The first American immigrants, beginning more than 20,000 years ago, were intercontinental wanderers: hunters and their families following animal (51) from Asia to America, across a land bridge where the Bering Strait is today (52) Spain’s Christopher Columbus “discovered” the New World in 1492, about 1.5 million Native Americans lived in what is now the continental United States, although estimates of the number (53) greatly Mistaking the place where he landed – San Salvador in the Bahamas – (54) the Indies, Columbus called the Native Americans “Indians.”

During the next 200 years, people from several European countries followed Columbus across the Atlantic Ocean to explore America and (55) up trading posts and colonies Native Americans suffered (56) from the influx of Europeans The transfer of land from Indian to European – and later American – hands (57) accomplished through treaties, wars, and coercion, with Indians constantly giving (58) as the newcomers moved west In the 19th century, the government’s preferred solution to the Indian “problem” was to force tribes to inhabit specific plots of land called reservations Some tribes fought to keep from (59) land they had traditionally used In many cases the reservation land was (60) poor quality, and Indians came to depend on government assistance Poverty and joblessness among Native Americans still exist today

Read the following passage on commuting, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 61 to 70

Commuting is the practice of travelling a long distance to a town or city to work each day, and then travelling home again in the evening The word commuting comes from commutation ticket, a US rail ticket for repeated journeys, called a season ticket in Britain Regular travellers are called commuters

The US has many commuters A few, mostly on the East Coast, commute by train or subway, but most depend on the car Some leave home very early to avoid the traffic jams, and sleep in their cars until their office opens Many people accept a long trip to work so that they can live in quiet bedroom communities away from the city, but another reason is ‘white flight’ In the 1960s most cities began to desegregate their schools, so that there were no longer separate schools for white and black children Many white families did not want to send their children to desegregated schools, so they moved to the suburbs, which have their own schools, and where, for various reasons, few black people live

Millions of people in Britain commute by car or train Some spend two or three hours a day travelling, so that they and their families can live in suburbia or in the countryside Cities are surrounded by commuter belts Part of the commuter belt around London is called the stockbroker belt because it contains houses where rich business people live Some places are becoming dormitory towns, because people sleep there but take little part in local activities

Most commuters travel to and from work at the same time, causing the morning and evening rush hours, when buses and trains are crowded and there are traffic jams on the roads Commuters on trains rarely talk to each other and spend their journey reading, sleeping or using their mobile phones, though this is not popular with other passengers Increasing numbers of people now work at home some days of the week, linked to their offices by computer, a practice called telecommuting

Cities in both Britain and the US are trying to reduce the number of cars coming into town each day Some companies encourage car pooling (called car sharing in Britain), an arrangement for people who live and work near each other to travel together Some US cities have a public service that helps such people to contact each other, and traffic lanes are reserved for car-pool vehicles But cars and petrol/gas are cheap in the US, and many people prefer to drive alone because it gives them more freedom In Britain many cities have park-and-ride schemes, car parks on the edge of the city from which buses take drivers into the centre

(Extracted from Oxford Guide to British and American Culture, Oxford University Press, 2000) Question 61:Which of the following definitions of commuting would the author of this passage most probably agree with?

A Travelling for hours from a town or city to work in the countryside every day B Travelling to work and then home again in a day within a rural district

C Using a commutation ticket for special journeys in all seasons of the year

D Regularly travelling a long distance between one’s place of work and one’s home Question 62:The word “repeated” in paragraph most probably means

A buying a season ticket again B doing something once again C saying something again D happening again and again

Question 63: The passage mentions that many Americans are willing to travel a long distance to work in order to be able to live in

A comfortable bedrooms B quiet neighbourhoods

C city centres D noisy communities

Question 64:Which of the following is true according to the passage? A Britain has considerably more commuters than the US

(6)

Question 65:Which of the following is NOT true about the London commuter belt?

A It is home to some wealthy business people B It is like “bedroom communities” in the US C It is in central London D It surrounds London

Question 66: It can be inferred from the passage that dormitory towns in Britain are places where people

A contribute to the local community B are employed locally C take part in local activities D stay for the night Question 67:As mentioned in the passage, commuters usually

A talk to each other during train journeys B cause traffic congestion on the roads C go home from work at different hours D go to work at different hours

Question 68:The phrase “linked to” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A satisfied with B connected to C shared with D related to

Question 69: All of the following are measures to reduce the number of cars coming into town each day in the US and/or Britain EXCEPT

A car pooling/sharing B traffic lanes for car pooling C park-and-ride schemes D free car parks in the city centre Question 70:The word “it” in the last paragraph refers to

Read the following passage on learning by Mazur, James E, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 71 to 80

Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviors It is common to think of learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human learning occurs outside the classroom, and people continue to learn throughout their lives

Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to manipulate toys, food, and other objects They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics They also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished They learn social skills for interacting with other children After they finish school, people must learn to adapt to the many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job

Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people’s behaviors Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to influence the behavior of workers, voters, and consumers

Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge when we need it In contrast, psychologists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person’s experiences

There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex Simple forms of learning involve a single stimulus A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste In a form of learning known as classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thunder In operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a behavior and its consequences (reward or punishment) People and animals can also learn by observation - that is, by watching others perform behaviors More complex forms of learning include learning languages, concepts, and motor skills

(7)

A the situations inwhich people cannot teach themselves B the areas of learning which affect people’s lives

C the changes to which people have to orient themselves D the ways people’s lives are influenced by education

Question 74: Which of the following can be inferred about the learning process from the passage? A It is more interesting and effective in school than that in life

B It becomes less challenging and complicated when people grow older C It plays a crucial part in improving the learner’s motivation in school D It takes place more frequently in real life than in academic institutions

Question 75: According to the passage, the study of learning is important in many fields due to A the great influence of the on-going learning process

B the influence of various behaviours in the learning process C theexploration of the best teaching methods

D the need for certain experiences in various areas

Question 76: It can be inferred from the passage that social workers, employers, and politicians concern themselves with the study of learning because they need to

A change the behaviours of the objects of their interest towards learning B make the objects of their interest more aware of the importance of learning C understand how a stimulus relates to the senses of the objects of their interest D thoroughly understand the behaviours of the objects of their interest

Question 77: The word “retrieves ” in paragraph is closest in meaning to _

A generates B recovers C creates D gains

Question 78: Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A Psychologists studying memory are concerned with how the stored knowledge is used B Psychologists studying memory are concerned with the brain’s storage of knowledge C Psychologists are all interested in memory as much as behaviours

D Psychologists studying learning are interested in human behaviours

Question 79: According to the passage, the stimulus in simple forms of learning A makes associations between behaviours B is created by the senses

C is associated with natural phenomena D bears relation to perception Question 80: The passage mainly discusses

A simple forms of learning

B practical examples of learning inside the classroom C application of learning principles to formal education D generalprinciples of learning

Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge when we need it In contrast, psychologists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person’s experiences

There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex Simple forms of learning involve a single stimulus A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste In a form of learning known as classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thunder In operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a behavior and its consequences (reward or punishment) People and animals can also learn by observation - that is, by watching others perform behaviors More complex forms of learning include learning languages, concepts, and motor skills
