promise

Question 36: The passage implies that the audience viewed the 1900 National Automobile Show primarily as a(n) _

A formal social occasion

B chance to buy automobiles at low prices

C opportunity to learn how to drive

D chance to invest in one of thirty-two automobile manufacturers

Question 37: According to the passage, who developed the first modern car?

Question 38: The phrase “by happenstance” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _

Question 39: Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “launched” in paragraph 4

_

Question 40: The purpose of the “additive” mentioned in paragraph 4 was to _

C make engines run more efficiently D make cars look better

Question 41: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as steering with a tiller rather than with a steering wheel?

Question 42: It is clear from the passage that the early cars _

C involved less expensive cars D involved fewer manufacturers

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50

You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their actions This is useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond

to them Emotions have evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey our

intentions to others But does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? Much research on emotional expression has centered on such questions

According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and understand substantially the same “facial language” Studies by Ekman’s group have demonstrated that humans share a set of universal emotional expressions that testify to the common biological heritage of the human species Smiles, for example, signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people in far-flung places as Argentina, Japan, Spain, Hungary, Poland, Sumatra, the United States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea and the Eskimo villagers north of the Artic Circle Ekman and his colleagues claim that people everywhere can recognize at least seven basic emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and surprise There are, however, huge differences across cultures in both the context and intensity of emotional displays – the so-called display rules In many Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses – especially negative one – while many American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly Regardless

of culture, however, emotions usually show themselves, to some degree, in people’s behaviour From their first days of life, babies produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings

The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too Very young children pay close attention

to facial expressions, and by age five they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading emotions on

people’s faces This evidence all points to a biological underpinning for our abilities to express and

interpret a basic set of human emotions Moreover, as Charles Darwin pointed out over a century ago, some emotional expressions seem to appear across species boundaries Cross-cultural psychologists tell us that certain emotional responses carry different meanings in different cultures For examples, what emotion, you suppose, might indicate disgust, while in China it can signify surprise Likewise, a grin on an American face may indicate joy, while on a Japanese face it may, just as easily, mean embarrassment Clearly, culture influences emotional expressions

Question 43: Smiles and frowns _

A have different meanings in different cultures

B do not convey the same emotions in various cultures

C are not popular everywhere

D are universal expressions across cultures

Question 44: The biggest difference lies in _

A how long negative emotions are displayed B how emotional responses are controlled

C how intensive emotions are expressed D how often positive emotions are shown

Question 45: The best title of this passage is _

B Human habit of display emotions

C A review of researchers on emotional expressions

D Ways to control emotional expressions

Question 46: Young children _

A make amazing progress in controlling their emotions

B take time to control their facial expressions

C are sensitive towards others’ emotions

D spend a long time learning to read others’ emotions

Question 48: Many studies on emotional expressions try to answer the questions whether _

A eyebrows raising means the same in Minneapolis and Madagascar

B rounding the mouth has the same in Minneapolis and Madagascar

C raising the eyebrows has similar meaning to rounding the mouth

D different cultures have similar emotional expressions

Question 49: The word “evolved” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _

Question 50: The phrase “this evidence” in paragraph 3 refers to _

A the fact that children can control their feelings

B human facial expressions

C a biological underpinning for humans to express emotions

D the fact that children are good at recognizing others’ emotions
