For each question, decide on the basis of the passage which one of the choices best answer the question.The Second World War was a watershed event for all Americans. It brought the Great Depression to an end and marked the beginning of significant social and political changes for women and racial minorities. Chinese American women played an important role in these long-term changes.Encouraged by motives ranging from Chinese nationalism to American patriotism, Chinese American women initiated an outpouring of highly organized activities in such areas as fund-raising, propaganda, civil defense, and Red Cross work. While some women in San Francisco’s Chinatown joined in the armed services, many others went to work in businesses outside their neighborhood and in defense industries for the first time.1.The passage is mainly about(A)the contributions of Chinatown to the war effort(B)different jobs held by women during the Second World War(C)how the Second World War end the Great Depression(D)how the second World War affect Chinese American women(E)how the feminism influence Chinese American women2.The author’s attitude toward Chinese American women can be best described as(A)confused(B)envious(C)sarcastic(D)sympathetic(E)appreciative3.It is most likely that Chinese American women set going well-organized activities during theSecond World because(A)they were concerned about their own property(B)they wanted to take care of their family(C)they were forced by the American government(D)they were eager to devote themselves to a country(E)they have to fight against the Great Depression4.According to the passage, all of the following is mentioned to be possible jobs taken byChinese American women during the Second World War EXCEPT(A)raising money for national defense(B)tending elders in their neighborhood(C)working in military factories(D)nursing wounded soldiers(E)promoting the patriotic spirit5.It can be inferred from the passage that “armed services” is most likely to be found in(A)the neighborhood of Chinatown(B)San Francisco’s Red Cross work(C)business industries(D)the front line of Second World War(E)Chinese organized activities6.This passage is most likely found in a(n)(A)novel written in World War two(B)textbook on American history(C)letter to a beloved family member(D)autobiography of a famous person(E)editorial in a newspaper in 1940sIt hung in Napoleon’s bedroom until moving to the Louvre in 1804. It caused traffic jams in New York for seven weeks as 1.6 million people jostled to see it. In Tokyo viewers were allowed ten seconds each. The object of all this attention was the world’s most famous portrait, the Mona Lisa. Historically, its subject was nobody special, probably the wife of a Florentine merchant named Giocondo. But her portrait set the standard for High Renaissance paintings in many important ways. The use of perspective, which created the illusion of depth behind Mona Lisa’s head, and triangular composition established the importance of geometry in painting. It diverged from the stiff, profile portraits that had been the norm by displaying the subject in a relaxed, natural, three-quarter pose.One of the first easel paintings intended to be framed and hung on a wall, the Mona Lisa fully realized the potential of the new oil medium. Instead of proceeding from outlined figures, as painters did before, Leonardo modeled features through light and shadow. Starting with dark undertones, he built the illusion of three-dimensional features through layers and layers of thin, transparent glazes. This technique rendered the whole, as Leonardo said, “without lines of borders, in the manner of smoke.” His colors ranged from light to dark in a continuous gradation of subtle tones, without crisp separating edges. The forms seemed to emerge from, and melt into, shadows.7.The main purpose of this passage is toA)illustrate the characteristics and the value of a well-known masterpieceB)introduce the painting technique of an important genreC)describe the contribution of a distinguished artistD)discuss the influence of an artistic reformE)refute the norm of an aesthetic practice8.The author cites Napoleon’s bedroom to illustrate theA)ambition of NapoleonB)fame of the Mona LisaC)mystery of the Mona LisaD)long history of the Mona LisaE)political use of the Mona Lisa9.By mentioning the identity of Giocondo, the model of Mona Lisa, the author contrastGiocondo’sA)humble origins and her portrait’s monetary valueB)uncomely appearance and her portrait’s beautyC)ordinary status and her portrait’s artistic importanceD)immoral habit and her portrait’s fameE)early death and her portrait’s eternity10.According to the passage, the traditional principle on displaying subject is characterized asA)romanticB)rigidC)looseD)freeE)illusive11.The passage lists which of the following as features of the Mona Lisa?I.graze layersII.subtle changeIII.imposing backdropIV.outlined figureA)I onlyB)II onlyC)I and II onlyD)I, II, and III onlyE)I and