The artisans and merchants who came to America discovered a unique kind of freedom They were no longer restricted by class and guild traditions of Europe For the first time in history, a man learned that by working hard, he could build his business based on his own name and reputation and quality of work

Phyfe’s workshop apparently took off immediately At the peak of his success, Phyfe employed 100 craftsmen Some economic historians point to Phyfe as having employed division of labour and an assembly line What his workshop produced shows Phyfe’s absolute dedication to quality in workmanship Each piece of furniture was made of the best available materials He was reported to have paid $1,000 for a single Santo Domingo mahogany log

Phyfe did not create new designs Rather, he borrowed from a broad range of the period’s classical styles, Empire, Sheraton, Regency, and French Classical among them Nevertheless, Phyfe’s high quality craftsmanship established him as America’s patriotic interpreter of European design in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries

Although the number of pieces produced by Duncan Phyfe’s workshop is enormous, comparatively few marked or labeled pieces have been found extant In antiques shops and auctions, collectors have paid $11,000 for a card table, $24,200 for a tea table, and $93,500 for a sewing table

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 following questions

The work of women has been economically vital since prehistory, although their contributions have varied according to the structure, needs, customs, and attitudes of society

In prehistoric times, women and men participated almost equally in hunting and gathering activities to obtain food With the development of agricultural communities, women’s work revolved more around the home As urban centres developed, women sold or traded goods in the marketplace

From ancient to modern times, four generalizations can be made about women's paid work Women have worked because of economic necessity; poor women in particular worked outside the home whether they were unmarried or married, and especially if their husbands were unable to sustain the family solely through their own work Women’s indentured work has often been similar to their work at home Women have maintained the primary responsibility for raising children, regardless of their paid work Women have historically been paid less than men and have been allocated lower-status work

Some major changes are now occurring in industrial nations, including the steadily increasing proportion of women in the labor force; decreasing family responsibilities (due to both smaller family size and technological innovation in the home); higher levels of education for women; and more middle and upper-income women working for pay or for job satisfaction Statistically, they have not yet achieved parity of pay or senior appointments in the workplace in any nation Artisans working in their own homes not infrequently used the labor of their families This custom was so prevalent during the Middle Ages, craft guilds of the period, including some that otherwise excluded women, often admitted to membership the widows of guild members, providing they met professional requirements Dressmaking and lacemaking guilds were composed exclusively of women

Gradually, the guilds were replaced by the putting-out system, whereby tools and materials were distributed to workers by merchants; the workers then produced articles on a piecework basis in their homes During the 18th and early 19th centuries, as the Industrial Revolution developed, the putting-out system slowly declined Goods that had been produced by hand in the home were manufactured by machine under the factory system Women competed more with men for some jobs, but were concentrated primarily in textile mills and clothing factories Manufacturers often favored women employees because of relevant skills and lower wages, and also because early trade union organization tended to occur first among men

Employees in sweatshops were also preponderantly women The result was to institutionalize systems of low pay, poor working conditions, long hours, and other abuses, which along with child labor presented some of the worst examples of worker exploitation in early industrial capitalism Minimum wage legislation and other protective laws, when introduced, concentrated particularly on the alleviation of these abuses of working women

Women workers in business and the professions, the so-called white-collar occupations, suffered less from poor conditions of work and exploitative labor, but were denied equality of pay and opportunity The growing use of the typewriter and the telephone after the 1870s created two new employment niches for women, as typists and telephonists, but in both fields the result was again to institutionalize a permanent category of low-paid, low-status women’s work

Question 26: When the farming communities developed, women worked

A less at home B more at home C in groups D more outside Question 27: The word "sweatshops" suggests

A hard work B harmful work C factory work D workshop

Question 28: With better education and less family burden, women A have become more influential in their companies

B have not yet achieved high status in the workplace

C have enjoyed equal status in the workplace D have been respected at home and in the workplace

Question 29: The word "indentured" in this context may mostly means

A in the kitchen B inside the home C outside the kitchen D outside the home

Question 30: Under the "putting-out system", the workers

A provide their factories with raw materials B bought materials to manufacture goods

C turn their homes into factories D are provided with tools to produce goods at home

Question 31: Manufacturers tended to employ women because

A they did not have to pay for high insurance B they could cheat them more easily C they did not have to pay high wages D women demanded less than men Question 32: Although women cannot avoid the task of bringing up children,

A they can be breadwinners as men B they have to work to feed their men C are the mainstay of their families D they have to amuse their men

Question 33: What women have done for the economic development have changed over time due to A their role in the home B the different factors of the society

THE SUCCESS OF J K ROWLING

There are few modern-day writers as renowned as Joanne Kathleen Rowling, the creator of Harry Potter With over 30 awards under her belt, she is one of the most successful authors of all time In addition, her novels have famously been adapted into a series of box-office hits These earn her so much income that the 47-year-old could comfortably retire, and live off Harry Potter royalties for the rest of her life! However, this lucrative success story started at the most humble of beginnings, with a talented but insecure writer too afraid to pursue her dreams

Joanne grew up in a house full of books that fuelled her creativity She was so enchanted by fairy tales that she began to dream up her own, and by the time she was six years old she had written her first story about a rabbit and a giant bee “Ever since Rabbit and Miss Bee, I have wanted to be a writer, though I rarely told anyone so,” recalls Joanne, “I was afraid they'd tell me I didn’t have a hope."

