52. (I) The Romantic Age is a term used to describe life
and literature in England in the late eighteenth and
early nineteenth centuries. (II) Many of the most
important English writers of the period turned away
from the values and ideas characteristic of the Age of
Reason toward what they perceived as a more
daring, individual and imaginative approach to both
literature and life. (III) In general, they placed the
individual rather than society, at the centre of their
vision. (IV) The Industrial Revolution helped make
England prosperous and powerful, but it involved
exploitation of the workers. (V) They tended to be

when working with early historical chronologies.
(II) This system can be confirmed and refined using
astronomy. (III) The chronological system requires
careful reconstruction, and any list of rulers or kings
needs to be reasonably complete. (IV) The list,
although it may reliably record the number of years in
each reign, has still to be linked with our own
calendar if it is not to remain merely a “floating
chronology”. (V) The artifacts, features, or structures
to be dated at a particular site have somehow to be
related to the historical chronology, perhaps by their
association with an inscription referring to the ruler of
the time.

video screens and talking to one another across the
width of the planet using wireless devices. (III) Future
weapons will dispense entirely with the clumsy darts
and wires. (IV) Yet today these scenes are
commonplace. (V) So it is fitting that new high-tech
devices also have similarities with fictional

science-fiction series.

loneliness, but rarely help him to improve his writing.

in public stature, but his work often deteriorates.

The US Supreme Court is not a radical institution, nor
is it likely to become one as a result of any particular
presidential election. The risks for the judiciary in
presidential elections are a lot lower than many
people imagine. This is not because there are no
significant ideological or methodological differences
among judges. Differences do exist, and they display
party affiliation to some extent. And they matter – not
just on public issues such as abortion rights and
racial discrimination but also in those procedures that
actually guide the way lower courts handle a large
variety of legal cases. That said, the courts have
pretty strong institutional defences against radicalism
of any kind. For one thing, the judiciary’s power is
spread among more than 800 federal judges, no one
of whose views matter all that much in the broad
scheme of things. Even on the Supreme Court the
idiosyncrasies or ideological extremism of any one
judge can have only a limited effect. Without four likeminded
judges, his or her views are just noise.

57. It is pointed out in the passage that though there
are differences of opinion within the judiciary,
----.
A) they play only a very small role in their
deliberations
B) they are far fewer than they used to be
C) these in no way concern party politics
D) it is almost impossible to avoid radicalism
E) this only becomes apparent at election times

58. According to the passage, the Supreme Court of
the US ----.
A) is feared by the lower courts
B) is a breeding ground for radicalism
C) is cut off from the lower courts of justice
D) avoids, as far as possible, public issues like
abortion
E) can only be slightly affected by a presidential
election

59. According to the passage, all rulings of the
Supreme Court ----.
A) are reconsidered after an election
B) can be influenced by the federal judges
C) must have had the support of at least five judges
D) aim at preventing ideological extremism
E) are, to a very large extent, influenced by party
affiliation

60. It is clear from the passage that the US judiciary
system ----.
A) reflects the opinions of the president
B) is well-protected against any kind of extremism
C) consists of the Supreme Court and the various
lower courts and all act independently of each
other
D) takes its character, not from the Supreme Court,
but from the federal courts
E) faces pressure from many quarters

American schools need more time if they are to teach
efficiently. The school year is fixed at or below 180
days in all but a handful of states – down from more
than 190 in the late nineteenth century, when
Saturday-morning sessions were common. The
instructional day is only about six hours, of which
much is taken up with nonacademic matters. In 1994,
a national commission calculated that in four years of
high school a typical American student puts in less
than half as much time on academic subjects as do
students in Japan, France and Germany. Extending
the school day or the school year can get expensive
and complicated, and reducing nonacademic
electives and physical education brings complaints
from parents and students alike. But there is one
quite cheap and uncomplicated way to increase
study time: add more homework. You may not be
surprised to learn that homework raises student
achievement, at least in the higher grades. For young
children homework appears not to be particularly
helpful. Even among older students it is hard to be
sure of the extent to which more homework may lead
to higher achievement.