IV only12.As it is used in line 7, the word “diverge” most nearly means(A) differ(B) display(C) symbolize(D) build(E) comeGeologists Harris and Gass hypothesized that the Red Sea rift developed along the line of a split (a splice in the Earth’s crust), and that significant observable differences in the composition of the upper layers of rocks deposited on either side of the split give clues to the different natures of the underlying igneous rocks.Other geologists argued that neither the upper rock layer nor the underlying igneous rocks on the one side of the rift differ fundamentally from the layers on the other side. These geologists believe, therefore, that there is inadequate evidence to conclude that a split underlies the rift.In response, Harris and Gass asserted that the upper rock layers on the two sides of the rift had not been shown to be of similar age, structure, or geochemical content. Furthermore, they cited new evidence that the underlying igneous rocks on either side of the rift contain significantly different kinds of rare metals.13.Which of the following has been observed according to the passage?I.the origin of the Red Sea riftII.the difference existed on underlying rocks on either sidesIII.the difference existed on upper rocks on either sidesIV.the split underlying the Red Sea riftA)I onlyB)II onlyC)III onlyD)II and III onlyE)III and IV only14.According to the passage, the most powerful evidence supporting Harris and Gass’shypothesis would beA)the fact that rifts grow along with splits have been observed elsewhereB)the fact that rifts grow on Earth’s crust have been observed elsewhereC)the fact that upper rock gives indications on underlying rock have been observed elsewhereD)the upper rock on either side of the Red Sea rift are totally unlikeE)the underlying rock on either side of the Red Sea rift are totally unlike15.Those who disagree with Harris and Gass’s hypothesis in this passage challenge theA)validity of its evidenceB)strictness of its reasoningC)sufficiency of its proofD)rightness of its motivationE)feasibility of its practice16.

According to such an agreement, a labor union talks for wages and working conditions for all workers in a business, and all workers are required to belong to the union. Since 1947, 20 states have adopted right-to-work laws. Much of the research concerning right-to-work laws implies that such law has not actually had a significant impact. This point of view, however, has not gone uncriticized. Thomas Carroll said that the conclusions drawn by previous researchers are limited on the assumption that, unless right-to-work laws significantly reduce union membership within a state, they have no effect. Carroll argues that the right-to-work laws “do matter” in that such laws make differences in real wages across states. Specifically, Carroll indicates that while right-to-work laws may not “destroy” unions by reducing the absolute number of unionized workers, they do stop the spread of unions and thereby reduce wages within right-to-work states. Because the counteracting power of unions is weakened in right-to-work states, manufacturers and their suppliers can act jointly in competitive labor markers, thus lowering wages in the affected industries.23. This passage is primarily to(A)refute the criticism against a law(B)validate the justice of a judgment(C)introduce the content of an agreement(D)compare the point of two group of lawyers(E)illustrate the mechanism unions influence wages24. “right-to-work” law in this passage is enacted to(A)free workers from unions(B)introduce workers to unions(C)improve working condition for workers(D)help suppliers against manufacturers(E)launch counterattack against criticizers25. Both Carroll and previous researchers in this passage agree that “right-to-work” law(A)hardly made any influence(B)effectively prohibit union shop agreement(C)importantly increase the wage of workers(D)notably weakened the competitiveness of workers(E)insignificantly affect the number of union members26. The passage suggests that in term of workers’ wages, the spread of unions is(A)useless(B)harmful(C)beneficial(D)dispensable(E)unhelpful27. According to the passage, Carroll’s attitude toward “previous researchers” is likely to be(A)condemnation(B)appreciation(C)indifference(D)opposition(E)sarcasm28. In right-to-work state, the following statement can be inferred from the passage EXCEPT(A)some workers are not belong to the labor union(B)some workers are not included in the negotiations of the labor union(C)manufacturer have bigger influence on workers’ wages than the past(D)the membership in labor unions stop to increase(E)union shop agreement is held to some degree29. What is the primary purpose of this passage?A)showing evidence to a doubtable viewpointB)giving examples of a wide-spread phenomenonC)finding the motivation of a historical actionD)challenging the validity of an early conclusionE)explaining the economic status of a group of people30.
