Section Three: Reading Comprehension
Questions 1-9
In 1972, a century after the
first national park in the United States was
established at
Yellowstone, legislation was
passed to create the National Marine Sanctuaries
Program.
The intent of this legislation was to
provide protection to selected coastal habitats
similar
To that existing for land areas
designated as national parks. The designation of
an areas
5) a marine sanctuary indicates that
it is a protected area, just as a national park
is. People
are permitted to visit and
observe there, but living organisms and their
environments may
not be harmed or removed.
The National Marine Sanctuaries Program is
administered by the National Oceanic
and
Atmospheric Administration, a branch of the United
States Department of Commerce.
10) Initially,
70 sites were proposed as candidates for sanctuary
status. Two and a half decades
later, only
fifteen sanctuaries had been designated, with half
of these established after
1978. They range
in size from the very small (less than I square
kilometer) Fagatele Bay
National Marine
Sanctuary in American Samoa to the Monterey Bay
National Marine
Sanctuary in California,
extending over 15,744 square kilometers.
15)
The National Marine Sanctuaries Program is a
crucial part of new management
practices in
which whole communities of species, and not just
individual species, are
offered some degree
of protection from habitat degradation and
overexploitation. Only
in this way can a
reasonable degree of marine species diversity be
maintained in a setting
that also maintains
the natural interrelationships that exist among
these species.
20) Several other types of
marine protected areas exist in the United States
and other
countries. The National Estuarine
Research Reserve System, managed by the United
States government, includes 23 designated and
protected estuaries. Outside the United
States, marine protected-area programs exist
as marine parks, reserves, and preserves.
Over 100 designated areas exist around the
periphery of the Carbbean Sea. Others range

Questions
10-17
From their inception, most rural
neighborhoods in colonial North America included
at least one carpenter, joiner, sawyer, and
cooper in woodworking; a weaver and a tailor
for clothing production; a tanner, currier,
and cordwainer (shoemaker) for fabricating leather
objects; and a blacksmith for metalwork,
Where stone was the local building material, a
5) mason was sure to appear on the list of
people who paid taxes. With only an apprentice as
an assistant, the rural artisan provided the
neighborhood with common goods from furniture
to shoes to farm equipment in exchange for
cash or for “goods in kind” from the customer’s

provided by the customer
wove cloth of yam
spun at the farm from the wool of the family
sheep; made chairs or tables
10) from wood cut
in the customer’s own woodlot; produced shoes or
leather breeches from
cow, deer, or
sheepskin tanned on the farm.
Like their
farming neighbors, rural artisans were part of an
economy seen, by one
historian, as “an
orchestra conducted by nature.” Some tasks could
not be done in the winter,
other had to be
put off during harvest time, and still others
waited on raw materials that were
15) only
produced seasonally. As the days grew shorter,
shop hours kept pace, since few artisans
could afford enough artificial light to continue
work when the Sun went down. To the best
of
their ability, colonial artisans tried to keep
their shops as efficient as possible and to
regularize their schedules and methods of
production for the best return on their investment
in time, tools, and materials, While it is
pleasant to imagine a woodworker, for example,
20) carefully matching lumber, joining a chest
together without resort to nails or glue, and
applying all thought and energy to carving
beautiful designs on the finished piece, the time
required was not justified unless the
customer was willing to pay extra for the quality—

therefore, often found it necessary to employ as
many shortcuts and economics as possible
while still producing satisfactory products.

Questions 18-28
Cities develop as a result
of functions that they can perform. Some functions
result
directly from the ingenuity of the
citizenry, but most functions result from the
needs of
the local area and of the
surrounding hinterland (the region that supplies
goods to the
city and to which the city
furnishes services and other goods). Geographers
often make
5) a distinction between the
situation and the site of a city. Situation refers
to the general
position in relation to the
surrounding region, whereas site involves physical
characteristics of the specific location.
Situation is normally much more important to
the continuing prosperity of a city. if a city
is well situated in regard to its hinterland, its
development is much more likely to continue.
Chicago, for example, possesses an almost
10)
unparalleled situation: it is located at the
southern end of a huge lake that forces east-west
transportation lines to be compressed into its

and water transport routes. It also overlooks
what is one of the world’s finest large
farming regions. These factors ensured that
Chicago would become a great city regardless
of the disadvantageous characteristics of the
available site, such as being prone to flooding
15) during thunderstorm activity.
Similarly, it can be argued that much of New York
City’s importance stems from its
early and
continuing advantage of situation. Philadephia and
Boston both originated at
about the same time
as New York and shared New York’s location at the
western end of
one of the world’s most
important oceanic trade routes, but only New York
possesses an
20) easy-access functional
connection (the Hudson-Mohawk lowland) to the vast
Midwestern
hinterland. This account does not
alone explain New York’s primacy, but it does
include
several important factors. Among the
many aspects of situation that help to explain why
some cities grow and others do not, original
location on a navigable waterway seems
particularly applicable. Of course, such
characteristic as slope, drainage, power
25)
resources, river crossings, coastal shapes, and
other physical characteristics help to
determine city location, but such factors are
normally more significant in early stages
of
city development than later.