61. We understand from the passage that school
programmes in America ----.
A) are of little concern to the parents, and so they
tend to ignore them
B) are at present being reviewed by a national
commission
C) do not put much emphasis on academic learning
D) are run on similar lines to those in the rest of the
world
E) have been extensively revised since 1994

62. It is pointed out in the passage that in some
countries, like Japan, France and Germany, ----.
A) the school curricula allow roughly equal time for
academic and nonacademic subjects
B) the school year is far too long and this makes it
unproductive
C) students are given less homework than their
American counterparts
D) achievement correlates well with the length of
the school day
E) the amount of time students spend on academic
learning far exceeds that spent by American
students

63. According to the passage, any extension of the
instructional day in American schools ----.
A) is not to be recommended on account of the
expenses involved
B) would arouse much discontent among parents
and students
C) needs to be reviewed by a national commission
D) should aim to bring them up to the level of
Japanese schools
E) would have to have the approval of all the states

64. It is clear from the passage that the writer ----.
A) is urging schools to assign more homework to
students of all grades
B) is doubtful about the benefits of homework for
lower-grade students
C) believes that the school day should be extended
D) is opposed to reducing the school year from 190
to 180 days
E) is convinced of the need for more electives,
including physical education

During the Renaissance, especially in the sixteenth
century, it was customary to debate the preeminence
of the arts, particularly as between painting
and sculpture. The more commonly accepted opinion
is represented by Benvenuto Cellini, who thought
that sculpture is eight times as great as any other art
based on drawing, because a statue has eight views
and they must all be equally good. A painting, he
said, is nothing better than the image of a tree, man,
or other object. In fact, the difference between
painting and sculpture is as great as between a
shadow and the object casting it. Leonardo, on the
other hand, thought that painting is superior to
sculpture because it is more intellectual. By this he
meant that as a technique it is infinitely more subtle
in the effects that it can produce, and infinitely wider
in the scope it offers to invention or imagination.
Michelangelo, when the question was referred to
him, in his wise and direct way said that things which
have the same end are themselves the same, and
that therefore there could be no difference between
painting and sculpture except differences due to
better judgment and harder work.

65. We understand from the passage that
Michelangelo’s view concerning the relative
merits of painting and sculpture ----.
A) does not reflect his own position as an artist
B) can be regarded as a humourous attempt to
bring about a peace between Cellini and
Leonardo
C) is a light-hearted attempt to avoid the issue
D) is unbiased and favours neither
E) has no relevance outside the Renaissance
period

66. As pointed out in the passage, according to
Cellini ----.
A) the generally held belief on the pre-eminence of
the arts was totally unfounded
B) Leonardo’s skills as a painter did not exceed
those of Michelangelo
C) the Renaissance debate on the pre-eminence of
the arts should not be taken seriously
D) the art of the sculptor is less demanding than
that of the painter
E) a painting is inferior to a work of sculpture
because it has no solidity

67. It is clear from the passage that, during the 16th
century, ----.
A) the art of Leonardo was more highly regarded
than that of Cellini
B) there was much discussion as to the hierarchy of
the arts
C) sculptors and painters liked to cooperate on
major projects
D) most artists were both sculptors and painters
E) Leonardo and Michelangelo were keen rivals but
each admired the work of the other

68. The point is made in the passage that, for
Leonardo, ----.
A) painting provided a greater capacity for artistic
creativity
B) Cellini’s understanding of the arts was a grossly
distorted one
C) painting came easily, but sculpture offered many
challenges
D) the practice of any art requires a great deal of
invention and imagination
E) the effects of a statue are far more subtle than
those of a painting

Governments have learned to value innovation these
days for good reason. Far from being simply some
missing factor in the growth equation, innovation is
now recognized as the single most important
ingredient in any modern economy. It actually
accounts for more than half of economic growth in
America and Britain. In short, it is innovation, more
than the application of capital or labour, that keeps
the world economy going. As a result, economists
have decided that the innovators of the world are due
some special recognition. It is not possible to
recognize all the countless innovations that have
helped to spread wealth, health and human
happiness around the world. But a handful of people
who have made the biggest contribution to the
wealth-creation process in their own fields over the
past few years, have been nominated for awards.

