Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
Years after the movement to obtain civil rights for black people in the United States made its most important gains, scholars are reaching for a theoretical perspective capable of clarifying its momentous developments. New theories of social movements are being discussed, not just among social psychologists, but also among political theorists.
Of the many competing formulations of the “classical” social psychological theory of social movement, three are prominent in the literature on the civil rights movement: “rising expectations”, “relative deprivation,” and “J-curve”. Each conforms to a causal sequence characteristic of classical social movement theory, linking some unusual condition, or “system strain,” to the generation of unrest. When these versions of the classical theory are applied to the civil rights movement, the source of strain is identified as a change in black socioeconomic status that occurred shortly before the widespread protest activity of the movement.
For example, the theory of rising expectations asserts that protest activity was a response to psychological tensions generated by gains experienced immediately prior to the civil rights movement. Advancement did not satisfy ambition, but created the desire for further advancement. Only slightly different is the theory of relative deprivation. Here the impetus to protest is identified as gains achieved during the pre-movement period, coupled with simultaneous failure to make any appreciable headway relative to the dominant group. The j-curve theory argues that the movement occurred because a prolonged period of rising expectations and gratification was followed by a sharp reversal.
Political theorists have been dismissive of these applications of classical theory to the civil rights movement. Their arguments rest on the conviction that, implicitly, the classical theory trivializes the political ends of movement participants, focusing rather on presumed psychological dysfunctions, reduction of complex social situations to simple paradigms of stimulus and response obviates the relevance of all but the shortest term analysis. Furthermore, the theories lack predictive value. “strain” is always present to some degree, but social movement is not. How can we know which strain will provoke upheaval?
These very legitimate complaints having frequently been made, it remains to find a means of testing the strength of the theories. Problematically, while proponents of the various theories have contradictory interpretations of socioeconomic conditions leading to the civil rights movement, examination of various statistical records regarding the material status of black Americans yields ample evidence to support any of the three theories. The steady rise in median black family income supports the rising expectations hypothesis, the stability of the economic position of black vis-a vis while Americans lends credence to the relative deprivation interpretation; unemployment data are consistent with the J-curve theory. A better test is the comparison of each of these economic indicators with the frequency of movement-initiated events reported in the press, unsurprisingly, none correlates significantly with the pace of reports about movement activity.
31.It can be inferred from the passage that the classical theory of social movement would not be appropriately applied to an annual general election because such an election .
[A] may focus on personalities rather than on political issues
[B] is not provoked primarily by an unusual condition
[C] may be decided according to the psychological needs of voters
[D] may not entail momentous developments
32.The main purpose of the passage is to .
[A] persuade historians of the indispensability of a theoretical framework for understanding recent history
[B] discuss the reasoning behind and shortcoming of certain social psychological theories
[C] show the unity underlying the diverse classical models of social movment
[D] present a mew model of social movement
33. Which one of the following statements is supported by the results of the “better test” discussed in the last paragraph of the passage?
[A] The test provides no basis for deciding among the three classical theories discussed in the passage.
[B] The test shows that it is impossible to apply any theory of social movements to the civil rights movement.
[C] The test indicates that press coverage of the civil rights movement was biased.
[D] The test verifies that the civil rights movement generated socioeconomic progress.
34.The author implies that political theorists attribute which one of the following assumptions to social psychologists who apply the classical theory of social movements to the civil rights movement?
[A] The political ends of movement participants are best analyzed in terms of participants’ psychological motivations.
[B] Participants in any given social movement have conflicting motivations.
[C] Psychological motivations of movement participants better illuminate the causes of social movements than do participants’ political motivations.
[D] Only strain of a socioeconomic nature can provoke a social movement.
35.According to the passage, the “rising expectations” and “relative deprivation” models differ in which one of the following ways?
[A] They predict different responses to the same socioeconomic conditions.
[B] They disagree about the relevance of psychological explanations for protest movements.
[C] They disagree about the relevance of socioeconomic status to system strain.
[D] They describe the motivation of protesters in slightly different ways.

