51. Although rarely spoken about by society, child abuse is one of the nation's most pressing
problems today. As the population continues to grow, so does the number of unwanted
and unplanned children. It is estimated that six or seven out of a hundred children will be
maltreated or neglected. Child abuse can come in three forms: (1) passive cruelty in the
neglect of children by an unloving or uneducated parent; (2) occasional cruelty in the
momentary violent reaction of a frustrated or overburdened parent; and (3) consistent,
deliberate cruelty in uncontrollable actions by mentally sick parent. Simple neglect is the
easiest to correct. Actual abuse on the spur of the moment is more serious, but still
much less so than continual abuse due to mental illness.
The passage suggests that the problem of child abuse ...
A) does not receive as much attention as it should
B) has led to an increase in mental illness
C) is slowly being overcome
D) has been greatly overestimated
E) is confined to only a little over 10% of the population

 The most serious type of child abuse ...
A) first occurred when parents had to work long hours and were under stress
B) can be reduced by family planning programs
C) is due to ignorance or lack of interest, and so is impossible to correct
D) is that perpetuated willfully by an unbalanced parent
E) is also the type that can most easily be corrected

53. It is obvious that the purpose of education will determine the content of the curriculum,
the methods employed, the kind of education given to children and young persons. This
functional relationship is frequently overlooked. Until recently there were many
educationalists who thought that education should be discussed without reference to the
objectives and values of the community in which it was given. The number of such
theorists lessens under the impact of modern conditions, but there still exist many who
appear to think that problems of the curriculum can be dealt with in this abstract manner.
The passage emphasizes that...
A) many education theorists have been attaching too much importance to modern
conditions
B) the methods employed in education has led to noticeable improvements in the
curriculum
C) one must keep the ends in mind when determining the means of education
D) the community feels it hasn't been adequately consulted in educational matters
E) in educational policy, the needs of young people have been given undue
consideration
54. The great wave of international terrorism that first reached a climax in 1972 showed no
sign of abating in 1975. Strictly speaking, the phenomenon was not new; what was new
was its rapid growth in the 1970s, made possible by increasingly sophisticated
technology. Some of this new technology consists of specialized equipment, such as
miniaturized or remote-control detonating devices, hand-held rocket launchers, and the
like, which make terrorism more lethal, more effective, and less risky for the terrorist. But
even improvements in generally available technology are important. For example, self-
dialing international telephone communications and jet travel facilitate conspiracies
across national boundaries and the perpetration of political crimes by nationals of
countries in another. The growth of television has contributed to the easy dissemination
 of terrorist techniques, such as the hijacking of aircraft and the kidnapping of diplomats
or businessmen for ransom.
Among the terrorist activities mentioned in the passage is .....
A) propaganda
B) infiltration
C) smuggling
D) the taking of hostages
E) drug-trafficking

or businessmen for ransom.
It is argued that...
A) among the methods resorted to by terrorists, kidnapping and hijacking are the most
common
B) various advances in technology have contributed to the increase in terrorism
throughout the world
C) governments have not taken adequate measures to protect diplomats and
businessmen
D) owing to technological innovations, terrorism has been on the decline since early
1970
E) the manufacture of sophisticated technological equipment should be under strict
governmental control
56. Nigeria is heavily dependent on the export of crude oil to finance industrial development.
90% of Nigeria's exports by value are crude oil. At current production rates, known
reserves are only sufficient until the end of the century. Industrialization was boosted
 after 1973 following the fourfold increase in oil prices. In the early 1980s prices fell, and
Nigeria lost important income. Oil production peaked in 1974 when output reached 112
million tons.
It is pointed out in the passage that the sharp rise in oil prices in 1973 …
A) provided Nigeria with a high revenue well into the late 1980s
B) coincided with a considerable fall in oil production
C) put a great deal of pressure on Nigeria's oil reserves
D) contributed greatly to industrial development in Nigeria
E) had less effect on Nigeria's economy than might have been expected

prices fell, and Nigeria lost important income. Oil production peaked in 1974 when output
reached 112 million tons.
It is understood from the passage that only a fraction of Nigeria's exports …
A) are goods other than crude oil
B) would be needed to support industrial development
C) were affected by the fall in oil prices in the 1980s
D) were oil-related
E) have benefited from price increases
58. The unfavorable effects of cigarette smoking on the heart have frequently been
described, but the exact source for these effects has not been clarified. Some
investigators believe nicotine to be the culprit, and there has been some experimental
work in animals indicating that large doses of nicotine in conjunction with cholesterol
feeding and vitamin D could produce a disease of the arteries resembling that seen in
humans. An alternative explanation has been offered by other scientists who have
pointed to the possible role of carbon monoxide being inhaled with cigarette smoke.
The main concern of the passage is to ...
A) describe certain experiments on animals relating to the effects of carbon monoxide
B) emphasize the role of nicotine and vitamin D play in heart diseases
C) demonstrate that the adverse effects of smoking on the heart are still under debate
D) compare the effects on the heart of nicotine and carbon monoxide
E) give an account of the research work concerning animal disease
59. Political crime is different from everyday crime only in the motivation of the offender. A
bank robbery, theft, drug smuggling, kidnapping, or murder is no more a crime for being
politically motivated. In this perspective, terrorism is defined as ''aggravated aggression
for political ends''; this differentiates terrorism both from vandalism and from crimes of
violence in which no political motivation is detected. Political crime is therefore a wider
term than terrorism, which is an acute form of it. The connection between the two is as
between the whole and the part.
The writer argues that a crime is political ...
A) so long as it is committed against politicians
B) if it is related to vandalism
C) if violence is involved
D) only when the end-goal is political
E) when drug-running and kidnapping are excluded

A title for this passage could be …
A) Forms of Political Crime
B) Political Crime and Terrorism
C) Illegal Activities
D) Avoidance of Political Crime
E) The Spread of Terrorism
