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 following questions
During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the contribution of
women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formed United States. Lacking the right to
vote and absent from the seats of power, women were not considered an important force in history. Anne
Bradstreet wrote some significant poetry in the seventeenth century, Mercy Otis Warren produced the best
contemporary history of the American Revolution, and Abigail Adams penned important letters showing she
exercised great political influence over her husband, John, the second President of the United States. But little
or no notice was taken of these contributions. During these centuries, women remained invisible in history
books.
Throughout the nineteenth century, this lack of visibility continued, despite the efforts of female authors
writing about women. These writers, like most of their male counterparts, were amateur historians. Their
writings were celebratory in nature, and they were uncritical in their selection and use of sources.
During the nineteenth century, however, certain feminists showed a keen sense of history by keeping
records of activities in which women were engaged. National, regional, and local womens organizations
compiled accounts of their doings. Personal correspondence, newspaper clippings, and souvenirs were saved
and stored. These sources form the core of the two greatest collections of womens history in the United States
one at the Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe College, and the other the Sophia Smith
Collection at Smith College. Such sources have provided valuable materials for later generations of historians.
Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women during the nineteenth century, most of
the writing about women conformed to the great women theory of history, just as much of mainstream
American history concentrated on great men. To demonstrate that women were making significant
contributions to American life, female authors singled out women leaders and wrote biographies, or else
important women produced their autobiographies. Most of these leaders were involved in public life as
reformers, activists working for womens right to vote, or authors, and were not representative at all of the
great mass of ordinary women. The lives of ordinary people continued, generally, to be untold in the American
histories being published.
Question 38: What does the passage mainly discuss ?
A. The keen sense of history shown by American women.
B. The great women approach to history used by American historians.
C. The role of literature in early American histories.
D. The place of American women in written histories.
Question 39: The word contemporary in line 5 means that the history was _______.
A. informative
B. written at that time
C. thoughtful
D. faultfinding
Question 40: In the first paragraph, Bradstreet, Warren, and Adams are mentioned to show that
A. poetry produced by women was more readily accepted than other writing by women.
B. only three women were able to get their writing published.
C. even the contributions of outstanding women were ignored.
D. a womans status was changed by marriage.
Question 41: The word celebratory in line 11 means that the writings refers to ______.
A. related to parties B. full of praise
C. religious
D. serious
Question 42: It can be inferred from the passage that during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
A. both male and female writers had no writing about women.
B. women had right to vote and could take seats of power.
C. womens contribution to the society was not highly appreciated.
D. women had a great influence on the politics, literature and history.
Question 43: In the second paragraph, what weakness in nineteenth-century histories does the author point out?
A. They put too much emphasis on daily activities.
B. They left out discussion of the influence on money on politics

C. The sources of the information they were based on were not necessarily accurate.
D. They were printed on poor quality paper.
Question 44: What use was made of the nineteenth-century womens history materials in the Schlesinger
Library and the Sophia Smith Collection?
A. They were combined and published in a multivolume encyclopedia about women.
B. They were shared among womens colleges throughout the United States.
C. They formed the basis of college courses in the nineteenth-century.
D. They provided valuable information for twentieth century historical researchers.
Question 45: In the last paragraph, the author mentions all of the following as possible roles of nineteenthcentury great women EXCEPT
A. activists for womens rights
B. politicians
C. authors
D. reformers
Question 46: The word representative in line 24 is closest in meaning to

Read the passages and circle the best option A, B, C, or D to complete the following questions or statements
Alexis de Tocqueville, the French political scientist, historian, philosopher and politician, is most
famous for a four-volume book he wrote called Democracy in America. He came to America in 1831 to study
the American form of democracy and what it might mean to the rest of the world. After a visit of only nine
months, he wrote a remarkable book which is regarded as a classic. De Tocqueville had unusual powers of
observation. He described not only the democratic system of government and how it operated, but also its effect
on how Americans think, feel, and act. Many scholars believe he had a deeper understanding of traditional
American beliefs and values than anyone else who has written about the United States. What is so remarkable is
that many of these traits which he observed nearly 200 years ago, are still visible and meaningful today. His
observations are also important because the timing of his visit, the 1830s, was before America was
industrialized. This was the era of the small farmer, the small businessman, and the settling of the western
frontier. It was the period of history when the traditional values of the new country were newly established. In

