PART 5. READING COMPREHENSION (10 P.) READING 1:
Read the passage carefully and then find the correct answer from A, B, C, D to the questions that followed. (5 P.)
As Christmas evolved in the United States, new customs were adopted and many old ones
were reworked. The legend of Santa Claus, for example, had origins in Europe and was brought
by Dutch settlers to New York in the early 18th century. Traditionally, Santa Claus – from the
Dutch Sinter Klaas – was depicted as a tall, dignified, religious figure riding a white horse
through the air. Known as Saint Nicholas in Germany, he was usually accompanied by Black
Peter, an elf who punished disobedient children. In North America he eventually developed into
a fat, jolly old gentleman who had neither the religious attributes of Saint Nicholas nor the strict
disciplinarian character of Black Peter.
Santa’s transformation began in 1823, when a New York newspaper published the poem A
Visit from Saint Nicholas, which Clement Clark Moore had written to amuse his daughter. The
poem introduced many Americans to the story of a kindly saint who flew over housetops in a
reindeer-drawn sleigh. Portraits and drawings of Santa Claus by American illustrator Thomas
Nast further strengthened the legend during the second half of the 19th century. Living at the
North Pole and assisted by elves, the modern Santa produced and delivered toys to all good
children. By the late 19th century he had become such a prominent figure of American folklore
that in 1897, when Virginia O’Hanlon wrote to the New York Sun newspaper asking if Santa was
real, she received a direct answer: “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus”.

Read the passage carefully and then find the correct answer from A, B, C, D to the questions that followed. (5 P.)
After 1785, the production of children's books in the Untied States increased but
remained largely reprints of British books, often those published by John Newbery, the first
publisher to produce books aimed primarily at diverting a child audience. Ultimately, however, it
was not the cheerful, commercial-minded Newbery, but Anglo-Irish author Maria Edgeworth
who had the strongest influence on this period of American children's literature. The eighteenth
century had seen a gradual shift away from the spiritual intensity of earlier American religious 4
writings for children, toward a more generalized moralism. Newbery notwithstanding,
Americans still looked on children's books as vehicles for instruction, not amusement, though
they would accept a moderate amount of fictional entertainment for the sake of more successful
instruction. As the children's book market expanded, then, what both public and publishers
wanted was the kind of fiction Maria Edgeworth wrote: stories interesting enough to attract
children and morally instructive enough to allay adult distrust of fiction, American reaction
against imported books for children set in after the War of 1812 with the British. A wave of
nationalism permeated everything, and the self-conscious new nation found foreign writings
(particularly those from the British monarchy) unsuitable for the children of a democratic
republic, a slate of self-governing, equal citizens. Publishers of children's books began to
encourage American writers to write for American children. When they responded, the pattern
established by Maria Edgeworth was at hand, attractive to most of them for both its rationalism
and its high moral tone. Early in the 1820's, stories of willful children learning to obey, of
careless children learning to take care, of selfish children learning to "tire for others," started to
flow from American presses, successfully achieving Edgeworth's tone, though rarely her lively
style. Imitative as they were, these early American stories wee quite distinguishable from their
British counterparts. Few servants appeared in them, and if class distinctions had by no means
disappeared, there was much democratic insistence on the worthiness of every level of birth and
work. The characters of children in this fiction were serious, conscientious, self-reflective, and
independent-testimony to the continuing influence of the earlier American moralistic tradition in children's books.
1. What does the passage mainly discuss?
a. The career of Maria Edgeworth as an author of children's books
b. The development of children's literature in the United States
c. Successful publishers of children's books in Britain and North America
d. Basic differences between British and American literature for children

d. He was commercially minded and cheerful.
3. The word "notwithstanding" in line 7 is closest in meaning to a. in spite of b. in addition to c. as a result of d. as a part of
4. The word "they" in line 9 refers to a. children b. Americans c. books d. vehicles
5. The word "allay" in line 11 is closest in meaning to a. clarify b. attack c. reduce d. confirm
6. It can be inferred from the passage that American children's books sold before 1785 were almost always a. written by Maria Edgeworth
b. attractive and interesting to children c. written by American authors
d. intended only for religious and moral instruction
