Throughout his working life, Shakespeare worked as an actor in the midst of a troupe. We know little about his first years in London. For a few years between 1585 and 1592, his name disappears altogether from the public records, and the most likely reason for this is that, for at least some of this time, he was working for one of the city's acting companies; as a junior member he would not be listed among the troupe's principal players. In the late 1580s theatrical activity in London was largely concentrated in Shoreditch, and Southwark, districts of London Shakespeare could have lived anywhere, but Shareditch, which would have been cheap and convenient, is a likely candidate for a young actor. In his early career Shakespeare may have moved from troupe to troupe in order to survive. Whatever the case, working conditions must have been similar. Sundays, religious holidays and disasters side, a company would perform a different play each afternoon of the week, though some plays would be repeated in the weeks ahead. An actor usually had to keep at least 30 parts in his memory and a leading player such as Alleyn or Burbage must have kept in mind nearly 5,000 lines a week.
According to the passage, in Shakespeare's time, ------.
A) it was not unusual for actors to appear in a great many roles each week
B) there was no theatrical activity anywhere in England except for London
C) leading actors would only agree to appear in certain roles
D) an acting company usually staged a new play each week
E) acting was regarded as an immoral occupation
The French Revolution transformed the political and diplomatic landscape of Europe suddenly and dramatically. The transformation of industry came
more gradually. By the 1830s or 1840s, however, writers and social thinkers in Europe were increasingly aware of unexpected and extraordinary
changes in their economic world. They began to speak of an “industrial revolution,” one that seemed to parallel the revolution in politics. The term has
stayed with us. The Industrial Revolution spanned the hundred years after 1780. It represented the first breakthrough from an agricultural and
overwhelmingly rural economy to one characterized by large-scale manufacturing, more capital-intensive enterprises, and urbanization. It involved new
sources of energy and power, faster transportation, mechanization, higher productivity, and new ways of organizing human labour. It triggered social changes
with revolutionary consequences for the West and its relationship with the world. Of all these changes, perhaps the most important one was to be seen in
energy. Over the space of two or three generations, a society and an economy that had traditionally drawn on water, wind, and wood for most of its energy needs came to depend on steam engines and coal. In other words, the Industrial Revolution brought the beginnings of “the fossil fuel age.”

In 1764, there was a serious quarrel over taxation between the British government and its colonies in
America. The British government continued to think
of the colonists as British subjects. In 1700, there had
been only 200.000 colonists, but by 1770 this number
rose to 2.5 million. Obviously, such large numbers
needed to be dealt with carefully. Some American
colonists decided that it was not lawful for the British
government to tax them without their agreement.
Political opinion in Britain was divided. Some felt that
the tax was fair because the money would be used to
pay for the defence of the American colonies against
French attack. But several important politicians
agreed with the colonists that there should be “no
taxation without representation”. Hence, in 1773, at
the port of Boston, a group of colonists threw a
shipload of tea into the sea rather than pay tax on it.
The event became known as “the Boston Tea Party”.
The British government responded by closing the
port. But the colonists then decided to prevent British
goods from entering America until the port was
opened again. The colonists’ action was regarded as
a rebellion, and the British government decided to
defeat it by force. Thus, the American War of
Independence got underway. The war lasted from
1775 until 1783. The British government had no
respect for the colonists’ fighting ability. The result
was a disastrous defeat for the British forces. At the
end of the war, Britain lost all the American colonies
except Canada.
It is stated in the passage that, within a period of almost three quarters of a century, ----.
A) Britain and France got into a fierce competition in
order to colonize a very large part of America
B) Britain lost the war against the American
colonies and had to grant their independence
C) Canada grew demographically well ahead of the
other American colonies
D) Britain’s trade with the American colonies
reached a level well above all expectations
E) the population of the American colonies
increased to more than ten times the original
number

Pop music, perhaps due to its increasing commercialisation, is often criticized for being entertaining while lacking serious musical value and artistic significance. This is typically attributed by critics to record companies' financial gains being placed above artistic considerations, by hand-picking the artists and songs that will have a broad appeal and maximum profits. Sometimes, in the case of the British pop group Hear'Say, for example, young and fashionable people who have little or no prior knowledge of the music industry are transformed into a band that sells music and related merchandise to a preteen or teenage audience. A consequence of this increasingly common commercialisation is that genres which attain credibility as styles in their own right are often considered ‘independent’ instead of 'pop'. Those musicians, as well as their fans, sometimes strive to separate themselves from the commercial aspect of current pop music.
52. One can understand from the passage that ___.
A) all pop bands start without any experience in the music industry
B) musicians that consider themselves pop artists don’t take their music seriously
C) pop bands are often created by record companies and marketed to young audiences

E) Hear’Say is popular among all ages
Scientists who study Earth's moon have two big regrets about the six Apollo missions that landed a dozen astronauts on the lunar surface between 1969 and 1972. The biggest regret, of course, is that the missions ended so abruptly, with so much of the moon still unexplored. But researchers also lament that the great triumph of Apollo led to a popular misconception: because astronauts have visited the moon, there is no compelling reason to go back. In the 1990s, however, two probes that orbited the moon raised new questions about Earth's airless satellite. One stunning discovery was strong evidence of water ice in the perpetually shadowed areas near the moon's poles. Because scientists believe that comets deposited water and organic compounds on both Earth and its moon, well-preserved ice at the lunar poles could yield clues to the origins of life.
As we understand from the passage, a great many people —.
A) believe lunar missions should continue
indefinitely
B) regard the Apollo missions as a scientific breakthrough
C) are sure the moon cannot support life
D) feel that the very fact that man has landed on the moon is enough
E) regard scientific investigations of the moon as unfeasible

Mohandas Gandhi was the most important and intelligent person in all of India. Gandhi’s character was very temperamental. He was very kind and helped his country gain independence from Great Britain. Gandhi seemed to believe in using peaceful ways to fight battles, which meant he must not have been a violent person. This is also supported by the fact that he did not harm another human being once in his life (as shown in the film). He was also a very good husband and made himself be respected among his wives. He was a very determined man also because he would not give up on his cause no matter what. One event that caught my attention was when Gandhi was assassinated. The man who did this seemed to be just somebody normal who would have normally attended these gatherings and could have been a follower. The reason that it caught my eye was because I was surprised to see that none of his followers tried to take the bullet for him or anything like that. This film had a very positive effect on me. I thought that this movie was very educational and reflected a very sad yet joyous side of Indian history. I learned, from watching this movie, that a battle or war can be fought with no violence and a reasonable agreement can be reached without millions of people get killed.
56. It is emphasized in the passage that Gandhi____.
A) made a movie which revealed the secret of the war
B) was a humanist character who was for peace
C) taught his country how difficult the war was
D) was killed unjustly because he was innocent
E) was murdered in his real life because he is an important state servant of Indian

C) For starters, there's a shortage of engineers capable of designing the kind of system-on chips required for next-generation electronics.
D) Another survival strategy for chipmakers is to join with consumer electronics companies that can provide marketing savvy and expertise in applications.
E) Japan's chip industry also wants the country's universities to contribute more in the way of technology development.
