Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 1 to 7.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd president of the United States, was from a wealthy, well-known family. As a child, he attended private school, had private tutors, and traveled with his parents to Europe. He attended Harvard University, and afterward studied law. At age 39 Roosevelt suddenly developed polio, a disease that left him without the full use of his legs for the rest of his life. Even through the worst of his illness, however, he continued his life in politics. In 1924 he appeared at the Democratic National Convention to nominate Al Smith for president, and eight years after that he himself was nominated for the same office. Roosevelt was elected to the presidency during the Great Depression of the 1930s, at a time when more than 5,000 banks had failed and thousands of people were out of work. Roosevelt took action. First he declared a bank holiday that closed all the banks so no more could fail; then he reopened the banks little by little with government support. Roosevelt believed in using the full power of government to help what he called the "forgotten people." And it was these workers, the wage earners, who felt the strongest affection toward Roosevelt. There were others, however, who felt that Roosevelt's policies were destroying the American system of governments, and they opposed him in the same intense way that others admired him.
In 1940 the Democrats nominated Roosevelt for an unprecedented third term. No president in American history had ever served three terms, but Roosevelt felt an obligation not to quit while the United States' entry into World War II was looming in the future. He accepted the nomination and went on to an easy victory.

Carnegie Hall, the famous concert hall in New York City, has again undergone a restoration. While this is not the first, it is certainly the most extensive in the building's history. As a result of this new restoration, Carnegie Hall once again has the quality of sound that it had when it was first built.
Carnegie Hall owes its existence to Andrew Carnegie, the wealthy owner of a steel company in the late 1800s. The hall was finished in 1891 and quickly gained a reputation as an excellent performing arts hall where accomplished musicians gained fame. Despite its reputation, however, the concert hall suffered from several detrimental renovations over the years. During the Great Depression, when fewer people could afford to attend performances, the directors sold part of the building to commercial businesses. As a result, a coffee shop was opened in one corner of the building, for which the builders replaced the brick and terra cotta walls with windowpanes. A renovation in 1946 seriously damaged the acoustical quality of the hall when the makers of the film Carnegie Hall cut a gaping hole in the dome of the ceiling to allow for lights and air vents. The hole was later covered with short curtains and a fake ceiling, but the hall never sounded the same afterwards.
In 1960, the violinist Isaac Stern became involved in restoring the hall after a group of real estate developers unveiled plans to demolish Carnegie Hall and build a high-rise office building on the site. This threat spurred Stern to rally public support for Carnegie Hall and encourage the City of New York to buy the property. The movement was successful, and the concert hall is now owned by the city. In the current restoration, builders tested each new material for its sound qualities, and they replaced the hole in the ceiling with a dome. The builders also restored the outer walls to their original appearance and closed the coffee shop. Carnegie has never sounded better, and its prospects for the future have never looked more promising.
Question 39: This passage is mainly about________.
 A. the appearance of Carnegie Hall	B. Carnegie Hall's history during the Great Depression
 C. changes to Carnegie Hall	D. damage to the ceiling in Carnegie Hall
Question 40: The word "extensive" could best be replaced by which of the following
 A. fabulous	 	B. continuous	 	C. thorough	 	D. devoted
Question 41: What major change happened to the hall in 1946?
 A. The stage was renovated.	B. The walls were damaged in an earthquake.
 C. The acoustic dome was damaged. D. Space in the building was sold to commercial businesses.
Question 42: Who was Andrew Carnegie?
 A. a violinist	 	B. an architect	C. a steel mill owner	 D. the mayor of New York City
Question 43: Which of the following words could best replace the word 'gaping'?
 A. vital	 	B. small	 	C. round	 	D. wide
Question 44: The word "fake" in paragraph 2 is most similar to which of the following?
 A. low	 	B. false	 	C. thin	 	D. handsome
Question 45: What was Isaac Stern's relationship to Carnegie Hall?

 B. He made the movie Carnegie Hall in 1946.
 C. He tried to save the hall beginning in 1960.
 D. He performed on opening night in 1891.

 C. restoring the plaster trim	 	D. repairing the ceiling
Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word(s) OPPOSITE in meaning to the underlined word(s) in each of the following questions.