Throughout her life, Joanne continued to write, filling entire boxes with stories and unfinished novels But due to her lack of confidence, she never approached a publisher with any of her work It wasn’t until later life, when Joanne lost her job and was living in poverty, that she finally devoted her time to writing Then with nothing to lose, she contacted an agency with her first completed manuscript: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone

Joanne’s first novel was rejected by twelve different publishers and eventually found itself in the hands of Nigel Newton, the founder of Bloomsbury Press He did not read the book himself, but gave it to his eight-year-old daughter The girl loved the novel so much that Nigel agreed to take it on; but not without apprehensions “You’ll never make any money out of children’s books,” he warned Joanne

Well, she certainly proved him wrong! To date, she has sold 500 million copies of her novels globally, and the Harry Potter franchise has reaped profits of £15 billion! Now, as the richest author in the world, no publisher in their right mind would dream of turning down one of her books!

Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become extinct or have neared extinction has increased Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300 By the year 2025, it is estimated that they will become extinct

What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused almost entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in material gain but in personal gratification This is an example of the callousness that is contributing to the problem of extinction Animals such as the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of the world’s ecosystem International laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival – and the survival of our planet

Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways Some countries, in an effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animals reserves They then charge admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend on world organizations for support This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to protect the animals Another response to the increase in animal extinction is an international boycott of products made from endangered species This has had some effect, but by itself it will not prevent animals from being hunted and killed

36 What is the main topic of the passage?

A Endangered species B Problems with industrialization C The Bengal tiger D International boycotts

37 The word “callousness” could be best replaced by which of the following?

A insensitivity B indirectness C incompetence D independence

38 Which of the following could best replace the word “allocated”?

A organized B combined C taken D set aside 39 What does the term “international boycott” in the third paragraph refer to?

A Defraying the cost of maintaining national parks B A global increase in animal survival

C A refusal to buy animal products worldwide

D Buying and selling of animal products overseas

Until recently, most American entrepreneurs were men Discrimination against women in business, the demands of caring for families, and lack of business training had kept the number of women entrepreneurs small Now, however, businesses owned by women account for more than $40 billion in annual revenues, and this figure is likely to continue rising throughout the 1990s As Carolyn Doppelt Gray, an official of the Small Business Administration, has noted, "The 1970s was the decade of women entering management, and the 1980s turned out to be the decade of the woman entrepreneur" What are some of the factors behind this trend? For one thing, as more women earn advanced degrees in business and enter the corporate world, they are finding obstacles Women are still excluded from most executive suites Charlotte Taylor, a management consultant, had noted, "In the 1970s women believed if they got an MBA and worked hard they could become chairman of the board Now they've found out that isn't going to happen, so they go out on their own"

In the past, most women entrepreneurs worked in "women's" fields: cosmetics and clothing, for example But this is changing Consider ASK Computer Systems, a $22-million-a-year computer software business It was founded in 1973 by Sandra Kurtzig, who was then a housewife with degrees in math and engineering When Kurtzig founded the business, her first product was software that let weekly newspapers keep tabs on their newspaper carriers-and her office was a bedroom at home, with a

were marketed and sold, ASK began to grow It now has 200 employees, and Sandra Kurtzig owns $66.9 million of stock

Of course, many women who start their own businesses fail, just as men often They still face hurdles in the business world, especially problems in raising money; the banking and finance world is still dominated by men, and old attitudes die hard Most businesses owned by women are still quite small But the situation is changing; there are likely to be many more Sandra Kurtzigs in the years ahead

D were unable to work hard enough to succeed in business

In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe, recycling is the big news People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be

sensitive to the environment Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time The motto of

the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle"

The first step is to reduce garbage In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes

and expensive plastic wrappings A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging: usually paper, a box, and a bag All that packaging is wasted resources People should try to buy things that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils Another way to reduce waste is to buy high- quality products When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new ones - a loss of more resources and more energy For example, if a customer buys a high-quality appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message In the same way, if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the manufacturers To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop

The second step is to reuse It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles After

customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store The manufacturers of the drinks collect the bottles, wash them, and then fill them again The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved In some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice In those places, the garbage dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles

The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle Spent motor oil can be cleaned and

used again Aluminum cans are expensive to make It takes the same amount of energy to make one aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours When people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources

C buy simply-wrapped things D.reuse cups

Question 40: Why is it a waste when customers buy low-quality products?

