QUESTION 1 Đ N QUESTION 80)
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.
The initial contact between American Indians and European settlers usually involved trade,
whereby Indians acquired tools and firearms and the Europeans obtained furs. These initial events usually
pitted Indian tribes against each other as they competed for the European trade and for the lands
containing fur-producing animals. When the furs had been depleted, the Europeans began a campaign to
obtain the lands the Indians occupied. The Indians often formed confederations and alliances to fight back
the Europeans; however, the Indians’ involvement in the white people’s wars usually disrupted these
confederations. Indians resisted the attempts by the whites to displace them. They fought defensive wars
such as the Black Hawk War in 1832. Indian uprisings also occurred, like the Sioux uprising in the 1860s.
Despite the resistance of the Indians, the Europeans were destined to win the conflict. After Indian
resistance was crushed, the whites legitimized the taking of Indian lands by proposing treaties, frequently
offering gifts to Indian chiefs to get them sign the treaties. Once an Indian group had signed a treaty, the
whites proceeded to remove them from their land. Often the Indians were forced west of the Mississippi
into Indian Territory-land the whites considered uninhabitable. If only a few Indians remained after the
conquest, they were often absorbed by local tribes or forced onto reservations.
No aspect of American history is more poignant than the accounts of the forced removal of Indians
across the continent. As white settlers migrated farther west, Indians were forced to sign new treaties
giving up the lands earlier treaties had promised them. Some Indian tribes, realizing the futility of
resistance, accepted their fate and moved westward without force. The Winnebagos, who offered little
resistance, were shifted from place to place between 1829 and 1866. About half of them perished during
their perpetual sojourn. Other tribes, however, bitterly resisted. The Seminoles signed a treaty in 1832 but
violently resisted removal. Hostilities broke out in 1835 and continued for seven years. The United States
government lost nearly 1,500 men and spent over $50 million in its attempts to crush Seminole resistance.
Most of Seminoles were eventually forced to Indian Territory. However, several hundred remained in the
Florida Everglades, where their descendants live today.

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.
The election of Andrew Jackson to the presidency in 1928 marked the political ascendancy of the
“common man” in American politics. Whereas all previous presidents had been Easterners from well-to-do
families, Jackson was a self-made man of modest wealth from the West. Born in 1767, Jackson fought in
the American Revolution, in which many of his relatives died. Afterwards, he studied law and moved to the
Western District of North California. When that territory became the state of Tennessee, Jackson was
elected the state’s first congressman. His name became a household word during the war of 1812,
when, as a U.S Army major general, he led troops against the Creek Indians in the Mississippi Territory
and later defeated the British at New Orleans.
After his presidential inauguration, Jackson rode on horseback to the White House to attend a
private party. Crowds of well-wishers suddenly appeared at the reception and nearly destroyed the White
House as they tried to glimpse the new president. The common man had made a dramatic entrance onto
the national political scene.
Jackson’s two terms moved American society toward truer democracy. Many states abandoned
property requirements for voting. Elected officials began to act more truly as representatives of the people
than as their leaders. As president of the common man, Jackson waged a war against the Bank of the
United States, vetoing the bill that re-chartered the institution, declaring it a dangerous monopoly that
profited the wealthy few.
Although he had built his reputation as an Indian fighter during the War of 1812, Jackson was not
an Indian hater. He adopted what was at the time considered an enlightened solution to the Indian
problem-removal. Many tribes submitted peacefully to being moved to the West. Others were marched by
force to the Indian Territory, under brutal conditions, along what the Cherokees called the Trail of Tears.
One of Andrew Jackson’s most enduring legacies was the Democratic Party, which under him
became a highly organized political party. In opposition to the Democrats were the Whigs, a party that
attracted supporters of the Bank of the United States and opposed the tyranny of the man called “King
Andrew”. A less specific but more basic legacy is the populist philosophy of politics that still bears the
name “Jacksonian Democracy.”
Question 13: The author’s perspective toward Andrew Jackson could be best described as_______.
A. critical
B. emotional
C. personal
D. historical
Question 14: The phrase ‘became the household word” in paragraph 1 means that__________.
A. a house style was called Jackson.
B. Jackson acquired fame.
C. people criticized Jackson.
D. Jackson was a popular boy’s name
Question 15: The author suggests that Jackson’s election and inauguration __________.
A. destroyed the White House.
B. brought a new style to the presidency.
C. made a lot of common people angry.
D. put a military man in the White House for the first time.
Question 16: The word “institution” in paragraph 3 refers to__________.
A. the presidency of the United States
B. American society.
C. The Bank of the United States.
D. democracy
Question 17: According to the passage, why did Jackson oppose the Bank of the United States?
A. He thought it benefited only rich people.
B. It started a war.
