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 questions from 36 to 42.
Telecommuting is a form of computer communication between employees’ homes and
offices. For employees whose jobs involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data
or typing reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can
communicate over telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees can dial the office
computer and transmit the material to their employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates
that there are approximately 8,7 million telecommuters. But although the numbers are rising
annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business
Week published “The Portable Executive” as its cover story a few years ago. Why hasn’t
telecommuting become more popular ?
Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on
the part of many managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a
large work force scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for
managing them are not yet developed, thereby complicating the manager’s responsibilities.
It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are reluctant to
accept the opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and
many are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are
not more visible in the office setting. Some people feel that even when a space in their homes
is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from the office.
Question 36: How many Americans are involved in telecommuting?
A. More than predicted in Business Week.
B. More than 8 million.
C. Fewer than estimated in USA Today.
D. Fewer than last year.
Question 37: The phrase “of no consequence” means ___________.
A. of no use
B. of no good
C. unimportant
D. irrelevant
Question 38: The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuting,
EXCEPT ___________ .
A. the opportunities for advancement
B. the different system of supervision
C. the lack of interaction with a group
D. The work place is in the home
Question 39: The word “ them” which is bold and italic refers to ___________.
A. systems
B. telecommuters C. executives
D. responsibilities
Question 40: The reason why telecommuting has not become popular is that the employees
___________.
A. needn't regular interaction with their families
B. are worried about the promotion if they are not seen at the office
C. like that a work area in their home is away from the office
D. are ignorant of telecommuting
Question 41: It can be inferred from the passage that the author is ___________.
A. a telecommuter
B. the manager
C. a statistician
D. a reporter
Question 42: When Business Week published “ The Portable Executive “, it implied
that___________.

D. most telecommuters were satisfied with their work
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 questions from 43 to 50.
Marianne Moore (1887-1972) once said that her writing could be called poetry only
because there was no other name for it. Indeed her poems appear to be extremely compressed
essays that happen to be printed in jagged lines on the page. Her subjects were varied:
animals, laborers, artists, and the craft of poetry. From her general reading came quotations that
she found striking or insightful. She included these in her poems, scrupulously enclosed in
quotation marks, and sometimes identified in footnotes. Of this practice, she wrote,
"Why many quotation marks?" I am asked ... When a thing has been so well that it could not be
said better, why paraphrase it? Hence, my writing is, if not a cabinet of fossils, a kind of
collection of flies in amber." Close observation and concentration on detail and the methods of
her poetry.
Marianne Moore grew up in Kirkwood, Missouri, near St. Lois. After graduation from
Bryn Mawr College in 1909, she taught commercial subjects at the Indian School in Carlisle,
Pennsylvania. Later she became a librarian in New York City. During the 1920’s she was
editor of The Dial, an important literary magazine of the period. She lived quietly all her
life, mostly in Brooklyn, New York. She spent a lot of time at the Bronx Zoo, fascinated by
animals. Her admiration of the Brooklyn Dodgers-before the team moved to Los Angeles-was
widely known.
Her first book of poems was published in London in 1921 by a group of friends
associated with the Imagist movement. From that time on her poetry has been read with interest
by succeeding generations of poets and readers. In 1952 she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for
her Collected Poems. She wrote that she did not write poetry for money or fame. To earn a
living is needful, but it can be done in routine ways. One writes because one has
a burning desire to objectify what it is indispensable to one's happiness to express.
Question 43: What is the passage mainly about?
A. The influence of the imagists on Marianne Moore. B. Essayists and poets of the 1920's.
C. The use of quotations in poetry.
D. Marianne Moore's life and work.
Question 44: Which of the following can be inferred about Moore's poems?
A. They are better known in Europe than the United States.
B. They do not use traditional verse forms.
C. They were all published in The Dial.
D. They tend to be abstract.

A. artists
B. animals
C. fossils
D. workers
Question 46: Where did Marianne Moore grow up?
A. In Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
B. In Kirkwood.
C. In New York City
D. In Los Angeles.
Question 47: The author mentions all of the following as jobs held by Moore EXCEPT
________
A. commercial artist
B. teacher
C. magazine editor
D. librarian
Question 48: Where did Moore spend most of her adult life?
A. In Kirkwood.
