sociologists, the word culture has come to be used generally both in the singular and the plural (cultures) to refer to a whole way of life of people, including their customs, laws, conventions, and values

Distinctions have consequently been drawn between primitive and advanced culture and cultures, between elite and popular culture, between popular and mass culture, and most recently between national and global cultures Distinctions have been drawn too between culture and civilization; the latter is a word derived not, like culture or agriculture, from the soil, but from the city The two words are sometimes treated as synonymous Yet this is misleading While civilization and barbarism are pitted against each other in what seems to be a perpetual behavioural pattern, the use of the word culture has been strongly influenced by conceptions of evolution in the 19th century and of development in the 20th century Cultures evolve or develop They are not static They have twists and turns Styles change So fashions There are cultural processes What, for example, the word cultured means has changed substantially since the study of classical (that is, Greek and Roman) literature, philosophy, and history ceased in the 20th century to be central to school and university education No single alternative focus emerged, although with computers has come electronic culture, affecting kinds of study, and most recently digital culture As cultures express themselves in new forms not everything gets better or more civilized

The multiplicity of meanings attached to the word made and will make it difficult to define There is no single, unproblematic definition, although many attempts have been made to establish one The only non-problematic definitions go back to agricultural meaning (for example, cereal culture or strawberry culture) and medical meaning (for example, bacterial culture or penicillin culture) Since in anthropology and sociology we also acknowledge culture clashes, culture shock, and counter-culture, the range of reference is extremely wide

B have nearly the same meaning

C are both related to agriculture and cultivation D not develop from the same meaning

Question 39: It can be inferred from the passage that since the 20th century A schools and universities have not taught classical literature, philosophy, and history B classical literature, philosophy, and history have been considered as core subjects C classical literature, philosophy, and history have not been taught as compulsory subjects D all schools and universities have taught classical literature, philosophy, and history

The issue of equality for women in British society first attracted national attention in the early 20th century, when the suffragettes won for women the right to vote In the 1960s feminism became the subject of intense debate when the women’s liberation movement encouraged women to reject their traditional supporting role and to demand equal status and equal rights with men in areas such as employment and pay

Since then, the gender gap between the sexes has been reduced The Equal Pay Act of 1970, for instance, made it illegal for women to be paid less than men for doing the same work, and in 1975 the Sex Discrimination Act aimed to prevent either sex having an unfair advantage when applying for jobs In the same year the Equal Opportunities Commission was set up to help people claim their rights to equal treatment and to publish research and statistics to show where improvements in opportunities for women need to be made Women now have much better employment opportunities, though they still tend to get less well-paid jobs than men, and very few are appointed to top jobs in industry

In the US the movement that is often called the “first wave of feminism” began in the mid 1800s Susan B Anthony worked for the right to vote, Margaret Sanger wanted to provide women with the means of contraception so that they could decide whether or not to have children, and Elizabeth Blackwell, who had to fight for the chance to become a doctor, wanted women to have greater opportunities to study Many feminists were interested in other social issues

Question 71: It can be inferred from paragraph that in the 19th century, A British women did not have the right to vote in political elections

B most women did not wish to have equal status and equal rights C British women did not complete their traditional supporting role D suffragettes fought for the equal employment and equal pay

Question 72: The phrase “gender gap” in paragraph refers to A the social distance between the two sexes

B the difference in status between men and women C the visible space between men and women D the social relationship between the two sexes

Question 73: Susan B Anthony, Margaret Sanger, and Elizabeth Blackwell are mentioned as

A American women who had greater opportunities B American women who were more successful than men C pioneers in the fight for American women’s rights D American women with exceptional abilities

Question 74: The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA)

A supported employers, schools and clubs B was brought into force in the 1960s C was not officially approved D changed the US Constitution

Question 75: In the late 20th century, some information about feminism in Britain was issued by

A the Equal Pay Act of 1970 B the Sex Discrimination Act C the Equal Opportunities Commission D the Equal Rights Amendment

Question 76: Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A The US movement of feminism became the most popular in the late 20th century B The women’s liberation movement in the world first began in Britain

