furthermore, in its manifestation of speed and noise, it might be a despoiler of human nature as well By the 1850's and 1860's, there was a great distrust among writer and intellectuals of the rapid industrialization of which the railroad was a leading force Deeply philosophical historians such as Henry Adams lamented the role that the new frenzy for business was playing in eroding traditional values A distrust of industry and business continued among writers throughout the rest of the nineteenth century and into the twentieth For the most part, the literature in which the railroad plays an important role belong to popular culture rather than to the realm of serious art One thinks of melodramas, boys' books, thrillers, romances, and the like rather than novels of the first rank In the railroads' prime years, between 1890 and 1920, there were a few individuals in the United States, most of them with solid railroading experience behind them, who made a profession of writing about railroading-works offering the ambience of stations, yards, and locomotive cabs These writers, who can genuinely be said to have created a genre, the "railroad novel." are now mostly forgotten, their names having faded from memory But anyone who takes the time to consult their fertile writings will still find a treasure trove of information about the place of the railroad in the lift of the United States Question 36: With which of the following topics is the passage mainly concerned? A The role of the railroad in the economy of the United States B Major nineteenth-century writers C The conflict between expanding industry and preserving nature D The railroad as a subject for literature Question 37: In the first paragraph, the author implies that writers' reactions to the development of railroads were _ A unchanging B both positive and negative C highly enthusiastic D disinterested Question 38: The word "lamented" is closest in meaning to A analyzed B explained C complained about D reflected on Question 39: According to the passage, the railroad played a significant role in literature in all of the following kinds of books EXCEPT _ A romances B important novels C boys' books D thrillers Question 40: The word "them" refers to _ A novels B individuals C works D years Question 41: The words "faded from" are closest in meaning to _ A disappeared from B grew in C remained in D developed from Question 42: What is the author's attitude toward the "railroad novels" and other books about railroads written between 1890 and 1920? A They have as much literary importance as the books written by Emerson, Thoreau, and Adams B They contributed to the weakening of traditional values C They are good examples of the effects industry and business had on the literature of the United States D They are worth reading as sources of knowledge about the impact of railroads on life in the United States 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 Plants are subject to attack and infection by a remarkable variety of symbiotic species and have evolved a diverse array of mechanisms designed to frustrate the potential colonists These can be divided into preformed or passive defense mechanisms and inducible or active systems Passive plant defense comprises physical and chemical barriers that prevent entry of pathogens, such as bacteria, or render tissues unpalatable or toxic to the invader The external surfaces of plants, in addition to being covered by an epidermis and a waxy cuticle, often carry spiky hairs known as trichomes, which either prevent feeding by insects or may even puncture and kill insect larvae Other trichomes are sticky and glandular and effectively trap and immobilize insects If the physical barriers of the plant are breached, then preformed chemicals may inhibit or kill the intruder, and plant tissues contain a diverse array of toxic or potentially toxic substances, such as resins, tannins, glycosides, and alkaloids, many of which are highly effective deterrents to insects that feed on plants The success of the Colorado beetle in infesting potatoes, for example, seems to be correlated with its high tolerance to alkaloids that normally repel potential pests Other possible chemical defenses, while not directly toxic to the parasite, may inhibit some essential step in the establishment of a parasitic relationship For example, glycoproteins in plant cell walls may inactivate enzymes that degrade cell walls These enzymes are often produced by bacteria and fungi Active plant defense mechanisms are comparable to the immune system of vertebrate animals, although the cellular and molecular bases are fundamentally different Both, however, are triggered in reaction to intrusion, implying that the host has some means of recognizing the presence of a foreign organism The most dramatic example of an inducible plant defense reaction is the hypersensitive response In the hypersensitive response, cells undergo rapid necrosis ― that is, they become diseased and die ― after being penetrated by a parasite ; the parasite itself subsequently ceases to grow and is therefore restricted to one or a few cells around the entry site Several theories have been put forward to explain the bases of hypersensitive resistance Question 43: What does the passage mainly discuss? A The success of parasites in resisting plant defense mechanisms B Theories on active plant defense mechanisms C How plant defense mechanisms function D How the immune system of animals and the defense mechanisms of plants differ Question 44: The phrase "subject to" is closest in meaning to A susceptible to B classified by C attractive to D strengthened by Question 45: The word "puncture" is closest in meaning to A pierce B pinch C surround D cover Question 46: The word "which" refers to A tissues B substances C barriers D insects Question 47: Which of the following substances does the author mention as NOT necessarily being toxic to the Colorado beetle? A Resins B Tannins C Glycosides D Alkaloids Question 48: Why does the author mention "glycoproteins"? A To compare plant defense mechanisms to the immune system of animals B To introduce the discussion of active defense mechanisms in plants C To illustrate how chemicals function in plant defense D To emphasize the importance of physical barriers in plant defense Question 49: The word "dramatic" in line 23 could best be replaced by A striking B accurate C consistent D appealing Question 50: Where in the passage dose the author describe an active plant-defense reaction? A Plants potential colonists B Passive plant the invaders C Other possible relationships D The most dramatic example the entry site - THE END ... powerfully drawn to the railroad in its golden year In fact, writers responded to the railroads as soon as the first were built in the 18 30's By the 18 50's, the railroad was a major presence in... years Question 41: The words "faded from" are closest in meaning to _ A disappeared from B grew in C remained in D developed from Question 42: What is the author's attitude toward the "railroad... array of mechanisms designed to frustrate the potential colonists These can be divided into preformed or passive defense mechanisms and inducible or active systems Passive plant defense comprises
