READ THE FOLLOWING PASSAGE AND CHOOSE THE BEST ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS. (20 PTs) 1 ‘The development of jazz can be seen as part ofthe larger continuum of American popular music, especially dance music. In the twenties, jazz became the hottest new thing in dance music, much as ragtime had at the turn of the century, and as would rhytnm and blues in the fies, rockin the ities, and disco in the seventies, But two characteristics distinguish jazz from othe dance music. The firsts improvisaton, the changing of a 5 musical phrase according to the players inspiration. Like all artists, jazz musicians stve for an individual style, anc the improvise or paraphrase is a je2z musician's main opportunity to display his or her individual. In early jazz, musicians often Improvised melodies collectively, thus creating a kind of polyphony. There was litte soloing as such, although some New Orleans players, particularly comet play Buddy Bolden, achieved local fame for their ability to improvise a solo. Later the idea of the chorus-long or _multichorus solo took hold. Louis Armstrong's instrumental 10 briliance, demonstrated through extended solos, was 2 major influence in this development. Even in the early twenties, however, some jazz bands had festured soloists. Similarly, show orchestras and carnival bangs often Included one or two such "get-off' musicians. Unimproved, completely structured jazz does exist, but the abilty ofthe best jazz musicians to create music of great cohesion and beauty during performance has been a hallmark of the ‘music and its major source of inspiration and change. 18 The second distinguishing characteristic of jazz is a rhythmic drive that was initially called “hot” and later "swing". In playing hot, a musician consciously departs from strict meter to create a relaxed sense of phrasing that also emphasizes the underlying mhythms, Rough’ tone and use of moderate vibrato also contributed to a hot sound.) Not al jazz is hot, however, many early bands played unadorned published arrangements of popular songs. ‘Stl, the procivty to play hot distinguished the jazz musician from other instureniaists. 4D 1.

(20 pts) Jupiteris the largest and most massive planet and is fifth in order of distance from the sun. Itis well placed for observation for several months in every year and on average is the brightest of the planets apart from Venus, though for relatively brief periods Mars may outshine it. Jupiter's less than 10-hour rotation period gives it the shortest day in the solar system insofar as the principal planets are concerned. There are no true seasons on Jupiter because the axial inclination to the perpendicular of the orbital plane is only just over 30 - less than that for any other planet. ‘Themost famousmark on Jupiter is the Great Red Spot. Ithasshown variationsin both intensity and color, and at times it has been invisible, but it always returns after a few years. Atits greatest extent it may be 40,000 kilometers long and 14,000 kilometers wide, so its surface areais greater than that of Earth. Though the latitude of the Red Spot varieslittle, itdrifts about in longitude. OverOtto Channel the past century the total longitudinal drift has amounted to approximately 12,000. The latitude is generally very close to -220. It was once thought that the Red Spot might be a solid or semisolid body floating in Jupiter’s outer gas. However, the Pioneer and Voyager results have refuted that idea and proven the Red Spot to be a phenomenon of Jovian meteorology. Its longevity may well be due to its exceptional size, but there are signs that it is decreasing in size, and it may not be permanent. Several smaller red spots have been seen occasionally but have not lasted. 66, What is the main idea of passage? A, How long Jupiterlasts 8, The comparison between Jupiter and other planets ©.

(10 PTS) A usefull defi atmosphere in such quanti ion of an air pollutant is a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the Is adversely. Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous change. When the first air pollution laws were as to affect humans, animals, vegetations, or matei established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled - a far ery from the extensive list of harmful substances known today. As technology has developed and knowledge of the health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened. In the future, even water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions. Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides, are found in nature. As the Earth developed, the concentrations of these pollutants were altered by various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycle. These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil on a global basis, nature's output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities. However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city. In this localized regions, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycle. The result is an increased concentration of noxious chemicals the air. The concentrations at which the adverse effets appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities. The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be 4 pollutant; in fact the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an inerease this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area. For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level. Carbon monoxide, however, has a natural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm: 1. What does the passage mainly discuss?

(10 PTS) In the early days of the United States, postal charves were pald by the recipient and charges verted wth the distance carried, In 1825, the United States Congress permitted local postmasters to give letters to mail carriers for home delivery, but these caries receives no government salary and thei entire compensation depended on what they were pad by the recipients of individual eters. fin 1847 the Unted States Post Office Department adopted the idea of a postage stamp, which of course simplified the payment for postal service but caused grumblirg by those who did not lke to prepay. Besides, the stamp covered only delvery tothe post cffice and dé not include carying Ie to a private address. In Philadelphia, for example, with a population of 150,000 people still had to go to the post office to get thelr mal. The confusion and ‘congestion of individual ctzens looking for ther leters was itself enough to discourage use of the mall. I is no wonder that, during the years of these cumbersome arrangements, private leter-carryng and express businesses ‘developed. Although their actvties were only semi-legal, they thrived, and actualy advertised that between Boston ‘and Philadelphia they were a half-day speedier than the government mall. The goverment postal service lost ‘elume to private competition and was notable to handle efficently even the business It had. Finally, In 1863, Congress provided thatthe mail casers who delvered the mai from the post offices to private ‘addresses should receive a government salary, and that there should be no extra charge for that delivery. But this elvery service was at fst confined to cities, and free nome delivery became a mark of urbanism. AS late a5 1887, ' town had to have 10,000 people to be eligible for free home delvery. In 1890, of the 75 milion people In the United States, fewer than 20 milion had mall delivered free to thelr doors. The rest, nearly three-quarters of the population stil received no mall uniess they went to thelr post office. 11. lahat does the passage mainly cscuss?

(IPTS) Television’s contribution to family life in the United States has been an equivocal one. For while it has, indeed, kept the members of the family from dispersing, it has not served to bring them together. By dominating the time families spend together, it destroys the special quality that distinguishes one family from another, a quality that depends to a great extent on what a family does, what special rituals, games, recurrent Jokes, familiar songs, and shared activities it accumulates. “Like the sorcerer of old,” writes Urie Bronfenbrenner, “the television set casts its magic spell, freezing speech and action, turning the living into silent statues so long as the enchantment lasts, The primary danger of the television screen lies not so much in the behavior it produces — although there is danger there — as in the behavior it prevents : the talks, games, the family festivities, and arguments through which much of the child’s learning takes place and through which character is formed. Turning on the television set can tum off the process that transforms children into people.” Of course, families today still do special things together at times: go camping in the summer, go to the 200 on a nice Sunday, take various trips and expeditions. But the ordinary daily life together is diminished — that sitting around at the dinner table, that spontaneous taking up of an activity, those little games invented by ‘children on the spur of the moment when there is nothing else to do, the scribibling, the chatting, the quarreling, all the things that form the fabric of a family. that define a childhood, Instead, the children have their regular schedule of television programs and bedtime, and the parents have their peaceful dinner together. But surely the needs of adults are being better met than the needs of children, who are effectively shunted away and rendered untroublesome. If the family does not accumulate its backlog of shared experiences, shared everyday experiences that occur and recur and change and develop, then it is not likely to survive as anything other than a caretaking instituti 1.
