Read the following passage and mart the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
The time when human crossed the Arctic land bridge from Siberia to Alaska seems remote to us
today, but actually represents a late stage in the prehistory of humans, an era when polished stone
implements and bows and arrows were already being used and dogs had already been domesticated.
When these early migrants arrived in North America, they found the woods and plains dominated by
three types of American mammoths. These elephants were distinguished from today’s elephants mainly
by their thick, shaggy coats and their huge, upward–curving tusks. They had arrived on the continent
hundreds of thousands of years before their followers. The woolly mammoth in the North, the Columbian
mammoth in middle North America, and the imperial mammoth of the South, together with their distant
cousins the mastodons, dominated the land. Here, as in the Old World, there is evidence that humans
hunted these elephants, as shown by numerous spear points found with mammoth remains.
 

Then, at the end of the Ice Age, when the last glaciers had retreated, there was a relatively
sudden and widespread extinction of elephants. In the New World, both mammoths and mastodons
disappeared. In the Old World, only Indian and African elephants survived.
 

Why did the huge, seemingly successful mammoths disappear? Were humans connected with
their extinction? Perhaps, but at that time, although they were cunning hunters, humans were still widely
settled and not very numerous. It is difficult to see how they could have prevailed over the mammoth to
such an extent.
Question 38: With which of the following is the passage primarily concerned?
A. Techniques used to hunt mammoths
B. The relationship between man and mammoth in the New World
C. The prehistory of humans
D. Migration from Siberia to Alaska

Question 39: Where were the imperial mammoths the dominant type of mammoth?
A. in South America

B. in the central portion of North America
C. in the southern part of North America

D. in Alaska

Question 40: The phrase “these early migrants” in paragraph 2 refers to ............
A. mastodons

B. humans

C. mammoths

D. dogs

Question 41: It can be inferred that when humans crossed into the New World, they ............
A. had never seen mammoth before
B. soon learned to use dogs to hunt mammoths
C. brought mammoths with them from the Old World
D. had previously hunted mammoths in Siberia

Question 42: Which of the following is NOT true about prehistoric humans at the time of mammoths
extinction?
A. They were concentrated in a small area.

B. They were skilled hunters.
C. They were relatively few in number.

D. They knew how to use bows and arrows.

Read the following passage and mart the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
What is meant by the term economic resources? In general, these are all the natural, man–made,
and human resources that go into the production of goods and services. This obviously covers a lot of
ground: factories and farms, tools and machines, transportation and communication facilities, all types of
natural resources, and labor. Economic resources can be broken down into two general categories:
proper resources– land and capital– and human resources– labor and entrepreneurial skills.
 

What do economists mean by land? Much more than the non–economist. Land refers to all
natural resources that are usable in the production process: arable land, forests, mineral and oil
deposits, and so on. What about capital? Capital goods are all the man–made aids to producing, storing,
transporting, and distributing goods and services. Capital goods differ from consumer goods in that the
latter satisfy wants directly, while the former do so indirectly by facilitating the production of consumer
goods. It should be noted that capital as defined here does not refer to money. Money, as such, produces
nothing.
 

The term labor refers to the physical and mental talents of humans used to produce goods or
services (with the exception of a certain set of human talents, entrepreneurial skills, which will be
considered separately because of their special significance). Thus the services of a factory worker or an
office worker, a ballet dancer or an astronaut all fall under the general heading of labor.
Question 46: What is the author's main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To explain the concept of labor.
B. To criticize certain uses of capital.
C. To contrast capital goods and consumer goods.
D. To define economic resources.

Question 47: The phrase “the latter” refers to ............
A. non–economists

B. consumer goods

C. capital goods

D. economist

Question 48: When non–economists use the term "land", its definition ............
A. is much more restrictive than when economists use it
B. is much more general than when economists use it
C. includes all types of natural resources
D. changes from place to place

Question 49: Which of the following could be considered a capital good as defined in the passage?
A. A railroad

B. A coal deposit

C. Human skills

D. Money

Question 50: The word “arable” is closer in meaning to ............
A. dry

B. open

C. developed

D. fertile
