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 51 to 60.
The languages spoken by early Europeans are still shrouded in mystery There is no linguistic continuity between the languages of Old Europe (a term sometimes used for Europe between 7,000 and 3,000 B.C.) and the languages of the modern world, and we cannot yet translate the Old European script Scholars have deciphered other ancient languages, such as Sumerian, Akkadian, and Babylonian, which used the cuneiform script, because of the fortuitous discovery of bilingual inscriptions When cuneiform tablets were first discovered in the 18th century, scholars could not decipher them Then inscriptions found in Iran at the
end of the 18th century provided a link: these inscriptions were written in cuneiform and in two other ancient
languages, Old Persian and New Elamite – languages that had already been deciphered It took several decades, but scholars eventually translated the ancient cuneiform script via the more familiar Old Persian language
Similarly, the hieroglyphic writing of the Egyptians remained a mystery until French troops unearthed the famous Rosetta stone in the late 18th century The stone carried the same message written in ancient
Greek, Egyptian hieroglyphs, and Egyptian hieratic, a simplified form of hieroglyphs The Rosetta stone
thwarted scholars’ efforts for several decades until the early 19th century when several key hieroglyphic
phrases were decoded using the Greek inscriptions Unfortunately, we have no Old European Rosetta stone to chart correspondences between Old European script and the languages that replaced it
The incursions of Indo-European tribes into Old Europe from the late 5th to the early 3rd millennia B.C.
caused a linguistic and cultural discontinuity These incursions disrupted the Old European sedentary farming lifestyle that had existed for 3,000 years As the Indo-Europeans encroached on Old Europe from the east, the continent underwent upheavals These severely affected the Balkans, where the Old European cultures abundantly employed script The Old European way of life deteriorated rapidly, although pockets of Old European cultural remained for several millennia The new peoples spoke completely different languages belonging to the Indo-European linguistic family The Old European language or languages, and the script used to write them, declined and eventually vanished
Question 51 What is the main topic of the passage?
A Reason for the failure to understand the written records of Old European culture B Influences on the development of Old European script
C Similarities between Old European script and other ancient writing systems D Events leading to the discovery of Old European script
Question 52 According to the passage, New Elamite is _
A a language that was used in Europe about 3,000 years ago B a modern language that came from Old Persian
C one of the languages spoken by the Old Europeans D a language that was understood by the late 18th century
Question 53: When does the passage suggest that ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic script was finally deciphered?
A At around the same time as cuneiform script was deciphered B Shortly before the Rosetta stone was unearthed
C As soon as additional bilingual inscriptions became available to scholars D A few decades after the hieratic script was decoded
Question 54: According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE of the Rosetta stone? A It was found by scholars trying to decode ancient languages
B It contains two versions of hieroglyphic script
(5)Question 55: According to the passage, scholars were able to decipher cuneiform form with the help of
_
A the Sumerian, Akkadian, and Babylonian languages B Old Persian
C tablets written in Old European D languages spoken in 18th century Iran Question 56: The word “fortuitous” in the 1st paragraph is closest in meaning to _.
A important B immediate C early D lucky
Question 57:The word “them” in the 1st paragraph refers to _.
A Sumerian, Akkadian, and Babylonian B bilingual inscriptions
C cuneiform tablets D scholars
Question 58: The word “thwarted” in the 2nd paragraph is closest in meaning to _
A continued B influenced C encouraged D frustrated
Question 59:According to the passage, Indo-European incursions caused Old European population to
A separated into different tribes B move eastward
C change their ways of living and obtain food D start recording historical events in writing
Question 60: The author mentions the Balkans in the passage in order to explain why _
A Indo-European languages were slow to spread in Old Europe
B the inhabitants of Old Europe were not able to prevent Indo-European incursions C the use of the Old European script declined
D the Old European culture survived for a time after the Indo-European incursions

