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.
Beads were probably the first durable ornaments humans possessed, and the intimate relationship they had with their owners is reflected in the fact that beads are among the most common items found in ancient archaeological sites. In the past, as today, men, women, and children adorned themselves with beads. In some cultures, certain beads are often worn from birth until death, and then are buried with their owners for the afterlife. Abrasion due to daily wear alters the surface features of beads, and if they are buried for long, the effects of corrosion can further changed their appearance. Thus, interest is imparted to the bead both by use and the effects of time.
Besides their wearability, either as jewelry or incorporated into articles of attire, beads possess the desirable characteristics of every collectible : they are durable, portable, available in infinite variety, and often valuable in their original cultural context as well as in today's market. Pleasing to look at and touch, beads come in shapes, colors, and materials that almost compel one to handle them and to sort them.
Beads are miniature bundles of secrets waiting to be revealed: their history, manufacture, cultural context, economic role, and ornamental use are all points of information one hopes to unravel. Even the most mundane beads may have traveled great distances and been exposed to many human experiences. The bead researcher must gather information from many diverse fields. In addition to having to be a generalist while specializing in what may seem to be a narrow field, the researcher is faced with the problem of primary materials that have little or no documentation. Many ancient beads that are of ethnographic interest have often been separated from their original cultural context.
The special attractions of beads contribute to the uniqueness of bead research. While often 
regarded as the “small change of civilizations”, beads are a part of every culture, and they can often 
be used to date archaeological sites and to designate the degree of mercantile, technological, and 
cultural sophistication.
Question 36.What is the main subject of the passage?
A. Materials used in making beads	B. How beads are made
C. The reasons for studying beads	D. Different types of beads
Question 37. The word “adorned” is closest in meaning to________.
A. protected	B. decorated	C. purchased	D. enjoyed

Question 39. According to the passage, all of the following are factors that make people want to touch beads EXCEPT the________.
A. shape	B. color	C. material	 	D. odor
Question 40. The word “unravel” is closest in meaning to________.
A. communicate	B. transport	C. improve	D. discover
Question 41. It is difficult to trace the history of certain ancient beads because they________.
A. are small in size	B. have been buried underground
C. have been moved from their original locations	D. are frequently lost

 Question 43 The word “durable” is closest in meaning to________.
A. sustainable	 	 B. unbelievable	 C. predictable 	D. portable
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.
If you look closely at some of the early copies of the Declaration of Independence, beyond the flourished signature of John Hancock and the other 55 men who signed it, you will also find the name of one woman, Mary Katherine Goddard. It was she, a Baltimore printer, who published the first official copies of the Declaration, the first copies that included the names of its signers and therefore heralded the support of all thirteen colonies.
Mary Goddard first got into printing at the age of twenty-four when her brother opened a printing shop in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1762. When he proceeded to get into trouble with his partners and creditors, it was Mary Goddard and her mother
who were left to run the shop. In 1765 they began publishing the Providence Gazette, a weekly newspaper. Similar problems seemed to follow her brother as he opened businesses in Philadelphia and again in Baltimore. Each time Ms. Goddard was brought in to run the newspapers. After starting Baltimore's first newspaper, The Maryland Jounal, in 1773, her brother went broke trying to organize a colonial postal service. While he was in debtor's prison, Mary Katherine Goddard's name appeared on the newspaper's masthead for the first time.
When the Continental Congress fled there from Philadelphia in 1776, it commissioned Ms. Goddard to print the first official version of the Declaration of Independence in January 1777. After printing the documents, she herself paid the post riders to deliver the Declaration throughout the colonies.
During the American Revolution, Mary Goddard continued to publish Baltimore's only newspaper, which one historian claimed was "second to none among the colonies." She was also the city's postmaster from 1775 to 1789 ― appointed by Benjamin Franklin ― and is considered to be the first woman to hold a federal position.
Question 44.With which of the following subjects is the passage mainly concerned?
A. The accomplishments of a female publisher
B. The weaknesses of the newspaper industry
C. The rights of a female publisher
D. The publishing system in colonial America
Question 45.Mary Goddard's name appears on the Declaration of Independence because________.
A. she helped write the original document	B. she published the document
C. she paid to have the document printed	D. her brother was in prison
Question 46.The word "heralded" is closest in meaning to________.
A. influenced	B. announced	C. rejected	D. ignored
Question 47.The word "there" refers to________.
A. the colonies	B. the print shop	C. Baltimore	D. Providence
Question 48.It can be inferred from the passage that Mary Goddard was________.
A. an accomplished businesswoman	B. extremely wealthy
C. a member of the Continental Congress	D. a famous writer
Question 49.The word "position" is closest in meaning to________.
A. job	B. election	C. document	D. location
Question 50. According to the passage, Mary Goddard first became involved in publishing when she________.
A. was appointed by Benjamin Franklin	B. signed the Declaration of Independence
C. took over her brother's printing shop	D. moved to Baltimore
