Reading 1 for questions 161 -167

In the mid-nineteenth century, the United States had tremendous natural resources that could be exploited in order to develop
heavy industry. Most of the raw materials that are valuable in the manufacture of machinery, transportation facilities, and consumer goods
lay ready to be worked into wealth. Iron, coal, and oil-the basic ingredients of industrial growth-were plentiful and needed only the
application of technical expertise, organizational skill, and labor.
One crucial development in this movement toward industrialization was the growth of the railroads. The railway network expanded
rapidly until the railroad map of the United States looked like a spider's web, with the steel filaments connecting all important sources of raw
materials, their places of manufacture, and their centers of distribution. The railroads contributed to the industrial growth not only by
connecting these major centers, but also by themselves consuming enormous amounts of fuel, iron, and coal.
Many factors influenced emerging modes of production. For example, machine tools, the tools used to. make goods, were steadily
improved in the latter part of the nineteenth century-always with an eye to speedier production and lower unit costs. The products of the
factories were rapidly absorbed by the growing cities that sheltered the workers and the distributors. The increased urban population was
nourished by the increased farm production that, in turn, was made more productive by the use of the new farm machinery. American
agricultural production kept up with the urban demand and still had surpluses for sale to the industrial centers of Europe.
The labor that ran the factories and built the railways was recruited in part from American farm areas where people were being displaced
by farm machinery, in part from Asia, and in part from Europe. Europe now began to send tides of immigrants from eastern and southern
Europe –most of whom were originally poor farmers but who settled in American industrial cities. The money to finance this tremendous
expansion of the American economy still came from European financiers for the most part, but the Americans were approaching the day
when their expansion could be financed in their own "money market."

161. What does the passage mainly discuss? 162. The word ingredients in line 3 is closest meaning to …
A. The history of railroads in the United States A. minerals
B. The major United States industrial centers B. products
C. Factors that affected industrialization in the United C. methods

Reading 2 for questions 168 -174

There are two basic types of glaciers, those that flow outward in all directions with little regard for any underlying terrain and those
that are confined by terrain to a particular path.
The first category of glaciers includes those massive blankets that cover whole continents, appropriately called ice sheets. There
must be over 50,000 square kilometers of land covered with ice for the glacier to qualify as an ice sheet. When portions of an ice sheet
spread out over the ocean, they form ice shelves.
About 20,000 years ago the Cordilleran Ice Sheet covered nearly all the mountains in southern Alaska, western Canada, and the
western United States. It was about 3 kilometers deep at its thickest point in northern Alberta. Now there are only two sheets left on Earth,
those covering Greenland and Antarctica.
Any domelike body of ice that also flows out in all directions but covers less than 50,000 square kilometers is called an ice cap.
Although ice caps are rare nowadays, there are a number in northeastern Canada, on Baffin Island, and on the Queen Elizabeth Islands.
The second category of glaciers includes those of a variety of shapes and sizes generally called mountain or alpine glaciers.
Mountain glaciers are typically identified by the landform that controls their flow. One form of mountain glacier that resembles an ice cap
in that it flows outward in several directions is called an ice field. The difference between an ice field and an ice cap is subtle. Essentially,
the flow of an ice field is somewhat controlled by surrounding terrain and thus does not have the domelike shape of a cap. There are
several ice fields in the Wrangell St. Elias and Chugach mountains of Alaska and northern British Columbia.
Less spectacular than large ice fields are the most common types of mountain glaciers: the cirque and valley glaciers. Cirque
glaciers are found in depressions in the surface of the land and have a characteristic circular shape. The ice of valley glaciers, bound by
terrain, flows down valleys, curves around their corners, and falls over cliffs.

168. What does the passage mainly discuss? 171. The word it in line 1 3 refers to …
A. Where major glaciers are located A. glacier
B. How glaciers shape the land B. cap
C. How glaciers are formed C. difference
D. The different kinds of glaciers D. terrain

A. They are confined to mountain valleys. B. ice caps
B. They cover large areas of land. C. valley glaciers
C. They are thicker in some areas than in others. D. ice fields
D. They have a characteristic circular shape.

A. huge A. covering an entire continent
B. strange B. buried within the mountains
C. cold C. spreading into the ocean

Reading 3 for questions 175 -180

Tools and hand bones excavated from the Swartkrans cave complex in South Africa suggest that a close relative of early humans
known as Australopithecus robustus may have made and used primitive tools long before the species became extinct 1 million years ago.
It may even have made and used primitive tools long before humanity's direct ancestor, Homo habilis, or "handy man," began doing so.
Homo habilis and its successor, Homo erectus, coexisted with Australopithecus robustus on the plains of South Africa for more than a
million years.
The Swartkrans cave in South Africa has been under excavation since the 1940's. The earliest fossil-containing layers of
sedimentary rock in the cave date from about 1.9 million years ago and contain extensive remains of animals, primitive tools, and two or
more species of apelike hominids. The key recent discovery involved bones from the hand of Australopithecus robustus, the first time
such bones have been found.
The most important feature of the Australopithecus robustus hand was the pollical distal thumb tip, the last bone in the thumb. The
bone had an attachment point for a "uniquely human" muscle, the flexor pollicis longus, that had previously been found only in more
recent ancestors. That muscle gave Australopithecus robustus an opposable thumb, a feature that would allow them to grip objects,
including tools. The researchers also found primitive bone and stone implements, especially digging tools, in the same layers of
sediments.
Australopithecus robustus were more heavily built-more "robust" in anthropological terms-than their successors. They had broad
faces, heavy jaws, and massive crushing and grinding teeth that were used for eating hard fruits, seeds, and fibrous underground plant
parts. They walked upright, which would have allowed them to carry and use tools. Most experts had previously believed that Homo
habilis were able to supplant Australopithecus robustus because the former's ability to use tools gave them an innate superiority. The
discovery that Australopithecus robustus also used tools means that researchers will have to seek other explanations for their extinction.
Perhaps their reliance on naturally occurring plants led to their downfall as the climate became drier and cooler, or perhaps Homo habilis,
with their bigger brains, were simply able to make more sophisticated tools.

175. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that all of the 178. What does the third paragraph mainly discuss?
following may have made and used tools EXCEPT … A. Features of Australopithecus robustus' hand
A. Australopithecus robustus B. Purposes for which hominids used tools
B. Homo erectus C. Methods used to determine the age of fossils
C. Homo habilis D. Significant plant fossils found in layers of sediment
D. Australopithecus robustus' ancestors

176. Which of the following does the author mention as the 179. It can be inferred from the description in the last
most important recent discovery made in the Swartkrans paragraph that Australopithecus robustus was so named
cave? because of the species' …
A. Tools A. ancestors
B. Teeth B. thumb
C. Plant fossils C. build
D. Hand bones D. diet

177. The word them in line 18 refers to … 180. The word extensive in line 7 is closest meaning to …
A. tools A. numerous
B. Homo habilis B. exposed
C. Australopithecus robustus C. ancient
