Read the following passage then choose the best option to question.<br /> <br /> The growth of cities, the construction of hundreds of new factories, and the spread of railroads<br /> in the United States before 1850 had increased the need for better illumination. But the lighting in<br /> American homes had improved very little over that of ancient times. Through the colonial period,<br /> homes were lit with tallow candles or with a lamp of the kind used in ancient Rome- a dish of fish oil<br /> or other animal or vegetable oil in which a twisted rag served as a wick. Some people used lard, but<br /> they had to heat charcoal underneath to keep it soft and burnable. The sperm whale provided a superior<br /> burning oil, but this was expensive. In 1830 a new substance called “camphene” was patented, and it<br /> proved to be an remained expensive, had an unpleasant odor, and also was dangerously explosive.<br /> Between 1830 and 1850 it seemed that the only hope for cheaper illumination in the United States was<br /> the wider use of gas. In the 1840s American gas manufacturers adopted improved British techniques<br /> for producing illuminating gas from coal. But the expense of piping gas to the consumer remained so<br /> high that until mid- century gas lighting was feasible only in urban areas, and only for public buildings<br /> for the wealthy. In 1854 a Canadian doctor, Abraham Gesner, patented a process for distilling a pitch<br /> like mineral found in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia that produced illuminating gas and an oil that<br /> he called “kerosene” (from “keros”, the Greek word for wax, and “ene” because it resembled<br /> camphene). Kerosene, though cheaper than camphene, had an unpleasant odor, and Gesner never made<br /> his fortune from it . But Gesner had aroused a new hope for making an illuminating oil from a product<br /> coming out of North American mines.<br /> 46. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason why better lighting had become necessary<br /> by the mind- nineteenth century?<br /> 2<br /> <br /> A. development of railroads.<br /> B. demand for better medical facilities<br /> C. increases in the number of new factories.<br /> D. growth of cities<br /> 47. The phrase “served as” is closest meaning to ……<br /> A. differed from<br /> B. functioned as<br /> C. rested upon<br /> D. reacted to<br /> 48. What can be inferred about the illuminating gas described in the paragraph?<br /> A. It was first developed in the United States.<br /> B. It was not allowed to be used in public buildings.<br /> C. It was not widely available until mid- century.<br /> D. It had an unpleasant smell.<br /> 49. The word “it” refers to ……<br /> A. fortune<br /> B. odor<br /> C. camphene<br /> D. kerosene<br /> 50. Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?<br /> A. a description of events in chronological order<br /> B. a comparison of two events<br /> C. the statement of a theory and possible explanations<br /> D. an analysis of scientific findings<br /> II. Fill in each gap (from 51 to 60) with ONE word to complete the text.<br /> <br /> Books are written to provide knowledge and good books enrich the mind. By putting (51)……<br /> under the influence of superior mind, we develop (52)…… mental powers. Through good (53)…… we<br /> learn that people are everywhere the (54)…… in all ages and in all countries. This (55)…… improves<br /> our love (56)…… others and helps us to live in peace with them. We also (57)…… that the world was<br /> made not for man alone but for every creature that, can feel hunger and thirst, warmth and cold.<br /> Though (58)…… may be possible for us to travel round the world and (59)…… the things happening<br /> today, it is not possible for us to see the things (60)…… happened in the past but good books enable us<br /> to see not only into the most remote regions of the world today, but also into the world in which our<br /> ancestors lived.<br /> III. Read the text. Then answer questions from 61 to 65.<br /> <br /> Clothes can tell a lot about a person. Some people like very colorful clothes because they want<br /> everyone to look at them and they want to be the center of things. Other people like to wear nice<br /> clothes, but their clothes are not colorful or fancy. They do not like people to look at them. Clothes<br /> today are very different from the clothes of the 1800s. One difference is the way they look. For<br /> example, in the 1800s all women wore dresses. The dresses all had long skirts. But today women do<br /> not always wear dresses with long skirts. Sometimes they wear short skirts. Sometimes they wear<br /> pants. Another difference between 1800s and today is the cloth. In the 1800s, clothes were made only<br /> from natural kinds of cloth. They were made from cotton, wool, silk. But today, there are many kinds<br /> of man-made cloth. A lot of clothes are now made from nylon, rayon, or polyester.<br /> 61. Why do some people like very colorful clothes?<br /> 62. Were the clothes of the 1800s the same as clothes today?<br /> 63. What do sometimes women wear today?<br /> 64. What were clothes made from in the 1800s?<br /> 65. What can we call cloth made of nylon or rayon?<br /> IV. Decide if these statements (from 66 to 70) are True (T), False (F), or Not Given (NG).<br /> <br /> The way we live today is significantly different from the way our forefathers lived fifty or sixty<br /> years ago. Thanks to modern technology, today we have got just about every amenity we need to live a<br /> comfortable life. Some people believe that modern technology has made our lives more complicated.<br /> They are of the opinion that we should learn to do away with it. Is that possible? Let’s examine.<br /> Modern technology might have made our lives more complicated, but one has got to admit that it has<br /> improved our lives in several other ways. For example, cars and buses have made commuting easier.<br /> Electricity has literally brightened our lives. Air conditioning has made summer months tolerable. Cell<br /> phones and internet make it possible to stay connected wherever we are. Home appliances are a boon<br /> for homemakers. Technology has also considerably improved our productivity.<br /> 3<br /> <br /> On the flip side, technology has made our lives complicated too. There is no escaping from the alwayson connectivity. Before the advent of cell phones and internet, taking a break was a whole lot easier.<br /> People just had to pack their bags and go to the place they like to unwind. Now that cell phone<br /> terminals are available in virtually every part of the world, people can never escape from their work or<br /> problems. Even when they are on a family vacation, few people can resist the temptation to check their<br /> work email. This need to stay constantly connected has only made our lives more stressful. Modern<br /> technology has also made us physically inactive and prone to develop several lifestyle diseases.<br /> Does that mean that we should do without modern technology? Well, it is not as easy as it sounds.<br /> Technology is addictive. It is not easy to live without the technological innovations we are used to<br /> enjoying. Can anybody now think of a world where we don’t have access to electricity or telephone?<br /> The truth is that we can’t.<br /> After analyzing the situation it is felt that though modern technology has made our lives more<br /> complicated, it is not something that we can do without. What we need to do is to use it responsibly.<br /> 66. Today we have every amenity we need to live comfortably.<br /> 67. Cell phones and internet make it impossible to stay connected when we are away from others.<br /> 68. Technology has also considerably helped the education.<br /> 69. Modern technology made us physically inactive and prone to develop several lifestyle diseases.<br /> 70. Using modern technology responsibly is not necessary.<br /> D. WRITING (3.0/10)<br /> I.
