PASSAGE

Woodrow Wilson was referring to the liberal idea of the economic market when he said that
the free enterprise system is the most efficient economic system. Maximum freedom
means maximum productiveness; our “openness” is to be the measure of our stability.
Fascination with this ideal has made Americans defy the “Old World” categories of settled
possessiveness versus unsettling deprivation, the cupidity of retention versus the cupidity of
seizure, a “status quo” defended or attacked. The United States, it was believed, had no status quo
ante. Our only “station” was the turning of a stationary wheel, spinning faster and faster. We
did not base our system on property but opportunity--which meant we based it not on stability but
on mobility. The more things changed, that is, the more rapidly the wheel turned, the steadier
we would be. The conventional picture of class politics is composed of the haves, who want
stability to keep what they have, and the have-nots, who want a touch of instability and change in
which to scramble for the things they have not. But Americans imagined a condition in which
speculators, self-makers, runners are always using the new opportunities given by our land. These
economic leaders (front-runners) would thus be mainly agents of change. The nonstarters were
considered the ones who wanted stability, a strong referee to give them some position in the race, a
regulative hand to calm manic speculation; an authority that can call things to a halt, begin things again
from compensatorily staggered “starting lines.” “Reform” in America has been sterile because it
can imagine no change except through the extension of this metaphor of a race, wider
inclusion of competitors, “a piece of the action,” as it were, for the disenfranchised. There is no
attempt to call off the race. Since our only stability is change, America seems not to honor the
quiet work that achieves social interdependence and stability. There is, in our legends, no heroism
of the office clerk, no stable industrial work force of the people who actually make the system
work. There is no pride in being an employee (Wilson asked for a return to the time when everyone was
an employer).
There has been no boasting about our social workers---they are merely signs of the system’s
failure, of opportunity denied or not taken, of things to be eliminated. We have no pride
in our growing interdependence, in the fact that our system can serve others, that we are able to
help those in need; empty boasts from the past make us ashamed of our present achievements, make
us try to forget or deny them, move away from them. There is no honor but in the Wonderland
race we must all run, all trying to win, none winning in the end (for there is no end).

26. The primary purpose of the passage is to

a. Criticise the inflexibility of American economic mythology
b. Contrast “Old World” and “New World” economic ideologies
c. Challenge the integrity of traditional political leaders
d. Champion those Americans whom the author deems to be neglected

27. According to the passage, “Old World” values were

based on
a. Ability b. Property
 c. Family connections d. Guild hierarchies
28. In the context of the author’s discussion of regulating change, which of the following could
be most probably regarded as a “strong referee” in the United States?position of the moving plate
has an impact on the forces that move it, could produce complicated and varying motions.
On the other hand, the theory is implausible because convection does not normally occur
along lines, and it certainly does not occur along
a. A school principal
b. A political theorist
c. A federal court judge
d. A social worker

29. The author sets off the word “Reform” with

quotation marks in order to
a. Emphasize its departure from the concept of settled possessiveness.
b. Show his support for a systematic program of change.
c. Underscore the flexibility and even amorphousness of United States society.
d. Assert that reform in the United States has not been fundamental.

30. It can be inferred from the passage that the author most probably thinks that giving
the disenfranchised “a piece of the action” is
a. A compassionate, if misdirected, legislative measure.
b. An example of Americans’ resistance to
profound social change.
c. An innovative program for genuine social reform.
d. A monument to the efforts of industrial
reformers.

PASSAGE

No very satisfactory account of the mechanism that caused the formation of the ocean basins
has yet been given. The traditional view supposes that the upper mantle of the earth behaves as a
liquid when it is subjected to small forces for long periods and that differences in temperature
under oceans and continents are sufficient to produce convection in the mantle of the earth with
rising convection currents under the mid-ocean ridges and sinking currents under the continents.
Theoretically, this convection would carry the continental plates along as though they were on a
conveyor belt and would provide the forces needed to produce the split that occurs along
the ridge. This view may be correct: It has the advantage that the currents are driven by
temperature
differences that themselves depend on the position of the continents. Such a back-coupling, in
which the intermediate trench, the two ridges must be moving apart. It would be odd if the rising
convection currents kept exact pace with them. An alternative theory is that the sinking part of the
plate, which is denser than the hotter surrounding mantle, pulls the rest of the plate after it. Again
it is difficult to see how this applies to the ridge in the South Atlantic, where neither the African
nor the American plate has a sinking part. Another possibility is that the sinking plate cools the
neighbouring mantle and produces convection currents that move the plates. This last
theory is attractive because it gives some hope of explaining the enclosed seas, such as the Sea of
Japan. These seas have a typical oceanic floor, except that the floor is overlaid by several
kilometers of sediment. Their floors have probably been sinking for long periods. It seems possible
that a sinking current of cooled mantle material on the upper side of the plate might be the
cause of such deep basins. The enclosed seas are an important feature of the earth’s surface, and
seriously require explanation because, addition to the enclosed seas that are developing at present
behind island arcs, there are a number of older ones of possibly similar origin, such as the Gulf of
Mexico, the Black Sea, and perhaps the North Sea.lines broken by frequent offsets or changes
in direction, as the ridge is. Also it is difficult to see how the theory applies to the plate between the
Mid- Atlantic Ridge and the ridge in the Indian Ocean. This plate is growing on both sides, and
since there is no
