PART III READING PREHENSIONS
In this section there are four reading passages followed by fifteen multiple-choice questions. Read the passages and then mark your answers on your Answer Sheet.
TEXT A The House of Lords has a charm few people seem able to resist. The more cut-off it bees from everyday life, the greater its attraction for weary businessmen and politicians. On the road outside the word "Peers" is painted across the car-park in large white letters. Inside a tall ex-Guardsman directs you through the vaulted entrance hall, past a long row of elaborate gothic coat-hooks, each one labeled, beginning with the royal dukes —— one of the many features of the building reminiscent of a school. Upstairs you e to a series of high, dark rooms, with gothic woodwork and carved ceilings. A life-size white marble statue of the young Queen Victoria watches elderly peers sitting at tables writing letters on gothic writing paper. Doors lead off to long dining-rooms, one for guests, another for peers only and to a large bar looking over the river, which serves drinks all day and sells special "House of Lords" cigarettes. Other closed doors are simply marked "Peers" —— an embarrassing ambiguity for lady peers, for "peers" can mean the Lords equivalent of "gentle-men". There is an atmosphere of contented old age. The rooms are full of half-remembered faces of famous men or politicians one had —— how shall one put it —— fotten were still around. There is banter between left-wing peers and right-wing peers and a great deal of talk about operations and ailments and nursing homes. Leading off the man ante-room is the chamber itself —— the fine flower of the Victorian romantic style. It is small, only eighty feet long. Stained glass windows shed a dark red light, and rows of statues look down from the walls. On either side are long red-leather sofas with dark wooden choir stalls at the back. Between the two sides is "the Woolsack", the traditional seat of the Lord Chancellor, stuffed with bits of wool from all over the monwealth. At the far end is an immense gold canopy, with twenty-foot high candlesticks in the middle, the throne from which the monarch opens Parliament. Leaning back, on the sofa, whispering, putting their feet up, listening, fumbling with papers, making notes or simply sleeping, are the peers. On a full day, which is rear, you can see them in their groups: bishops, judges, industrial peers. But usually there is only a handful of peers sitting in the room, though since peers he been paid three guineas for attending, there are often an erage of 110 peers in an afternoon. In the imposing surroundings it is sometimes difficult to remember how unimportant the Lords are. The most that the Lords can do now is delay a bill a year, and any "money bill" they can delay for only a month. Their main impact es from the few inches of space in next mornings papers. The Prime Minister can create as many peers as he likes and, though to carry out the threat would be embarrassing, the nightmare is real enough to bring the peers to heel.
36. The author feels that House of Lords is ____
A) delightful, but out of touch with the modern world.
B) remote from daily life and rather tired.
C) a place that businessmen and politicians like resting in.
D) an excellent resting place for politicians and businessmen.
37. Many members of the House of Lord are ____
A) well-known politicians and famous TV personalities.
B) distinguished and celebrated politicians.
C) notorious and remarkable men.
D) men who he dropped out of the world in which they became well-know.
38. The only real influence the peers he now is ____
A) to delay money bills for one year if they don't agree with them.
B) if their speeches affect pubic opinion through the newspapers.
C) that they can make the Prime Minister nervous if they threaten not to agree to his bills.
D) they can refuse to accept any government act for one year.
TEXT B With its mon interest in lawbreaking but its immense range of subject-matter and widely-varying method of treatment, the crime novel could make a legitimate claim to be regarded as a separate branch of the traditional novel. The detective story is probably the most respectful (at any in the narrow sense of word) of the crime species. Its creation is often the relaxation of University dons, literary economists, scientists or even poets. Fatalities may occur more frequently and mysteriously than might be expected in polite society,
is familiar to us, if not from our own experience, at least in the newspaper or the lives of friends. The characters, though normally realized superficially, are as recognizable human and consistent as our less intimate associates. As story set in a more remote environment, African jungle or Australian bush, ancient China or gas-lit London, appeals to our interest in geography or history, and most detective story writers are conscientious in providing a reasonably authentic background. The elaborate, carefully-assemble plot, despised by the modern intellectual critics and creators of significant novels, has found refuge in the murder mystery, with its sprinkling of clues, its spicing with apparent impossibilities, all with appropriate solutions and explanations at the end. With the guilt of escapism from Real Life nagging gently, we secretly revel in the unmasking of evil by a vaguely super-human sleuth, who sees through and dispels the cloud of suspicion which has hovered so unjustly over the innocent. Though its villain also receives his rightful deserts, the thriller presents a less fortable and credible world. The sequence of fist fights, revolver duels, car crashes and escaped from gas-filled cellars exhausts the reader far more than than the hero, who, suffering from at least two broken ribs, one black eye, uncountable bruises and a hangover, can still chase and overpower an armed villain with the physique of a wrestler. He moves dangerously through a world of ruthless gangs, brutality, a vicious lust for power and money and, in contrast to the detective tale, with a near-omniscient arch-criminal whose defeat seems almost accidental. Perhaps we miss in the thriller the security of being safely led by our imperturbable investigator past a score of red herrings and blind enues to a final gathering of suspects when an unchallengeable elucidation of all that has bewildered us is given justice and goodness prevail. All that we vainly hope for from life is granted vicariously.
39. The crime novel may be regarded as ____
A) a not quite respectable form of the conventional novel.
B) not a true novel at all.

B) both are condemned by modern critics.
