Questions 1-10
If we believe that clothing has to do with covering the body, and costume with the choice of a
particular form of garment for a particular use, then we can say that clothing depend primarily on such
physical conditions as climate, health, and textile manufacture, whereas costume reflect social factors
such as religious beliefs, aesthetics, personal status, and the wish to be distinguished from or to emulate
our fellows.
The ancient Greeks and the Chinese believed that we first covered our bodies for some physical
reason such as protecting ourselves from the weather elements. Ethnologists and psychologists have
invoked psychological reasons: modesty in the case of ancients, and taboo, magical influence and the
desire to please for the moderns.
In early history, costume must have fulfilled a function beyond that of simple utility, perhaps through
some magical significance, investing primitive man with the attributes of other creatures. Ornaments
identified the wearer with animals, gods, heroes or other men. This identification remains symbolic in
more sophisticated societies. We should bear in mind that the theater has its distant origins in sacred
performances, and in all period children at play have worn disguises, so as to adapt gradually to adult
life.
Costume helped inspire fear or impose authority. For a chieftain, costume embodied attributes
expressing his power, while a warrior’s costume enhanced his physical superiority and suggested he was
superhuman. In more recent times, professional or administrative costume has been devised to
distinguish the wearer and express personal or delegated authority; this purpose is seen clearly in the
judge’s robes and the police officer’s uniform. Costume denotes power, and since power is usually
equated with wealth, costume came to be an expression of social caste and material prosperity. Military
uniform denotes rank and is intended to intimidate, to protect the body and to express membership in a
group. At the bottom of the scale, there are such compulsory costumes as the convict’s uniform. Finally,
costume can possess a religious significance that combines various elements: an actual or symbolic
identification with a god, the desire to express this in earthly life, and the desire to enhance the wearer’s
position of respect.

Questions 11-18

Psychologists who study information processing have identified and described several memory
structures that clarify how our memory works. They include the sensory register, short-term memory,
and long-term memory. Each structure varies as to how much information it can hold and for how long.
A description of how human process information typically begins with environmental stimuli.
Our sense receptors are constantly stimulated by visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and gustatory
stimuli. These experiences are initially recorded in the sensory register, so named because information is
thought to be encoded there in the same form in which it was perceived. The purpose of the sensory
register is to hold information one to three seconds. Information not recognized or otherwise selected
by us disappears from the system. The sensory register can hold about twelve items of information at a
time. Typists make extensive use of the sensory register in order to remember words just long enough
to get them typed. If no further processing takes place, a typist’s ability to recall that information later
is minimal. Similarly, most of us have had the experience of reading an entire page of text, only to
discover when we got to the bottom of the page, we couldn’t say anything about it except that we had
indeed “read” every word.
Once information has been recognized as meaningful, it is sent to short-term memory. In this
case, short-term is approximately 20 seconds. While this may seem surprising, it can be easily
demonstrated. If you were asked to dial an unfamiliar phone number, received a busy signal, and were
then distracted by something or someone else for 15 to 20 seconds, chances are you would have
forgotten the number at that point. Short-term memory is often referred to as “working” memory.
Most cognitive psychologists believe that the storage capacity of long-term memory is unlimited
and contains a permanent record of everything an individual has learned and experienced. Information
is encoded there to enhance its meaningfulness and organization so that it can be easily retrieved when
necessary.

(A) Objects we consider attractive
(B) Things that help us to later recall what happened

Questions 19-30

Adolphus Busch came to prominence during the Gilded Age, a time when barons of industry left
an indelible mark on the United States. And the brewing industry, Adolphus Busch was the undisputed
baron. Adolphus Busch was born in Germany and emigrated to the U.S at the age of eighteen. He
worked first as a clerk on the Mississippi river front and then decided to sell brewery supplies. One of his
costumers was Eberhard Anheuser, owner of a struggling brewery. Busch married Anheuser’s daughter
Lilly in 1861, and three years later he was operating his father-in-law’s brewery. Within five years, he
more than doubled the brewery’s output, from 6000 to 16000 barrels. Deciding that brewing was his
calling, he became a full business partner in 1869.
Busch decided business would be even better if the market could be expanded. Production was
limited by the amount of available storage space. In the days before refrigeration, brewers relied n caves
to store their beer. Anheuser’s caves were completely full. Expanding the market woul also mean
shipping beer to the locations, which took time and resulted in spoilage for the highly perishavle
product. That is why brewing had always been a local business. Busch saw the problems of finite cave
space and long-distance shipping simply as obstacles to be overcome.
So, with little more than conviction to sustain him, he set out to overcome these hurdles. He
traveled to Europe to learn about the latest advances in brewing. While there, he heard about
pasteurization, a process that kept beverages from spoiling.. at the 1876 World’s Fair in Philadelphia, he
got his first glimpse of the newy invented refrigerated railcar. He ordered five. And so, through
persistence and experimentation, Busch found a way around spoilage and storage constraints,
revolutionizing an entire industry. He was the first to introduce pasteurization and to use artificial
refrigeration, ultimately shipping his beer all over the country in a fleet of 850 refrigerated railcars.
Busch was a flamboyant promoter, recognizing early on that making the world’s best beers did
not good unless people knew about them. His marketing acumen became legendary in the brewing
industry. He was a dapper man who wore a white carnation and, in place of calling cards, gave his
business associates pocket knives featuring his portrait.
By the time he died in 1913 at the age of seventy-four, Busch had amassed tremendous wealth
and attained great position. Few people at that time could dispute the accomplishments of this self-
made man.

