Answer the questions on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passages and in any introductory material that may be provided.Questions 1-4 are based on the following passages.Passage 1The intellectual construct known as containment arose from the ashes of World War II as a means by which the West could prevent war with the Soviet Union. A 1947 issue of the obscure but influential journal5 Foreign Affairs outlined a policy of international relations based upon aparticularistic world view. According to such a world view, nations are inherently self-serving and any force issued by one country against another must be met with equal counterforce. Originally, containment10 aimed to utilize American power to oppose the Soviet Union anywhere the latternation attempted to establish a communist regime.Passage 2America's involvement in Vietnam during the 1960's offers support for opponents of the policy of containment.15 Prevalent among American politicians at the time was the assumption that allnations must be aligned with either the United States or the Soviet Union, and that there could be no communist nation that was not also a pawn of the Soviets.By viewing the world in such black-and-white20 terms, America fatally misunderstood the real cause of Vietnam's instability.While America perceived the war as another example of aggressive Soviet expansion, Vietnamese communists saw their role as eliminating theimperialistic influences of all foreign nations.1. Which of the following best illustrates a "particularistic world view" as described in Passage 1, line 6?(A) A country that seeks to institute a national welfare system to provide health andeducation to all its citizens(B) A group of nations that tries to stop aggression around the world(C) A nation that seeks to seize territory in a neighboring nation to obtain naturalresources it currently lacks(D) A state that intends to promote democracy around the world by showing thesuccesses it has achieved through such a government(E) A dictator who seeks to quell political opposition within his own government2.

Born in 1599, Cromwell was a leading figure in the English Civil Wars of the seventeenth century, eventually authorizing the execution of King Charles J and becoming Lord Protector of all England.Passage 1In the wake of the Protestant Reformation and Catholic Counter-Reformation, all of Europe was in turmoil. Rulers often altered the laws of their countries to suit personal preferences, outlawing first one religious5 practice then another. Such uncertainty inevitably gave riseto conflict as people fought to retain the right to practice their own beliefs in safety. Further exacerbating the situation in England was the matter of the neighboring lands of Ireland and Scotland. After generations of strife,10 the English monarchy had married into the Scottish monarchy and had annexedIreland, resulting in one monarch ruling all three countries, though in reality each country had its own legal system and local rulers. This balance of power wastenuous at best and there was15 frequent talk of insurrection in each country, especially as taxes to supportforeign wars mounted ever higher. In the midst of this conflict, civil war erupted.The common people were torn between warring factions and weighed down by heavy taxes until finally, frustrated with20 the situation, they rose up.This was the setting in which Oliver Cromwell first rose to prominence. Born into the English middle class, somewhere above a yeoman* yet below an aristocrat. Cromwell was reasonably well educated and25 entered politics as a local representative in the House of Commons. He served inthe British Parliament for several terms, but at heart he wasmore a man of action than a man of words; it was only when the King's royal standard was flapping in the wind that Cromwell's30 ascension to power began in earnest. Although he used his respectable birth anddescent to portray himself as a gentleman, Cromwell had a reputation for being a violent man, and history relates many stories of his suddentemper and rough, even vulgar, language. In almost any other35 atmosphere, it is likely that a man of such uncertain temperament would havetoiled in obscurity, but in those bloody years he was able to put his less savory tendencies, along with his own iron will, to good use and take advantage of any opportunities that arose.40 The British Civil Wars were long and ugly. They ended only after theestablishment first, of the English Commonwealth, under the leadership of theParliament; then, of the Protectorate, under the rule of Cromwell; and finally, the restoration of the monarchy. Although it is45 claimed by some historians that Cromwell was popularly acclaimed and that thepeople of England went so far as to offer him the crown, contemporary accounts paint a different picture. There are descriptions of Cromwell's soldiers storming the Parliament and forcibly installing50 Cromwell as head of Parliament, which he promptly disbanded. With Parliamentdissolved, Cromwell's path to power was clear, and once he had been namedProtector, it was nearly impossible to oust him. One of the primary reasons for this was the devoted army that attended him,55 something that King Charles I had sorely lacked. As for his refusal of the crown, thereality was that he was king in all but name, and one can only speculate that it was some kind of superstition that prevented him from officially assuming the title.60 The most convincing proof that Cromwell's reign was not as popular as somehistorians would make it out to be is the rapidity with which the English people welcomed back the royal family after his death. Within two years of Cromwell's death. Charles II was installed on the throne that had been held by his father, and the remnants of the65 Cromwell family were forced into hiding to escape persecution. So it was that theEnglish Civil Wars ended once and for al1, and the memory of a passionate and ambitious man faded into ignominy for many long years.