PART
Questions 11-16 are
about the following passage.
Playing
organized sports is such a common experience in
the United States that many children
and
teenagers
take
them
for
granted.
This
is
especially
true
among
children
from
families
and
communities that have the resources
needed to organize and sponsor sports programs and
make sure
that
there
is
easy
access
to
participation
opportunities.
Children
in
low-income
families
and
poor
communities
are
less
likely
to
take
organized
youth
sports
for
granted
because
they
often
lack
the
resources needed to pay
for participation fees, equipment, and
transportation to practices and games
and their communities do not have
resources to build and maintain sports fields and
facilities.
Organized youth sports
first appeared during the early
20
th
century in the United
States and other
wealthy
nations.
They
were
originally
developed
when
some
educators
and
developmental
experts
realized
that
the
behavior
and
character
of
children
were
strongly
influenced
by
their
social
surroundings and everyday experiences.
This led many people to believe that if you could
organize the
experiences of children in
particular ways, you could influence the kinds of
adults that those children
would
become.
This belief that the social
environment influenced a
person
’
s development was
very encouraging
to people interested
in progress and reform in the United States at the
beginning of the 20
th
century. It
caused
them
to
think
about
how
they
might
control
the
experiences
of
children
to
manufacture
responsible and
productive adults. They believed strongly that
democracy depended on responsibility
and that a growing capitalist economy
depended on the productivity of workers.
11.
What fact
does the author say about children from poor
communities?
A.
They often take organized sports for
granted.
B.
They
don
’
t like organized sports
that much.
C.
Their communities
don
’
t want to sponsor them.
D.
They
don
’
t have enough money for
the resources.
12.
According to the passage, what can
strongly influence the behavior and character of
children?
A.
The
income of their families.
B.
Sports fields and facilities in their
communities.
C.
Social surroundings and everyday
experiences.
D.
Whether they join organized sports or
not.
13.
Why did
the educators and experts originally develop
organized youth sports?
A.
They found that sports were popular in
the United States.
B.
They realized that
children
’
s physical health
was really important.
C.
They wanted to organize
children
’
s experiences by
organized sports.
D.
They thought organized sports could
influence the capitalist economy.

Questions 17-21 are about the following
passage.
Throughout the history of
life, there have been many major upheavals in
which whole groups of
animals were
replaced by others. Perhaps the most famous
example was dinosaurs. The dinosaurs were
replaced
by
the
mammals
65
million
years
ago.
Another
major
change
occurred
150
million
years
earlier, when the dinosaurs took over
the position of dominance that had been held for
80 million years
by mammal-like
reptiles.
What triggered these great
changes? Scientific theories suggest that the
factors that might have
been
responsible
for
such
replacement
are
various.
But
these
factors
have
gone
through
some
significant change of
its own. At times, for example, scientists have
suggested that mammals caused
the
extinction of the dinosaurs by eating their eggs
or by competing for the same food resources. Now,
however,
most
people
are
convinced
that
the
mammals
played
only
a
minor
role,
if
any
(largely
because both groups had lived side by
side for millions of years). Instead,
environmental change was
the primary
responsible reason for the extinction of the
dinosaurs. The mammals apparently sat around
for
150
million
years
hiding
under
trees
and
other
plants
in
woodland.
With
the
extinction
of
the
dinosaurs, they finally
had their opportunity to step out and live in the
available niches.
17.
What is the main idea of the passage?
A.
Mammals caused
the extinction of dinosaurs by eating their eggs.
B.
Some species
of animals have been replaced by others due to
environmental changes.
C.
Scientific theories about the reasons
for the extinction of certain reptiles have
changed over
the years.
D.
Mammals and
dinosaurs competed for the same food resources.
18.
In line 1,
the word
upheavals
is
closest in meaning to _______.
A.
heavens
B.
uplifts
