Passage 1
Everyday life in the British colonies of North America may now seem glamorous, especially as reflected in antique shops. But judged by modern standards, it was quite a drab existence. For most people, the labour was heavy and constant from daybreak to nightfall.
Basic comforts now taken for granted were lacking. Public buildings were often not heated at all. Drafty homes were heated only by inefficient fireplaces. There was no running water or indoor plumbing. The flickering light of candles and whale oil lamps provided inadequate illumination. There was no sanitation service to dispose of garbage; instead, long-snouted hogs were allowed to roam the streets, consuming refuse.
1. Find the word or phrase in paragraph 1 that is most nearly OPPOSITE in meaning to the word glamorous.
2. Find the word or phrase in paragraph 2 that is closest in meaning to the word refuse.
Passage 2
Blood is a complex fluid composed of several types of cells suspended in plasma, the liquid portion of the blood. Red blood cells make up the vast majority of blood cells. Hemoglobin in the red blood cells picks up oxygen in the blood and delivers it to the tissues of the body. Then these cells carry carbon dioxide from the body’s cells to the lungs.
Think of it as a railroad that hauls freight. The cargo (oxygen) is loaded into a railroad car (hemoglobin). Then the locomotive (a red blood cell) carries the cars where they are needed.
After unloading, the train returns with a different cargo (carbon dioxide) and the process starts over.
Hemoglobin is the part of the cell that traps oxygen and carbon dioxide. It contains a compound called porphyrin that consists of a carbon-based ring with four nitrogen atoms facing a central hole. The nitrogen bonds to an iron atom, and the iron then captures one molecule of oxygen or carbon dioxide.
3. Find the word or phrase in paragraph 2 that is closest in meaning to the word hauls.
4. Find the word or phrase in paragraph 2 that is closest in meaning to the word cargo..
5. Find the word or phrase in paragraph 3 that is closest in meaning to the word traps.
Passage 3
Taking over as president of Harvard in 1869, Charles W. Eliot pioneered a break with the traditional curriculum. The usual course of studies at U.S. universities at the time emphasized classical languages, mathematics, rhetoric, and ethics. Eliot initiated a system under which most required courses were dropped in favour of elective courses. The university increased its offerings and stressed physical and social sciences, the fine arts, and modern languages. Soon other universities all over the United States were following Harvard’s lead.
6. Find the word or phrase in the passage that is closest in meaning to the word pioneered.
7. Find the word or phrase in the passage that is closest in meaning to the word curriculum.
8. Find the word or phrase in the passage that is closest in meaning to the word emphasized.
9. Find the word or phrase in the passage that is most nearly OPPOSITE in meaning to the word required
Passage 4
The Pleiades, named after the seven sisters of Greek mythology, is a star cluster that can be seen with the naked eye. It appears as a dipper-shaped group of stars high overhead on autumn evenings. It is so young (only a few million years old) that many of its stars appear to be sur- rounded by a luminous blue mist. This haze is actually starlight reflecting off debris left behind after the stars were formed. Our own Sun’s stellar neighbourhood probably looked much like this just after its formation.
10. Find the word or phrase in the passage that is closest in meaning to the word cluster
11. Find the word or phrase in the passage that is closest in meaning to the word mist.
Passage 5
Interior designers may claim that a solitary goldfish displayed in a glass bowl makes a striking minimalist fashion statement, but according to a team of British researchers, goldfish learn from each other and are better off in groups than alone. In one experiment, two groups of goldfish were released into a large aquarium separated by a transparent plastic panel. On one side, food was hidden in various locations. The fish on that side foraged for the food while the fish on the other side of the clear panel watched. When released into the feeding area, these observant fish hunted for the food exactly in the proper locations. Other experiments showed that fish raised in a group are less fearful of attack than fish raised alone. And not only are they less skittish, they are also better at avoiding enemies in the event of actual danger.
12. Find the word or phrase in the passage that is closest in meaning to the word solitary.
13. Find the word or phrase in the passage that is closest in meaning to the word transparent.
14. Find the word or phrase in the passage that is closest in meaning to the word foraged.
15. Find the word or phrase in the passage that is closest in meaning to the word skittish.
Passage 6
Although business partnerships enjoy certain advantages over sole proprietorships, there are drawbacks as well. One problem that may afflict partnerships is the fact that each general partner is liable for the debts incurred by any other partner. Moreover, he or she is responsible for lawsuits resulting from any partner’s malpractice. Interpersonal conflicts may also plague partnerships. All partnerships, from law firms to rock groups, face the problem of personal disagreements. Another problem is the difficulty of dissolving partnerships. It is much easier to dissolve a sole proprietorship than it is to terminate a partnership. Generally, a partner who wants to leave must find someone—either an existing partner or an outsider acceptable to the remaining partners—to buy his or her interest in the firm.
16. Find the word or phrase in the passage that is most nearly OPPOSITE in meaning to the word drawbacks.
17. Find the word or phrase in the passage that is closest in meaning to the word liable.
18. Find the word or phrase in the passage that is closest in meaning to the word conflicts.
19. Find the word or phrase in the passage that is closest in meaning to the word plague.
20. Find the word or phrase in the passage that is closest in meaning to the word dissolve.