*yeoman is an archaic word for a landowning farmer.Passage 270 Oliver Cromwell, a man as often vilified as extol1ed, played a central role in Britishpolitics of the seventeenth century before, during, and after the British Civil Wars.Born a gentleman, Cromwell became involved in politics at an early age. Heserved in various capacities in his75 local government before going on to serve several terms in Parliament. Hiswritings from that period show that although he was not yet certain that war was the answer, he did agitate for a variety of government reforms and increasedrights for the common citizen. Once it80 became clear that war was inevitable, however, Cromwell willingly put aside thepen and took up the sword in defense of what he believed. During the long and bloody years of fighting, Cromwell distinguished himself as a valiant soldier85 and staunch supporter of the people's rights. One of the main issues at stakeduring the wars was the right to religious freedom. Although Cromwell did not support full religious tolerance, he did support the idea that there was more than one way to be deyout. It was his approval90 of the Puritan and Presbyterian faiths that garnered him the support of manysoldiers who were, in turn, largely responsible for his investiture as Lord Protector,a post created solely for him. Of the many actions for which Cromwell is95 remembered, his execution of King Charles I is surely the foremost. For the firsttime in recorded history, the people of England openly rebelled against a King,tried him in a court of citizens, and duly executed him for treason. It is certainly possible that, without a man as forceful as100 Cromwell to lead the way, the people of England would have hesitated at the final step. This one act, carried out by Cromwell, forever changed the ways inwhich the people viewed the monarchy and vice versa. Up until the moment that the axe fell, many did105 not really believe that anyone would or could execute a king. There were strong feelings about the divine rights of kings and if the execution of Charles I did not destroy those ideas, it certainly gave people pause. Every monarch since theRestoration has known that, if pushed110 far enough, the people will go to war against their ruler and, if deemed necessary, forcibly remove that ruler from power. This, in turn, has guaranteed a greaterdegree of respect for the wishes of the people on the part of the monarchy, and if history gives an accurate picture of115 Cromwell's personality, it seems likely that he would approve of this turn of affairs.5.Passage I portrays Cromwell's character as that of(A) a highly ambitious man(B) a sensitive leader(C) a beloved father figure(D) a scholarly gentleman(E) an aloof aristocrat6. The function of the first paragraph of Passage I is to(A) applaud the monarchy's foreign policies(B) criticize the British monarchy(C) give an overview of British history(D) describe the setting for Cromwell's rise to power(E) detail Cromwell's role in the civil war7.

Answer the questions on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passages and in any introductory material that may be provided.Question 1-4 are based on the following passages.Passage 1The eighteenth-century botanist Carolus Linnaeus’enormous and essential contribution to natural history was to devise a system of classification whereby any plant or animal could identified and slotted into an overall plan. Yet Linnaeus himself would probably be the first to admit that classification is only a tool, and not the ultimate purpose, of biological inquiry. Unfortunately, this truth was not apparent to his immediate successors, who for the nest hundred years were to concern themselves almost exclusively with classification.Passage 2I am a heretic about Linnaeus. I do not dispute the value of the tool he gave natural science, but I am wary about the change it has effected on human relationship to the world. From Linnaeus on, much of science has been devoted to sorting masses into individual entities and arranging the entities neatly. The cost of having so successfully itemized and pigeonholed nature is to limit certain possibilities of seeing and apprehending. For example, the modern man thinks that he or she can best understand a tree (or a species of tree) by examining a single tree. But trees are not intended to grow in isolation. They are social creatures, and their society in turn supports other species of plants, insects, birds, mammals, and micro-organisms, all of which make up the whole experience of the woods.pared to the author of Passage 2, the author of Passage 1 regards Linnaeuswith more(A)cynicism(B)bafflement(C)appreciation(D)nostalgia(E)resentment2.Unlike the author of Passage 1, the author of Passage 2 make use of(A) scientific data(B) literary allusion(C) historical research(D) personal voice(E) direct citation3.Both passages emphasize which of the following aspects of Linnaeus’ work?