Direction: Each passage is followed by ten questions. Choose the best answer to
each question based on what is stated or implied in the passage.
Questions H3.1 – H3.10 refer to the following passage
People have been donating blood since the early twentieth century to help
accident victims and patients undergoing surgical procedures. Usually a pint of
whole blood is donated, and it is then divided into platelets, white blood cells, and
red blood cells. People can donate blood (for red blood cells) about once every
two months.
Transfusing the blood from the donor to the recipient is straightforward. It
involves taking the blood from a donors arm vein by means of a hypodermic
syringe. The blood flows through a plastic tube to a collection bag or bottle that
contains sodium citrate, which prevents the blood from clotting.
When the blood is given to patient, a plastic tube and hypodermic needle
are connected to the recipient’s arm. The blood flows down from the container by
gravity. This is a slow process and may last as long as 2 hours to complete the
infusion of blood into the recipient. The patient is protected from being infected
during the transfusion. Only sterile containers, tubing and needles are used, and
this helps ensure that transfused or stored blood is not exposed to disease-causing
bacteria.
Negative reactions to transfusions are not unusual. The recipient may suffer
an allergic reaction or be sensitive to donor leukocytes. Some may suffer from an
undetected red-cell incompatibility. Unexplained reactions are also fairly
common. Although they are rare, other causes of such negative reactions include
contaminated blood, air bubbles in the blood, overloading of the circulatory
lOMoARcPSD| 45476132
system through administration of excess blood, or sensitivity to donor plasma or
platelets.
Today, hospitals and blood banks go to great lengths to screen all blood
donors and their blood. All donated blood is routinely and rigorously tested for
diseases, such as RIV (which causes AIDS), hepatitis B, and syphilis. When the
recipient is a new born or an infant, the blood is usually irradiated to eliminate
harmful elements. Donated blood is washed, and the white blood cells and
platelets are removed.
Storing the blood sometimes requires a freezing process. To freeze the red
blood cells, a glycerol solution is added. To unfreeze, the glycerol is removed. The
ability to store blood for long periods has been a boon to human health.

Questions H3.11 – H3.20 refer to the following passage:
Duncan Phyfe made some of the most beautiful furniture found in America.
His family name was originally Fife, and he was born in Scotland in 1768. In
1784, the Fife family immigrated to Albany, New York where Duncan’s father
opened a cabinetmaking shop. Duncan followed his fathers footsteps and was
apprenticed to a cabinetmaker. After completing his training, Duncan moved to
New York City.
Duncan Fife was first mentioned in the 1792 NYC Directory as a furniture
“joiner” in business at 2 Broad Street. Two years later, he moved, expanded his
business, and changed his name to Phyfe. He was a quiet-living, God-fearing
young man who felt his new name would probably appeal to potential customers
who were definitely anti-British in this post-Revolutionary War period.
lOMoARcPSD| 45476132
Duncan Phyfe’s name distinguished him from his contemporaries.
Although the new spelling helped him better compete with French émigré
craftsmen, his new name had more to do with hanging it on a sign over his door
stoop.
The artisans and merchants who came to America discovered a unique kind
of freedom. They were no longer restricted by class and guild traditions of Europe.
For the first time in history, a man learned that by working hard, he could build
his business based on his own name and reputation and quality of work.
Phyfe’s workshop apparently took off immediately. At the peak of his
success, Phyfe employed 100 craftsmen. Some economic historians point to Phyfe
as having employed division of labor and an assembly line. What his workshop
produced shows Phyfe’s absolute dedication to quality in workmanship. Each
piece of furniture was made of the best available materials. He was reported to
have paid $1,000 for a single Santo Domingo mahogany log.
Phyfe did not create new designs. Rather, he borrowed from a broad range
of the period’s classical styles, Empire, Sheraton, Regency, and French Classical
among them. Nevertheless, Phyfe’s high quality craftsmanship established him as
America’s patriotic interpreter of European design in the late eighteenth and early
nineteenth centuries.
Although the number of pieces produced by Duncan Phyfe’s workshop is
enormous, comparatively few marked or labeled pieces have been found extant.
In antiques shops and auctions, collectors have paid $11,000 for a card table,
$24,200 for a tea table, and $93,500 for a sewing table.
11. Based on the information in the passage, what can be inferred about Duncan
Phyfe?
A. He was an excellent businessman with a good sense of craftsmanship and
design.
B. He regretted that Great Britain no longer governed New York City.
C. He built all his furniture by himself in a workshop in Santo Domingo.
D. He joined the cabinetmakers’ guild after he moved to Scotland in 1792.
12. According to the passage, which of the following does the author imply? A.
Duncan Fife and his father had the same first name.
B. Duncan Fife worked for his father in Scotland.
C. Duncan Fife and his father were in the same business.
D. Duncan Phyfe made over 100 different kinds of tables.
13. Which sentence in paragraph 2 explains Duncan’s name change?
A. The first sentence
B. The second sentence
C. The third sentence
D. None of the above
14. Which choice does the word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?
lOMoARcPSD| 45476132
A. His spelling
B. His chair
C. His French
D. His name
15. Which choice is closest in meaning to the word “guild” in paragraph 4?
A. Verdict of a jury
B. Organization of craftsmen
C. Political party of émigrés
D. Immigrant’s club
16. Which of the following does the word “freedom” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. No longer restricted
B. Restricted
C. By working hard
D. Took off
17. Where in the passage could the following sentence be added to the passage?
Every joint was tight, and the carved elements were beautifully executed.
A. After the word “workmanship” in paragraph 5
B. After the word “cabinetmaker” in paragraph 1
C. After the word “stoop” in paragraph 3
D. After the word “table” in the last paragraph
18. In business, Duncan Phyfe used all of the following EXCEPT:
A. division of labor
B. an assembly line
C. continental designs
D. the least expensive materials
19. Based on information in the passage, what can be inferred about Duncan
Phyfe’s death?
A. He died in the eighteenth century.
B. He died in Albany.
C. He died in the nineteenth century.
D. He died in Scotland.
20. The author implies that
A. furniture from Duncan Phyfe’s workshop no longer exists
B. furniture from Duncan Phyfe’s workshop costs a lot of money today
C. furniture from Duncan Phyfe’s workshop was ignored by New Yorkers
D. furniture from Duncan Phyfe’s workshop was made by his father

