Private schools existed, but only for the very rich. There were very few public schools because of<br /> the strong sentiment that children who would grow up to be laborers should not “waste” their time on<br /> education but should instead prepare themselves for their life’s work. It was in the face of this public<br /> sentiment that educational reformers set about their task. Horace Mann, probably the most famous of the<br /> reformers, felt that there was no excuse in a republic for any citizen to be uneducated. As Superintendent of<br /> Education in the 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 six months<br /> and improved the quality of teachers by instituting teacher education and raising teacher salaries. Although<br /> these changes did not bring about a sudden improvement in the educational system, they at least increased<br /> public awareness as to the need for a further strengthening of the system.<br /> Question 11: The best title for the passage could be__________.<br /> A.

Massachusetts residents needed something to do with their spare time<br /> Question 14: The word “reformers” in the passage mostly means _________.<br /> A. people who really enjoy teaching<br /> B. people who try to change things for the better<br /> C. people who work for the government<br /> D. people who believe that education is wasted<br /> Question 15: From 1837 to 1848, Horace Mann _______________.<br /> A. raised money for the educational development in Massachusetts<br /> B. funded many projects to improve the educational system for Americans<br /> C. managed education in the state of Massachusetts<br /> D. worked as a headmaster in a school in the state of Massachusetts<br /> Question 16: According to the passage, which sentence is NOT TRUE?<br /> A.

These studies have disclosed that the judgments of interviewers differ markedly and<br /> bear little or no relationship to the adequacy of the job applicants. Of the many reasons why this should be<br /> the case, three in particular stand out.<br /> The first reason is related to an error of judgment known as the halo effect. If a person has one noticeable<br /> good trait, their other characteristics will be judged as better than they really are. Thus, an individual who<br /> dresses smartly and shows self-confidence is likely to be judged capable of doing a job well regardless of his<br /> or her real ability.<br /> Interviewers are also prejudiced by an effect called the primacy effect. This error occurs when<br /> interpretation of later information is distorted by earlier connected information. Hence, in an interview<br /> <br /> situation, the interviewer spends most of the interview trying to confirm the impression given by the<br /> candidate in the first few moments. Studies have repeatedly demonstrated that such an impression is<br /> unrelated to the aptitude of the applicant.<br /> The phenomenon known as the contrast effect also skews the judgment of interviewers. A suitable<br /> candidate may be underestimated because he or she contrasts with a previous one who appears exceptionally<br /> intelligent. Likewise, an average candidate who is preceded by one who gives a weak showing may be<br /> judged as more suitable than he or she really is.<br /> Since interviews as a form of personnel selection have been shown to be inadequate, other selection<br /> procedures have been devised which more accurately predict candidate suitability. Of the various tests<br /> devised, the predictor which appears to do this most successfully is cognitive ability as measured by a variety<br /> of verbal and spatial tests.<br /> Question 18: The word “hindrance” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.<br /> A. assistance<br /> B. encouragement<br /> C. procedure<br /> D. interference<br /> Question 19: The word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to ______.<br /> A. applicants<br /> B. judgments<br /> C. interviewers<br /> D. characteristics<br /> Question 20: This passage mainly discusses the ______.<br /> A.

Techniques that interviewers use for judging job applicants.<br /> Question 21: According to the passage, the halo effect ______.<br /> A. exemplifies how one good characteristic color perceptions<br /> B. takes effect only when a candidate is well-dressed<br /> C. stands out as the worst judgmental error<br /> D. helps the interviewer’s capability to judge real ability<br /> Question 22: The word “confirm” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.<br /> A. verify<br /> B. misrepresent<br /> C. recollect<br /> D. conclude<br /> Question 23: According to the passage, the first impression ______.<br /> A. is the one that stays with the interviewer B. is unrelated to the interviewer’s prejudices<br /> C. can easily be altered<br /> D. has been repeatedly demonstrated to the applicant<br /> Question 24: The author mentions all of the following reasons why interviewing is not an accurate way to<br /> predict candidate suitability EXCEPT the ______.<br /> A. primacy effect<br /> B. halo effect<br /> C. contrast effect<br /> D. cognitive effect<br /> Question 25: The paragraphs following the passage most likely discuss which of the following?<br /> A.
