The history of television really begins in 1817 with the discovery by Berzelius, a Swedish chemist, of the chemical selenium. It was found that the amount of electric current that selenium could carry depended on how much light struck it.
This discovery directly led to G. R. Carey, an American inventor, (32) _____ up with the first real television system in 1875. His system used selenium to transmit a picture along wires to a row of light bulbs. This picture was not very clear, however.
Over the next few years, a number of scientists and inventors simplified and improved on Carey's system. It was not until1923 that Baird made the first practical transmission.

Researchers in the field of psychology have found that one of the best ways to make an important decision, such as choosing a university to attend or a business to invest in, involves the utilization of a decision worksheet. Psychologists who study optimization compare the actual decisions made by people to theoretical ideal decisions to see how similar they are. Proponents of the worksheet procedure believe that it will yield optimal, that is, the nest decisions. Although there are several variations on the exact format that worksheets can take, they are all similar in their essential aspects.
Worksheets require defining the problem in a clear and concise way and then listing all possible solutions to the problem. Next, the pertinent considerations that will be affected by each decision are listed, and the relative importance of each consideration or consequence is determined. Each consideration is assigned a numerical value to reflect its relative importance. A decision is mathematically calculated by adding these valued together. The alternative with the highest number of points emerges as the best decision.
Since most important problems are multi-faceted, there are several alternatives to choose from, each with unique advantages and disadvantages. One of the benefits of a pencil and paper decision-making procedure is that it permits people to deal with more variables than their minds can generally comprehend and remember. On the average, people can keep about seven ideas in their mind at once. A worksheet can be especially useful when the decision involves a large number of variables with complex relationships. A. realistic example for many college students in the question "What will I do after graduation?. A graduate might seek a position that offers specialized training, purse an advanced degree, or travel abroad for a year.
A decision-making worksheet begins with a succinct statement of the problem that will also help to narrow it. It is important to be clear about the distinction between long-range and immediate goals because long-range goals often involve a different decision than short-range ones. Focusing on long-range goals, a graduating student might revise the question above to "What will I do after graduation that will lead to a successful career?"
Question 36. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A comparison of actual decisions and ideal ones
A tool to assist in making complex decisions
Research on how people make decisions
Differences between long-range and short-range decision making
Question 37. The word "essential" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to
A. introductory B. changeable C. beneficial D. fundamental
Question 38. According to decision-worksheet theory, an optimal decision is defined as one that
is agreed to by the greatest number of people
uses the most decision worksheet
has the most points assigned to it
is agreed to by the greatest number of worksheet
Question 39. The author organizes paragraph 2 by
describing a process C. providing historical background
classifying types of worksheets D. explaining a theory
Question 40. The word "succinct" in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to
A. creative B. satisfactory C. personal D. concise
Question41.The author states that"On the average, people can keep about seven ideas in their mind at once"(paragraph 3) to explain that
most decisions involve seven steps
human mental capacity has limitations
some people have difficulty making minor as well as major decisions
people can learn to keep more than seven ideas in their minds with practice
Question 42. The word "revise" in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to
A. ask B. explain C. change D. predict

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.

Orchids are unique in having the most highly developed of all blossoms, in which the usual male and female reproductive organs are fused in a single structure called the column. The column is designed so that a single pollination will fertilize hundreds or thousands, and in some cases millions, of seeds, so microscopic and light they are easily carried by the breeze. Surrounding the column are three sepals and three petals, sometimes easily recognizable as such, often distorted into gorgeous, weird, but always functional shapes. The most noticeable of the petals is called the labellum, or lip. It is often dramatically marked as an unmistakable landing strip to attract the specific insect the orchid has chosen as its pollinator.
To lure their pollinators from afar, orchids use appropriately intriguing shapes, colors, and scents. At least 50 different aromatic compounds have been analyzed in the orchid family, each blended to attract one, or at most a few, species of insects or birds. Some orchids even change their scents to interest different insects at different times.
Once the right insect has been attracted, some orchids present all sorts of one-way obstacle courses to make sure it does not leave until pollen has been accurately placed or removed. By such ingenious adaptations to specific pollinators, orchids have avoided the hazards of rampant crossbreeding in the wild, assuring the survival of species as discrete identities. At the same time they have made themselves irresistible to collectors.
Question 43. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Birds B. Insects C. Flowers D. Perfume
Question 44. The orchid is unique because of_________.
A. the habitat in which it lives
B. the structure of its blossom
C. the variety of products that can be made from it

A. combined B. hidden C. fertilized D. produced
Question 46. How many orchid seeds are typically pollinated at one time?
A. 200 B. 2,000 C. 20,000 D. 200,000
Question 47. Which of the following is a kind of petal?
A. The column B. The sepal C. The stem D. The labellum
Question 48. The labellum (line 6) is most comparable to.
A. a microscope B. an obstacle course
C. an airport runway D. a racetrack
Question 49. The word "their" in line 10 refers to.
A. orchids B. birds C. insects D. species
Question 50. The word "discrete" in line 13 is closest in meaning to.
A. complicated B. separate C. inoffensive D. functional