Questions H3.21 – H3.30 refer to the following passage:
lOMoARcPSD| 45476132
It takes a long time to raise a family of owlets, so the great horned owl
begins early in the year. In January and February, or as late as March in the North,
the male calls to the female with a resonant hoot. The female is larger than the
male. She sometimes reaches a body length of twenty-two to twentyfour inches,
with a wingspread up to fifty inches. To impress her, the male does a strange
courtship dance. He bobs. He bows. He ruffles his feathers and hops around with
an important air. He flutters from limb to limb and makes flying sorties into the
air. Sometimes he returns with an offering of food. They share the repast, after
which she joins the dance, hopping and bobbing about as though keeping time to
the beat of an inner drum.
Owls are poor home builders. They prefer to nest in a large hollow in a tree
or even to occupy the deserted nest of a hawk or crow. These structures are large
and rough, built of sticks and bark and lined with leaves and feathers. Sometimes
owls nest on a rocky ledge, or even on the bare ground.
The mother lays two or three round, dull white eggs. Then she stoically
settles herself on the nest and spreads her feather skirts about her to protect her
precious charges from snow and cold. It is five weeks before the first downy white
owlet pecks its way out of the shell. As the young birds feather out, they look like
wise old men with their wide eyes and quizzical expressions. They clamor for
food and keep the parents busy supplying mice, squirrels, rabbits, crayfish, and
beetles. Later in the season baby crows are taken. Migrating songsters, waterfowl,
and game birds all fall prey to the hungry family. It is nearly ten weeks before
fledglings leave the nest to search for their own food. The parent birds weary of
family life by November and drive the young owls away to establish hunting
ranges of their own.

