Reading Comprehension (40%) Directions: This part consists of two sections. In Section A, there are three passagesfollowedbyatotalof15multiple-choicequestions.InSectionB,there isonepassagefollowedbyatotalof5short-answerquestions.Readthepassages and write your answers on the Answer Sheet. Section A Multiple-Choice Questions (30%) Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. Passage 1 The Industrial Revolution had several roots, one of which was a commercial revolution that, beginning as far back as the sixteenth century, accompanied Europe’ s expansion overseas. Both exports and imports showed spectacular growth, particularly in England and France. An increasingly larger portion of the stepped-up commercial activity was the result of trade with overseas colonies. Imports included a variety of new beverages, spices, and ship’s goods around the world and brought money flowing back. Europe’s economic institutions, particularly those in England, were strong, had wealth available for new investment, and seemed almost to be waiting for some technological breakthrough that would expand their profit-making potential even more. The breakthrough came in Great Britain, where several economic advantages created a climate especially favorable to the encouragement of new technology. One was its geographic location at the crossroads of international trade. Internally, Britain was endowed with easily navigable natural waterway, which helped its trade and communication with the world. Beginning in the 1770’s, it enjoyed a boom in

canal building, which helped make its domestic market more accessible. Because water transportation was the cheapest means of carrying goods to market, canals reduced prices and thus increased consumer demand. Great Britain also had rich deposits of coal that fed the factories springing up in industrial and consumer goods. Another advantage was Britain’s large population of rural, agricultural wage earners, as well as cottage workers, who had the potential of being more mobile than peasants of some other countries. Eventually they found their way to the cities or mining communities and provided the human power upon which the Industrial Revolution was built. The British people were also consumers; the absence of internal tariffs, such as those that existed in France or Italy or between the German states, made Britain the largest free-trade area in Europe. Britain ’ s relatively stable government also helped create an atmosphere conducive to industrial progress. 31. The word “potential” in paragraph 1 is closet in meaning to ________. A. rate B. dominance C. capacity D. method 32. According to paragraph 1, all of the following conditions created a favorable environment for the Industrial Revolution EXCEPT ________. A. an active overseas trade B. the stability of financial establishments C. a decline in the types of goods available for export D. the accessibility of money for investment 33. According to paragraph 2, what enabled the development of British technology? A. an accessible water transportation system B. a mild climate and plenty of fresh water. C. a fuel supply that supported industrial growth. D. Both A and C. 34. Paragraph 3 suggests that the Industrial Revolution did not originate outside Great Britain because ________.

A. the labor force in other countries could not as easily relocate to cities. B. workers in other countries preferred working independently rather than in groups. C. there was a lack of cooperation between agricultural and cottage workers in other countries. D. governments in other countries placed limits on economic gain. 35. The phrase “conducive to” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________. A. controlled by ….B. favorable to ….C. restricted to ….D. dependent on Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage. Passage 2 Tunas, mackerels, and billfishes (marlins, sailfishes, and swordfish) swim continuously. Feeding, courtship, reproduction, and even "rest" are carried out while in constant motion. As a result, practically every aspect of the body form and function of these swimming "machines" is adapted to enhance their ability to swim. Many of the adaptations of these fishes serve to reduce water resistance (drag). Interestingly enough, several of these hydrodynamic adaptations resemble features designed to improve the aerodynamics of high-speed aircraft. Though human engineers are new to the game, tunas and their relatives evolved their “high-tech” designs long ago. Tunas, mackerels, and billfishes have made streamlining into an art form. Their bodies are sleek and compact. The body shapes of tunas, in fact, are nearly ideal from an engineering point of view. Most species lack scales over most of the body, making it smooth and slippery. The eyes lie flush with the body and do not protrude at all. They are also covered with a slick, transparent lid that reduces drag. The fins are stiff, smooth, and narrow, qualities that also help cut drag. When not in use, the fins are tucked into special grooves or depressions so that they lie flush