Questions 31-41

The initial contact between American Indians and European settlers usually involved trade,
whereby Indians acquired tools and firearms and the Europeans obtained furs. These initial events
usually pitted Indian tribes against each other as they competed for the European trade and for the
lands containing fur-producing animals. When the furs had been depleted, the Europeans began a
campaign to obtain the lands the Indians occupied. The Indians often formed confederations and
alliances to fight back the Europeans; however, the Indians’ involvement in the white people’s wars
usually disrupted these confederations. Indians resisted the attempts by the whites to displace them.
They fought defensive wars such as the Black Hawk War in 1832. Indian uprisings also occurred, like the
Sioux uprising in the 1860s.
Despite the resistance of the Indians, the Europeans were destined to win the conflict. After
Indian resistance was crushed, the whites legitimized the taking of Indian lands by proposing treaties,
frequently offering gifts to Indian chiefs to get them sign the treaties. Once an Indian group had signed a
treaty, the whites proceeded to remove them from their land. Often the Indians were forced west of the
Mississippi into Indian Territory-land the whites considered uninhabitable. If only a few Indians
remained after the conquest, they were often absorbed by local tribes or forced onto reservations.
No aspect of American history is more poignant than the accounts of the forced removal of
Indians across the continent. As white settlers migrated farther west, Indians were forced to sign new
treaties giving up the lands earlier treaties had promised them. Some Indian tribes, realizing
the futility of resistance, accepted their fate and moved westward without force. The Winnebagos, who
offered little resistance, were shifted from place to place between 1829 and 1866. About half of them
perished during their perpetual sojourn. Other tribes, however, bitterly resisted. The Seminoles signed a
treaty in 1832 but violently resisted removal. Hostilities broke out in 1835 and continued for seven
years. The United States government lost nearly 1,500 men and spent over $50 million in its attempts to
crush Seminole resistance. Most of Seminoles were eventually forced to Indian Territory. However,
several hundred remained in the Florida Everglades, where their descendants live today.

Questions 42-50

All North American canids have a doglike appearance characterized by a little body, long muzzle,
erect ears, slender legs, and bushy tail. Most are social animals: wolves travel in packs with a clearly
established hierarchy of dominance, coyotes hunt in smaller groups or pairs, and only foxes are solitary.
As a result of years of persecution, most canids have decreased greatly. The coyote, however, has
thrived alongside man, increasing in both numbers and range.
Its common name comes from coyotl, the term used by Mexico's Nahuatl Indians, and its
scientific name, canis latrans, means "barking dog" . The coyote's vocalizations are varied, but the most
distinctive are given at dusk, dawn or during the night and consist of a series of barks followed by a
prolonged howl and ending with short, sharp yaps. This call keeps the band alert to the locations of its
members. one voice usually prompts others to join in, resulting in the familiar chorus heard at night
throughout the west.
The best runner among the canids, the coyote is able to leap fourteen feet and cruise normally
at 25-30 miles per hours. It is a strong swimmer and does not hesitate to enter water after prey. In
feeding, the coyote is an opportunist, eating rabbit, mice, ground squirrels, birds, snakes, insects, many
kinds of fruits, and carrion. To catch Large prey, such as deer or antelope, the coyote may team up with
one or two others, running in relays to tire prey or waiting in ambush while others chase prey toward it.
Often a badger serves as involuntary supplier of smaller prey: While it digs for rodents at one end of
their burrows, the coyote waits for any that may emerge form an escape hole at the other end.
Predators of coyote once included the grizzly and black bears, the mountain lion, and wolf, but
with their declining population these are no longer a threat. Man is the Major enemy, especially since
coyote pelts have become increasingly valuable, but the coyote population continues to increase,
despite efforts at trapping and poisoning.
