school days proceed as if television did not exist.

Firstly, the schools that purchased television sets have not set aside money for equipment repairs
and maintenance, so these television sets are sooner and later out of work. Secondly, these schools

instructional programs. Lastly, most teachers do not regard the quality of television and its

Part 2. Questions 76 – 85 (2.0 points - 0.2/ each)
Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question
A survey is a study, generally in the form of an interview or a questionnaire, that provides
information concerning how people think and act. In the United States, the best-known surveys are
the Gallup poll and the Harris poll. As anyone who watches the news during presidential campaigns
knows, these polls have become an important part of political life in the United States.
North Americans are familiar with the many "person on the street" interviews on local
television news shows. While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not necessarily an
accurate indication of public opinion. First, they reflect the opinions of only those people who
appear at a certain location. Thus, such samples can be biased in favor of commuters, middle-class
shoppers, or factory workers, depending or which area the newspeople select. Second, television
interviews tend to attract outgoing people who are willing to appear on the air, while they frighten
away others who may feel intimidated by a camera. A survey must be based on a precise,
representative sampling if it is to genuinely reflect a broad range of the population.
In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercise great care in the wording of
questions. An effective survey question must be simple and clear enough for people to understand it.
It must also be specific enough so that there are no problems in interpreting the results. Even
10
questions that are less structured must be carefully phrased in order to elicit the type of information
desired. Surveys can be indispensable sources of information, but only if the sampling is done
properly and the questions are worded accurately.
There are two main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionnaire. Each of these
forms of survey research has its advantages. An interviewer can obtain a high response rate because
people find it more difficult to turn down a personal request for an interview than to throw away a
written questionnaire. In addition, an interviewer can go beyond written questions and probe for a
subject's underlying feelings and reasons. However, questionnaires have the advantage of being
cheaper and more consistent.

A. The history of surveys in North America

B. are used only on television
C. are not carefully worded
D. reflect political opinions
79. The word "precise" in line 13 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. planned B. rational C. required D. accurate
80. According to paragraph 3, which of the following is most important for an effective survey?
A. A high number of respondents
B. Carefully worded questions
C. An interviewer's ability to measure respondents' feelings
D. A sociologist who is able to interpret the results
81. The word "exercise" in line 15 is closest in meaning to _______.

82. The word "indispensable" is closest in meaning to______.
