 SECTION 4
One day, a thirsty fox fell into a well as she was getting a drink of water. She
could not find a way to climb back up. After a short time, a thirsty goat came to the
edge of the well* and seeing the fox below him, he asked if the water was safe to drink.
Thinking quickly, the fox said the water was pure and delicious and suggested that the
5 goat come down to have a drink. The goat immediately jumped into the well. After he
had enough to drink, he asked the fox how he could get back up and out of the well.
The fox replied, “1 have a plan. Put your front legs against the wall, and hold your
horns up. I will climb up your back, onto your horns, and then I will jump out of the well.
Once I’m out, I'll help you get out.” The goat agreed, and the fox quickly got out
10 of the well. The goat called out to her: "Oh, Ms. Fox, you said you would help me get
out of the well.” The fox called down to the goat, “Friend, if you had half as many

 Some myths are stories told by early civilizations to explain the origins of natural
phenomena. The Greek myth that explains the origin of the seasons is about Demeter,
the goddess of the harvest. She had a daughter, Persephone, whom she loved very
much. Hades, god of the underworld, fell in love with Persephone, and he asked Zeus,
5 the ruler of the gods, to give Persephone to him as his wife. Zeus did not want to offend
either Hades or Persephone, so he said he would not agree to the marriage, but neither
would he forbid it. Hades, therefore, decided to take the girl without permission. As
she was picking flowers in a meadow, he seized her and took her to the underworld.
When Demeter found out what happened to Persephone, she became so angry that she
10 caused all plants to stop growing. People were in danger of starving. But Demeter
swore that no food would grow until Persephone was returned to her. Zeus, still not
wanting to offend Hades, set a condition for Persephone’s return. She could go back to
her mother if she had not eaten anything while she was in the underworld. Demeter did
not know it, but Persephone had eaten several pomegranate seeds in the underworld.
15 When Zeus discovered this, he permitted a compromise. Persephone could spend part of
the year with her mother, but because she had eaten the seeds, she must spend part of
the year in the underworld. And when Persephone is in the underworld, Demeter is
sad, and therefore will not let the crops grow. That is why we have winter, when
plants do not grow. When Persephone returns, Demeter is happy, it is spring, and
20 plants begin to grow again.

 Whose woods these are I think I know

And miles to go before I sleep.

 Compact discs (CDs), which may he found in over 25 million American homes, not
to mention backpacks and automobiles, first entered popular culture in the 1980s. But
their history goes back to the 1960s, when an inventor named James Russell decided to
create an alternative to his scratched and warped phonograph records —a system that
5 could record, store, and replay music without ever wearing out.
The result was the compact disc (CD). Made from 1. 2 mm of polycarbonate
Plastic, the disc is coated with a much thinner aluminum layer that is then protected
with a film of lacquer. The lacquer layer can he printed with a label. CDs are typically
120 mm in diameter, and can store about 74 minutes of music. There are also discs that
10 can store 80. 90, 99 and 100 minutes of music, but they are not as compatible with
various stereos and computers as the 74‐minute size.
The information on a standard CD is contained on the polycarbonate layer, as a
single spiral track of pits, starting at the inside of the disk and circling its way to the
outside. This information is read by shining light from a 780 nm wavelength
15 semiconductor laser through the bottom of the polycarbonate layer. The light from the
laser follows the spiral track of pits, and is then reflected off either the pit or the
aluminum layer. Because the CD is read through the bottom of the disc, each pit looks
like a bump to the laser.
Information is read as the laser moves over the bumps (where no light will be
20 reflected) and the areas that have no bumps» also known as land (where the laser light
will be reflected off the aluminum). The changes in reflectivity are interpreted by a
part of the compact disc player known as the detector. It is the job of the detector to
convert the information collected by the laser into the music that was originally
recorded onto the disc. This invention brought 22 patents to James Russell, who today
25 says he working on an even better system for recording and playing back music.
16. According to the passage, why did James Russell invent the CD?
(A) He was tired of turning over his records to hear both sides.
(B) He wanted to record more music on a new format.
(C) He wanted a purer, more durable sound than he could get from vinyl records.
(D) He was interested in getting patents.
(E) He wanted to work with lasers.

17. What would happen if the detector on a CD player malfunctioned?

(A) The spiral track would not be read properly.
(B) The pits and land would look like one unit.
(C) The changes in reflectivity would be absorbed back into the laser.
(D) The music would play backwards.
(E) The information read by the laser would not be converted into music.