C) both are forms of escapist fiction.
D) both demonstrate the triumph of right over wrong.
42. In what way are the detective story and the thriller unlike?
A) in introducing violence
B) in providing excitement and suspense
C) in appealing to the intellectual curiosity of the readers
D) in ensuring that everything es tight in the end.
TEXT C In most of the human civilization of which we he any proper records, youth has drawn on either art or life for models, planning to emulate the heroes depicted in epics on the shadow —— play screen or the stage, or those known human beings, fathers or grandfathers, chiefs or craftsmen, whose every characteristic can be studied and imitated. As recently as 1910, this was the prevailing condition in the United States. If he came from a non-literate background, the recent immigrant learned to speak, move, and think like an American by using his eyes and ears on the labor line and in the homes of more acculturated cousins, by watching school children, or by absorbing the standards of the teacher, the foreman, the clerk who served him in the store. For the literate and the literate children of the non-literate, there was art —— the story of the frustrated artist in the prairie town of the second generation battling with the limitations of the first. And at a simpler level, there were the Western and Hollywood fairy tales which pointed a moral but did not, as a rule, reach table manners. With the development of the countermovement against Hollywood, with the efflorescence of photography, with Time-Life-Fortune types of reporting and the dead-pan New York manner of describing the life of an old-clothes dealer in a fotten street or of presenting the "accurate", "checked" details of the lives of people whose eminence ge at least a sort of license to attack them, with the passion for "human documents" in Depression days —— a necessary substitute for proletarian art among middle-class writers who knew nothing about proletarians, and middle-class readers who needed the shock of verisimilitude —— a new era in American life was ushered in. It was the era in which young people imitated neither life nor art nor fairy tale, but instead were presented with models drawn from life with minimal but crucial distortions. Doctored life histories, posed carelessness, "candid" shots of people in their own homes which took hours to arrange, pictures shot from real life to written months before supplemented by national polls and surveys which assured the reader that this hobby socks did indeed represent a national norm or a growing trend —— replaced the older models.
43. This article is based on the idea that ____
A) people today do not look for models to imitate.
B) whom we emulate is not important.
C) people generally pattern their lives after models.
D) heroes are passed.
44. Stories of the second generation battling against the limitation of the first were often responsible for ____
A) inspiring literate immigrants.
B) frustrating educated immigrants.
C) preventing the assimilation of immigrants.
D) instilling into immigrants an antagonistic attitude toward their forebears.
45. The counter movement against Hollywood was a movement ____
A) toward fantasy.
B) against the teachings of morals.
C) towards realism.
D) away from realism.
46. The author attribute the change in attitude since 1920 to ____
A) a logical evolution of ideas.
B) widespread of moral decay.
C) the influence of the press.
D) a philosophy of plenty.
TEXT D During the holiday I received no letter from Myrtle and when I returned to the town she had gone away. I telephoned each day until she came back, and then she said she was going to a party. I put up with her new tactics patiently. The next time we spent an evening together there was no quarrel. To oid it I took Myrtle to the cinema. We did not mention Haxby. On the other hand it was impossible to pretend that either of us was happy. Myrtles expression of unhappiness was deepening. Day by day I watched her sink into a bout of despair, and I concluded it was my fault —— had I not concluded it was my fault, the looks Myrtle ge me would rapidly he concluded it for me. The topic of conversation we oided above all others was the project of going to America. I cursed the tactlessness of Robert and Tom in talking about it in front of her before I had had time to prepare her for it. I felt aggrieved, as one does after doing wrong and being found out. I did not know what to do. When you go to the theatre you see a number of characters caught in a dramatic situation. What happens next? They then everything is changed. My life is different I never he scenes, and I if I do, they are discouragingly not dramatic. Practically no action arises. And nothing what so ever is changed. My life is not as good as a play. Nothing like it. All I did with my present situation was try and tide it over. When Myrtle emerged from the deepest blackness of despair —— nobody after all, could remain there definitely —— I tried to fort her. I gradually unfolded all my plan, including those for her. She could e to America, too. She was a mercial artist. She could get a job and our relationship could continue as it was. And I will not swear that I did not think:" And in America she might even succeed in marrying me." It produced no effect. She began to drink more. She began to go to parties very frequently; it was very soon clear that she had decided to see less of her. I do not blame Myrtle. Had I been in her place I would he tried to do the same thing. Being in my place I tried to prevent her. I knew what sort of parties she was going to: they were parties at which Haxby was present. We began to wrangle over going out with each other. She was never free at the times I suggested. Sometimes, usually on a Saturday night, she first arranged to meet me and then changed her mind. I called that rubbing it in a little too far. But her behior, I repeat, perfectly sensible. By seeing less of me she stood a chance of finding somebody else, or of making me jealous, or of both. Either way she could not lose.
47. When Myrtle was oiding the author he ____
A) saw through her plan and behe calmly.
B) became angry and could not put her out of his mind.
C) was worried and unprehending.
D) decided that he could not bear the way she treated him.
48. The author felt guilty and angry because ____
A) his friends had discovered that he had not told Myrtle anything.
B) Tom and Robert had told Myrtle about their plans.
C) Myrtle had found out their plans when Tom and Robert talked.
D) he had told Myrtle their plans before Tom and Robert mentioned them.
49. The author plains that his life was not like a play in which ____
A) the characters solve
