SECTION 3: READING COMPREHENSION (s1-60)
Direction:
Questions 51 through 55 are based on the following reading.
The space race is not simply the objective search for knowledge. It is often made
out to be. It is just extension of the race for power on earth. Only the wealthiest nations can
compete, and they do so in the name of scientific research. But in reality, all they are
interested in is power and prestige. They want to impress us, their spectators, with a
magnificent show of strength. Man has played the power game ever since he appeared on
earth. Now they are playing it as it has never been played before. The space race is just
another aspect of the age-old argument that "might is right".
We are often told that technological know-how, acquired in attempting to get us
into the orbit, will be utilized to make life better on earth. But what has the space race done to
relieve the suffering of the earth's starving millions? In what way has it raised the standard of
living of any one of us? As far as the layman is concerned, the practical results of all the
expenditure of money and effort are negligible. Thanks to space research, we can now see
television pictures transmitted live half-way across the globe, and the housewife can use nonstick frying-pans in the kitchen. The w-hole thing becomes utterly absurd when you think that
no matter what problems man overcomes, it is unlikely that he will ever be able to travel to
even the nearest star.
Poverty, hunger, disease, and war are man's greatest enemies, and the world
would be an infinitely better place if the powerful nations devoted half as much money and
effort to these problems as they do the space race. For the first time in this history, man has
:he overwhelming technological resources to combat human suffering, yet he wasted them on
meaningless pursuits.

Questions 56 through 60 are based on the following reading.
The r i1lage of Van Hai in Thailand is surrounded by valuable teak trees, but the
villagers are tbrbidden to chop down any to sell to dealers. The law, however, does not
pre\-ent a r-illager from selling his own house. So the canny village builds a house next to his
oun- made entirell- of teak, then sells it to one of the merchants who drive up from Chiang
lv{ai. This dealer merely dismantles it and carts away the timber.
The r-iilagers normally have large families, and they explain their need for an
extra house to the authorities by claimingthat they need more room for grow-ing chrildren.
When the,v build the extra dwelling, they knock the nails in lightly so the planks can easily be
removed.
You may cali it a cottage industry.

SECTION 3: READING COMPREHENSION (s1-60)
Direction:
Questions 51 through 55 are based on the following reading.
The space race is not simply the objective search for knowledge. It is often made
out to be. It is just extension of the race for power on earth. Only the wealthiest nations can
compete, and they do so in the name of scientific research. But in reality, all they are
interested in is power and prestige. They want to impress us, their spectators, with a
magnificent show of strength. Man has played the power game ever since he appeared on
earth. Now they are playing it as it has never been played before. The space race is just
another aspect of the age-old argument that "might is right".
We are often told that technological know-how, acquired in attempting to get us
into the orbit, will be utilized to make life better on earth. But what has the space race done to
relieve the suffering of the earth's starving millions? In what way has it raised the standard of
living of any one of us? As far as the layman is concerned, the practical results of all the
expenditure of money and effort are negligible. Thanks to space research, we can now see
television pictures transmitted live half-way across the globe, and the housewife can use nonstick frying-pans in the kitchen. The w-hole thing becomes utterly absurd when you think that
no matter what problems man overcomes, it is unlikely that he will ever be able to travel to
even the nearest star.
Poverty, hunger, disease, and war are man's greatest enemies, and the world
would be an infinitely better place if the powerful nations devoted half as much money and
effort to these problems as they do the space race. For the first time in this history, man has
:he overwhelming technological resources to combat human suffering, yet he wasted them on
meaningless pursuits.

Questions 56 through 60 are based on the following reading.
The r i1lage of Van Hai in Thailand is surrounded by valuable teak trees, but the
villagers are tbrbidden to chop down any to sell to dealers. The law, however, does not
pre\-ent a r-illager from selling his own house. So the canny village builds a house next to his
oun- made entirell- of teak, then sells it to one of the merchants who drive up from Chiang
lv{ai. This dealer merely dismantles it and carts away the timber.
The r-iilagers normally have large families, and they explain their need for an
extra house to the authorities by claimingthat they need more room for grow-ing chrildren.
When the,v build the extra dwelling, they knock the nails in lightly so the planks can easily be
removed.
You may cali it a cottage industry.