Questions H3.31 – H3.40 refer to the following passage
Early mariners gradually developed ways of observing and recording in
their journals their position, the distances and directions they traveled, the currents
of wind and water, and the hazards and havens they encountered. The information
in these journals enabled them to find their way home and, for them or their
lOMoARcPSD| 45476132
successors, to repeat and extend the recorded voyages. Each new observation
could be added to an ever-increasing body of reliable information.
Ship captains and navigators were not concerned about running into other
vessels, but as heavy traffic developed along shipping routes, avoiding such
collisions became a serious matter. In all fields of navigation, keeping a safe
distance between ships moving in different directions at different speeds became
as important as knowing how to reach one’s destination.
The larger the ship, the easier it is to see, but the larger a ship, the more
time it requires to change its speed or direction. When many ships are in a small
area, an action taken by one ship to avoid colliding with another might endanger
a third. In busy seaports, such as Hamburg and New York, this problem has been
solved by assigning incoming and outgoing ships to separate lanes, which are
clearly marked and divided by the greatest practical distance.
The speed of jet airplanes makes collision a deadly possibility. Even if two
pilots see one another in time to begin evasive action, their maneuvers may be
useless if either pilot incorrectly predicts the others move. Ground-based air
traffic controllers assign aircraft to flight paths that keep airplanes a safe distance
from one another.
When steam engines began to replace sails during the first half of the
nineteenth century, a ship’s navigator had to compute fuel consumption as well as
course and location. Today, in airplanes as well as in ships, large amounts of fuel,
needed for long trips, reduce the cargo capacity, and economy requires that its
consumption be kept to a minimum.
In modern air and sea navigation, a schedule has to be met. A single voyage
or flight is only one link in a complicated and coordinated transportation network
that carries goods and people from any starting place to any chosen destination.
Modern navigation selects a ship’s course, avoids collision with other moving
ships, minimizes fuel consumption, and follows an established timetable.
31. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. Historical records of navigation

C. Schedules and shipping long distances
D. The growing importance of navigation

Questions H3.41 – H3.50 refer to the following passage
The New York Times is a daily newspaper published in New York City. For a long
time, it has been a newspaper of record in the United State and one of the world’s
great newspapers. Its strength is in its editorial excellence; it has never been the
largest newspaper in terms of circulation.
The Times was established in 1851 as a penny paper whose editors wanted to
report the news in a restrained and objective fashion. It enjoyed early success as
its editors set a pattern for the future by appealing to a cultured, intellectual
readership instead of a mass audience. However, in the late nineteenth century, it
came into competition with more popular, colorful, if not lurid, newspapers in
New York City. Despite price increases, the Times was losing $1,000 a week when
Adolph Simon Ochs bought it in 1896.
Ochs built the Times into an internationally respected daily. He hired Carr Van
Anda as editor. Van Anda placed greater stress than ever on full reporting of the
news of the day, and his reporters maintained and emphasized existing good
coverage of international news. The management of the paper decided to eliminate
fiction from the paper, added a Sunday magazine section, and reduced the paper’s
price back to a penny. In April 1912, the paper took many risks to report every
aspect of the sinking of the Titanic. This greatly enhanced its prestige, and in its
coverage of two world wars, the Times continued to enhance its reputation for
excellence in world news.
In 1971, the Times was given a copy of the so-called “Pentagon Papers,” a secret
government study of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam war. When it published the
report, it became involved in several lawsuits. The U.S. Supreme Court found that
the publication was protected by the freedom-of-the-press clause in the First
Amendment of the U.S Constitution. Later in the 1970s, the paper, under Adolph
Ochs’s grandson, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, introduced sweeping changes in the
organization of the newspaper and its staff and brought out a national edition
transmitted by satellite to regional printing plants.
41.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The New York Times publishes the best fiction by American writers.
B. The New York Times became highly respected throughout the world.
C. The New York Times broadcasts its news to TV stations via satellite.
D. The New York Times lost its prestige after the Vietnam War.
42. It can be inferred from the passage that the circulation of the Times is
lOMoARcPSD| 45476132
A. not the largest in the world
B. not the best in the world
C. the smallest in the world
D. the worst in the world
43. Which phrase is closest in meaning to the word “restrained” as it is used in
paragraph 2? A. Put in prison
B. In handcuffs
C. Without education
D. With self-control
44. According to the passage, what caused the loss of money at the Times?
A. Other newspapers were more colorful
B. Other newspapers had better reporters.
C. Other newspapers added a Sunday magazine.
D. Other newspapers were better managed.