Industrialization came to the United State after 1790 as North American entrepreneurs increased productivity by reorganizing work and building factories These innovations in manufacturing boosted output and living standards to an unprecedented extent; the average per capita wealth increased by nearly percent per year – 30 percent over the course of a generation Goods that had once been luxury items became part of everyday life
The impressive gain in output stemmed primarily from the way in which workers made goods, since the 1790's, North American entrepreneurs – even without technological improvements – had broadened the
scope of the outwork system that mace manufacturing more efficient by distributing materials to a succession of workers who each performed a single step of the production process For example, during the 1820's and 1830's the shoe industry greatly expanded the scale and extend of me outwork system Tens of thousands of rural women, paid according to the amount they produced, fabricated the "uppers" of shoes, which were bound to the soles by wage-earning journeymen shoemakers in dozens of Massachusetts towns, whereas previously journeymen would have made the enduring shoe This system of production made the employer a powerful "shoe boss" and eroded workers' control over the pace and conditions of labor However, it also dramatically increased the output of shoes while cutting their price
For tasks that were not suited to the outwork system, entrepreneurs created an even more important new organization, the modem factory, which used power-driven machines and assembly-line techniques to turn out large quantities of well-made goods As early as 1782 the prolific Delaware inventor Oliver Evans had built a highly automated, laborsaving flour mill driven by water power His machinery lifted the grain to the top of the mill, cleaned it as it fell into containers known as hoppers, ground the grain into flour, and then conveyed the flour back to the top of the mill to allow it to cool as it descended into barrels Subsequently, manufacturers made use of new improved stationary steam engines to power their mills This new technology enabled them to build factories in the nation's largest cities, taking advantage of urban concentrations of inexpensive labor, good transportation networks, and eager customers

A an increase in the worker's dependence on entrepreneurs B an increase in the wages paid to journeymen shoemakers C a decline in the workers ability to control the speed of production D a decrease in the price of shoes
Question 66. All of the following are true of the outwork system EXCEPT A It involved stages of production
B It was more efficient than the systems used before 1790
C It made many employers less powerful than they had been before D It did not necessarily involve any technological improvements
Question 67. The word "prolific" is closest in meaning to
A efficient B productive C self-employed D progressive
Question 68. According to the passage, how did later mills differ from the mills differ from the mill built by Oliver Evans?
A They were located away from large cities B They used new technology to produce power
C They did not allow flour to cool before it was placed in Barrels D They combined technology with the outwork system

(10)person is born with Others, however, argue that the potential for great achievement can be developed The truth lies somewhere between these two extremes
It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase a child’s ability to well However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing and opportunities As one psychologist says, “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel.”
Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical twins that were separated shortly after birth and brought up by different parents They found that achievement was based on intelligence, and later influenced by the child’s environment
One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted One of the twins received a normal upbringing, and performed well The other twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportive parents and given every possible opportunity to develop its abilities That twin, though starting out with the same degree of intelligence as the other, performed even better
This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability The more favorable the environment, the more a child’s intelligence and ability are developed However, there is no link between intelligence and the socioeconomic level of a child’s family In other words, it does not matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect intelligence
Gifted people cannot be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them One professor of music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than ordinary performers, often because their parents had recognized their ability These musicians then needed at least ten years’ hard work and training in order to reach the level they were capable of attaining
People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice: - Marry an intelligent person
- Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents - Start a child’s education early but avoid pushing the child too hard
- Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instruments is essential for a child who wants to become an outstanding musician
Question 46: The upbringing of highly intelligent children requires _
A an expensive education B good musical instruments
C parental support and encouragement D wealthy and loving parents
Question 47: The word “others” used in the first paragraph refers to
A other people B other scientists
C other children D other geniuses
Question 48: When scientists studied intelligence and ability in twins, they found that _ A ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement
B intelligence and development are irrelevant to ability C ability depends both on intelligence and on environment D different twins generally have different levels of ability
Question 49: Scientists chose twins for their study because A each twin has the same environment as his/her twin
