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

A chance to buy automobiles at low prices

B formal social occasion

C chance to invest in cine of thirty-two automobile manufacturers

D opportunity to learn how to drive

Question 17: Approximately how many of the cars assembled in the year

1900 were gasoline powered?

D make cars look better

Question 20: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as steering with a tiller rather than with a steering wheel?

A A Gasmobile

B A Duryea

C A Franklin

D An Orient

Question 21: It is clear from the passage that the early cars

A were more formal

B involved less expensive cars

C involved fewer manufacturers

D were more spectacular

Question 22: What was the highest price asked for a car at the 1900 National Automobile Show in the dollars of that time?

A considerable body of research has demonstrated a correlation between birth order and aspects such as temperament and behavior, and some psychologists believe that birth order significantly affects the development of personality Psychologist Alfred Adler was a pioneer in the study of the relationship between birth order and personality A key point

in his research and in the hypothesis that he developed based on it was that it was not the actual numerical birth position that affected personality; instead, it was the similar responses in large numbers of families to children in specific birth order positions that had an effect For example, first-borns, who have their parents to themselves initially and

do not have to deal with siblings in the first part of their lives, tend to have their first socialization experiences with adults and therefore tend to find the process of peer socialization more difficult In contrast, later-born children have to deal with siblings from the first moment of their lives and therefore tend to have stronger socialization skills

Numerous studies since Adler's have been conducted on the effect

of birth order and personality These studies have tended to classify birth order types into four different categories: first-born, second-born and/or middle, last, and only child

Studies have consistently shown that first-born children tend to exhibit similar, positive and negative personality traits First-borns have consistently been linked with academic achievement in various studies; in one study, the number of National Merit scholarship winners who are first-borns was found to be equal to the number of second-and third-borns combined First-borns have been found to be more responsible and assertive than those born in other birth-order positions and tend to rise to positions of leadership more often than others; more first-borns have served in the U.S Congress and as U.S presidents than have those born

in other birth-order positions However, studies have shown that

first-borns tend to be more subject to stress and were considered problem children more often than later-borns.

Second-born and/or middle children demonstrate markedly different tendencies from first-borns They tend to feel inferior to the older child or children because it is difficult for them to comprehend that their lower level of achievement is a function of age rather than ability, and they often try to succeed in areas other than those in which their older sibling

or siblings excel They tend to be more trusting, accepting, and focused

on others than the more self-centered first-borns, and they tend to have a comparatively higher level of success in team sports than do first-borns or only children, who more often excel in individual sports

The last-born child is the one who tends to be the eternal baby of the family and thus often exhibits a strong sense of security Last-borns collectively achieve the highest degree of social success and demonstrate the highest levels of self-esteem of all the birth-order positions They often exhibit less competitiveness than older brothers and sisters and are more likely to take part in less competitive group games or in social organizations such as sororities and fraternities

Only children tend to exhibit some of the main characteristics of first-borns and some of the characteristics of last-borns Only children tend to exhibit the strong sense of security and self-esteem exhibited by last-borns while, like first-borns, they are more achievement oriented and more likely than middle-or last-borns to achieve academic success However, only children tend to have the most problems establishing dose relationships and exhibit a lower need for affiliation than other children.Question 6: The word body in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by _

In science, a THEORY is a reasonable explanation of observed events that are related A theory OFTEN INVOLVES AN IMAGINARY MODEL that helps scientists picture the way an observed event could be produced A good example of this is found in the kinetic molecular theory,

in which gases are pictured as being made up of many small particles that are in constant motion

A useful theory, in addition to explaining past observation, helps to predict events that have not as yet been observed After a theory has been publicized, scientists design experiments to test the theory If observations confirm the scientists' predictions, the theory is supported If observations do not confirm the predictions, the scientists must search further There may be a fault in the experiment, or the theory may have

to be revised or rejected

Science involves imagination and creative thinking as well as collecting information and performing experiments Facts by themselves are not science As the mathematician Jules Henri Poincare said: "Science

is built with facts just as a house is built with bricks, but a collection of facts cannot be called science any more than a pile of bricks can be called

a house."

Most scientists start an investigation by finding out what other scientists have learned about a particular problem After known facts have been gathered, the scientist comes to the part of the investigation that

requires considerable imagination Possible solutions to the problem are formulated These possible solutions are called hypotheses In a way, any hypothesis is a leap into the unknown It extends the scientist's thinking beyond the known facts The scientist plans experiments, performs calculations, and makes observations to test hypotheses For without hypotheses, further investigation lacks purpose and direction When hypotheses are confirmed, they are incorporated into theories.

Question 36: Which of the following is the main subject of the passage?

A The importance of models in scientific theories

B The sorts of facts that scientists find most interesting

C The ways that scientists perform different types of experiments

D The place of theory and hypothesis in scientific investigation

Question 37: The word "related" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _

A described

B identified

C connected

D completed

Question 38: The word "this" in paragraph 1 refers to _

A the kinetic molecular theory

D find errors in past experiments

Question 40: The word "supported" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning

to _

A upheld

B finished

C adjusted

D investigated

Question 41: "Bricks" are mentioned in paragraph 3 to indicate how _

A science is more than a collection of facts

B scientific experiments have led to improved technology

C mathematicians approach science

D building a house is like performing experiments

Question 42: In the fourth paragraph, the author implies that imagination

is most important to scientists when they _

A formulate possible solutions to a problem

B evaluate previous work on a problem

C close an investigation

D gather known facts

Question 43: In paragraph 4, the author refers to a hypothesis as "a leap into the unknown" in order to show that hypotheses _

A require effort to formulate

B can lead to dangerous results

C go beyond available facts

D are sometimes ill-conceived

Question 44: In the last paragraph, what does the author imply is a major function of hypotheses?

A Linking together different theories

B Communicating a scientist's thoughts to others

C Providing direction for scientific research

D Sifting through known facts

Question 45: Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?

A Theories are simply imaginary models of past events

B A scientist's most difficult task is testing hypotheses

C A good scientist needs to be creative

D It is better to revise a hypothesis than to reject it

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

A Historical furniture contained in Winterthur

B How Winterthur compares to English country houses

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

Question 34: The word "assembled" in line 9 is closest in meaning to

Question 37: According to the passage, objects in a period room are related by all OF the following EXCEPT

B Paragraph 2 explains a term that was mentioned in Paragraph 1

C Each paragraph describes a different historical period

Dinosaurs were reptiles that lived during a period of earth's history called the Mesozoic Era, which is known as the Age of Reptiles The first dinosaurs appeared more than 200 million years ago For many millions of years, they dominated the land with their huge size and strength Then about 65 million years ago, they died out rather suddenly, never to reemerge

The word dinosaur comes from two Greek words meaning "terrible lizard" Dinosaurs were not lizards, but their appearance could be truly terrifying The biggest ones weighed more than ten times as much as a

mature elephant and nearly equaled the size of most modern-day whales The famous kinds of dinosaurs, including the brontosaur and tyrannosaurus rex, reached 80 to 90 feet in length Not all dinosaurs were giants, however, some were actually no larger than a chicken.

Scientists still do not know what caused dinosaur to disappear One theory involves a change in the earth's climate It is believed that temperature dropped significantly towards the end of the Cretaceous Period Too large to hibernate and not having fur or feathers for protection, it is possible that the climate became too chilly for dinosaurs

In contrast, other species having protection, such as the mammals and birds, were able to survive

Question 40: What is the best title for this passage?
