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.

During the nineteenth century further advances were made, notably Bessemer's process for converting iron into steel, which made the material more commercially viable

Iron was rapidly adopted for the construction of bridges, because its strength was far greater than that of stone or timber, but its use in the architecture of buildings developed more slowly By 1800 a complete internal iron skeleton for buildings had been developed in industrial architecture replacing traditional timber beams, but it generally remained concealed Apart from its low cost, the appeal of iron as a building material lay in its strength, its resistance to fire, and its potential to span vast areas As a result, iron became increasingly popular as a structural material for more traditional styles of architecture during the nineteenth century, but it was invariably concealed

Significantly, the use of exposed iron occurred mainly in the new building types spawned by the Industrial Revolution: in factories, warehouses, commercial offices, exhibition hall, and railroad stations, where its practical advantages far outweighed its lack of status Designers of the railroad stations of the new age explored the potential of iron, covering huge areas with spans that surpassed the great vaults of medieval churches and cathedrals Paxton's Crystal Palace, designed to house the Great Exhibition of 1851, covered an area of 1.848 feet by 408 feet in prefabricated units of glass set in iron frames The Paris Exhibition of 1889 included both the widest span and the greatest height achieved so far with the Halle Des Machines, spanning 362 feet, and the Eiffel Tower 1,000 feet high However, these achievements were mocked by the artistic elite of Paris as expensive and ugly follies Iron, despite its structural advantages, had little aesthetic status The use of an exposed iron structure in the more traditional styles of architecture was slower to develop

55 What does the passage mainly discuss?

A Advances in iron processing in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries B The effects of the Industrial Revolution on traditional architectural styles C Advantages of stone and timber over steel as a building material

D The evolution of the use of iron in architecture during the 1800's 56 The word "revolutionized" is closest in meaning to _. A quickly started B gradually opened

C dramatically changed D carefully examined

57 According to the passage, iron was NOT used for beams, columns, and girders prior to the early eighteenth century because _

A all available iron was needed for other purposes B limited mining capability made iron too expensive

C iron was considered too valuable for use in public buildings D the use of charcoal for refining ore produced poor quality iron

C much stronger D easier to transport 59 The word "it" refers to _.

A industrial architecture B internal iron skeleton C stone D strength

60 The word "surpassed" is closest in meaning to _. A imitated B exceeded

C approached D included

61 According to paragraph 3, the architectural significance of the Halle Des Machines was its _

A wide span B great height

C unequaled beauty D prefabricated unites of glass

62 How did the artistic elite mentioned in the passage react to the buildings at the Paris Exhibition? A They tried to copy them B They ridiculed them

C They praised them D They refused to pay to see them

63 It can be inferred that the delayed use of exposed iron structures in traditional styles of architecture is best explained by the _

A impracticality of using iron for small, noncommercial buildings

B association of iron architecture with the problems of the Industrial Revolution

C general belief that iron offered less resistance to fire and harsh weather than traditional materials D general perception that iron structures were not aesthetically pleasing

64 The paragraph following the passage most probably discusses _ A the gradual inclusion of exposed iron in traditional styles of architecture B further improvements in iron processing methods

C the return to traditional building materials for use in commercial structures D the decreased use of stone and timber as a building material

Cutting the Apron Strings

There is substantial evidence that students going off to college have changed over the years For one thing, studies show that they are emotionally closer to their parents and their parents to them One thing that means is that they depend on each other more for happiness It puts a burden on children for parents to use their children as vehicles for their own happiness — although today's young people seem complicit in this arrangement, perhaps because they've known no other way — even if it creates anxiety in the children That's one reason parents like to be involved in their children's college experiences, and colleges have had to devise novel ways of getting parents off campus when they transport their kids to school

university whenever the mood strikes The amount of visiting parents is far more than in generations past

But in a real sense, students don't really leave their parents behind Their parents go to college right along with them — in their front pockets That is, the parents are a speed dial away by cellphone And the evidence is clear that students call parents and parents call students at an alarmingly frequent rate This, of course, significantly reduces independence A student doesn't get the chance to solve minor problems on his own — he just calls Mom or Dad A student has initial problems getting along with a roommate? A roommate doesn't laundry as often as the other roommate wishes (I'm talking about actual incidents, not hypothetical ones? A student gets a C on her first paper? Instead of absorbing the negative information and figuring out how to resolve the problem or how to better, the call gets made to home, where Mom or Dad solves the problem, often by calling the school administration This kind of behavior is, sadly, commonplace today and is a mark of the lack of coping skills among students because all the lumps and bumps have been taken out of life for them until now

In addition to being tethered to parents, incoming freshmen are now very heavily connected (by cellphone) to classmates from high school, who are presumably at other colleges So there isn't the great impetus to mix and venture forth to meet new people, to get out of one's comfort zone, to get drawn into new experiences, that has traditionally marked the beginning of freshman year The laws of physics still apply, and it is difficult to be meeting new people and seeking novel experiences while you are talking to your old pals

Question 35: The provision of mobile phones for children, according to the author, _. A increases positive control by parents

B reduces children’s dependence on their parents C increases children’s dependence

D increases parental interference

Question 36: It can be inferred from paragraph that children and their parents _. A emotionally need each other

B eternally depend on each other

C only temporarily depend on each other D emotionally and physically depend on each other

Question 37: Paragraph also shows that children and their parents _ A are not willing to act as a means to their parents’ happiness B are willing to act as an agent to their parents’ happiness C tend to cling to their parents only as a source of finance D demand a form of payment to go to college

B choose an institution that is close to their home C choose a foreign institution rather than a domestic one D refuse to go to college that is far from home

Question 39: Parents like to involve in their children’s college experiences because _. A they are afraid of being deprived of happiness

B the school often neglects their children

C they find their children a source of happiness D they ‘re worried about the school’s carelessness

Question 40: The word “vehicle” in the 1st paragraph can be replaced by _

A methods B means C ways D instruments

Question 41: The phrase “in the front pocket” in paragraph depicts _from parents A an instant control and care B an efficient way of control

C the way mothers carry their babies D the way some animals carry their babies

Question 42: Colleges have had to devise ways of getting parents off campus because _. A children want complete freedom from their parents’ control

B the colleges want to keep parents in the dark about their activities C parents tend to get more involved in their children’s schoolwork D teachers themselves not want to share information with the parents Question 43: By quoting the laws of physics, the author implies that _. A one should study physics whenever possible

B one should care about their new relationships C one should build more relationships D one should never forget old relationships

Question 44: “Cutting the Apron Strings”, the title of the passage can be interpreted as _ A being financially independent B parting with old relationships

C standing on your own feet D looking for your own devices

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase for each of the blanks.

In 1927 the violinist Yehudi Menuhin made his appearance at the Carnegie Hall for the first time - he was aged ten In the afternoon before the performance, he was wandering around the Hall instead of practising and was fascinated by an axe which he saw on the wall The axe was for use in a fire but the boy, not knowing this, asked a security guard what it was for The guard made an impression with his reply: "That's for chopping the heads off soloists who don't play well enough Quite a few have already been chopped off." Yehudi went rushing back to practise
