VI READING COMPREHENTION: (10PTS)
Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each of the questions below. Passage 1: (5PTS)
As the twentieth century began, the importance of formal education in the United States increased The frontier had mostly disappeared and by 1910 most Americans lived in towns and cities Industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life combined with a new emphasis upon credentials and expertise to make schooling increasingly important for economic and social mobility Increasingly, too, schools were viewed as the most important means of integrating immigrants into American society
The arrival of a great wave of southern and eastern European immigrants at the turn of the century coincided with and contributed to an enormous expansion of formal schooling By 1920 schooling to age fourteen or beyond was compulsory in most states, and the school year was greatly lengthened Kindergartens, vacation schools, extracurricular activities, and vocational education and counseling extended the influence of public schools over the lives of students, many of whom in the larger industrial cities were the children of immigrants Classes for adult immigrants were sponsored by public schools, corporations, unions, churches, settlement houses, and other agencies
Reformers early in the twentieth century suggested that education programs should suit the needs of specific populations Immigrant women were once such population Schools tried to educate young women so they could occupy productive places in the urban industrial economy, and one place many educators considered appropriate for women was the home
Although looking after the house and family was familiar to immigrant women, American education gave homemaking a new definition In pre-industrial economies, homemaking had meant the production as well as the consumption of goods, and it commonly included income-producing activities both inside and outside the home, in the highly industrialized early-twentieth-century United States, however, overproduction rather than scarcity was becoming a problem Thus, the ideal American homemaker was viewed as a consumer rather than a producer Schools trained women to be consumer homemakers cooking, shopping, decorating, and caring for children "efficiently" in their own homes, or if economic necessity demanded, as employees in the homes of others Subsequent reforms have made these notions seem quite out-of-date
61 The paragraph preceding the passage probably discusses _
A the industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life the United States in the 19th century B the formal schooling in the United States in the nineteen century
C the urbanization in the United States in the nineteen century
D the most important means of integrating immigrants into American society in the nineteen century
(6)A the expanding economic problems of schools B the growing number of schools in frontier communities
C an increase in the number of trained teachers D the increased urbanization of the entire country 63 The word "means" in line is closest in meaning to _
A qualifications B method C advantages D probability 64 The phrase "coincided with" in line is closest in meaning to _
A happened at the same time as B ensured the success of C was influenced by D began to grow rapidly
65 According to the passage, one important change in United States education by the 1920's was that _
A the amount of time spent on formal education was limited C adults and children studied in the same classes
B new regulations were imposed on nontraditional education D most places required children to attend school
66 “Vacation schools and extracurricular activities” are mentioned in line to illustrate _ A activities that competed to attract new immigrants to their programs
B alternatives to formal education provided by public schools C the importance of educational changes
D the increased impact of public schools on students
67 According to the passage, early-twentieth century education reformers believed that _ A special programs should be set up in frontier communities to modernize them
B corporations and other organizations damaged educational progress C different groups needed different kinds of education
D more women should be involved in education and industry 68 The word "it" in paragraph refers to _
A education B consumption C production D homemaking 69 Women were trained to be consumer homemakers as a result of _
A scarcity in the highly industrialized early-twentieth-century United States
B economic necessity in the highly industrialized early-twentieth-century United States
C income-producing activities in the highly industrialized early-twentieth-century United States D overproduction in the highly industrialized early-twentieth-century United States

(7)A pilot cannot fly by sight alone In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing in dense fog, a pilot must use radar, an alternative way of navigating Since human eyes are not very good at determining speeds of approaching objects, radar can show a pilot how fast nearby planes are moving The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what happens when one shouts in a cave The echo of the sounds against the walls helps a person determine the size of the cave With radar, however, the waves are radio waves instead of sound waves Radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 300,000 kilometres in one second A radar set sends out a short burst of radio waves Then it receives the echoes produced when the waves bounce off objects By determining the tune it takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a trained technician can determine the distance between the radar set and other objects The word “radar” in fact gets its name from the term “radio detection and ranging” “Ranging” is the term for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set Besides being of critical importance to pilots radar is essential for air traffic control tracking ships at sea, and for tracking weather systems and storms
71 What is the main topic of this passage?
A Alternatives to radar B The nature of radar C History of radar D Types of ranging
72 According to the passage, what can radar detect besides location of objects? A shape B size C speed D weight 73 The word “exemplified" in the passage can be replaced by .
A “illustrated’ B “specified” C “resembled” D “justified” 74 The word "shouts” in the passage most closely means .
A “shoots” B ‘"whispers” C “exclaims” D" “yells” 75 Which of the following words best describes the tone of this passage?
A humorous B argumentative C explanatory D imaginative
76 According to the passage, the distance between a radar set and an object can be determined by . A the term “ranging" used for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set
B the time it takes for the radio waves to produce echoes and bounce off the object
C the tune it takes for a burst of radio waves to produce echoes when the waves bounce off the object D the time it takes for the echoes produced by the radio waves to return to the radar set
77 Which type of waves does radar use?
A radio B sound C tidal D heat 78 The word “tracking” in the passage most closely means .
A sending B ranging C repairing D searching for 79 Which of the following would most likely be the topic of the next paragraph?
A A history of flying B Other uses of radar C The technology used by pilots D Uses of some technology. 80 What might be inferred about radar?
A It was developed from a study of sound waves C It gave birth to the invention of the airplane. B It takes the place of a radio D It has improved navigational safety.
