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 technology of the North American colonies did not differ strikingly from that of Europe, but in one respect, the colonists enjoyed a great advantage Especially by comparison with Britain, Americans had a wonderfully plentiful supply of wood The first colonists did not, as many people imagine, find an entire continent covered by a climax forest Even along the Atlantic seaboard, the forest was broken at many points Nevertheless, all sorts of fine trees abounded, and through the early colonial period, those who pushed westward encountered new forests By the end of the colonial era, the price of wood had risen slightly in eastern cities, but wood was still extremely abundant The availability of wood brought advantages that have seldom been appreciated Wood was a foundation of the economy Houses and all manner of buildings were made of wood to a degree unknown in Britain Secondly, wood was used as fuel for heating and cooking Thirdly, it was used as the source of important industrial compounds, such as potash, an industrial alkali; charcoal, a component of gunpowder; and tannic acid, used for tanning leather The supply of wood conferred advantages but had some negative aspects as well Iron at that time was produced by heating iron ore with charcoal Because Britain was so stripped of trees, she was unable to exploit her rich iron mines But the American colonies had both iron ore and wood; iron production was encouraged and became successful However, when Britain developed coke smelting, the Colonies did not follow suit because they had plenty of wood and besides, charcoal iron was stronger than coke iron Coke smelting led to technologic innovations and was linked to the emergence of the Industrial Revolution In the early nineteenth century, the former colonies lagged behind Britain in industrial development because their supply of wood led them to cling to charcoal iron Question 48: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A They were more expensive than American houses B They were generally built with imported materials C They were typically smaller than homes in North America D They were usually built from materials other than wood Question 54: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a source of industrial compounds? A potash B charcoal C gunpowder D tannic acid Question 55: Why does the author mention gunpowder in paragraph 3? A To illustrate the negative aspects of some industrial processes B To remind readers that the colonial era ended in warfare C To give an example of a product made with wood compounds D To suggest that wood was not the only important product of the colonies Question 56: The phrase follow suit in paragraph means A the same thing B make an attempt C have the opportunity D take a risk Question 57: According to the passage, why was the use of coke smelting advantageous? A It led to advances in technology B It was less expensive than wood smelting C It produced a stronger type of iron than wood smelting D It stimulated the demand for wood Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to show the underlined part that needs correction in each of the following questions Question 58: My mother prefers(A) cooking(B) at home than (C) eating (D) out Question 59: They were all (A) looking forward to spend (B) their holiday at (C) the seaside the following year.(D) Question 60: In a critical review of an experiment, a researcher should question (A) the validity,(B) the reliable,(C) and the importance (D) of any test results Question 61: Until the invention (A) of the telephone, skyscrapers (B) were not consider (C) very practical (D) Question 62: She must lose (A) her way;