69. One point made in the passage is that, due to
innumerable innovations, ----.
A) the world economy has acquired a certain level
of uniformity
B) the American economy has under-performed
C) capital has now returned to the fore in economic
policies
D) the quality of human life on earth has greatly
improved
E) countries like Britain have fewer labour problems
than formerly

70. It is pointed out in the passage that government
economic policies ----.
A) rely more and more on the management of the
labour force
B) now take into account the importance of
innovation
C) regard the wealth-creation process as the main
target
D) in Britain have undergone very little change over
many decades
E) throughout the world are undergoing many
changes

71. It is pointed out in the passage that the American
and British economies ----.
A) have been in the forefront in the creation of
wealth
B) have tended to ignore innovations
C) have grown largely on account of innovation
D) have had an adverse effect upon the world’s
growth equation
E) have always been primarily concerned with the
prosperity of their citizens

72. It is clear from the passage that, although a very
large number of innovations have been made, ----.
A) only a few innovators have received awards for
their work
B) the majority of them have turned out to be
economically unfeasible
C) they have had no significant impact on the world
economy
D) none of them have received any special
recognition
E) there has been no noticeable improvement in the
human condition anywhere

A nonprofessional-class working mother, who has
been forced unwillingly into the labour market, is
oppressed by various unique forces. She is
oppressed by the fact that her work is oftentimes
physically exhausting, ill-paid, and devoid of benefits
such as health insurance and paid sick leave. She is
oppressed by the fact that it is impossible to put a
small child in reliable day-care if you make only a
minimum wage, and she is oppressed by the terrible
child-care options that are available at an
inexpensive rate. She is oppressed by the fact that
she has nothing to fall back on. If she is out of work,
and her child needs a visit to the doctor and
antibiotics, she may not be able to afford those things
and will have to treat her sick child with unprescribed
medications, which themselves are far from cheap.

73. We understand from the passage that a working
mother, without a career, ----.
A) works so that her child can enjoy good day-care
B) is usually granted several fringe benefits
C) rarely stays in her job for a long period

does

labour market
C) and her child gets ill, she probably cannot get
proper medical help

a new one

benefits

them

Because a play presents its action through actors, its
impact is direct, immediate, and heightened by the
actor’s skills. Instead of responding to words on a
printed page, the spectator sees what is done and
hears what is said. The experience of the play is
registered directly upon his senses. It may therefore
be fuller and more compact. Where the work of prose
fiction may tell us what a character looks like in one
paragraph, how he moves or speaks in a second,
what he says in a third, and how his auditors respond
in a fourth, the acted play presents this material all at
once. Simultaneous impressions are not separated.
Moreover, this experience is interpreted by actors
who may be highly skilled in rendering nuances of
meaning and strong emotion. Through facial
expression, gesture, speech rhythm, and intonation,
they may be able to make a speaker’s words more
expressive than can the reader’s unaided
imagination. Thus, the performance of a play by
skilled actors, expertly directed, gives the playwright
a tremendous source of power.

77. It is clear from the passage that unlike a staged
play, a work of prose fiction ----.
A) mainly focuses on character and action
B) is very effective in arousing the reader’s
emotions
C) allows no possibility of multiple interpretation
D) makes much use of various literary devices
E) makes its impact slowly

78. It is emphasized in the passage that the
effectiveness of a play’s action ----.
A) disappears as soon as the performance is over
B) is maintained only temporarily depending on the
audience
C) is largely created through facial expression and
the playwright’s skill
D) is increased both through skilled performance
and through professional direction
E) can be further strengthened through character
analysis

79. It is pointed out in the passage that the
performance of a play on the stage ----.
A) enables the audience to be more closely
involved
B) has the same impact on the audience as that of
the printed text
C) depends much more on the director than on the
actors for its success
D) can best be accomplished through close
attention to the playwright’s instructions
E) should not guide the way the audience feels

80. Clearly, the passage is mainly concerned with
----.
A) the techniques a director makes most use of in
the staging of a play
B) the sense of immediacy and the intensity that a
well-staged play offers
C) the role of imagination in prose fiction and drama
D) the question of how a play can best be
performed
E) the relationship between the actors and the
writer of a play
