Today, Canada is in the grip of a sudden industrial
revolution. While the first, something from the
1860s to the 1960s, shattered the main section of
the Canadian economy from agriculture to industry,
the new revolution is changing the economy away from
traditional smokestack manufacturing industries to
those based upon information, services and new
technologies. It took the country years to get used
to the cultural and social changes resulting from
the first industrial revolution, and it would be
rashly optimistic to assume that Canadians will not
face serious stresses in coming to terms with the
changes that are transforming the workplace today.
Q. It can be understood from the passage that the
Canadian economy _____ .
a. was, at the beginning, largely an agricultural
one
b. was, from the start, based on heavy industry
c. has, over the years, undergone very little
radical changes
d. has recently entered a period of recession
e. has invariably kept a balance between agriculture
and industry
<A
Q. The passage points out that the change in Canada
from an agricultural to an industrial economy _____
.
a. was bitterly opposed by a large segment of
society
b. was achieved in a very short period of time,
actually only about two decades
c. made the use of information technologies
indispensable
d. brought with it many new cultural and social
conditions which took years to resolve
e. brought little benefit to the country as a whole
<D
Q. The author has the opinion that the
Canadians_____ .
a. will find the second industrial revolution hard
to cope with
b. are closing down heavy industry far too soon
c. don't pay adequate attention to conditions in the
workplace
d. may turn back to an agricultural economy
e. have already lost their control over
manufacturing industries

So many books was written on computers, computer
programming, and computer programming languages,
particularly C++. To write another book on C++, even
the newest C++ IV, probably seems difficult to most,
and it is with mild anxiety that, I, the author,
take place in this project. But, some good reasons
can be stated for doing just that. Most computer
professionals will agree that the field of computer
and information science has quickly become a valid
discipline for academia, and that changes are
occurring in computer programming languages. Both of
these facts demand that a new direction be taken in
presenting the subject.
Q. One can understand from the passage that the
writer is somewhat apprehensive in case _____ .
a. computer sales should drop sharply
b. developments in computer programming will become
more and more costly
c. his book will be felt, by many people, to be
superfluous
d. computer programming should be taken over by
professionals
e. programming languages should become far more
complicated
<C
Q. We can understand from the passage that
publications on computer technology _____ .
a. are only concerned with C++ computer programming
b. have already reached a very high number
c. are brought out by academia for academia
d. invariably cause a great deal of public reaction
e. are largely repetitive and very costly
<B
Q. We understand that the author feels that his new
book on C++ is justified because _____ .
a. computer science is a new science with little
relevant literature
b. computer professionals have not as yet recognized
the changes taking place in computer science
c. it will boost the sale of computers throughout
the world
d. it introduces a new approach to computer
programming languages
e. it will change the concept of computer science
among academia

''Human rights'' is a fairly new name for what were
previously called ''the rights of man''. It was
Margaret Fuller in the 1950s who promoted the use of
the expression ''human rights'' when she discovered,
through her work in the United Nations, that the
rights of men were not considered in some parts of
the world to include the rights of women. The
''rights of man'' at an earlier date had itself
replaced the original term ''natural rights'' in
part, perhaps, for the concept of natural law, with
which the concept of natural rights was logically
connected, had become a subject of controversy.
Q. The reader is explained the stages by which _____
.
a. the United Nations carries out its procedures
b. Margaret Fuller developed the idea of human
rights
c. the term ''human rights'' came into use
d. the various ''rights of man'' came to be
recognized
e. human rights are today being violated throughout
the world
<D
Q. By referring to Margaret Fuller, the passage
explains that before the 1950s, the term ''he right
of man'' _____ .
a. had always been used in conjunction with ''the
rights of women''
b. had come under severe criticism
c. had long been a subject of controversy among
politicians
d. had already become irrelevant in world politics
e. had often been misunderstood by some nations
<E
Q. It is clear in the passage that the disagreement
over the concept of natural law _____ .
a. was actually of no significance in many parts of
the world
b. meant that the term ''natural rights'' was no
longer acceptable
c. forced Margaret Fuller to introduce the term
''human rights''
d. undermined the work of the United Nations
e. was closely connected with the growing
recognition of the rights of women

The shopping center emerged in the early 1920s in
the suburbs that surrounded American cities. Suburbs
of that time were residential and depended on the
traditional city centers for shopping. The first
suburban commercial centers had three certain
features: they consisted of a number of stores built
and managed by a single developer; they were usually
located at an important intersection, and they
provided plenty of free, off street parking. These
shopping centers were like small-town shopping
districts, both in their architecture, which was
carefully traditional, and in their position, which
integrated them into the surrounding neighborhood.
The stores faced the street and the parking places
were usually in the rear.
Q. One can understand from the passage that before
the introduction of shopping centers those living in
the residential suburban areas _____ .
a. were anxious to keep commercial activities there
to a minimum
b. usually preferred to go to nearby small towns in
order to do their shopping
c. found parking a great problem when they went
downtown to shop
d. had to go into the center of the city to do their
shopping
e. felt that shopping facilities could not be
integrated into such neighborhoods
<D
Q. It is clear in the passage that a popular
location for the early shopping centers in the
United States was _____ .
a. the very heart of a big city with roads directly
serving all the suburbs
b. one near an important road junction with space
enough to provide adequate perking facilities
c. the villages bordering on the suburbs of a town
since they too would benefit from the facilities
d. a suitable point midway between two or three
suburban areas
e. one that was in the hands of a single developer
and architect
<B
Q. We learn from the passage that the new shopping
villages were like small-town shopping areas _____ .
a. since many architects felt these could hardly be
integrated effectively into suburban conditions
b. although the stories faced onto the parking lots,
not the streets
c. as regards both the architectural style and the
arrangement of the building
d. even though the architecture was very different
e. as most developers wanted to bring something new
into the commercial activities of the region
<C
