The origins of baseball probably strectch back to 1839 when Abler Doubleday, a civil engineer student, laid out a diamond-shaped field at Cooperstown, New York, and attempted to standardize the rules governing the playing of such games as town ball and four old cats, the ancestor of baseball. By the end of the Civil War, interest in the game had grown rapidly. Over 200 teams or clubs existed, some of which toured the co untry playing rivals; they belonged to a national association of “Baseball Players” that had proclaimed a set of standard rules. These teams as amateurs or semi-professionals, but as the game waxed in popularity, it offered opportunities for profit, and the first professional team, the Cincinnati Red stockings, appeared in 1869. Other cities soon fielded professional teams, and in 1876 the present National League was organized chiefly by Albert Spalding. Soon a rival league appeared, the American Associaton. Competition between the two was intense, and in 1883 they played a post-season contest, the first “world’s series”. The American Association eventually collapsed, but in 1890 the American League was organized.

A. recognize the professional teams B. enable more professional teams to be set up C. provide a governing authority for baseball. D.authorize amateur and profesional teams to combine 39. According to the passage, at the turn of the century the only remaining baseball organizations were __.

Mark your choice on the answer sheet. Education in Bolivia, as in many other areas of Bolivia life, has a divide between Bolivia’s rural and urban areas. Rural illiteracy levels remain high, even as the rest of the country becomes increasingly lit erate. This disparity stems partly from the fact that many children living in rural areas are forced to contribu te economically to their family households and thus are much less likely to attend school. On average, children from rural areas attend school for 4.2 years, while children in urban areas receive an average of 9.4 years of education. A gender divide also exists. Females, on average, receive about 1.5 years less schooling than males. The female illiteracy rate is 19.6 % while that for males is 7.7 %. The country’s illiteracy level as a whole, 13- 14%, is comparably higher than in other South American countries. The problems with Bolivia ed ucation are not necessarily attributeable to lack of funding. Bolivia devotes 23% of its annual budget to educational expenditures, a higher percentage than in most other South American countries, albeit from a smaller national budget. A comprehensive seven-year plan of education reform has made some significant changes. Initiated in 1994, the plan decentralized educational funding in order to meet diverse local needs, improved teacher training and curricula, and changed the school grade system. Resistance from teachers’ unions, however, has slowed implementation of some of the intended reforms. 35. Most of the children in rural areas in Bolivia are illiterate because _______________________. A. they don’t want to go to school B. they are made to stay at home to help thei families C. they find it difficult to learn to read and write D. there is s shortage of teachers and schools in Bolivia 36. On average, children from urban areas attend school for _______________________________. A. 1.5 years B. 4.2 years C. 7.4 years D. 9.4 years 37. The female illiteracy rate in Bolivia is ______________________________________________. A. 7.4% B. 13% C. 19.6% D. 23% 38. The word “annual” in this passage is closest in meaning to _________________________ ____. A. every four months B. every year C. every five years D. every ten years 39. Which of the following sentences is NOT true? A. In Bolivia males receive more schooling than females. B. Bolivian illiteracy level is higher than in other South American countries. C. The lack of funding is the main reason for causing illiteracy in Bolivia. D. Bolivia spends less money on education than most other South American countries Question 25 – 29: Read the following passage carefully and then choose the best answer to the questions by circling the corresponding letter A, B, C or D.

However, because life was hard and the necessities of day-to-day living took up their time, it was commo n for recreation to be combined with activities necessary for survival. One example of such a form of recreation was logrolling. Many frontier areas were heavily wooded, and in order to settle an area it was necessary to remove the trees. A settler could cut down the trees alone, but help was needed to move the cut trees. After a settler had cut a bunch of trees, he would then invite his neighbors over for a logrolling. A logrolling is a community event where families got together for a combination o f work and fun. The women would bring food and have a much needed and infrequent opportunity to relax and chat with frie nds, the children would play together exuberantly, and the men would hold lively competitions that involved r olling logs from place to place as quickly as possible. This was a day of fun for everyone involved, but as its foundation was the need to clear the land. 26. The main idea of the passage is that in America’s frontier days ___________________.

We can, however, simplify the idea to make it more understandable. We can compare the planet Earth to a person of forty-six years of age. Nothing is known about the first seven years of this person’s life. Very little information exists about the middle period either. It was only at the age of forty-two that the Earth began to flower. Dinosaurs and great reptiles did not appear until one year ago, when the planet was forty five. Mammals only arrived eight months ago. In the middle of last week, man-like apes became ape-like men and began to communicate with each other. Last week, the Ice Age covered the Earth. Modern man has only been around for four hours. During the last hour man discovered agricultu re. The Industrial Revolution and the rise of large cities began just sixty seconds ago. During that short time, modern man has made a rubbish tip of the Earth. In one minute, he has increased his numbers to terrible proportions and has caused the death of hundreds of species of animals. He has robbed and destroyed the planet in his search for fuels. Now he stands, like a violent, spoiled child, delighted at the speed of his rise to power, on the edge of the final mass destruction and of killing all the life which exist s in the solar system. 26. The passage tells us that _________________________________________________________. A. a great deal is known about how the Earth was created. B. life on Earth began relatively recently.

Man is a land animal, but he also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, nearly two thirds of the world’s population live within 80 kilometers of the sea coast. In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many man’s needs. T he list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology is impressive. Oil and gas explorations ha ve been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor are ready to b e mined. Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by Oriental people. Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm te mperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer p ossible use as a source of energy. Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong, new material has made this possible. The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2000 the problems that prevent us from exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy source of t he sea will be largely solved. 36. The major things that the sea offers man are _____________________________. A. fish and oil B. minerals and oil C. food, energy sources, and minerals D. ocean currents and waves 37.
