In west-central New York state there is a group of eleven long, narrow, glacial lakes known as the finger lakes. from east to west these lakes are Otisco, Skaneateles, Owasco, Cayuga, Seneca, Keuka, Canandaigua, Honeoye, Canadice, Hemlock, and Conesus.

These lakes have been aptly named because of their resemblance to the finger of a hand. Two of the largest of the finger lakes, Seneca and Cayuga, exemplify the selection of the name; Seneca is thirty-seven miles long and four miles across at its widest point, and Cayuga is forty miles long and two miles across.

Although scientist are not completely certain as two how these lakes were formed, most believe that successive sheets of glacial ice carved out the long, narrow valleys. The glacial ice carved out the long, narrow valleys. The glaciers most probably moved along the paths of pre-existing stream valleys and further deepened these valleys to depth below sea level. With the melting of the glaciers at the end of the ice age, the lakes were filled.

10. What is the tone of these passage?

Popular architecture in the United States in the beginning of the twentieth century continued as it had at the end of the nineteenth century, with elaborate ornate historical motifs. The new skycrapers sprouting up at the time were often ornately finished with elements of ghotic or roman detailing. During this period of emphasis on intricate ornamentation, certain architects began moving in a different direction, from the historic attention to ornate detailing toward more modern design typified by simplified flowing lines.

Frank Lloyd wright, the best known of these early modern architects, developed a style that he termed organic architecture, a building style based on natural forms rather than on the intricately detailed styles that had been popular. Wright started work in Chicago designing " prairie house", long, low buildings featuring flowing horizontal lines and simplistic unity of design. These buildings often centered around massive stone fireplaces with rooms open to each other and space flowing from one room to the next, they were intended to fit the side open expanses of the midwest plains that served as a setting for Chicago. These "prairie houses" found in Chicago's suburban areas, served to tie the rapidly developing neighborhoods of Chicago with its plains heritage.

In the American colonies there was little money. England did not supply the colonies with coins and it did not allow the colonies to make their own coins, expect for the Massachusetts bay colony, which received permission for a short period in 1652 to make several kinds of silver coins. England want to keep money out America as a means of controlling trade: America was forced to trade only with England if it did not have the money to buy products from other countries. The result during this prerevolutionary period was that the colonist used various goods in place of money: beaver pelts, Indian wampum, and tobacco leaves were all commonly used substitutes for money. The colonist also made use of any foreign coins they could obtain. Dutch, Spanish, French, and English coins were all in use in the American colonies.

During the revolutionary war, funds needed to finance the war, so each of the individual states and the continental congress issued paper money. So much of this paper money was printed that by the end of the war, almost no one would accept it. As a result, trade in goods and the use of foreign coins still flourished during this period.

By the time the revolutionary war had been won by the American colonists, the monetary system was in states of total disarray. To remedy this situation, the new constitution of the United States, approved in 1789, allowed congress to issue money. The individual states could no longer have their own money supply. A few years later, the coinage act 1792 made the dollar the official currency of the United States and put the country on a bimetallic standart. In this bimetallic system, both gold and silver were legal money, and the rate of exchange of silver to gold was fixed by the government at sixteen to one.

QUESTION:

31. The passage mainly discusses....

In the American colonies there was little money. England did not supply the colonies with coins and it did not allow the colonies to make their own coins, expect for the Massachusetts bay colony, which received permission for a short period in 1652 to make several kinds of silver coins. England want to keep money out America as a means of controlling trade: America was forced to trade only with England if it did not have the money to buy products from other countries. The result during this prerevolutionary period was that the colonist used various goods in place of money: beaver pelts, Indian wampum, and tobacco leaves were all commonly used substitutes for money. The colonist also made use of any foreign coins they could obtain. Dutch, Spanish, French, and English coins were all in use in the American colonies.

QUESTION:

41. The word "fixed" in paragraph 3 (last line) is closets in meaning to which of the following?

The human brain, with an average weight of fourteen kilograms, is the control centre of the body. It receives information, and rapidly sends out responses; it also stores the information that is the source of human thoughts and feelings. Each of the three main parts of the brain-the cerebrum, the cerebellum, and the brain stem-has its own role in carrying out these functions.

The cerebrum is by far the largest of the three parts, taking up 85 percent of the brain by weight. The outside layer of the cerebrum, the cerebral cortex, is a grooved and bumpy surface covering the nerve cells beneath. The various sections of the cerebrum are the sensory cortex, which is responsible for receiving and decoding sensory messages from throughout the body; the motor cortex, which sends instructions to the skeletal muscles; and the association cortex, which receives, monitors, and process information. It is in the association cortex that the process that allow humans to think take place.

The cerebellum, located below the cerebrum in the back part of the skull, is made of messes of bunched up nerve cells. It is the cerebellum that controls human balance, coordination, and posture.

The brain stem, which connects the cerebrum and the spinal cord, controls various body process such as breathing and heartbeat. It is the major motor and sensory pathway connecting the body and cerebrum.