(A)The extent to which it contributed to natural science(B)The way in which it limits present-day science(C)The degree to which it revived interest in biology.(D)The decisiveness with which it settled scientific disputes(E)The kinds of scientific discoveries on which it built.4.The author of Passage 1 would most likely respond to the opening of Passage 2(Line 12-17) by arguing that the author of Passage 2 has(A)demonstrated that Linnaeus should be better known as a scientist that hecurrently is(B)minimized the achievements of those scientists who built on Linnaeus’ work(C)refused to appreciate the importance of proper classification to scientificprogress(D)failed to distinguish the ideas of Linnaeus from those of his followers(E)misunderstood Linnaeus’ primary contribution to natural historyQuestion 5-10 are based on the following passage.The following is an excerpt from a translation of a novel written in Spanish by an author from Colombia. In a fanciful manner, the novelist portrays the townspeople of an isolated village.Dazzled by so many and such marvelous inventions, the people of Macondo did not know where their amazement began, They stayed up all night looking at the electric bulbs fed by the electric plant that Aureliano Triste had brought back when the train made its second trip, and it took time and effort for them to grow accustomed to its obsessive noise.They became indignant over the living images that the prosperous merchant Bruno Crespi projected on the screen in the theatre with the lion-head ticket windows, for the character who had died and was buried in one film, and for whose misfortune tears of affliction had been shed, would reappear alive and transformed into an Arab sheik in the next one. The audience, who paid tow cents apiece to share the difficulties of the actors, would not tolerate such an outlandish fraud and they broke up the seats. The major, at the urging of Bruno Crespi, explained in a proclamation that the cinema was a machine of illusions that did not merit the emotional outbursts of the audience. With that discouraging explanation many felt that they had been the victims of some new trickery and they decided not to return to the movies, considering that they already had too many troubles of their own to weep over the acted-out misfortunes of imaginary beings.Something similar happened with cylinder phonographs brought from France and intended as a substitute for the antiquated hand organs used by the band of musicians. For a time the phonograph records had serious effects on the livelihood of the musicians. At first curiosity increased the business on the street where they were sold and there was even word of respectable persons who disguised themselves as workers in order to observe the novelty of the phonograph at firsthand, but from so much and such close observation they soon reached the conclusion that it was not an enchanted mill as everyone had thought and as some had said, but a mechanical trick that could not be compared with something so moving, so human, and so full of everyday truth as a band of musicians, It was such a serious disappointment that when phonograph became so popular that there was one in every house they were not considered objects for amusement for adults but as something good for children to take part.On the other hand, when someone from the town had the opportunity to test the crude reality of the telephone installed in the railroad station, which was thought to be rudimentary version of the phonograph because of its crank, even the most incredulous were upset. It was as if God had decided to put to the test every capacity for surprise and was keeping the inhabitants of Macondo in a permanent alteration between excitement and disappointment, doubt and revelation, to such an extreme that no one knew for certain where the limits of reality lay.5.The word “obsessive” (line 5) most nearly means(A)enthusiastic(B)persistent(C)obvious(D)infatuated(E)hardworking6.The “fraud” (Line 11) that upset the citizens of Macondo was related to the(A)excessive charge for admission(B)outlandish adventures of the characters on the screen(C)fact that the events depicted on the screen did not actually occur(D)types of difficulties the actors faced(E)implausible plots of the stories that were told7.The citizens lost interest in their phonographs because(A)the machines lack the heart and soul of true musicians(B)few people were able to operate them(C)the machines were too difficult to observe firsthand(D)many musicians lost their job because of them(E)the children were breaking them faster than they were made8.The citizens of Macondo were distressed by the arrival of telephone because they(A)did not know where it come from(B)had expected a more socially beneficial invention(C)could envision the change it would bring to daily village life(D)no longer felt able to make the usual assumptions about their world(E)were fearful that it would have serious affects on their continued employment9.The aspects of the new inventions that most disappointed the citizens was thatthese inventions(A)were not all fashioned with crank(B)did not have any real educational value(C)were not at all what they seemed to be(D)were meant purely for entertainment(E)were so intricate they ere difficult to operate10.The major purpose of the passage is to(A)illustrate the influence the distinguished residents of Macondo had on theother citizens(B)describe the new scientific inventions that were introduced to Macondo(C)depict a diverse crowd reacting in unison