In early days no medical college took a woman student. Elizabeth Blackwell, however, was
determined to become a doctor. The young American wrote again and again to a number of medical
colleges, asking if she could be enrolled but each time the answer was NO.
Then one day, to her surprise, she got a letter from the dean of a college in Geneva, which said YES.
At first Geneva College, like the other colleges, was not willing to enroll Elizabeth. But later the
important people of that college learned that Elizabeth’s application had the support of a famous doctor,
and they were afraid to offend that man. So the dean decided to play a trick by turning the matter over to
the student’s general meeting of the college, thinking that the students would be the last to agree to take
Elizabeth. When the male students met, most students took no interest in the matter. Of the rest, some
considered the young American’s idea interesting and some thought by having Elizabeth they would be
proud of their college training the world’s first woman doctor. Very soon the students all agreed to
accept Elizabeth.
The dean of Geneva College was of course very sorry to learn this, but seeing that he could do
nothing to keep Elizabeth out, he gave in.

A. have free medical education C. become a student in his college

Question 31: Some students thought if they let Elizabeth join them, she would become the first woman
doctor in_________.

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 28 to 32.

Upon the creation of the United States, one of the core concepts on which the hopes for the new democracy were pinned was the ideal that its citizens would be enlightened individuals with clearly articulated rights and the opportunity for individual achievement and education. It was believed that in a free nation where the power belongs to the people, the commitment to education defines the progress of that democracy and is the catalyst for future progress. This core value has not only stood the test of time but has also grown in importance.

In this new Information Era and international economy, education is an increasingly vital commodity, a precursor of potential success and a driving force of chance. It is important to recognize, however, that we approach education today differently than in the past, partly because the kinds of jobs people had didn’t require the kind of basic education and specialized training that is often required in the workforce today. In the 1950s, for instance, only 20 percent of American jobs were classified as professional, 20 percent as skilled; and 60 percent as unskilled. Today, our world has changed. The proportion of unskilled jobs has fallen to 20 percent, while jobs now account for at least 60 percent of the workforce. Even more important, almost every job today increasingly requires a combination of academic knowledge and practical skills that require learning throughout a lifetime.

Question 28: Education is defined in this passage as a driving force of chance because ___________

A. without education, no changes could have happened in American society so far.

B. the government of the United States wants to drive social changes in their own ways.

C. education has helped to bring about and orient most changes in the American workforce.

D. any American citizen who wants to changes his driving license must be very well-educated.

Question 29: The passage shows the percentage of jobs that require higher training in the US__________ between 1950s and now.

A. has remained the same B. has changed dramatically

C. has been reversed D. has changed slightly

Question 30: The phrase “enlightened individuals” in the first sentence most likely means “people who ____________.”

A. always appear brilliant-looking in public B. have often been well-exposed to light

C. have acquired an adequate level of education D. bring light to anywhere they go

Question 31: In order to become a good American citizen today, in the author’s point of view, any individual must ___________

A. know well all his/her rights and be ready to grasp his/her opportunity of success in life

B. study carefully the history of American educational and vocational systems even since their creation

C. understand thoroughly the combination of academic knowledge and practical skills

D. move actively forward in the new Information Era and international economy with a prestigious diploma

Question 32: Which of the following titles would be best for the passage?

A. Education and Jobs in the Past and at Present in the United States.

B. The Significant Role of Education in American Citizens’ Careers

C. Academic Knowledge and Practical Skills in American Professions

D. Recent Changes of Educational and Vocational Systems in America

Did you know that you do not have to be a chemist to invent something? An example of chemistry invention that was made by a non-scientist is Liquid Paper. In 1952, a divorced woman named Bette Nesmith Graham needed to work to support herself and her son. Life was very difficult for a single mother. [1] She soon found a job as a typist, but she was not very good at it. [2] She made a lot of errors typing leading her to formulate a white tempura paint to hide them. [3] Using her kitchen as a laboratory, she developed a liquid that other people wanted to buy and use. She named this liquid “Mistake Out” [4]

While continuing to work as a secretary, she educated herself in business methods, promotion, and research until she was satisfied that the product she had developed was really worthwhile. Sometimes around 1952 she offered “Mistake Out” to IBM, which turned it down. From 1952 until 1979 she continued to make and sell “Mistake Out”, now renamed “Liquid Paper”, out of her home.