Questions H3.1 – H3.10 refer to the following passage
People have been donating blood since the early twentieth century to help
accident victims and patients undergoing surgical procedures. Usually a pint of
whole blood is donated, and it is then divided into platelets, white blood cells, and
red blood cells. People can donate blood (for red blood cells) about once every two months.
Transfusing the blood from the donor to the recipient is straightforward. It
involves taking the blood from a donor’s arm vein by means of a hypodermic
syringe. The blood flows through a plastic tube to a collection bag or bottle that
contains sodium citrate, which prevents the blood from clotting.
When the blood is given to patient, a plastic tube and hypodermic needle
are connected to the recipient’s arm. The blood flows down from the container by
gravity. This is a slow process and may last as long as 2 hours to complete the
infusion of blood into the recipient. The patient is protected from being infected
during the transfusion. Only sterile containers, tubing and needles are used, and
this helps ensure that transfused or stored blood is not exposed to disease-causing bacteria.
Negative reactions to transfusions are not unusual. The recipient may suffer
an allergic reaction or be sensitive to donor leukocytes. Some may suffer from an
undetected red-cell incompatibility. Unexplained reactions are also fairly
common. Although they are rare, other causes of such negative reactions include
contaminated blood, air bubbles in the blood, overloading of the circulatory lOMoAR cPSD| 45476132
system through administration of excess blood, or sensitivity to donor plasma or platelets.
Today, hospitals and blood banks go to great lengths to screen all blood
donors and their blood. All donated blood is routinely and rigorously tested for
diseases, such as RIV (which causes AIDS), hepatitis B, and syphilis. When the
recipient is a new born or an infant, the blood is usually irradiated to eliminate
harmful elements. Donated blood is washed, and the white blood cells and platelets are removed.
Storing the blood sometimes requires a freezing process. To freeze the red
blood cells, a glycerol solution is added. To unfreeze, the glycerol is removed. The
ability to store blood for long periods has been a boon to human health.

Questions H3.11 – H3.20 refer to the following passage:
Duncan Phyfe made some of the most beautiful furniture found in America.
His family name was originally Fife, and he was born in Scotland in 1768. In
1784, the Fife family immigrated to Albany, New York where Duncan’s father
opened a cabinetmaking shop. Duncan followed his father’s footsteps and was
apprenticed to a cabinetmaker. After completing his training, Duncan moved to New York City.
Duncan Fife was first mentioned in the 1792 NYC Directory as a furniture
“joiner” in business at 2 Broad Street. Two years later, he moved, expanded his
business, and changed his name to Phyfe. He was a quiet-living, God-fearing
young man who felt his new name would probably appeal to potential customers
who were definitely anti-British in this post-Revolutionary War period. lOMoAR cPSD| 45476132
Duncan Phyfe’s name distinguished him from his contemporaries.
Although the new spelling helped him better compete with French émigré
craftsmen, his new name had more to do with hanging it on a sign over his door stoop.
The artisans and merchants who came to America discovered a unique kind
of freedom. They were no longer restricted by class and guild traditions of Europe.
For the first time in history, a man learned that by working hard, he could build
his business based on his own name and reputation and quality of work.
Phyfe’s workshop apparently took off immediately. At the peak of his
success, Phyfe employed 100 craftsmen. Some economic historians point to Phyfe
as having employed division of labor and an assembly line. What his workshop
produced shows Phyfe’s absolute dedication to quality in workmanship. Each
piece of furniture was made of the best available materials. He was reported to
have paid $1,000 for a single Santo Domingo mahogany log.
Phyfe did not create new designs. Rather, he borrowed from a broad range
of the period’s classical styles, Empire, Sheraton, Regency, and French Classical
among them. Nevertheless, Phyfe’s high quality craftsmanship established him as
America’s patriotic interpreter of European design in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
Although the number of pieces produced by Duncan Phyfe’s workshop is
enormous, comparatively few marked or labeled pieces have been found extant.
In antiques shops and auctions, collectors have paid $11,000 for a card table,
$24,200 for a tea table, and $93,500 for a sewing table.
11. Based on the information in the passage, what can be inferred about Duncan Phyfe?
A. He was an excellent businessman with a good sense of craftsmanship and design.
B. He regretted that Great Britain no longer governed New York City.
C. He built all his furniture by himself in a workshop in Santo Domingo.
D. He joined the cabinetmakers’ guild after he moved to Scotland in 1792.
12. According to the passage, which of the following does the author imply? A.
Duncan Fife and his father had the same first name.
B. Duncan Fife worked for his father in Scotland.
C. Duncan Fife and his father were in the same business.
D. Duncan Phyfe made over 100 different kinds of tables.
13. Which sentence in paragraph 2 explains Duncan’s name change? A. The first sentence B. The second sentence C. The third sentence D. None of the above
14. Which choice does the word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? lOMoAR cPSD| 45476132 A. His spelling B. His chair C. His French D. His name
15. Which choice is closest in meaning to the word “guild” in paragraph 4? A. Verdict of a jury B. Organization of craftsmen
C. Political party of émigrés D. Immigrant’s club
16. Which of the following does the word “freedom” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. No longer restricted B. Restricted C. By working hard D. Took off
17. Where in the passage could the following sentence be added to the passage?
Every joint was tight, and the carved elements were beautifully executed.
A. After the word “workmanship” in paragraph 5
B. After the word “cabinetmaker” in paragraph 1
C. After the word “stoop” in paragraph 3
D. After the word “table” in the last paragraph
18. In business, Duncan Phyfe used all of the following EXCEPT: A. division of labor B. an assembly line C. continental designs
D. the least expensive materials
19. Based on information in the passage, what can be inferred about Duncan Phyfe’s death?
A. He died in the eighteenth century. B. He died in Albany.
C. He died in the nineteenth century. D. He died in Scotland. 20. The author implies that
A. furniture from Duncan Phyfe’s workshop no longer exists
B. furniture from Duncan Phyfe’s workshop costs a lot of money today
C. furniture from Duncan Phyfe’s workshop was ignored by New Yorkers
D. furniture from Duncan Phyfe’s workshop was made by his father

