You should decide on the choice that best answers the question or completes the statement. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
When your parents advise you to "get an education" in order to raise your income, they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide manpower for your society, but not so much that you prove an embarrassment to your society.
Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you will be occupationally dead unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison, and you can successfully drop out in grade school.
Get a college degree, if possible. With a B.A., you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you go for a master's degree, make sure it is an M.B.A.
Do you know, for instance, that long-haul truck drivers earn more per year than full professors? Yes, the average 1977 salary for those truckers was $24000. While the full professors managed to earn just $23030.
A Ph.D. is the highest degree you can get. Except for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, if you pursue such a degree in any other field, you will face a dim future. There are more Ph.D.s unemployed or underemployed in this country than any other part of the world.
If you become a doctor of philosophy in English or history or anthropology or political science or languages or-worst of all-in philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands. Not for our needs, mind you, but for our demands.
Thousands of Ph.D.s are selling shoes, driving cars, waiting on table, and endlessly filling out applications month after month. They may also take a job in some high school or backwater college that pays much less than the janitor earns.
You can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you.
21. According to the writer, what the society expects of education is to turn out people who _____.
A. will not be a disgrace to society B. will become loyal citizens
C. can take care of themselves D. can meet the nation's demands as a source of manpower
22. Many Ph.D.s are out of job because _____.
A. they are improperly educated B. they are of little commercial value to their society
C. there are fewer jobs in high schools D. they prefer easier jobs that make more money
23. The nation is only interested in people _____.
A. with diplomas B. who specialize in physics and chemistry
C. who are valuable to the gross national product D. both A and C
24. Which of the following is not true?
A. Bernard Shaw didn't finish high schools, nor did Edison.
B. One must think carefully before pursuing a master degree.
C. The higher your education level, the more money you will earn.
D. If you are too well-educated, you'll be overeducated for society's demands.
25. The writer sees education as _____.
A. a means of providing job security and financial security and a means of meeting a country's demands for technical workers
B. a way to broaden one's horizons
C. more important than finding a job
D. an opportunity that everyone should have

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage :
There were several reasons why the Industrial Revolution started in Great Britain rather than in France, the other great powers of the day. In the first place, Britain had the money necessary to finance the larger enterprises. England's supremacy on the seas had encouraged commerce, and Englishmen had been gathering wealth through their commerce and industry. The newly rich class in that country were not the aristocratic group, but merchants and businessmen who were willing to devote themselves to industry and scientific agriculture. The wealth of France, on the other hand, was largely in the hands of the nobility, and they were not willing to do the necessary work to develop industry. In the second place, Great Britain had undertaken very early the manufacturing of inexpensive and more practical products for which there would be ever-growing demand from the people, especially the new middle class. On the other hard, France produced articles in the luxury class. These could never be turned out in quantities because they demanded individuality. England was the producer of goods that were produced in quantities, and if she could find a cheaper means of producing them, her markets would grow. So she was ready for methods that would make it possible to manufacture in large quantities. In the third place, for a long time England had large numbers of semiskilled workers. When the feudal system broke down in England and the manors were turned to sheep raising, numbers of Englishmen went to the towns. There they engaged in weaving, making shoes, wood carving and many other occupations that developed skills. When the industrial revolution began, these men were available for the work on the new machines. Moreover they were free men who could move from place to place as the need for workers arose. This had not been the case in France, which was still chiefly an agricultural country with peasants bound to their masters in many ways so they could not easily move to the cities. In the fourth place, coal was abundant in Great Britain, and a large amount of this cheap fuel was necessary for ruing the factories. There was coal in northern France, too, but France was late in tapping such resources because really everyone depended directly or indirectly on farming for his living.
26. Britain had the money necessary to develop industry because _____.
A. Britain was much wealthier than France at that time
B. Britain government encouraged the development of industry
C. the merchants and businessmen were willing to finance the industry
D. the aristocratic group was willing to develop the industry
27. According to the passage, French people attached importance to _____.
A. the quantities of the articles B. the individuality of the articles
C. the practicality of the articles D. the price of the articles
28. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The wealth of France was largely in the hands of new middle class.
B. French people were bound to the new machines.
C. France was more likely to produce goods in qualities.
D. France could not get free workers necessary to the industry.
29. When the industrial revolution began, Englishmen _____.
A. were busy amassing wealth through commerce and industry
B. had found a cheaper means of producing goods needed in qualities
C. depended on farming for their living
D. could move from place to place as the need for workers arose
30. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The demand for luxury goods was limited.
B. Industrial Revolution was the result of the interaction of various factors.
C. French people preferred farming to industry and commerce.
D. Coal was very important to people's life.

Part III Cloze (10%, 20 minutes)
Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. You should fill in each blank with a word that best fits into the passage.
soul precisely indifference inspire choice
reality fulfillment joining quitting departure
At noon today I say goodbye to New York forever, thus (31) that growing number of people who, for one reason or another, have decided the city is no longer to our liking. This subject — the death of the city of New York — continues to be disinterred by those of us who should know better. In (32) , of course, New York is not a dying city. The eighty million of people who huddle together on that tiny rock do so through (33) , and while they are aware there is an undiagnosed ailment in the city’s bloodstream, they are willing to see it through. It must have been fun to live in New York once; perhaps it will be again. Those of us who are (34) are the impatient ones who lack the imagination to believe that the bright dream will glow again.
The sad aspect of my (35) was that there was so little sadness connected with it, and after ten years it seemed to me that I should have looked back with some slight mistiness in my eyes. A lot of literature has been written on this subject — the disenchanted New Yorker — and I’ve read much of it, but none of the cases seem to fit (36) my feelings about the city. I don’t hate New York; there is really nothing there to hate and certainly very little to love. It is a city of indifference, and that’s the problem. I found I could only give (37) in return.
I don’t understand this, but there is a lot about New York I don’t understand. Mainly I don’t understand why the city has no (38) . Vienna almost suffocates the Viennese with everyday love and care, Pairs city has managed to (39) her own with a sense of their (40) ; but the key to New York’s character is that it doesn’t really care about any thing.

Against TV?
Watching television more than two hours a day early in life can lead to attention problems later in adolescence, according to a study released on Tuesday.
(46) The roughly 40 percent increase in attention problems among heavy TV viewers was observed in both boys and girls.
The children aged 5 to 11 watched an average of 2.05 hours of weekday television. From age 13 to 15, time spent in front of the tube rose to an average of 3.1 hours a day.
Those who watched more than two hours, and particularly those who watched more than three hours, of television per day during childhood had above-average symptoms of attention problems in adolescence.
(47) Young children who watched a lot of television were more likely to continue the habit as they got older, but even if they did not, the damage was done, the report said.
"This suggests that the effects of childhood viewing on attention may be long lasting," Landhuis wrote.
Landhuis offered several possible explanations for the association.
One was that (48) the rapid scene changes common to many TV programs may over stimulate the developing brain of a young child, and could make reality seem boring by comparison.
"Hence, children who w
