points):Part Reading Comprehension:40 pointsDirections:There are four passages in this part.Each passage isfollowed by four questions or incomplete statements.For each question orstatement,there are four choices marked A,B,C,and D.Choose only ONEthat best answers the question or finishes the incomplete statement.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Cities develop as a result of functions that they can perform.Somefunctions result directly from the ingenuity of the citizenry,but mostfunctions result from the needs of the local area and of the surroundinghinterland(the region that supplies goods to the city and to which the cityfurnishes services and other goods).Geographers often make a distinctionbetween the situation and the site of a city.Situation refers to the generalposition in relation to the surrounding region,whereas site involves physical,characteristics of the specific location.Situation is normally much moreimportant to the continuing prosperity of a city.If a city is well situated inregard-to its hinterland,its development is much more likely to continue.Chicago,for example,possesses an almost unparalleled situation:it is locatedat the southern end of a huge lake that forces east-west transportation lines tobe compressed into its vicinity,and at a meeting of significant land and watertransport routes.It also overlooks what is one of the worlds finest largefarming regions.These factors ensured that Chicago would become a greatcity regardless of the disadvantageous characteristics of the available site,such as being prone to flooding during thunderstorm activity.Similarly,it can be argued that much of New York Citys importancestems from its early and continuing advantage of situation.Philadelphia andBoston both originated at about the same time as New York and shared NewYorks location at the western end of one of the worlds most importantoceanic trade routes,but only New York possesses an easy-access functionalconnection(the Hudson-Mohawk lowland)to the vast Midwestern hinterland.This account does not alone explain New Yorks primacy,but it does includeseveral important factors.Among the many aspects of situation that help toexplain why some cities grow and others do not,original location on anavigable waterway seems particularly applicable.Of course,suchcharacteristic as slope,drainage,power resources,river crossings,coastalshapes,and other physical characteristics help to determine city location,butsuch factors are normally more significant in early stages of city developmentthan later.1.What does the passage mainly discuss?A.The development of trade routes through United States cities.B.Contrasts in settlement patterns in United States.C.Historical differences among three large United States cities.D.The importance of geographical situation in the growth of UnitedStates cities.2.The word“ingenuity”in line 2.is closest in meaning to _.A.wealthB.resourcefulnessC.traditionsD.organization3.The passage suggests that a geographer would consider a citys soiltype part of its _.A.hinterlandB.situationC.siteD.function4.According to the

to import food supplies5.The author mentions each of the following as an advantage ofChicagos location EXCEPT its _.A.hinterlandB.nearness to a large lakeC.position in regard to transport routesD.flat terrainQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:The Harlem Renaissance,a movement of the 1920s,marked thetwentieth centurys first period of intense activity by African Americans inthe field of literature,art,and music in the United States.The philosophy ofthe movement combined realism,ethnic consciousness,and Americanism.Encouraged by the example of certain Americans of European descent suchas Thomas Eakins,Robert Henri,and George Luks,who had includedpersons of African descent in their paintings as serious studies rather than astrivial or sentimental stereotypes,African American artists of this period setabout creating a new portrayal of themselves and their lives in the UnitedStates.As they began to strive for social and cultural independence,theirattitudes toward themselves changed,and,to some extent,other segments ofAmerican society began to change their attitudes toward them.Thus,thoughthe Harlem Renaissance was a short-lived movement,its impact on Americanart and culture continues to the present.The district in New York City known as Harlem was the capital of themovement.In 1925 an issue of Survey Graphic magazine devoted exclusivelyto Harlem and edited by philosopher Alain Locke became the manifesto ofthe African American artistic movement.Locke strongly suggested thatindividuals,while accepting their Americanism,take pride in their Africanancestral arts and urged artists to look to Africa for substance and inspiration.Far from advocating a withdrawal from American culture,as did some of hiscontemporaries,Locke recommended a culture pluralism through whichartists could enrich the culture of America.African Americans were urged byLocke to be collaborators and participators with other Americans in art,literature,and music;and at the same time to preserve,enhance,and promotetheir own cultural heritage.Artists and intellectuals from many parts of theUnited States and the Caribbean had been attracted to Harlem by the pulseand beat of its unique and dynamic culture.From this unity created by theconvergence of artists from various social and geographical backgroundscame a new spirit,which,particularly in densely populated Harlem,was toresult in greater group awareness and self-determination.African Americangraphic artists took their place beside the poets and writers of the HarlemRenaissance and carried on efforts to increase and promote the visual arts.6.What does the passage mainly discuss?A.African American paintings in the 1920sB.African culture in the 1920sC.The influence of Alain Locke on African American artD.The beliefs and influence of a Black cultural movement7.According to the passage,Tomas Eakins,Robert Henri,and GeorgeLuks were important because of _.A.the philosophical contributions they made to the Harlem RenaissanceB.their development of a new style of African American artC.they way in which they depicted African Americans in theirD.their independence from European artistic traditions8.According to the passage,African American artists of the 1920sdiffered from earlier AfricanAmerican artists in terms of their feelings about _.A.themselvesB.other artistsC.their impact on

passage:Before the 1500s,the western plains of North America were dominatedby farmers.One group,the Mandans,lived in the upper Missouri Rivercountry,primarily in present-day North Dakota.They had large villages ofhouses built close together.The tight arrangement enabled the Mandans toprotect themselves more easily from the attacks of others who might seek toobtain some of the food these highly capable farmers stored from one year tothe next.The women had primary responsibility for the fields.They had toexercise considerable skill to produce the desired results,for their northernlocation meant fleeting growing seasons.Winter often lingered;autumncould be ushered in by severe frost.For good measure,during the spring andsummer,drought,heat,hail,grasshoppers,and other frustrations might awaitthe wary grower.Under such conditions,Mandan women had to grow maize capable ofweathering adversity.They began as early as it appeared feasible to do so inthe spring,clearing the land,using fire to clear stubble from the fields andthen planting.From this point until the first green corn could be harvested,the crop required labor and vigilance.Harvesting proceeded in two stages.In August the Mandans picked asmaller amount of the crop before it had matured fully.This green corn wasboiled,dried,and shelled,with some of the maize slated for immediateconsumption and the rest stored in animal-skin bags.Later in the fall,thepeople picked the rest of the corn.They saved the best of the harvest forseeds or for trade,with the remainder eaten right away or stored for later usein underground reserves.With appropriate banking of the extra food,theMandans protected themselves against the disaster of crop failure andaccompanying hunger.The women planted another staple,squash,about the first of June,andharvested it near the time of the green com harvest.After they picked it,theysliced it,dried it,and strung the slices before they stored them.Once again,they saved the seed from the best of the years crop.The Mandans also grewsunflowers and tobacco;the latter was the particular task of the old men.11.The Mandans built their houses close together in order to _.A.guard their supplies of foodB.protect themselves against the