Questions H3.21 – H3.30 refer to the following passage: lOMoAR cPSD| 45476132
It takes a long time to raise a family of owlets, so the great horned owl
begins early in the year. In January and February, or as late as March in the North,
the male calls to the female with a resonant hoot. The female is larger than the
male. She sometimes reaches a body length of twenty-two to twentyfour inches,
with a wingspread up to fifty inches. To impress her, the male does a strange
courtship dance. He bobs. He bows. He ruffles his feathers and hops around with
an important air. He flutters from limb to limb and makes flying sorties into the
air. Sometimes he returns with an offering of food. They share the repast, after
which she joins the dance, hopping and bobbing about as though keeping time to the beat of an inner drum.
Owls are poor home builders. They prefer to nest in a large hollow in a tree
or even to occupy the deserted nest of a hawk or crow. These structures are large
and rough, built of sticks and bark and lined with leaves and feathers. Sometimes
owls nest on a rocky ledge, or even on the bare ground.
The mother lays two or three round, dull white eggs. Then she stoically
settles herself on the nest and spreads her feather skirts about her to protect her
precious charges from snow and cold. It is five weeks before the first downy white
owlet pecks its way out of the shell. As the young birds feather out, they look like
wise old men with their wide eyes and quizzical expressions. They clamor for
food and keep the parents busy supplying mice, squirrels, rabbits, crayfish, and
beetles. Later in the season baby crows are taken. Migrating songsters, waterfowl,
and game birds all fall prey to the hungry family. It is nearly ten weeks before
fledglings leave the nest to search for their own food. The parent birds weary of
family life by November and drive the young owls away to establish hunting ranges of their own.

Questions H3.31 – H3.40 refer to the following passage
Early mariners gradually developed ways of observing and recording in
their journals their position, the distances and directions they traveled, the currents
of wind and water, and the hazards and havens they encountered. The information
in these journals enabled them to find their way home and, for them or their lOMoAR cPSD| 45476132
successors, to repeat and extend the recorded voyages. Each new observation
could be added to an ever-increasing body of reliable information.
Ship captains and navigators were not concerned about running into other
vessels, but as heavy traffic developed along shipping routes, avoiding such
collisions became a serious matter. In all fields of navigation, keeping a safe
distance between ships moving in different directions at different speeds became
as important as knowing how to reach one’s destination.
The larger the ship, the easier it is to see, but the larger a ship, the more
time it requires to change its speed or direction. When many ships are in a small
area, an action taken by one ship to avoid colliding with another might endanger
a third. In busy seaports, such as Hamburg and New York, this problem has been
solved by assigning incoming and outgoing ships to separate lanes, which are
clearly marked and divided by the greatest practical distance.
The speed of jet airplanes makes collision a deadly possibility. Even if two
pilots see one another in time to begin evasive action, their maneuvers may be
useless if either pilot incorrectly predicts the other’s move. Ground-based air
traffic controllers assign aircraft to flight paths that keep airplanes a safe distance from one another.
When steam engines began to replace sails during the first half of the
nineteenth century, a ship’s navigator had to compute fuel consumption as well as
course and location. Today, in airplanes as well as in ships, large amounts of fuel,
needed for long trips, reduce the cargo capacity, and economy requires that its
consumption be kept to a minimum.
In modern air and sea navigation, a schedule has to be met. A single voyage
or flight is only one link in a complicated and coordinated transportation network
that carries goods and people from any starting place to any chosen destination.
Modern navigation selects a ship’s course, avoids collision with other moving
ships, minimizes fuel consumption, and follows an established timetable.
31. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. Historical records of navigation
B. Airplane navigation in Europe
C. Schedules and shipping long distances
D. The growing importance of navigation
32. Which of the choices is closest in meaning to the word “hazards” as used in paragraph 1? A. Dangerous obstacles B. Safe seaports C. Whales and large fish D. Inaccurate navigation
33. Which of the following has the same meaning as the word “collisions” as used in paragraph 2? A. Other vessels lOMoAR cPSD| 45476132 B. Running into C. Avoiding such D. Serious matter
34. Which of the following does the word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Ship B. Time C. Speed D. Larger
35. Where can the following sentence be added to the passage?
In fact, many harbors were burned down from fires begun as a result of ships’ colliding in port.
A. After the word “encountered” in paragraph 1 B. At the end of paragraph 2
C. After the word “third” in paragraph 3
D. After the word “possibility” in paragraph 4
36. How are ships kept apart in the ports of Hamburg and New York?

