Many people believe the glare from snow causes snow-blindness. Yet, dark glasses or not, they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snow-blindness, when exposed to several hours of "snow light".
The United States Army has now determined that the glare from snow does not cause snow- blindness in troops in a snow-covered country. Rather, a man's eyes frequently find nothing to focus on in a broad expanse of a snow-covered area. So his gaze continually shifts and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding nothing, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become sore and the eye muscles ache. Nature balances this annoyance by producing more and more liquid which covers the eyeballs. The liquid covers the eyeballs in increasing quantity until vision blurs. And the result is total, even though temporary, snow-blindness.
Experiments led the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts ahead of a main body of troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark-colored objects ahead on which they too can focus. The men following can then see something. Their gaze is arrested. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see, stop searching through the snow-blanketed landscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time, the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snow-blind or lost: In this way the problem of crossing a solid white area is overcome.
Question 30: A suitable title for this passage would be _________.
A. Soldiers Marching in the Snow B. Snow-blindness and How to Overcome It
C. Nature's Cure for Snow-blindness D. Snow Vision and Its Effect on Eyesight
Question 31: According to the paragraph 1, people can suffer from all of the following EXCEPT ________.
A. headaches B. snow-blindness C. eye muscles ache D. watering eyes
Question 32: The word "they" in paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A. bushes B. main troops C. scouts D. experiments
Question 33: The eyeballs become sore and the eye muscles ache because _________.
A. there is nothing to focus on
B. the eyes are annoyed by blinding snow
C. tears cover the eyeballs
D. the eyes are annoyed by blinding sunlight
Question 34: The word "sore" in paragraph 2 mostly means __________.
A. hot B. bitter C. open D. painful
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 35 to 42.
Alexis de Tocqueville, the French political scientist, historian, philosopher and politician, is most famous for a four-volume book he wrote called “Democracy in America”. He came to America in 1831 to study the American form of democracy and what it might mean to the rest of the world. After a visit of only nine months, he wrote a remarkable book which is regarded as a classic. De Tocqueville had unusual powers of observation. He described not only the democratic system of government and how it operated, but also its effect on how Americans think, feel, and act. Many scholars believe he had a deeper understanding of traditional American beliefs and values than anyone else who has written about the United States. What is so remarkable is that many of these traits which he observed nearly 200 years ago, are still visible and meaningful today. His observations are also important because the timing of his visit, the 1830s, was before America was industrialized. This was the era of the small farmer, the small businessman, and the settling of the western frontier. It was the period of history when the traditional values of the new country were newly established. In just a generation, some 40 years since the adoption of the U.S. Constitution, the new form of government had already produced a society of people with unique values. He was, however, a neutral observer and saw both the good and bad sides of these qualities.
The first part of “Democracy in America” was written in 1831-1832 and published in 1835. A highly positive and optimistic account of American government and society, the book was very well received. He attempted to get a glimpse of the essence of American society, all the while promoting his own philosophy: the equaling of the classes and the inevitable depth of aristocratic privilege. The rest of the book he labored on for four years, and in 1840 the second part was published. This was substantially more pessimistic than the first, warning of the dangers despotism and governmental centralization, and applying his ideas and criticisms more directly to France. As a result, it was not received as well as the first part, except in England where it was acclaimed highly.
Question 35: What is the passage primarily about?
A. Alexis de Tocqueville.
B. “Democracy in America”.
C. The progress achieved in America within about 40 years after adoption of the U.S. Constitution.

A. observations
B. how Americans think, feel, and act
C. traditional American beliefs and values
D. visible and meaningful observations
Question 38: What in the passage is mentioned as being truly remarkable?
A. Many of his observations are still visible and meaningful today.
B. The book was so detailed and thorough after only such a comparatively short visit.
C. That the second volume should be so pessimistic in comparison with the first.
D. De Tocqueville’s powers of observation.
Question 39: The word “unique” in line 12 is closest in meaning to ___________.
A. clearly identifiable B. outstanding C. unmatched D. positive

B. The book was most important because it was the first time that American values had been clearly documented
C. De Tocqueville was a slow writer
D. De Tocqueville was primarily motivated by an interest in his own country