18. Paragraph 3, explains all of the following EXCEPT______.

(A) how the information on a CD is read
(B) why semiconductor lasers were invented
(C) where information is stored on a CD
(D) what pits and bumps are
(E) the purpose of the aluminum layer of a CD
 You know, of course, that in China the Emperor is a Chinaman, and all the people
around him are Chinamen too. It happened a good many years ago, but that's just why
it's worthwhile to hear the story, before it is forgotten. The Emperor’s palace was the
most splendid in the world; entirely and altogether made of porcelain, so costly, but so
5 brittle, so difficult to handle that one had to be terribly careful. In the garden were to
be seen the strangest flowers, and to the most splendid of them silver bells were tied,
which tinkled so that nobody should pass by without noticing the flowers. Oh, the
Emperor's garden had been laid out very smartly, and it extended so far that the
gardener himself didn’t know where the end was. If you went on and on, you came into
10 the loveliest forest with high trees and deep lakes. The forest went right down to the
sea, which was blue and deep; tall ships could sail right in under the branches of the
trees; and in the trees lived a nightingale, which sang so sweetly that even the poor
fisherman, who had many other things to do, stopped still and listened when he had
gone out at night to take up his nets and then heard the nightingale.

 The history of modern pollution problems shows that most have resulted from
negligence and ignorance. We have an appalling tendency to interfere with nature
before all of the possible consequences of our actions have been studied indepth. We
produce and distribute radioactive substances, chemicals, and many other
5 potent compounds before fully comprehending their effects on living organisms. Our
education is dangerously incomplete.
It is often argued that the purpose of science is to move into unknown territory, to
explore, and to discover. It can be said that similar risks have been taken before, and
that these risks are necessary to technological progress.
10 These arguments overlook an important element. In the past, risks taken in the
name of scientific progress were restricted to a small place and a brief period of time.
The effects of the processes we now strive to master are neither localized nor brief. Air
pollution covers vast urban areas. Ocean pollutants have been discovered in nearly
every part of the world. Synthetic chemicals spread over huge stretches of forest and
15 farmland may remain in the soil for decades. Radioactive pollutants will be found in the
biosphere for generations. The size and persistence of these problems have grown with
the expanding power of modem science.
One might also argue that the hazards of modern pollutants are small compared to
the dangers associated with other human activity. No estimate of the actual harm done
20 by smog, fallout, or chemical residues can obscure the reality that the risks are being
taken before being fully understood.
The importance of these issues lies in the failure of science to predict and control
human intervention into natural processes. The true measure of the danger is
represented by the hazards we will encounter if we enter the new age of technology
25 without first evaluating our responsibility to the environment.
24. According to the author, the major cause of pollution is the result of______.
(A) a lack of understanding of the history of technology
(B) scientists who are too willing to move into unknown territory
(C) changing our environment before understanding the effects of these changes

(A) science is progressing faster than ever before
(B) the materials used are more dangerous to scientists
(C) the problems are greater
(D) technology has produced more dangerous chemicals
(E) the effects may be felt by more people for a longer period of time

26. The author apparently believes that the problem of finding solutions to pollution
depends on______.
(A) overcoming technical difficulties
(B) the willingness of scientists to understand possible dangers before using new
products in the environment
(C) the removal of all potential pollutants from their present uses
(D) a new age of science that will repair the faults of our present technology

 There were moments of waiting. The youth thought of the village street at home
before the arrival of the circus parade on a day in the spring. He remembered how he
had stood, a small thrillful boy, prepared to follow the band in its faded chariot. He saw
the yellow road, the lines of expectant people, and the sober houses. He particularly
5 remembered an old fellow who used to sit upon a cracker box in front of the store and
pretend to despise such exhibitions. A thousand details of color and form surged in his
mind.
Someone cried, “Here they come!” There was rustling and muttering among
the men.
10 They displayed a feverish desire to have every possible cartridge ready to their
hands. The boxes were pulled around into various positions, and adjusted with great
care.
The tall soldier, having prepared his rifle, produced a red handkerchief of some
kind. He was engaged in knitting it about his throat with exquisite attention to its
15 position, when the cry was repeated up and down the line in a muffled roar of sound.
“Here they come! Here they come!” Gun locks clicked.
Across the smoke‐infested fields came a brown swarm of running men who were
giving shrill yells. They came on, stooping and swinging their rifles at all angles. A
flag, tilted forward, sped near the front.

 The cowboy of the American West is an enduring icon in popular culture, but
Hawaiian cowboys predated their American counterparts by several decades. In 1792.
King Kamehameha the Great of Hawaii received gifts of beef cattle, goats, sheep, and horses,
from Captain George Vancouver. The introduction of these unfamiliar animals caused unrest
5 among the native islanders, because the unruly animals often trampled
the crops in their fields. Initially, the king protected his imports from wrathful
Hawaiians under kapu laws. But in 1830, Kamehameha III decided to hire a few Spanish
vaqueros from California to keep the animals under control. Soon the Hawaiians were
