Carbon tetrachloride is a colorless and inflammable liquid
that can be produced by combining carbon disulfide and chlorine. This compound
is widely used in industry today because of its effectiveness as a solvent as
well as its use in the production of propellants.
Despite its widespread use in
industry, carbon tetrachloride has been banned for home use. In the past,
carbon tetrachloride was a common ingredient in cleaning compounds that were
used throughout the home, but it was found to be dangerous: when heated, it
changes into a poisonous gas that can cause severe illness and even death if it
is inhaled. Because of this dangerous characteristic, the United States revoked
permission for the home use of carbon tetrachloride in 1970. The United States
has taken similar action with various other chemical compounds.

The
next artist in this survey of American artist is James Whistler; he is included
in this survey of American artist because he was born in the United States,
although the majority of his artwork was completed in Europe. Whistler was born
in Massachusetts in 1834, but nine years later his father moved the family to
St. Petersburg, Russia, to work on the construction of a railroad. The family
returned to the United States in 1849. Two years later Whistler entered the
U.S. military academy at West Point, but he was unable to graduate. At the age
of twenty-one Whistler went to Europe to study art despite familial objections,
and he remained in Europe until his death.
Whistler
worked in various art forms, including etchings and lithographs. However, he is
most famous for his paintings, particularly Arrangement in Gray and Black No.

known. This painting shows a side view of Whistler’s mother, dressed I black
and posing against a gray wall. The asymmetrical nature of the portrait, with

Questions
20-30
The
locations of stars in the sky relative to one another do not appear to the
naked eye to change, and as a result stars are often considered to be fixed in
position. Many unaware stargazers falsely assume that each star has its own
permanent home in the nighttime sky.
In
reality, though, stars are always moving, but because of the tremendous
distances between stars themselves and from stars to Earth, the changes are
barely perceptible here. An example of a rather fast-moving star demonstrates
why this misconception prevails; it takes approximately 200 years for a
relatively rapid star like Bernard's star to move a distance in the skies equal
to the diameter of the earth's moon. When the apparently negligible movement of
the stars is contrasted with the movement of the planets, the stars are
seemingly unmoving.
20.

for this passage?
A.
What the eye can see in the sky

Questions
31-40
It has been noted
that, traditionally, courts have granted divorces on fault grounds: one spouse
is deemed to be at fault in causing the divorce. More and more today, however,
divorces are being granted on a no-fault basis.
Proponents of
no-fault divorces argue that when a marriage fails, it is rarely the case that
one marriage partner is completely to blame and the other blameless. A failed
marriage is much more often the result of mistakes by both partners.
Another argument
in favor of no-fault divorce is that proving fault in court, in a public arena,
is a destructive process that only serves to lengthen the divorce process and
that dramatically increases the negative feelings present in a divorce. If a
couple can reach a decision to divorce without first deciding which partner is
to blame, the divorce settlement can be negotiated more easily and equitably
and the postdivorce healing process can begin more rapidly.

What does the passage mainly discuss?
A.
Traditional grounds for divorce
B.
Who is at fault in a divorce

Question
41-50
Whereas
literature in the first half of the eighteenth century in America had been largely
religious and moral in tone, by the latter half of the century the
revolutionary fervor that was coming to life in the colonies began to be
reflected in the literature of the time, which in turn served to further
influence the population. Although not all writers of this period supported the
Revolution, the two best-known and most influential writers, Ben Franklin and
Thomas Paine, were both strongly supportive of that cause.
Ben
Franklin first attained popular success through his writings in his brother's
newspaper, the New England Current. In these articles he used a simple style of
language and common sense argumentation to defend the point of view of the
farmer and the Leather Apron man. He continued with the same common sense
practicality and appeal to the common man with his work on Poor Richard's
Almanac from 1733 until 1758. Firmly established in his popular acceptance by
the people, Franklin wrote a variety of extremely effective articles and
pamphlets about the colonist's revolutionary cause against England.
Thomas
Paine was an Englishman working as a magazine editor in Philadelphia at the
time of the Revolution. His pamphlet Common Sense, which appeared in 1776, was
a force in encouraging the colonists to declare their independence from England.
Then throughout the long and desperate war years he published a series of
Crisis papers (from 1776 until 1783) to encourage the colonists to continue on
with the struggle. The effectiveness of his writing was probably due to his
emotional yet oversimplified depiction of the cause of the colonists against
England as a classic struggle of good and evil.