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
In recent years, a growing belief that the way society decides what to treat as true is controlled through largely unrecognized discursive practices has led legal reformers to examine the complex interconnections between narrative and law. In many legal systems, legal judgments are based on competing stories about events. Without having witnessed these events, judges and juries must validate some stories as true and reject others as false. This procedure is rooted in objectivism, a philosophical approach that has supported most Western legal and intellectual systems for centuries. Objectivism, holds that there is a single neutral description of each event that is unskewed by any particular point of view and that has a privileged position over all other accounts. The law’s quest for truth, therefore, consists of locating this objective description, the one that tells what really happened, as opposed to what those involved thought happened. The serious flaw in objectivism is that there is no such thing as the neutral, objective observer. As psychologists have demonstrated, all observers bring to a situation a set of expectations, values, and beliefs that determine what the observers are able to see and hear. Two individuals listening to the same story will hear different things, because they emphasize those aspects that accord with their learned experiences and ignore those aspects that are dissonant with their view of the world. Hence there is never any escape in life or in law from selective perception, or from subjective judgments based on prior experiences, values, and beliefs.
The societal harm caused by the assumption of objectivist principles in traditional legal discourse is that, historically the stories judged to be objectively true are those told by people who are trained in legal discourse, while the stories of those who are not fluent in the language of the law are rejected as false.
Legal scholars such as Patricia Williams, Derrick Bell, and Mari Matsuda have sought empowerment for the latter group of people through the construction of alternative legal narratives. Objectivist legal discourse systematically disallows the language of emotion and experience by focusing on cognition in its narrowest sense. These legal reformers propose replacing such abstract discourse with powerful personal stories. They argue that the absorbing, nonthreatening structure and tone of personal stories may convince legal insiders for the first time to listen to those not fluent in legal language. The compelling force of personal narrative can create a sense of empathy between legal insiders and people traditionally excluded from legal discourse and, hence, from power. Such alternative narratives can shatter the complacency of the legal establishment and disturb its tranquility. Thus, the engaging power of narrative might play a crucial, positive role in the process of legal reconstruction by overcoming differences in background and training and forming a new collectivity based on emotional empathy.
36.Which one of the following best states the main idea of the passage?
[A] Some legal scholars have sought to empower people historically excluded from traditional legal discourse by instructing them in the forms of discourse favored by legal insiders.
[B] Some legal scholars have begun to realize the social harm caused by the adversarial atmosphere that has pervaded many legal systems for centuries.
[C] Some legal scholars have proposed alleviating the harm caused by the prominence of objectivist principles within legal discourse by replacing that discourse with alternative forms of legal narrative.
[D] Some legal scholars have contended that those who feel excluded from objectivist legal systems would be empowered by the construction of a new legal language that better reflected objectivist principles.
37.It can be inferred from the passage that Williams, Bell, and Matsuda believe which one of the following to be a central component of legal reform?
[A] incorporating into the law the latest developments in the fields of psychology and philosophy
[B] eradicating from legal judgments discourse with a particular point of view
[C] granting all participants in legal proceedings equal access to training in the forms and manipulation of legal discourse
[D] making the law more responsive to the discursive practices of a wider variety of people
38.Which one of the following most accurately describes the author’s attitude toward proposals to introduce personal stories into legal discourse?
[A] strongly opposed
[B] somewhat skeptical
[C] ambivalent
[D] strongly supportive
39.The passage suggests that Williams, Bell, and Matsuda would most likely agree with which one of the following statements regarding personal stories?
[A] Personal stories are more likely to adhere to the principles of objectivism than are other forms of discourse.
[B] Personal stories are more likely to de-emphasize differences in background and training than are traditional forms of legal discourse.
[C] Personal stories are more likely to restore tranquility to the legal establishment than are more adversarial forms of discourse.
[D] Personal stories are more likely to lead to the accurate reconstruction of facts than are traditional forms of legal narrative.
40.Which one of the following statement about legal discourse in legal systems based on objectivism can be inferred from the passage?
[A] In most Western societies, the legal establishment controls access to training in legal discourse.
[B] Expertise in legal discourse affords power in most Western societies.
[C] Legal discourse has become progressively more abstract for some centuries.
[D] Legal discourse has traditionally denied the existence of neutral, objective observers.

