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. 
American humor and American popular heroes were born together. The first popular heroes of the 
new nation were comic heroes, and the first popular humor of the new nation was the antics of its hero-
clowns. 
The heroic and the comic were combined in novel American proportions in popular literature. The 
heroic themes are obvious enough and not much different from those in the legends of other times 
and places: Achilles, Beowulf, Siegfried, Roland, and King Arthur. The American Davy Crockett legends 
repeat the familiar pattern of the old world heroic story: the pre-eminence of a mighty hero whose fame in 
myth has a tenuous basis in fact; the remarkable birth and precocious strength of the hero; single combats 
in which he distinguished himself against antagonists, both man and beast; vows and boasts; pride of the 
hero in his weapons, his dog, and his woman. 
Davy Crockett conquered man and beast with a swaggering nonchalance. He overcame animals by 
force of body and will. He killed four wolves at the age of six. He hugged a bear to death; he killed a 
rattlesnake with his teeth. He mastered the forces of nature. Crockett’s most famous natural exploit was 
saving the earth on the coldest day in history. First, he climbed a mountain to determine the trouble. Then 
he rescued all creation by squeezing bear-grease on the earth’s frozen axis and over the sun’s icy face. He 
whistled, “Push along, keep moving!” The earth gave a grunt and began moving. 
Neither the fearlessness nor the bold huntsman’s prowess was peculiarly American. Far more 
distinctive was the comic quality, all heroes are heroic; few are also clowns. What made the American 
popular hero heroic also made him comic. “May be”, said Crockett, “you’ll laugh at me and not at my 
book”. The ambiguity of American life and the vagueness which laid the continent open to adventure, 
which made the land a rich storehouse of the unexpected, which kept vocabulary ungoverned and the 
language fluid----this same ambiguity suffused both the Crockett legends were never quite certain whether 
to laugh or to applaud, or whether what they saw and heard was wonderful, awful or ridiculous. 
Question 6: What is the main point the author makes in the passage? 
A. Davy Crockett wrote humorous stories about mastering the nature. 
B. American popular heroes were characteristically comic. 
C. The Davy Crockett stories reflected the adventurous spirit of early America. 
D. American popular literature was based on the legends of other times and places.

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. 
The technology of the North American colonies did not differ strikingly from that of Europe, but in 
one respect, the colonists enjoyed a great advantage. Especially by comparison with Britain, Americans 
had a wonderfully plentiful supply of wood. 
The first colonists did not, as many people imagine, find an entire continent covered by a climax 
forest. Even along the Atlantic seaboard, the forest was broken at many points. Nevertheless, all sorts of 
fine trees abounded, and through the early colonial period, those who pushed westward encountered new 
forests. By the end of the colonial era, the price of wood had risen slightly in eastern cities, but wood was 
still extremely abundant. 
The availability of wood brought advantages that have seldom been appreciated. Wood was a 
foundation of the economy. Houses and all manner of buildings were made of wood to a degree unknown 
in Britain. Secondly, wood was used as fuel for heating and cooking. Thirdly, it was used as the source of 
important industrial compounds, such as potash, an industrial alkali; charcoal, a component of gunpowder; 
and tannic acid, used for tanning leather. 
The supply of wood conferred advantages but had some negative aspects as well. Iron at that time 
was produced by heating iron ore with charcoal. Because Britain was so stripped of trees, she was unable to 
exploit her rich iron mines. But the American colonies had both iron ore and wood; iron production was 
encouraged and became successful. However, when Britain developed coke smelting, the Colonies did not 
follow suit because they had plenty of wood and besides, charcoal iron was stronger than coke iron. Coke 
smelting led to technologic innovations and was linked to the emergence of the Industrial Revolution. In 
the early nineteenth century, the former colonies lagged behind Britain in industrial development because 
their supply of wood led them to cling to charcoal iron. 
Question 48: What does the passage mainly discuss? 
A. The advantages of using wood in the colonies 
B. The effects of an abundance of wood on the colonies 
C. The roots of the Industrial Revolution 
D. The difference between charcoal iron and coke iron 
Question 49: The word strikingly in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to__________. 
A. realistically B. dramatically C. completely D. immediately 
Question 50: Which of the following is a common assumption about the forests of North America during 
the colonial period? 
A. They contained only a few types of trees. 
B. They existed only along the Atlantic seaboard. 
C. They had little or no economic value. 
D. They covered the entire continent. 
Question 51: The word “abundant” in paragraph 3 is closest meaning to_________. 
A. redundant B. sufficient C. insufficient D. plentiful

Question 52: According to the passage, by the end of the colonial period, the price of wood in Eastern 
cities__________. 
A. rose quickly because wood was becoming so scarce. 
B. was much higher than it was in Britain. 
C. was slightly higher than in previous years. 
D. decreased rapidly because of lower demand for wood. 
Question 53: What can be inferred about houses in Britain during the period written about in the passage? 
A. They were more expensive than American houses. 
B. They were generally built with imported materials. 
C. They were typically smaller than homes in North America. 
D. They were usually built from materials built from materials other than wood. 
Question 54: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a source of industrial compounds? 
A. potash B. charcoal C. gunpowder D. tannic acid 
Question 55: Why does the author mention gunpowder in paragraph 3? 
A. To illustrate the negative aspects of some industrial processes 
B. To remind readers that the colonial era ended in warfare 
C. To give an example of a product made with wood compounds 
D. To suggest that wood was not the only important product of the colonies 
Question 56: The phrase follow suit in paragraph 4 means__________. 
A. do the same thing B. make an attempt C. have the opportunity D. take a risk 
Question 57: According to the passage, why was the use of coke smelting advantageous? 
A. It led to advances in technology. 
B. It was less expensive than wood smelting. 
C. It produced a stronger type of iron than wood smelting. 
D. It stimulated the demand for wood.
