SECTION III – READING

I.Read the following passage carefully. Decide whether the statements are True or False, and then answer the questions below.

The first publicly supported secondary school in the United States was Bostob Latin School, founded in 1635. But until the late 19th century secondary education was most conducted by private tutors or privately supported academies.

The rise in American high school attendance was one of the most striking developments in U.S education during the 20th century. From 1900 to 2000 the percentage of teenagers who graduated from high school increased from about 6 percent to about 88 percent. High school attendance grew because more and more students regarded additional schooling as the key to succeeding in an increasingly urban and industrialized society. In addition, after the introduction of strict child labor laws in the early 20th century,fewer teenagers entered the workforce than they had previously, which gave them the time to attend school. School provided teenagers with an acceptable alternative to labor that gave meaning to their lives before they entered the workforce, established a family, or began college. As the 20th century progressed, most states enacted legislation extending compulsory education laws to the age of 16. Most students found it more enjoyable- and more profitable in the long run- to stay in school beyond the legal limits than to leave, or drop out, before graduating.

The 20th century high school was a uniquely American invention. More than elementary schools or colleges, high schools demonstrated the American faith that concerns. High schools provided supervision and a place for youth to experience adolescence with friends. They also sought to give students education to meet the practical demands of everyday life, to get a job, or to go on to more education.

A. Decide whether the statements are True (T) or False (F).(5p)

1. The secondary school system in the United States had not developed well until the late 19th century.

2. More and more students regarded secondary schooling as the key to their success in life.

3. Secondary education is the good choice before they enter the workforce, establish a family, or begin college.

4. High school is not a good place to make friends.

5. Most states passed laws extending compulsory education beyond the age of 16.

II. Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question.(5)

Trees have developed special talents for surviving in the desert. Like the cactus, they, too, have water reservoirs in their trunks or in their stems below the ground. The most stoical desert trees have sparse, leathery, or spiky foliage or may even dispense with leaves completely, as the cactus does. Many are protected by thorns. In the most inhospitable areas of the American Southwest, the spiny mesquite or screw bean survives- even in Death Valley. In the waterless places of Arabia the nib struggles against adversity where the dates can not grow “ with their feet in water and their heads in the fires of heaven”, and produces a fruit, the dom, so profusely that passers- by are allowed to shake the small berries from the branches.
