  8. Of course, in one sense, the first essential for a man’s being a good citizen is his possession of the home virtues of which we think when we call a man by the emphatic adjective of manly. No man can be a good citizen who is not a good husband and a good father, who is not honest in his dealings with other men and women, faithful to his friends and fearless in the presence of his foes, who has not got a sound heart, a sound mind, and a sound body; exactly as no amount of attention to civil duties will save a nation if the domestic life is undermined, or there is lack of the rude military virtues which alone can assure a country’s position in the world. 1. According to Roosevelt, being manly is a. Being a good human b. Being a good citizen c. Being a good husband and a father d. Being a good father

  9. In a free republic the ideal citizen must be one willing and able to take arms for the defence of the flag, exactly as the ideal citizen must be the father of many healthy children. A race must be strong and vigorous; it must be a race of good fighters and good breeders, else its wisdom will come to naught and its virtue be ineffective; and no sweetness and delicacy, no love for and appreciation of beauty in art or literature, no capacity for building up material prosperity can possibly atone for the lack of the great virile virtues. 3. Antonym of “Naught” a. Death b. Prosperity c. Misery d. Entirety

  24. Read and answer the question • These seas have a typical oceanic floor, except that the floor is overlaid by several kilometres of sediment. It seems possible that a sinking current of cooled mantle material on the upper side of the plate might be the cause of such deep basins. The enclosed seas are an important feature of the earth’s surface, and seriously require explanation because, in addition to the enclosed seas that are developing at present behind island arcs, there are a number of older ones of possibly similar origin, such as the Gulf of Mexico, the Black Sea, and perhaps the North Sea. 1. It can be inferred from the passage that the deepest sediments would be found in the • (A) Indian Ocean(B) Black Sea • (C) Mid-Atlantic(D) Not given

  25. The traditional view supposes that the upper mantle of the earth behaves as a liquid when it is subjected to small forces for long periods and that differences in temperature under oceans and continents are sufficient to produce convection in the mantle of the earth with rising convection currents under the mid-ocean ridges and sinking currents under the continents. Theoretically, this convection would carry the continental plates along as though they were on a conveyor belt and would provide the forces needed to produce the split that occurs along the ridge. This view may be correct: it has the advantage that the currents are driven by temperature differences that themselves depend on the position of the continents. 2. Which of the following is sufficient to move the continental plates? • (A) rising convection currents • (B) conveyer belt • (C) Movement of mid-ocean ridges • (D) Differences in temperature under oceans and continents

  28. To consider the Byzantine military, cultural, and economic advances as differentiated aspects of a single phenomenon is reasonable. After all, these three forms of progress have gone together in a number of states and civilizations. Rome under Augustus and fifth-century Athens provide the most obvious examples in antiquity. Moreover, an examination of the apparent sequential connections among military, economic, and cultural forms of progress might help explain the dynamics of historical change. 1.What is the primary purpose of the paragraph? a. To establish the uniqueness of the Byzantine revival b. To show that Augustan Rome and fifth-century Athens are examples of cultural, economic, and military expansion c. To suggest that cultural, economic, and military advances have tended to be closely interrelated in different societies

  29. Contributing to Hughes’ woes, Herbalife’s chief counsel and legal attack dog, Daniel Addis, quit in January. Before packing up, he reportedly bellowed at Hughes, “ I can’t protect you anymore.” Addis, who says he wants to spend more time with his family, chuckles and claims attorney-client privilege. Trouble on the home front, too. On a recent conference call with distributors, Hughes revealed he’s divorcing his wife. Suzan, whose beaming and perky image adorns much of Herbalife’s literature. Meanwhile, in a lawsuit that’s been quietly moving to Arizona’s Superior Court, former Herbalife distributor Daniel Fallow of Sandpoint, Idaho charges the Herbalife arbitrarily withholds payment to distributors and marks up its products over seven times the cost of manufacturing. Fallow also claims that Hughes wanted to use the Russian mafia to gain entrance to the nation’s market. Fallow himself is no angel, but his lawsuit, which was posted on the Internet, brought out other complaints. Randy Cox of Lewiston, Idaho says Herbalife “destroyed my business” after he and his wife complained to the company that they were being cheated out of their money by higher-ups in the pyramid organization. 2.Which of the following countries is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Russia, B. USA, C. France 3. Find the meaning of the word “arbitrary” used in the passage? A. Easily molded B Clever C Stubborn D Unfair
