Forests covered a large part of the nation; later gas, oil and minerals were<br /> found in unbelievable amounts. There was a great abundance of very fertile soil. Forests,<br /> prairies, streams and rivers abounded with wildlife. So vast were these resources that it seemed<br /> that they could never be used up. So forests were destroyed to make way for farmland. Grass<br /> lands and prairies were plowed and harrowed. Minerals and oil were used in great quantities to<br /> supply a young industrial nation. Almost every river became the scene of factories, mills and<br /> power companies. Mammals and birds were slaughtered for food and sport.<br /> Within a short time, the results were obvious. Floods caused millions of dollars worth of<br /> damage yearly. The very fertile soil was washed away or blown up in great clouds. The<br /> seemingly inexhaustible oil and minerals showed signs of depletion. Rivers were filled with silt<br /> from eroding farms and wastes from factories. Many of the rivers were made unfit for fish.<br /> Several species of birds disappeared, and some mammals seemed on the verge of going. Future<br /> timber shortages were predicted. In short, Americans soon became to realize that some sort of<br /> conservation program must be set up, if future as well as present Americans were to share in<br /> the resources that are the heritage of every American.<br /> Question 36: The title that best expresses the main theme or subject of this selection is<br /> ________.<br /> A.

Private schools existed, but only for the very rich. There were<br /> very few public schools because of the strong sentiment that children who would grow up to be<br /> laborers should not “waste” their time on education but should instead prepare themselves for<br /> their life’s work. It was in the face of this public sentiment that educational reformers set<br /> about their task. Horace Mann, probably the most famous of the reformers, felt that there was<br /> no excuse in a republic for any citizen to be uneducated. As Superintendent of Education in the<br /> state of Massachusetts from 1837 to 1848, he initiated various changes, which were soon<br /> matched in other school districts around the country. He extended the school year from five to<br /> six months and improved the quality of teachers by instituting teacher education and raising<br /> teacher salaries. Although these changes did not bring about a sudden improvement in the<br /> educational system, they at least increased public awareness as to the need for a further<br /> strengthening ofthe system.<br /> Question 43: The best title for the passage could be_____.<br /> A.
