4. V/ READING COMPREHENSION (20 PTS) Reading the following passages and choose the best answer Passage 1 Although both Luther Burbank and George Washington Carver drastically changed American agriculture and were close friends besides, their methods of working could hardly have been more dissimilar. Burbank’s formal education ended with high school, but he was inspired by the works of Charles Darwin. In 1872, on his farm near Lunenberg, Massachusetts, he produced his first “plant creation” – a superior potato developed from the Early Rose variety. It still bears his name. After moving to Santa Rosa, California, in 1875, Burbank created a stream of creations, earning the nickname “the plant wizard.” He developed new varieties of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and other plants, many of which are still economically important. He began his work some thirty years before the rediscovery of Gregor Mendel’s work on heredity, and while he did not participate in the developing science of plant genetics, his work opened the country’s eyes to the productive possibilities of plant breeding. However, the value of his contributions was diminished by his methods. He relied on his keen memory and powers of observation and kept records only for his own use. He thus thwarted attempts by other scientists to study his achievements. Carver, on the other hand, was a careful researcher who took thorough notes. Born a slave, he attended high school in Kansas, Simpson College in Iowa, and Iowa State College, which awarded him a master’s degree. When the eminent black educator Booker T. Washington offered him a position at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, he accepted. While Burbank concentrated on developing new plants, Carver found new uses for existing ones. He produced hundreds of synthetic products made from the soybean, the sweet potato, and especially the peanut, helping to free Southern agriculture from the tyranny of cotton. 41. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage? A. To compare the products created by two agricultural scientists B. To demonstrate how Carver and Burbank influenced American agriculture C.

6. Passage 2. Have you ever thought about the names of the months? Why are “January” and “February” not called “Primo” or “Secondo”? Is it because the original names were created in ancient times? Or is it because the originators preferred odd words? Take February, for example. Say it aloud a few minutes and you start to wonder. Most people don’t know who developed these names. However, a little research reveals that the names of the months came mostly from a combination of the names of Roman gods and goddesses, important festivals, and the original numbers of the months. Julius Caesar and Pope Gregory XIII change the calendar to make it more exact. Caesar developed a new calendar of 364 and a quarter days, the time it takes the earth to orbit the sun from one spring season to the next. The Pope’s astronomers refined the calendar regarding leap years; they determined that there should be no leap year in years ending in 00- unless they were divisible by 400; the years 1700, 1800, 1900 and 2100 would not be considered leap years, while the years 1600 and 2000 would be. This new Gregorian calendar was so accurate that today, scientists need only add leap seconds every few years to the clock in order to keep the calendar matching the Earth’s cycles. 51. What is the topic of the passage? A. how the modern calendar was named and developed B. how the months were named C. how the leap year system was developed D. how accurate the modern day is calendar 52.

It needs major improvements. B. It was so well designed, it needs little adjusting today. C. It copied the Roman calendar’s formula of leap years. D. none of the answers 57. Why is Caesar important in calendar making? A. He changed the length of the year B. He extended summer. C. He has a month named for him D. He altered the number of days in the year. 58. In what order is the information in the passage presented? A. Caesar’s calendar, the Gregorian calendar, the modern calendar B. Roman Gods, important festivals, original numbers of months C. names of months, Caesar’s calendar, the Gregorian Calendar D. none of the answers 59. The word “refined” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ___. A. studied B. invented C. observed D. improved 60. Why is the number of 364 and a quarter important? A.