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:
With its common interest in lawbreaking but its immense range of subject matter and widely-varying methods of treatment, the crime novel could make a legitimate claim to be regarded as a separate branch of literature, or, at least, as a distinct, even though a slightly disreputable, offshoot of the traditional novel.
The detective story is probably the most respectable of the crime species. Its creation is often the relaxation of university dons, literary economists, scientists or even poets. Fatalities may occur more frequently and mysteriously than might be expected in polite society, but the world in which they happen, the village, seaside resort, college or studio, is familiar to us, if not from our own experience, at least in the newspaper or the lives of friends. The characters, though normally realized superficially, are as recognizably human as our less intimate associates. A story set in a more remote environment, African jungle or Australian bush, ancient China or gaslit London, appeals to our interest in geography or history, and most detective story writers are conscientious in providing a reasonably authentic background. The elaborate, carefully assembled plot, despised by the modem intellectual critics has found refuge in the murder mystery, with its sprinkling of clues, its spicing with apparent impossibilities, all with appropriate solutions and explanations at the end. With the guilt of escapism from Real Life nagging gently, we secretly revel in the unmasking of evil by a vaguely superhuman sleuth, who sees through and dispels the cloud of suspicion which has hovered so unjustly over the innocent.
Though its villain also receives his rightful deserts, the thriller presents a less comfortable and credible world. The sequence of fist fights, revolver duels, car crashes and escapes from gas-filled cellars exhausts the reader far more that the hero, who, suffering from at least two broken ribs, one black eye, uncountable bruises and a hangover, can still chase and overpower an armed villain with the physique of a wrestler. He moves dangerously through a world of ruthless gangs, brutality, a vicious lust for power and money and, in contrast to the detective tale, with a near omniscient arch-criminal whose defeat seems almost accidental. Perhaps we miss in the thriller the security of being safely led by our imperturbable investigator past a score of red herrings and blind avenues to a final gathering of suspects when an unchallengeable elucidation of all that has bewildered us is given and justice and goodness prevail. All that we vainly hope for from life is granted vicariously.
41.According to the novel, what may the crime novel be regarded as?
[A] An inspectable form of the conventional novel.
[B] A legitimate branch of novel.
[C] A form related in some ways to the historical novel.

[B] They enjoy writing these stories.

[B] The existence of a neat closely-knit story.
[C] The inekevance to authentic situations.
[D] The eventual solution to the mystery.
44.The detective story is similar to the thriller in that .
[A] neither has involved plots
[B] both demonstrate the triumph of right over wrong
[C] neither lacks amazing tough heroes
[D] both are condemned by the modern critics

[B] In providing excitement and suspense.
[C] In appealing to the intellectual curiosity of the reader.
[D] In ensuring that everything comes right in the end.

Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:
In 1626, Peter Minuit, governor of the Dutch settlements in North America known as New Amsterdam, negotiated with Canarsee Indian chiefs for the purchase of Manhattan Island for merchandise valued at sixty guilders or about $24.12. He purchased the island for the Dutch West India Company.
The next year, Fort Amsterdam was built by the company at the extreme southern tip of the island. Because attempts to encourage Dutch immigration were not immediately successful, offers, generous by the standards of the era, were extended throughout Europe. Consequently, the settlement became the most heterogeneous of the North American colonies. By 1637, the fort had expanded into the village of New Amsterdam, and other small communities had grown up around it, including New Haarlem and Stuyvesant’s Bouwery, and New Amsterdam began to prosper, developing characteristics of religious and linguistic tolerance unusual for the times. By 1643, it was reported that eighteen different languages were heard in New Amsterdam alone.
Among the multilingual settlers was a large group of English colonists from Connecticut and Massachusetts who supported the English King’s claim to all of New Netherlands set out in a charter that gave the territory to his brother James, the Duke of York. In1664, when the English sent a formidable fleet of warships into the New Amsterdam harbor, Dutch governor Peter Stuyvesant surrendered without resistance.
When the English acquired the island, the village of New Amsterdam was renamed New York in honor of the Duke. By the onset of the Revolution, New York City was already a bustling commercial center. After the war, it was selected as the first capital of the United States. Although the government was eventually moved, first to Philadelphia and then to Washington, D.D, New York City has remained the unofficial commercial capital.
During the 1690s, New York became a haven for pirates who conspired with leading merchants to exchange supplies for their ships in return for a share in the plunder. As a colony, New York exchanged many agricultural products for English manufactured goods. In addition, trade with the West Indies prospered. There centuries after his initial trade with the Indians, Minuit’s tiny investment was worth more than seven billion dollars.
46.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
[A] A History of New York City
[B] An Account of the Dutch Colonies
[C] A Biography of Peter Minuit
[D] The First Capital of the United States
47.What did the Indians receive in exchange for their island?
[A] Sixty Dutch guilders
[B] $24.12 U.S.

[B] The Dutch West India Company allowed freedom of speech.
[C] The Dutch West India Company recruited settlers from many different countries in Europe.
[D] The Indians who lived there before the Dutch West India Company purchase spoke many languages.
