16 Questions
DIRECTIONS
In this section you will read several passages. Each one is followed by several questions about it.
For questions 1-16, you are to choose the one best answer, (A), (B), (C), or (D), to each question.
Then, on your answer sheet, find the number of the question and fill in the space that corresponds
to the letter of the answer you have chosen. Answer all questions following a passage on the
basis of what is stated or implied in that passage.

READ THE FOLLOWING PASSAGE:


The railroad was not the first institution to impose regularity on society, or to draw attention to
the importance of precise timekeeping. For as long as merchants have set out their wares at
daybreak and communal festivities have been celebrated, people have been in rough agreement
with their neighbors as to the time of day. The value of this tradition is today more apparent than
ever. Were it not for public acceptance of a single yardstick of time, social life would be
unbearably chaotic: the massive daily transfers of goods, services, and information would
proceed in fits and starts; the very fabric of modem society would begin to unravel.

Example I
What is the main idea of the passage?
(A) In modem society we must make more time for our neighbors.
(B) The traditions of society are timeless.
(C) An accepted way of measuring time is essential for the smooth functioning of society.
(D) Society judges people by the times at which they conduct certain activities.

The main idea of the passage is that societies need to agree about how time is to be measured in
order to function smoothly. Therefore, you should choose (C).

Example II
In line 4, the phrase “this tradition” refers to....
(A) the practice of starting the business day at dawn
(B) friendly relations between neighbors
(C) the railroad’s reliance on time schedules
(D) people’s agreement on the measurement of time

The phrase “this tradition” refers to the preceding clause, “people have been in rough agreement
with their neighbors as to the time of day.” Therefore, you should choose (D).

Now begin work on the questions.


Questions 1-5
A distinctively American architecture began with Frank Lloyd Wright, who had taken to heart
the admonition that form should follow function and who thought of buildings not as separate
architectural entities but as parts of an organic whole that included the land, the community, and
the society. In a very real way the houses of colonial New England and some of the southern
plantations had been functional, but Wright was the first architect to make functionalism the
authoritative principle for public as well as for domestic buildings. As early as 1906 he built the
Unity Temple in Oak Park, Illinois, the first of those churches that did so much to revolutionize
ecclesiastical architecture in the United States. Thereafter he turned his genius to such
miscellaneous structures as houses, schools, office buildings, and factories, among them the
famous Larkin Building in Buffalo, New York, and the Johnson Wax Company building in
Racine, Wisconsin.

1. The phrase “taken to heart” in line 1 is closest in meaning to which of the following?
(A) Taken seriously
(B) Criticized
(C) Memorized
(D) Taken offence

2. In what way did Wright’s public buildings differ from most of those built by earlier architects?
(A) They were built on a larger scale.
(B) Their materials came from the southern United States.
(C) They looked more like private homes.
(D) Their designs were based on how they would be used.

3. The author mentions the Unity Temple because, it


(A) was Wright’s first building
(B) influenced the architecture of subsequent churches
(C) demonstrated traditional ecclesiastical architecture
(D) was the largest church Wright ever designed

4. The passage mentions that all of the following structures were built by Wright EXCEPT
(A) factories
(B) public buildings
(C) offices
(D) southern plantations

5. Which of the following statements best reflects one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s architectural
principles?
(A) Beautiful design is more important than utility.
(B) Ecclesiastical architecture should be derived from traditional designs.
(C) A building should fit into its surroundings.
(D) The architecture of public buildings does not need to be revolutionary

Questions 6-16
There are two basic types of glaciers, those that flow outward in all directions with little regard
for any underlying terrain and those that are confined by terrain to a particular path.
The first category of glaciers includes those massive blankets that cover whole continents,
appropriately called ice sheets. There must be over 50,000 square kilometers of land covered
with ice for the glacier to qualify as an ice sheet. When portions of an ice sheet spread out over
the ocean, they form ice shelves.
About 20,000 years ago the Cordilleran Ice Sheet covered nearly all the mountains in southern
Alaska, western Canada, and the western United States. It was about 3 kilometers deep at its
thickest point in northern Alberta. Now there are only two sheets left on Earth, those covering
Greenland and Antarctica.
Any domelike body of ice that also flows out in all directions but covers less than 50,000 square
kilometers is called an ice cap. Although ice caps are rare nowadays, there are a number in
northeastern Canada, on Baffin Island, and on the Queen Elizabeth Islands.
The second category of glaciers includes those of a variety of shapes and sizes generally called
mountain or alpine glaciers. Mountain glaciers are typically identified by the landform that
controls their flow. One form of mountain glacier that resembles an ice cap in that it flows
outward in several directions is called an ice field. The difference between an ice field and an ice
cap is subtle. Essentially, the flow of an ice field is somewhat controlled by surrounding terrain
and thus does not have the domelike shape of a cap. There are several ice fields in the Wrangell.
St. Elias, and Chugach mountains of Alaska and northern British Columbia.
Less spectacular than large ice fields are the most common types of mountain glaciers: the cirque
and valley glaciers. Cirque glaciers are found in depressions in the surface of the land and have a
characteristic circular shape. The ice of valley glaciers, bound by terrain, flows down valleys,
curves around their corners, and falls over cliffs.

6. What does the passage mainly discuss?


(A) Where major glaciers are located
(B) How glaciers shape the land
(C) How glaciers are formed
(D) The different kinds of glaciers
7. The word “massive” in line 3 is closest in meaning to
(A) huge
(B) strange
(C) cold
(D) recent

8. It can be inferred that ice sheets are so named for which of the following reasons?
(A) They are confined to mountain valleys.
(B) They cover large areas of land.
(C) They are thicker in some areas than in others.
(D) They have a characteristic circular shape.

9. According to the passage, ice shelves can be found


(A) covering an entire continent
(B) buried within the mountains
(C) spreading into the ocean
(D) filling deep valleys

10. According to the passage, where was the Cordilleran Ice Sheet thickest?
(A) Alaska
(B) Greenland
(C) Alberta
(D) Antarctica

11. The word “rare” in line 12 is closest in meaning to


(A) small
(B) unusual
(C) valuable
(D) widespread

12. According to the passage (paragraph 5), ice fields resemble ice caps in which of the
following ways?
(A) Their shape
(B) Their flow
(C) Their texture
(D) Their location

13. The word “it” in line 16 refers to


(A) glacier
(B) cap
(C) difference
(D) terrain

14. The word “subtle” in line 17 is closest in meaning to


(A) slight
(B) common
(C) important
(D) measurable

15. All of the following are alpine glaciers EXCEPT


(A) cirque glaciers
(B) ice caps
(C) valley glaciers
(D) ice fields

16. Which of the following types of glaciers does the author use to illustrate the two basic types
of glaciers mentioned in line 1?
(A) Ice fields and cirques
(B) Cirques and alpine glaciers
(C) Ice sheets and ice shelves
(D) Ice sheets and mountain glaciers

The reason we're meeting today is to introduce the plan for our new office layout. Starting next
month, instead of cubicles, we will have an open office. There will be no cubicle walls or
partitions. Instead, desks will be arranged in clusters for each department. The desks in each
department will be facing each other in clusters of four or six. We feel this will facilitate better
communication between workers in each departments. It will also create a more welcoming
environment for clients.
The department managers will still have their own offices, but each will have large windows and
glass doors, to make employees and clients feel welcome to come inside. We're also going to
paint the walls and put in new carpeting. The project will start on the first of next month and
should take about three weeks to complete. We will be moving to the third floor during that