just a generation, some 40 years since the adoption of the U.S. Constitution, the new form of government had
already produced a society of people with unique values. He was, however, a neutral observer and saw both the
good and bad sides of these qualities.
The first part of Democracy in America was written in 1831-32 and published in 1835. A highly
positive and optimistic account of American government and society, the book was very well received. He
attempted to get a glimpse of the essence of American society, all the while promoting his own philosophy: the
equaling of the classes and the inevitable depth of aristocratic privilege. The rest of the book he labored on for
four years, and in 1840 the second part was published. This was substantially more pessimistic than the first,
warning of the dangers despotism and governmental centralization, and applying his ideas and criticisms more
directly to France. As a result, it was not received as well as the first part, except in England where it was
acclaimed highly.
Question 56: The phrase these traits refers to
A. observations
B. how Americans think, feel, and act
C. traditional American beliefs and values
D. visible and meaningful observations
Question 57: What is the passage primarily about?
A. the progress achieved in America within about 40 years after adoption of the U.S. Constitution
B. Democracy in America
C. Alexis de Tocqueville
D. the impact of the book Democracy in America
Question 58: The word unique in the passage is closest in meaning to
A. clearly identifiable
B. outstanding
C. unmatched
D. positive
Question 59: According to the passage, when did de Tocqueville visit America?
A. in 1831
B. in the 1830s
C. from 1831 to 32 D. in 1835
Question 60: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. the English dont like the French
B. the book was most important because it was the first time that American values had been clearly documented
C. de Tocqueville was a slow writer
D. de Tocqueville was primarily motivated by an interest in his own country
Question 61: According to the passage, Democracy in America consisted of how many volumes?
A. three
B. one
C. two
D. four
Question 62: Which of the following is true, according to the passage?
A. the visit lasted only five months.
B. the visit coincided with American industrialization.
C. the first part was published in 1835; the second part in 1840.
D. the second part was more optimistic than the first.
Question 63: What in the passage is mentioned as being truly remarkable?
A. the book was so detailed and thorough after only such a comparatively short visit.
B. de Tocquevilles powers of observation
C. many of his observations are still visible and meaningful today.
D. that the second volume should be so pessimistic in comparison with the first.
Question 64: All of the following fields of professional interest and activity are used to describe de Tocqueville
EXCEPT
A. politician
B. political scientist C. philosopher
D. author

II. (In about 140 words) write a paragraph about the following topic:
Should mobile phones be banned among students?
Use examples and reasons to support your answer.
WRITE A PARAGRAPH:
Mobile phones have become extremely popular and widely used all over the world. About the usage of mobile
phones among students, some advocate for a complete ban, while others promote the use of them as a teaching
tool in classrooms. In my opinion, we should not ban mobile phones completely among students as they can be
useful as a tool to educate and inform students but to require schools to provide clear policy advice on the use of
mobile phones. For example, schools should discourage the use of mobile phones in the classroom unless they
can be appropriately incorporated into the learning program, or inform students and parents that mobile phones
are used at their owners risk. In the meanwhile, students should only only use mobile phones when usage will
not disrupt the normal school routine. To sum up, mobile phones can be beneficial or harmful depending on
how they are used, we should not ban them completely.

WRITE A PARAGRAPH:
Mobile phones have become extremely popular and widely used all over the world. About the usage of mobile
phones among students, some advocate for a complete ban, while others promote the use of them as a teaching
tool in classrooms. In my opinion, we should not ban mobile phones completely among students as they can be
useful as a tool to educate and inform students but to require schools to provide clear policy advice on the use of
mobile phones. For example, schools should discourage the use of mobile phones in the classroom unless they
can be appropriately incorporated into the learning program, or inform students and parents that mobile phones
are used at their owners risk. In the meanwhile, students should only only use mobile phones when usage will
not disrupt the normal school routine. To sum up, mobile phones can be beneficial or harmful depending on
how they are used, we should not ban them completely.
