Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions Two-lane highways, like the railways before them, seemed capable of making or breaking a community in the 1920s. The automobile was every American’s idea of freedom, and the construction of hard-surface roads was one of the largest items of government expenditure, often at great cost to every thing else, including education.American car registrations rose from one million in 1913 to ten million in 1923. Automobile sales in the state of Michigan outnumbered those in Great Britain and Ireland combined. By 1927, Americans were driving some twenty-six million automobiles, one car for every five people in the country.The 1920 U.S. Census revealed that for the first time in history more people lived in cities than on farms, and they were leaving the farm and reaching the city by automobile. The growth of roads and the automobile industry made cars the lifeblood of the petroleum industry and a major customer of the steel factories. Cars also caused expansions in outdoor recreation and tourism and related industries-service stations, roadside restaurants, and motels. After World War two, the automobile industry reached new heights, and new roads led out of the city to the suburbs, where two-car families transported children to shopping malls and segregated schools.In 1956 Congress passed the Interstate Highway Act, the peak of a half-century of frenzied road building at government expense and the largest public works program in history. The result was the Interstate Highway System, a network of federally subsidized highways connecting major urban centers. Two-hour commutes, traffic jams, polluted cities, and Disneyland became standard features of American life. Like almost everything else in the 1950s, the construction of interstate highways was justified as a national defense measure.The predominance of private transportation was guaranteed by the federal government. Between 1945 and 1980, 75 percent of federal funds of transportation were spent on highways, while a scant one percent went to buses, trains, or subways. Even before the Interstate Highway System was built, the American bias was clear – which is why the United States has the world’s best road system and nearly its worst public transit system.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.These stories of killer bees in the news in recent years have attracted a lot of attention as the bees have made their way from South America to North America. Killer bees are reputed to be extremely aggressive in nature, although experts say that their aggression may have been somewhat inflated. The killer bee is a hybrid- or combination- of the very mild European strain of honeybee and the considerably more aggressive African bee, which was created when the African strain was imported into Brazil in 1955. The African bees were brought into Brazil because their aggression was considered an advantage: they were far more productive than their European counterparts in that they spent a higher percentage of their time working and continued working longer in inclement weather than did the European bees. These killer bees have been known to attack humans and animals, and some fatalities have occurred. Experts point out, however, that the mixed breed known as the killer bee is actually not at all as aggressive as the pure African bee. They also point out that the attacks have a chemical cause. A killer bee stings only when it has been disturbed; it is not aggressive by nature. However, after a disturbed bee stings and flies away; it leaves its stinger embedded in the victim. In the viscera attached to the embedded stinger is the chemical isoamyl acetate, which has an odor that attracts other bees. As other bees approach the victim of the original sting, the victim tends to panic, thus disturbing other bees and causing them to sting. The new stings create more of the chemical isoamylacetate which attracts more bees and increases the panic level of the victim. Killer bees tend to travel in large clusters or swarms and thus respond in large numbers to the production of isoamyl acetate.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.   Aspirin's origins go back at least as early as 1758. In that year, Englishman Edward Stone noticed a distinctive bitter flavor in the bark of the willow tree. To Stone, this particular bark seemed to have much in common with "Peruvian Bark", which had been used medicinally since the 1640s to bring down fevers and to treat malaria. Stone decided to test the effectiveness of the willow bark. He obtained some, pulverized it into tiny pieces, and conducted experiments on its properties. His tests demonstrated that this pulverized willow bark was effective both in reducing high temperatures and in relieving aches and pains. In 1763, Stone presented his findings to the British Royal Society.       Several decades later, further studies on the medicinal value of the willow bark were being conducted by two Italian scientists. These chemists, Brugnatelli and Fontana, determined that the active chemical that was responsible for the medicinal characteristics in the willow bark was the chemical salicin, which is the active ingredient of today's aspirin.       The name "aspirin" is the trade name of the drug based on the chemical salicin, properly known as acetylsalicylic acid. The trade name "aspirin" was invented for the drug in the 1890s by the Bayer Drug Company in Germany. The first bottles of aspirin actually went on sale to the public just prior to the turn of the century, in 1899.
