	Langston Hughes was one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century. He was born in Joplin, Missouri, and moved to Cleveland at the age of fourteen. Several years later he spent one year in Mexico before attending Columbia University in New York. For a few years after that he roamed the world as a seaman, visiting ports around the world and writing some poetry. He returned to the United States and attended Lincoln University, where he won the Witter Bynner Prize for undergraduate poetry. After graduating in 1928, he traveled to Spain and to Russia with the help of a Guggenheim fellowship.
His novels include Not Without Laughter (1930) and The Big Sea (1940). He wrote an autobiography in 1956 and also published several collections of poetry. The collections include The Weary Blues (1926), The Dream Keeper (1932), Shakespeare in Harlem (1942), Fields of Wonder (1947), One Way Ticket (1947), and Selected Poems (1959). A man of many talents, Hughes was also a lyricist, librettist, and a journalist. As an older man in the 1960s he spent much of his time collecting poems from Africa and from African-Americans to popularize black writers. Hughes is one of the most accomplished writers in American literary history, and he is seen as one of the artistic leaders of the Harlem Renaissance, the period when a neighborhood that was predominantly black produced a flood of great literature, music, and other art forms depicting daily city life for African-Americans.

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 questions from 43 to 50. 
A pilot cannot fly a plane by sight alone. In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing in dense fog, a pilot must use radar, an alternative way of navigating. Since human eyes are not very good at determining speeds of approaching objects, radar can show a pilot how fast nearby planes are moving.
The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what happens when one shouts in a cave. The echo of the sounds against the walls helps a person determine the size of the cave. With radar, however, the waves are radio waves instead of sound waves. Radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 300,000 kilometers in one second. A radar set sends out a short burst of radiation waves. Then it receives the echoes produced when the waves bounce off objects. By determining the time it takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a trained technician can determine the distance between the radar set and other objects. The word “radar,” in fact, gets its name from the term “radio detection and ranging.” “Ranging” is the term for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set. Besides being of critical importance to pilots, radar is essential for air traffic control, tracking ships at sea, and for tracking weather systems and storms.
Question 43: What is the main topic of this passage? 
A. the nature of radar B. types of ranging C. alternatives to radar D. history of radar
Question 44: According to the passage, what can radar detect besides location of objects? 
A. size B. Weight C. Speed D. Shape

A. Eavesdrops B. Yells C. Confesses D. Whispers
Question 46: Which of the following words best describes the tone of this passage? 
A. Argumentative B. Imaginative C. Explanatory D. Humorous
Question 47: The word “it” in line 9 refers to which of the following? 
A. a radar set B. a short burst C. a radiation wave D. light
Question 48: Which type of waves does radar use? 
A. Sound B. Heat C. Radio D. Light 
Question 49: The word “tracking” in line 15 is closest in meaning to which of the following? 
A. repairing B. searching for C. glancing at D. fighting
Question 50: What might be inferred about radar? 
A. It takes the place of a radio. B. It gave birth to the invention of the airplane.
