Questions 51 -60 are based on the following passage.
Social control refers to social processes, planned or unplanned, by which people are taught, persuaded, or forced to conform to norms. In every society, some
punishments or negative sanctions are established for deviant behavior. Without deviant behavior there would not be need for social control and without social control
there would not be a way of recognizing the boundary between the acceptable and the unacceptable. Social control may be either formal or informal. Informal mechanisms include expressions of disapproval by significant others and withholding of positive rewards for disapproved behavior. Most people internalize norms in the course of socialization.
This is any group’s most powerful protection against deviance, in that the individual’s own conscience operates as an agent of social control. When informal sanctions fail, formal agents of social control may be called upon. In contemporary society, such formal agents and agencies include psychiatry and other mental health professions;
mental hospitals; police and courts of law; prisons; and social welfare agencies. All these formal agents function to limit, correct, and control violation of norms. Conflict theorists would also point out that social control agents and systems tend, in any society, to serve the interests of powerful groups and to enforce the norms most
beneficial to those who make the rules and who, therefore, define unacceptable behavior.
Social control, whether formal or informal, has a dual function. First, it punishes the wrongdoer and reaffirms the boundaries of acceptable behavior. Second, and less recognized, it regulates the manner in which deviants are treated.
51. Social control refers to processes by which .
A. norms are developed
B. norms are enforced

Questions 61 -70 are based on the following passage.
Every group has a culture, however uncivilized it may seem to us. To the
professional anthropologist, there is no intrinsic superiority of one culture over
another, just as to the professional linguist, there is no intrinsic hierarchy among
languages.
People once thought of the languages of backward groups as undeveloped. While
it is possible that language in general began as a series of grunts and groans, it is a
fact established by the study of “backward” languages that no spoken tongue answers
that description today. Most languages of uncivilized groups are, by our most severe
standards, extremely complex. They differ from Western languages not in their sound
patterns or grammatical structures, which usually are fully adequate for all language
needs, but only in their vocabularies, which reflect the objects and activities known to
their speakers. Even in this aspect, two things are to be noted. First, all languages
seem to possess the machinery for vocabulary expansion, either by putting together
words already in existence or by borrowing them from other languages and adapting
them to their own system. Second, the objects and activities requiring names and
distinctions in “backward” languages, while different from the West, are often
surprisingly numerous and complicated. A Western language distinguishes merely
between two degrees of remoteness (“this” and “that”). But some languages of the
American Indians distinguish between what is close to the speaker, or to the person
addressed, or removed from both, or out of sight, or in the past, or in the future.
61. Every group of human beings .
A. has its own set of ideas, beliefs and ways of life

A. there is no intrinsic superiority of cultures
B. there is no intrinsic hierarchy of languages
C. all languages came from grunts and groans
D. all languages are most severe and standard
63. Most languages of uncivilized groups are .
A. adequate B. numerous
C. ingenious D. ingenuous
64. “Backward” languages fall behind Western languages in .
A. structures B. vocabularies
C. written forms D. sound patterns
65. All languages, whether civilized or not, have .
A. their own ways to transfer ideas

Questions 71 -80 are based on the following passage.
The field of medicine has always attracted its share of quacks and charlatans —
disreputable women and men with little or no medical knowledge who promise quick
cures at cheap prices. The reasons why quackery thrives even in modern times are
easy to find.
To begin with, pain seems to be a chronic human condition. A person whose body
or mind “hurts” will often pay any amount of money for the promise of relief. Second,
even the best medical treatment cannot cure all the ills that beset men and women.
People who mistrust or dislike the truths that their physicians tell them often turn to
more sympathetic ears.
Many people lack the training necessary to evaluate medical claims. Given the
choice between (a) a reputable physician who says a cure for cancer will be long,
expensive and may not work at all, and (b) a salesperson who says that several bottles
of a secret formula “snake oil” will cure not only cancer but tuberculosis as well,
some individuals will opt for “snake oil”.
Many “snake oil” remedies are highly laced with alcohol or narcotic drugs.
Anyone who drinks them may get so drunk or stoned that they drown their pains in
the rising tide of pleasant intoxication. Little wonder that “snake oil” is a popular
cure-all for minor aches and hurts! But let there be no misunderstandings. A very few
“home remedies” actually work. However, most remedies sold by quacks are not only
useless, but often can be harmful as well.
71. In this passage, a quack or a charlatan is .
A. someone who has a special ability
B. someone who has little knowledge

