Section Tltree: Reading Comprehension
Directions: Read the passages and choose the one best answer, (I) , (2), (3) or (4), for each question.
Passage1
Maple syrup comes from the sap (called xylum sap) of red sugar, or black maple trees, often in the Canadian province of Quebec and the states of New York and Vermont. Maple trees store starch in their trunks and roots over the winter. The maple trees tum the starch into sugar, which rises up through the sap when the temperatures become wanner in the spring. People harvest the maple syrup by boring holes into the trunks so they can remove and co11ect the sap. The sap is then heated so its water evaporates, leaving only the syrup behind to be eaten. Maple syrup has been harvested for hundreds of years. Early explorers were taught how to harvest syrup from Native Americans who lived in Vermont and New York. Maple syrup is an important part of Vermont culture. The 2001 Vermont state quarter shows a scene of people harvesting syrup from a grove of maple trees.

Passage 2
Hay fever is a seasonal allergy to pollens; the tenn 'hay fever', however, is a less than adequate description since an attack of this allergy does not incur fever and since such an attack can be brought on by sources other than hay producing grasses. Hay fever is generally caused by air borne pol1ens, particularly ragweed pollen. The amount of pol1en in the air is largely dependent on geographical location, weather, and season. In the eastern section of the United States, for example, there are generally three periods when pollen from various sources can cause intense hay fever suffering: in the spring time months of March and April when pollen from trees is prevalent, in the summer months of June and July when grass pollen fi11s the air, and at the end of August when ragweed pollen is at its most concentrated levels.
71- Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
72- Which of the following is discussed in the passage as a determining factor of the amount of pollen in the air?
73- Which of the following is true about hay fever in the eastern U.S.?
74- It can be inferred from the first sentence of the passage that the term "hay fever"............
75- According to the passage, the main sources of hay fever are ...................
Passage 3
Certain scraps of evidence bear out those who hold a very high opinion of the average level of culture among the Athenians of the great age. Pericles's funeral speech is undoubtedly the most famous evidence from Athenian literature, that its level was indeed high. However, Pericles was a politician, and it is possible that he was flattering his audience. We know that thousands of Athenians sat hour after hour in the theater listening to the plays of the great Greek dramatists. The Greek plays, particularly the tragedies, maintained an extremely high intellectual level throughout, with no letdowns, no concessions to the lowbrows or to the demands of "realism", like the gravediggers scene in Shakespeare's Hamlet. The music and dancing seen in these plays were also of an equally high level. The best modem parallel can be seen in the restrained, difficult opera of the 18th century. The comparison is no doubt dangerous, but can you imagine almost the entire population of an American city (in suitable installments, of course) sitting through performances of Mozart's Don Giovanni or Gluck's Orpheus? Perhaps the Athenian masses went to these plays because of a lack of other amusements. They could at least understand something of what went on, since the subjects were part of their folklore. Undoubtedly, the theme of grand opera is not part of the folklore of the American people.
76- The best title for the passage is.................... .
77- The author believes that American people, in general,............... .
78- The author refers to Pericles's funeral speech to show that Athenians of the great age............
79- It can be inferred from the passage that in the great age.......... .
80- The word "bear out" in the first line is closest in meaning to........... .
Passage 4
Some young people who are good at a subject at school and who have one or two teachers they look up to might be considering becoming teachers themselves. What these young people need to remember, however, is that being good at a subject does not mean you will necessarily be a good teacher. There is a Jot more to teaching than knowing your stuff. For the right kind of person, teaching is a career that can be immensely satisfying. However, if you are not up to the cha11enges of working with groups of 30 or so overly hormonal teenagers, it can leave you feeling that someone just dropped you very cruelly into a pit fu11 of lions. To be a good teacher you have to be good at finding ways to get young people interested in the subject - to arouse their curiosity. This requires a profound appreciation of the way young people think and feel - something that many people lose as they pursue a narrow interest in their chosen subject. People may graduate from university with an excellent qualification but then find it almost impossible to capture the imaginations of students who come into the classroom wishing they were still out in the yard with their mates. Sometimes people who are too hooked on their own subject quickly become disillusioned with the difficulties of working with teenagers who are not patiently waiting to hear about poetry or photosynthesis. Teachers also need to be good at what is called classroom management. They need to decide how the pupils should enter the room, where they should sit, how the desks should be arranged, and they need to come up with a good lesson plan with an interesting variety of activities to keep the pupils motivated. Discipline is also a huge issue. Teachers cannot just talk enthusiastically about their subject. They also have to be good at policing the classroom. However well a lesson is planned there may still be disruptive pupils who must be dealt with firmly. Even the good pupils wiJI quickly lose respect for a teacher who obviously cannot effectively control unruly elements.
81- What is the best title for the passage?
82- The author in the first paragraph believes that............ .
83- According to the passage, teaching is a job which is both difficult and............... .
84- As the author argues, a good teacher should.............. .
85-The author suggests that teachers should............ the troublemaking students.