C The movement of feminism began in the US earlier than in Britain

D The British government passed laws to support women in the early 20th century

Question 77: The phrase “glass ceiling” in paragraph mostly means A an overlooked problem B a ceiling made of glass C an imaginary barrier D a transparent frame

Question 78: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A Many American women still face the problem of household chores B An American woman once had to fight for the chance to become a doctor C British women now have much better employment opportunities

D There is now no sex discrimination in Britain and in the US

Question 79: It can be inferred from the passage that

A the belief that sex discrimination should not exist is not popular in the US B women in Britain and the US still fight for their equal status and equal rights C the British government did not approve of the women’s liberation movement D women not have better employment opportunities despite their great efforts

Since then, the gender gap between the sexes has been reduced The Equal Pay Act of 1970, for instance, made it illegal for women to be paid less than men for doing the same work, and in 1975 the Sex Discrimination Act aimed to prevent either sex having an unfair advantage when applying for jobs In the same year the Equal Opportunities Commission was set up to help people claim their rights to equal treatment and to publish research and statistics to show where improvements in opportunities for women need to be made Women now have much better employment opportunities, though they still tend to get less well-paid jobs than men, and very few are appointed to top jobs in industry

The second wave of feminism began in the 1960s Women like Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem became associated with the fight to get equal rights and opportunities for women under the law An important issue was the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which was intended to change the Constitution Although the ERA was not passed, there was progress in other areas It became illegal for employers, schools, clubs, etc to discriminate against women But women still find it hard to advance beyond a certain point in their careers, the so-called glass ceiling that prevents them from having high-level jobs Many women also face the problem of the second shift, i.e the household chores

Read the following passage adapted from A Briggs’ article on culture, Microsoft® Student 2008, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 45

Culture is a word in common use with complex meanings, and is derived, like the term

broadcasting, from the treatment and care of the soil and of what grows on it It is directly related to

cultivation and the adjectives cultural and cultured are part of the same verbal complex A person of

culture has identifiable attributes, among them a knowledge of and interest in the arts, literature, and

music Yet the word culture does not refer solely to such knowledge and interest nor, indeed, to

education At least from the 19th century onwards, under the influence of anthropologists and

sociologists, the word culture has come to be used generally both in the singular and the plural

(cultures) to refer to a whole way of life of people, including their customs, laws, conventions, and values

Distinctions have consequently been drawn between primitive and advanced culture and cultures, between elite and popular culture, between popular and mass culture, and most recently between

national and global cultures Distinctions have been drawn too between culture and civilization; the

latter is a word derived not, like culture or agriculture, from the soil, but from the city The two words are sometimes treated as synonymous Yet this is misleading While civilization and barbarism are pitted against each other in what seems to be a perpetual behavioural pattern, the use of the word

culture has been strongly influenced by conceptions of evolution in the 19th century and of

development in the 20th century Cultures evolve or develop They are not static They have twists

and turns Styles change So fashions There are cultural processes What, for example, the word

cultured means has changed substantially since the study of classical (that is, Greek and Roman)

literature, philosophy, and history ceased in the 20th century to be central to school and university

education No single alternative focus emerged, although with computers has come electronic culture, affecting kinds of study, and most recently digital culture As cultures express themselves in new forms not everything gets better or more civilized

century, when the suffragettes won for women the right to vote In the 1960s feminism became the subject of intense debate when the women’s liberation movement encouraged women to reject their traditional supporting role and to demand equal status and equal rights with men in areas such as employment and pay

Since then, the gender gap between the sexes has been reduced The Equal Pay Act of 1970, for

instance, made it illegal for women to be paid less than men for doing the same work, and in 1975 the Sex Discrimination Act aimed to prevent either sex having an unfair advantage when applying for jobs In the same year the Equal Opportunities Commission was set up to help people claim their rights to equal treatment and to publish research and statistics to show where improvements in opportunities for women need to be made Women now have much better employment opportunities, though they still tend to get less well-paid jobs than men, and very few are appointed to top jobs in industry