72. The sentence “pain seems to be a chronic human condition” means .
A. pain seems to be very serious
B. pain seems to be very difficult
C. pain seems to last for a long time
D. pain seems to be always happening
73. Quackery thrives even in modern times because .
A. patients pay any amount of money
B. patients do not like their physicians
C. quacks say that they can help patients
D. best medical treatment costs very much
74. People who seek the advice of quacks and charlatans are .
A. those who are poorly educated
B. those who are highly educated
C. those who dislike medical treatments
D. those who mistrust physicians’ truths
75. To evaluate medical claims, one must .
A. turn to reputable doctors B. make an adequate choice

because .

80. Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?
A. Distrust of Physicians B. Medical Treatment
C. Snake Oil Remedies D. Guard Against Quackery
Questions 81 -90 are based on the following passage.
Modern industrial society grants little status to old people. In fact, such a society
has a system of built-in obsolescence. There is no formal system for continuing our
education throughout our life in order to keep up with rapidly changing knowledge.
When our education and job skills have grown obsolete, we are treated exactly like
those who have never gained an education or job skills and are not encouraged or
given the opportunity to begin anew.
As a society becomes more highly developed, the overall status of older people
diminishes. Improved health technology creates a large pool of old people, who
compete for jobs with the young. However, economic technology lowers the demand
for workers and creates new jobs for which the skills of the aged are obsolete, forcing
older people into retirement. At the same time, young people are being educated in the
new technology and are keeping pace with rapid changes in knowledge. Finally,
urbanization creates age-segregated neighborhoods. Because the old live on fixed
incomes, they must often live in inferior housing. All these factors — retirement,
obsolete knowledge and skills, inferior standards of living — lower the status of the
aged in society.
A century ago, when one could expect to live only to 50 or so, the life span more
or less coincided with the occupation and family cycle. But today the average life
span allows for fifteen to twenty years of life after these cycles. It appears that our life
span is outpacing our usefulness in society.
81. By “a system of built-in obsolescence” the author means .
A. no formal systems exists in modern industrial society
B. old people have no status in modern industrial society
C. young people have chances in modern industrial society

D. People don’t have chances to begin anew
83. The more highly developed a society is, .
A. the more advanced technology will be
B. the larger the number of people will be
C. the more diminished old people’s status will be
D. the lower the overall status of the people will be
84. The high development of economic technology .
A. makes job skills out of fashion
B. lowers the demand for workers
C. forces old people into retirement
D. creates new jobs for older people
85. Which of the following statements is not true?
A. Retired people could only live on fixed incomes
B. Retired people are more skillful than young people

Questions 91 -100 are based on the following passage.
When you first drift off into slumber, your eyes will roll about a bit, your
temperature will drop slightly, your muscles will relax, and your breathing will
become quite regular. Your brain waves slow down a bit, with the alpha rhythm
predominating for the first few minutes. This is the first stage of sleep. For the next 30
minutes or so, you will drift down through Stage 2 and Stage 3. The lower your stage
of sleep, the slower your brain waves will be. About 40-60 minutes after you lose
consciousness, you will reach the last stage. Your brain waves will show the delta
rhythm. You may think that you stay at this deep stage all the rest of the night, but that
turns out not to be the case. About 80 minutes after you fall into slumber, your activity
cycle will increase slightly. The delta rhythm will disappear, to be replaced by the
activity pattern of brain waves. Your eyes will begin to dart around under your closed
eyelids. This period of Rapid Eye Movements lasts for 8-15 minutes and is called
REM sleep.
During both light and deep sleep, the muscles in your body are relaxed but capable
of movement. As you slip into REM sleep, a very odd thing occurs — most of the
voluntary muscles in your body become paralyzed. Although your brain shows very
rapid bursts of neural activity during REM sleep, your body is incapable of moving.
REM sleep is accompanied by extensive muscular inhibition.
