This revolution in building was made possible by improved sawmills that could quickly cut boards to standard sizes and the lower cost of lumber that resulted There were also new machines that could produce huge quantities of inexpensive nails Skeptics predicted that a strong wind could send such houses flying through the air like balloons and, at first ‘balloon frame’ was a term of derision But the light frames proved practical, and wooden houses have been basically built this way ever since

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
(24)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
C Several of its inscriptions were decoded within a few months of its discovery D Most of its inscriptions have still not been decoded
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

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