to a magical performance(D)describe the people’s responses to the influx of technical advances(E)delineate old-fashioned ideas about the virtue of nature over technologyQuestions 11-15 are based on the following passage.This passage is from the preface to a 1997 book by a United States journalist detailing a disagreement between doctors and family members about a child’s medical treatment at a hospital in California.Under my desk I keep a large carton of cassette tapes. Though they have all been transcribed, I still like to listen to them from time to time.Some are quiet and easily understood. They are filled with the voices of American doctors, interrupted occasionally by the clink of a coffee cup or beep of a pager. The rest—more than half of them—are very noisy. They are filled with the voices of the Lees family, Hmong refugees from Laos who came to the United States in 1980. Against a background of babies crying, children playing, doors slamming, dishes clattering, a television yammering, and an air conditioner wheezing, I can hear the mother’s voice, by turns breathy, nasal, gargly, or humlike as it slides up and down the Hmong language’s eight tones; the father’s voice, louder, slower, more vehement; and my interpreter’s voice, mediating in Hmong and English, low and deferential in each. The hubbub summons sense-memories: the coolness of the red metal folding chair, reserved for guests, that was always set up when I arrived in the apartment; the shadows cast by the amulet that hung from the ceiling and swung inthe breeze on its length of grocer’s twine; the tastes of Hmong food.I sat on the Lees’ red chair for the first time on May 19, 1988. Earlier that spring I had come to Merced, California, because I had heard that there were some misunderstandings at the county hospital between its Hmong patients and medical staff. One doctor called them“collisions,”which made it sound as if two different kinds of people had rammed into each other, head on, to the accompaniment of squealing brakes and breaking glass. As it turned out, the encounters were messy but rarely frontal. Both sides were wounded, but neither side seemed to know what had hit it or how to avoid another crash.I have always felt that the action most worth watching occurs not at the center of things but where edges meet. I like shorelines, weather fronts, international borders. These places have interesting frictions and incongruities, and often, if you stand at the point of tangency, you can see both sides better than if you were in the middle of either one. This is especially true when the apposition is cultural. When I first came to Merced, I hoped that the culture of American medicine, about which I knew a little, and the culture of the Hmong, about which I knew nothing, would somehow illuminate each other if I could position myself between the two and manage not to get caught in the crossfire. But after getting to know the Lees family and their daughter’s doctors and realizing how hard it was to blame anyone, I stopped analyzing the situation in such linear terms. Now, when I play the tapes late at night, I imagine what they would sound like if I could splice them together, so the voices of the Hmong and those of the American doctors could be heard on a single tape, speaking a common language.11. In line 12, “summons”most nearly means(A) sends for(B) calls forth(C) requests(D) orders(E) convenes12. It can be inferred from lines the last five lines in the third paragraph that“collisions”was NOT an apt description because the(A) clash between Hmong patients and medical staff was indirect and baffling(B) Hmong patients and the medical staff were not significantly affected by theencounters(C) medical staff was not responsible for the dissatisfaction of the Hmong patients(D) misunderstandings between the Hmong patients and the medical staff were easyto resolve(E) disagreement reached beyond particular individuals to the community at large13. Which of the following views of conflict is best supported by lines 26-28(“These . . . one”) in the last paragraph?(A) Efforts to prevent conflicts are not always successful.(B) Conflict can occur in many different guises.(C) In most conflicts, both parties are to blame.(D) You can understand two parties that have resolved their conflicts better than twoparties that are currently in conflict.(E) You can learn more about two parties in conflict as an observer than as aninvolved participant.14. According to lines 28-32 (“When I . . . crossfire”), the author’s initial goal was to(A) consider the perspectives of both the American doctors and the Lees family to seewhat insights might develop(B) serve as a counselor to the county hospital’s Hmong patients in order to ease theiranxieties(C) work out a compromise between the Americandoctors and the Lees family(D) acquire a greater knowledge of how the Americanmedical culture serves patients(E) try to reduce the misunderstandings between the American doctors and the Leesfamily and promote good will15. At the end of the passage, the author suggests that it would be ideal if the(A) differences between the Lees family and the American doctors could be resolvedquickly(B) concerns and opinions of the Lees family and the American doctors could bemerged(C) American doctors could take the time to learn more about their Hmong patients(D) Hmong patients could become more vocal indefense of their rights(E) Hmong patients could get medical treatment consistent with their cultural beliefs。
