Part V : Reading comprehension (61-80)
Directions : Read each passage carefully. Then choose the correct answer in each
item.
Part 1
Making dictionaries is a job that never ends. The reason is that languages
are always changing. New terms are needed for new ideas, so new words are formed. Old things
develop and change, so that the old words receive new meanings. ,Nice- is a good example. ,Nice-
once meant silly and not educated-just two hundred years ago. However, people8s feelings about the
word changed very much- although slowly Now the word ,nice- means pleasing, well done, and
attractive to look at. The writers of dictionaries have had to write many different meanings as the

passage 2
The speed of communication means that all people of the world have a
new responsibility. People in different countries must try harder to understand each other. An
example is that people with different religions must try to understand each other8s beliefs and values
even if they do not accept them. Sometimes their cultures are quite different. What one group
considers a normal part of one culture might be bad of impolite to the other people. That kind of
difference is a possibility of misunderstanding.
People must learn not to judge others, but to accept them as they are. Then understanding between
cultures can be better. Misunderstanding can be avoided.

differences.
b. people in each nation have their own cultures and beliefs
c. one possible misunderstanding happens because of a refusal to accept others8
values

Passage 3
There are other ways that people interfere with nature. Some of these ways are not so easy
to understand. For example, a marshy bog may not be good for everything, but it serves an
important purpose. The soft, wet soil of a bog allows water to reach the underground reservoirs.
What happens to the balance of nature if the bog is filled in? Many housing development projects
have been built where marshes once were. The basements of the houses are likely to have problems.
They are likely to fill up with water, to flood in rainy seasons. Huge storm sewers are built to carry
away the water from wet areas. These huge pipes prevent wet basements in the houses of the
community.
Storm sewers solve part of the flooding problem, but they also cause another problem.
The huge pipes carry off rain water, but they also upset the balance of nature even more. The sewer
takes away water that would return to the underground reservoirs. Less and less water can seep into
the soil. The problem gets worse because hard surfaces like asphalt and concrete prevent the soil
from absorbing water. The once endless supply of pure filtered water from natural wells and springs
in now limited. Nature8s recycling system is in danger.
66. The following statements are true except
a. The marshy bogs can help absorb water into the ground.
b. Houses built on marshy land are likely to have problems
c. Huge storm sewers are built to carry away water from wet areas.
d. Storm sewers solve and important problem in the water recycling system of
nature.
67. What does a storm sewer do to the balance of nature?
a. It causes problems in the balance of nature by taking away water that should
return to the underground reservoirs.
b. It solves problems in the balance of nature by absorbing water into the soil.
c. It filters water from natural wells and springs to prevent germs.
d. It carries off rain water and lets water seep into the ground.
68. Why does the author say ,nature8s recycling system is in danger.-
a. Because storm sewers from seeping into the soil.
b. Because nature8s recycling system does not filter water from storm sewers.
c. Because man builds asphalt and concrete pavement which helps water seep
into the ground.
d. None of the above is correct.
Passage 4
Deep springs is an unusual college. If is high in the White Mountains in California, not in
a college town. The campus is a collection of weather-beaten ranch buildings, with no beautiful
classroom structures. The only college like thing about Deep Springs is its library. Students can
study from the 17,0000 books twenty-four hours a day. The library is never crowded-Deep Springs8
student body is only twenty-four well-qualified young men. In addition, there are only five full-time
professors. These teachers believe in the idea of Deep Springs. They need to believe in it ! They do
not get much money. In fact, their salaries are about $ 9,000 a year plus room and board. The school
gives the young teachers (as well as the students) something more important than money.
,There is no place like Deep Springs.- Says Ned Serling, a second-year student from New
York State. ,Most colleges today are much the same, but Deep Spring is not afraid to be different.-
Serling says that students at his college are in a situation quite unlike any other school. Students are
there to learn, and they cannot run away from problems. There is no place to escape to !
At most colleges, students can close their books and go to a movie. They can go out to
restaurants or to parties. Deep Springs students have completely different alternatives. They can talk
to each other or to their teachers. Another possible activity is to go to the library to study. They
might decide to do some work. The student who wants to do none of these activities can go for a
walk in the desert. Deep Springs is far from the world of restaurants and movie house! There is not
even a television set on campus.
Deep Springs is an experiment. When Lucien L. Nunn, a gold mine owner, started Deep
Springs as a two Fyear college, he was not sure about it. He knew that the idea for his school might
not work. Nunn wanted to take students to a working situation. He wanted the students to develop
respect for physical work. That is why Deep springs students must work twenty hours a week. Most
of them help to support the school by working on the school8s cattle ranch. Others do ordinary jobs
like library work. At Deep Springs, work-study is a part of the program. Nunn wanted his students
to fid strength within themselves. He believed that this goal was possible through hard work.
Student work includes student government. The students at Deep Springs College make
many of the important decisions. There are only two required courses- Composition and public
speaking. The students choose the other courses such as mathematics, foreign languages, and other
traditional liberal arts courses. The students which of the freshmen will be asked to come back. The
students also help to choose new teachers. Students are responsible for school discipline, too. When
a student breaks a rule, the other students decide what the discipline will be.
Deep Springs, which was started in 1917, is a successful school in nearly every way. For
example, the students at Deep Springs are happy even though they must stay on campus all
semester. They learn to be independent and do not miss the outside world. When they return to
ordinary colleges to finish their educations, they are different from other students. The have found
strengths in side themselves from the experience at Deep Springs. They are, on the whole, more
likely to succeed than other students. Of the former Deep Springs students,29 percent have Ph.D.
degrees, 14 percent have become doctors, and 11 percent have become lawyers. Many others are in
the fields of education and public service
What is the reason for Deep Springs8 success? A student, Bill Masters, says, ,We have a
sense of community and cooperation that other schools do not have.- David Schubert, an English
teacher, says that the students learn from the situation. ,The students lean things that I learned from
my first job. Also people have to learn to get along with each other here.- Deep Springs is so
small.- Robert Spark, a university president and former Deep Springs student, has another reason.
Spark says, ,Deep springs is a way of helping people teach themselves.- Deep Springs teaches
maturity. The students learn to govern their lives.-