Questions 29-10
The largest of the
giant gas planets, Jupiter, with a volume 1,300
times greater than
Earth’s, contains more than
twice the mass of all the other planets combined.
It is thought
to be a gaseous and fluid
planet without solid surfaces, Had it been
somewhat more massive,
Jupiter might have
attained internal temperatures as high as the
ignition point for nuclear
5) reactions, and
it would have flamed as a star in its own right.
Jupiter and the other giant
planets are of a
low-density type quite distinct from the
terrestrial planets: they are
composed
predominantly of such substances as hydrogen,
helium, ammonia, and methane,
unlike
terrestrial planets. Much of Jupiter’s interior
might be in the form of liquid, metallic
hydrogen, Normally, hydrogen is a gas, but under
pressures of millions of kilograms per
10)
square centimeter, which exist in the deep
interior of Jupiter, the hydrogen atoms might
lock together to form a liquid with the
properties of a metal. Some scientists believe
that
the innermost core of Jupiter might be
rocky, or metallic like the core of Earth.
Jupiter rotates very fast, once every 9.8 hours.
As a result, its clouds, which are composed
largely of frozen and liquid ammonia, have been
whipped into alternating dark and bright
15)
bands that circle the planet at different speeds
in different latitudes. Jupiter’s puzzling
Great Red Spot changes size as it hovers in the
Southern Hemisphere. Scientists speculate
it
might be a gigantic hurricane, which because of
its large size (the Earth could easily fit
inside it), lasts for hundreds of years.
Jupiter gives off twice as much heat as it
receives from the Sun. Perhaps this is primeval
20) heat or beat generated by the continued
gravitational contraction of the planet. Another
starlike characteristic of Jupiter is its
sixteen natural satellites, which, like a
miniature model
of the Solar System,
decrease in density with distance—from rocky moons
close to Jupiter
to icy moons farther away.
If Jupiter were about 70 times more massive, it
would have
become a star, Jupiter is the
best-preserved sample of the early solar nebula,
and with its
satellites, might contain the
most important clues about the origin of the Solar
System.

Questions 41-50
The tern “art deco” has
come to encompass three distinct but related
design trends
of the 1920’s and 1930’s. The
first was what is frequently referred to as
“zigzag
moderne” –the exotically ornamental
style of such skyscrapers as the Chrysler Building

in New York City
and related structures such as the Paramount
Theater in Oakland,
California The word
“zigzag” alludes to the geometric and stylized
ornamentation of
zigzags, angular patterns,
abstracted plant and animal motifs, sunbursts,
astrological
imagery, formalized fountains,
and related themes that were applied in mosaic
relief.
and mural form to the exterior and
interior of the buildings. Many of these buildings
were
shaped in the ziggurat form, a design
resembling an ancient Mesopotamian temple tower
that recedes in progressively smaller stages
to the summit, creating a staircase-like effect.
The second manifestation of art deco was the
1930’s streamlined moderne” style—a
Futuristic-looking aerodynamic style of
rounded corners and horizontal bands known as
“speed stripes.” In architecture, these
elements were frequently accompanied by round
windows, extensive use of glass block, and
flat rooftops.
The third style, referred to
as cither “ international stripped classicism,” or
simply
“ classical moderne,” also came to the
forefront during the Depression, a period of
severe
economic difficult in the 1930’s. This
was amore conservative style, blending a
simplified modernistic style with a more
austere form of geometric and stylized relief
sculpture and other ornament, including
interior murals. May buildings in this style
were erected nationwide through government
programs during the Depression .
Although art
deco in its many forms was largely perceived as
thoroughly modern,
it was strongly influenced
by the decorative arts movements that immediately
preceded
it. For example, like “art nouveau”
(1890-1910), art deco also used plant motifs, but
regularized the forms into abstracted
repetitive patterns rather than presenting them as
flowing, asymmetrical foliage, Like the
Viennese craftspeople of the Wiener Werkstatte,
art deco designers worked with exotic
materials, geometricized shapes, and colorfully
ornate patterns. Furthermore, like the
artisans of the Arts and Crafts Movement in
England
and the United States, art deep
practitioners considered it their mission to
transform the
domestic environment through
well-designed furniture and household accessories.