B. Captains use their journals to determine the hazards in port.
C. Ships are not allowed to change their course or their speed while in port.
D. Incoming and outgoing ships are assigned to clearly marked lanes.

B. A navigator had to determine how much fuel a ship needed for a voyage.
C. A large amount of fuel made room for extra cargo space.
D. A journal was kept about the amount of coal a steam engine used during a voyage

Questions H3.41 – H3.50 refer to the following passage
The New York Times is a daily newspaper published in New York City. For a long
time, it has been a newspaper of record in the United State and one of the world’s
great newspapers. Its strength is in its editorial excellence; it has never been the
largest newspaper in terms of circulation.
The Times was established in 1851 as a penny paper whose editors wanted to
report the news in a restrained and objective fashion. It enjoyed early success as
its editors set a pattern for the future by appealing to a cultured, intellectual
readership instead of a mass audience. However, in the late nineteenth century, it
came into competition with more popular, colorful, if not lurid, newspapers in
New York City. Despite price increases, the Times was losing $1,000 a week when
Adolph Simon Ochs bought it in 1896.
Ochs built the Times into an internationally respected daily. He hired Carr Van
Anda as editor. Van Anda placed greater stress than ever on full reporting of the
news of the day, and his reporters maintained and emphasized existing good
coverage of international news. The management of the paper decided to eliminate
fiction from the paper, added a Sunday magazine section, and reduced the paper’s
price back to a penny. In April 1912, the paper took many risks to report every
aspect of the sinking of the Titanic. This greatly enhanced its prestige, and in its
coverage of two world wars, the Times continued to enhance its reputation for excellence in world news.
In 1971, the Times was given a copy of the so-called “Pentagon Papers,” a secret
government study of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam war. When it published the
report, it became involved in several lawsuits. The U.S. Supreme Court found that
the publication was protected by the freedom-of-the-press clause in the First
Amendment of the U.S Constitution. Later in the 1970s, the paper, under Adolph
Ochs’s grandson, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, introduced sweeping changes in the
organization of the newspaper and its staff and brought out a national edition
transmitted by satellite to regional printing plants.
41.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The New York Times publishes the best fiction by American writers.
B. The New York Times became highly respected throughout the world.
C. The New York Times broadcasts its news to TV stations via satellite.
D. The New York Times lost its prestige after the Vietnam War.
42. It can be inferred from the passage that the circulation of the Times is lOMoAR cPSD| 45476132
A. not the largest in the world B. not the best in the world C. the smallest in the world D. the worst in the world
43. Which phrase is closest in meaning to the word “restrained” as it is used in paragraph 2? A. Put in prison B. In handcuffs C. Without education D. With self-control
44. According to the passage, what caused the loss of money at the Times?
A. Other newspapers were more colorful
B. Other newspapers had better reporters.
C. Other newspapers added a Sunday magazine.
D. Other newspapers were better managed.
45. What word or phrase does the word “his” as used in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Van Anda B. Reporters C. News of the day D. International news
46. Where can the following sentence best be added to the passage?

I hope you like the photos we took in Ha Long Bay. Did you get home all right? I’m
back at work now, but it’s a bit difficult to start again. I wish we were still on holiday.
Why don’t we plan another trip this spring if you’ve got time and money? Any
suggestions where we could go? …………………. Daisy lOMoAR cPSD| 45476132

I won the second prize in a competition at my school, so I decide to travel to your country
for 2 weeks. I am wondering what the weather is like in your country, where I should go
to visit and some interesting activities I can take part in there. Can you give me some information?
