Included in the puritan emigrants to the Massachusetts colony during this period<br /> were more than 100 graduates of England’s prestigious Oxford and Cambridge universities, and these<br /> universities graduates in the New Word were determined that their sons would have the same<br /> educational opportunities that they themselves had had, Because of this support in the colony for an<br /> institution of higher learning, the General Court of Massachusetts appropriated 400 pounds for a<br /> college in October of 1636 and early the following year decided on a parcel of land for the school;<br /> this land was in an area called Newetowne, which was later renamed Cambridge after its English<br /> cousin and is the site of t he present-day university.<br /> When a young minister named John Harvard, who came from the neighboring town of Charlestowne,<br /> died from tuberculosis in 1638, he willed half of his estate of 1,700 pounds to the fledgling college. In<br /> spite of the fact that only half of the bequest was actually paid, the General Court named the college<br /> after the minister in appreciation for what he had done. The amount of the bequest may not have been<br /> large, particularly by today’s standard, but it was more than the General Court had found it necessary<br /> to appropriate in order to open the college.<br /> Henry Dunster was appointed the first president of Harvard in 1640, and it should be noted<br /> that in addition to serving as president, he was also the entire faculty, with an entering freshmen class<br /> of four students. Although the staff did expand somewhat, for the first century of its existence the<br /> entire teaching staff consisted of the president and three or four tutors.<br /> Question 36: The main idea of this passage is that_________.<br /> A.

It is directly related to<br /> cultivation and the adjectives cultural and cultured are part of the same verbal complex. A person of<br /> culture has identifiable attributes, among them a knowledge of and interest in the arts, literature, and<br /> music. Yet the word culture does not refer solely to such knowledge and interest nor, indeed, to<br /> education. At least from the 19th century onwards, under the influence of anthropologists and<br /> sociologists, the word culture has come to be used generally both in the singular and the plural<br /> (cultures) to refer to a whole way of life of people, including their customs, laws, conventions, and<br /> values.<br /> Distinctions have consequently been drawn between primitive and advanced culture and cultures,<br /> between elite and popular culture, between popular and mass culture, and most recently between<br /> national and global cultures. Distinctions have been drawn too between culture and civilization; the<br /> latter is a word derived not, like culture or agriculture, from the soil, but from the city. The two words<br /> are sometimes treated as synonymous. Yet this is misleading. While civilization and barbarism are<br /> pitted against each other in what seems to be a perpetual behavioural pattern, the use of the word<br /> culture has been strongly influenced by conceptions of evolution in the 19th century and of<br /> development in the 20th century. Cultures evolve or develop. They are not static. They have twists and<br /> turns. Styles change. So do fashions. There are cultural processes. What, for example, the word<br /> cultured means has changed substantially since the study of classical (that is, Greek and Roman)<br /> literature, philosophy, and history ceased in the 20th century to be central to school and university<br /> education. No single alternative focus emerged, although with computers has come electronic culture,<br /> affecting kinds of study, and most recently digital culture. As cultures express themselves in new<br /> forms not everything gets better or more civilized.<br /> The multiplicity of meanings attached to the word made and will make it difficult to define. There is<br /> no single, unproblematic definition, although many attempts have been made to establish one. The<br /> only non-problematic definitions go back to agricultural meaning (for example, cereal culture or<br /> strawberry culture) and medical meaning (for example, bacterial culture or penicillin culture). Since<br /> in anthropology and sociology we also acknowledge culture clashes, culture shock, and<br /> counterculture, the range of reference is extremely wide.<br /> Question 43: Which of the following is NOT stated in the passage?<br /> A. The use of the word culture has been changed since the 19th century.<br /> B. Distinctions have been drawn between culture and civilization.<br /> C. Anthropology and sociology have tried to limit the references to culture.<br /> D. The word culture can be used to refer to a whole way of life of people.<br /> Question 44: The author remarks that culture and civilization are the two words that ______.<br /> A. have nearly the same meaning<br /> B. are both related to agriculture and cultivation<br /> C. do not develop from the same meaning<br /> D. share the same word formation pattern<br /> Question 45: The word "static" in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by "______".<br /> A. regular<br /> B. unchanged<br /> C. dense<br /> D. balanced<br /> Question 46: It is stated in paragraph 1 that a cultured person ______.<br /> 5<br /> <br />