A Because people will soon throw them away B Because they have to be repaired many times

C Because customers change their ideas all the time D Because they produce less energy

The scarcity of tigers and African elephants is more and more serious They are endangered because poachers hunt them in order to sell tiger pelts and elephant ivory

At least 4,000 elephants are killed each year in order to meet the global demand for ivory, which is used to make carvings, jewelry and other products although it is illegal to sell ivory since 1989 anywhere

“Americans should be aware that there is still a problem with elephant poaching and loss to the illegal ivory trade,” Ginette Hemley, Fund’s vice president for species conservation, told the Washington Post in September And so our message is “Don’t buy it, and don’t take that chance.”

A Wildlife Fund report states that the United States seized 8,300 illegal ivory items between 1995 and 2002 Each week there are about 1,000 ivory auctions, the report said

As for tigers, their parts are used in traditional Chinese medicine Tiger bones are used as a pain reliever in traditional medicine Even tiger’s whiskers are sold because some people in Asia think they are a good-luck charm – like a rabbit’s foot in the United States “Part of our job is education,” said Professor Dillon “The other part is law enforcement So we have more than one strategy.”

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

If you enjoy water sports, Hawaii is the place for you You can go swimming all year round in the warm water You can go sport fishing from the shore or from a boat If you like boats, you can go sailing, canoeing, or windsurfing Or, you can also try some other water sports that are especially popular in Hawaii: surfing, snorkeling and scuba diving.

Surfing is a sport which started in Hawaii many years ago The Hawaiians called it “he’e nalu”, which means “to slide on a wave” If you want to try surfing, you need, first of all, to be a good swimmer You also have to have an excellent sense of balance You must swim out from the beach with your surfboard under your arm When you get to where the waves begin to break, you wait for a calm moment Then you try to stand up on the board The wave will begin to rise under you You must try to steer the board with your feet so you stay on top of the wave The important thing is to

keep your balance and not fall down If you can managethis, you will have an exciting ride all the

way in to the shore.

Scuba diving and snorkeling are two ways to get a close look at the beauty lying below the surface of the ocean The waters off the Hawaiian Islands are clean, clear and warm They contain hundreds of kinds of colorful fish The undersea world is made even more colorful by the coral reefs of red, gold, white and light purple Among these reefs there may be larger fish or sea turtles.

Scuba diving allows you to see the most interesting undersea sights “Scuba” means “Self-contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus”, that is, equipment for breathing and swimming around far under water In Hawaii, you can take special courses to learn how to scuba dive After the courses, you can

get a certificate that will allow you to dive alone Since it can be dangerous, proper instruction and

great care are always necessary when you are scuba diving.

If you are adventurous, you might try snorkeling instead of scuba diving Less equipment is needed, just a face mask, a breathing tube (snorkel) and flippers for your feet It only takes a few minutes to learn how to snorkel Although you cannot dive deep into the water, you can swim with your face below the surface Breathing through the tube, you float on the surface, and keep yourself moving with your flippers Even from the surface like this, there will be plenty of color and beauty to see.

THE SUCCESS OF J K ROWLING

There are few modern-day writers as renowned as Joanne Kathleen Rowling, the creator of Harry Potter With over 30 awards under her belt, she is one of the most successful authors of all time In addition, her novels have famously been adapted into a series of box-office hits These earn her so much income that the 47-year-old could comfortably retire, and live off Harry Potter royalties for the rest of her life! However, this lucrative success story started at the most humble of beginnings, with a talented but insecure writer too afraid to pursue her dreams

Joanne grew up in a house full of books that fuelled her creativity She was so enchanted by fairy tales that she began to dream up her own, and by the time she was six years old she had written her first story about a rabbit and a giant bee “Ever since Rabbit and Miss Bee, I have wanted to be a writer, though I rarely told anyone so,” recalls Joanne, “I was afraid they'd tell me I didn’t have a hope."

Throughout her life, Joanne continued to write, filling entire boxes with stories and unfinished novels But due to her lack of confidence, she never approached a publisher with any of her work It wasn’t until later life, when Joanne lost her job and was living in poverty, that she finally devoted her time to writing Then with nothing to lose, she contacted an agency with her first completed manuscript: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone

Joanne’s first novel was rejected by twelve different publishers and eventually found itself in the hands of Nigel Newton, the founder of Bloomsbury Press He did not read the book himself, but gave it to his eight-year-old daughter The girl loved the novel so much that Nigel agreed to take it on; but not without apprehensions “You’ll never make any money out of children’s books,” he warned Joanne

Well, she certainly proved him wrong! To date, she has sold 500 million copies of her novels globally, and the Harry Potter franchise has reaped profits of £15 billion!
