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 25 to 29.
In the early 1800's, over 80 percent of the United States labor force was engaged in agriculture.
Sophisticated technology and machinery were virtually non-existent. People who lived in the cities and
were not directly involved in trade often participated in small cottage industries making handcrafted goods.
Others cured meats, ran bakeries, or otherwise produced needed goods and commodities. Blacksmiths,
silversmiths, candle makers, and other artisans worked in their homes or barns, relying on help of family
members or apprentices.
Perhaps no single phenomenon brought more widespread and lasting change to the United States
society than the rise of industrialization. Industrial growth hinged on several economic factors. First,
industry requires an abundance of natural resources, especially coal, iron ore, water, petroleum, and timber
— all readily available on the North American continent. Second, factories demand a large labor supply.
Between the 1870's and the First World War (1914-1918), approximately 23 million immigrants streamed
to the United States, settled in cities, and went to work in factories and mines. They also helped build the
vast network of canals and railroads that crisscrossed the continent and linked important trade centers
essential to industrial growth.
Factories also offered a reprieve from the backbreaking work and financial unpredictability associated
with farming. Many adults, poor and disillusioned with farm life, were lured to the cities by promises of
steady employment, regular paychecks, increased access to goods and services, and expanded social
opportunities. Others were pushed there when new technologies made their labor cheap or expendable;
inventions such as steel plows and mechanized harvesters allowed one farmhand to perform work that
Code 101 Page 2
previously had required several, thus making farming capital-intensive rather than labor-intensive.
Question 25: What aspect of life in the United States does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The transition from an agricultural to an industrial economy.
B. The inventions that transformed life in the nineteenth century.
C. The problems associated with the earliest factories.
D. The difficulty of farm life in the nineteenth century.
Question 26: Which of the following is mentioned in the passage as a reason for the industrial growth that
occurred in the United States before 1914?
A. The availability of natural resources found only in the United States.
B. The decrease in number of farms resulting from technological advances.
C. The replacement of canals and railroads by other forms of transportation.
D. The availability of a large immigrant work force.
Question 27: The word "Others" in line 18 refers to other _____
A. adults B. promises C. goods and services D. social opportunities
Question 28: It can be inferred from the passage that industrialization affected farming in that
industrialization _____
A. increased the price of farm products.
B. limited the need for new farm machinery.
C. created new and interesting jobs on farms.
D. reduced the number of people willing to do farm work.
Question 29: What does the author mean when stating that certain inventions made farming "capital-
intensive rather than labor-intensive"?
A. Workers had to be trained to operate the new machines.
B. Mechanized farming required more capital and fewer laborers.
C. The new inventions were not helpful for all farming activities.
D. Human labor could still accomplish as much work as the first machines.

Not All Hackers Are the Same
As computer use becomes more common, the need for security is more important than ever. One of the
greatest security threats in the online world is computer hacking.
Computer hacking is the unauthorized access to a computer or network of computers. Hackers are
people who illegally enter systems. They may alter or delete information, steal private information, or
spread viruses that can damage or destroy files. But how exactly can a hacker get into a system to do these
things?
Most hackers use information called protocols that are built into computer software. These protocols
allow computers to interact with one another. Protocols are sort of like computer police officers. When a
computer connects to another system, the protocols check to see if the access is valid. The protocols can
also determine how much information can be shared between the two systems. Hackers can manipulate the
protocols to get unlimited access to a computer system.
In fact, just the act of entering a computer network is considered hacking. This is commonly called
passive hacking. Passive hackers get a rush from just being able to access a challenging system like a bank
or military network. Another kind of hacker tries to do damage to a system. After hacking into systems,
these hackers release viruses or alter, delete, or take information. Known as active hackers, they are, by far
the more dangerous of the two.
The easiest way to protect a system is with a good password. Long and unusual passwords are harder
for hackers to guess. For even greater security, some online services now use “password-plus” systems. In
this case, users first put in a password and then put in a second code that changes after the user accesses the
site. Users either have special cards or devices that show them the new code to use the next time. Even if a
hacker steals the password, they won’t have the code. Or if the hacker somehow gets the code, they still
don’t know the password.
Question 36: What is the main idea of this reading?
A. Famous hackers B. Funny things hackers do
C. Hackers and computer security D. Good ways to stop hackers
Question 37: What do hackers do to get into a computer?
A. Spread viruses B. Change security programs
C. Make a new password D. Manipulate codes
Question 38: What is NOT considered hacking?
A. Releasing a virus B. Illegally accessing a computer
C. Turning on a private computer D. Changing unauthorized information
Question 39: Why are active hackers probably considered more dangerous than passive ones?
A. Active hackers are more skilled
B. Passive hackers have more intense personalities.
C. Active hackers do damage
D. Passive hackers are caught more easily.
Question 40: What does “plus” in “password-plus” probably mean?
A. Extra B. Long C. Fast D. Danger

Read the passage and the questions or unfinished sentences. Then choose the answer - A, B, C, or D -
that you think fits best.
The word “robot” first appeared in a 1921 stage play by Czech writer Karel Capek. In the play, a man
makes a machine that can think, which he calls a robot and which ends up killing its owner. In the 1940s, the
American science fiction writer, Isaac Asimov, wrote a series of stories about robots and invented the term
'robotics', the science of robots. Meanwhile, in the real world, the first robots were developed by an engineer,
Joseph F. Engelberger, and an inventor, George C. Devol. Together they started Unimation, a manufacturing
company that produced the first real robot in 1961, called the Unimate. Robots of this type were installed at a
General Motors automobile plant and proved to be a success. They worked reliably and saved money for
General Motors, so other companies were soon acquiring robots as well.
These industrial robots were nothing like the terrifying creatures that can often be seen in science fiction
films. In fact, these robots looked and behaved nothing like humans. They were simply pieces of computer-
controlled machines, with metal "arms" or "hands". Since they were made of metal, they could perform certain
jobs that were difficult or dangerous for humans, particularly jobs that involve high heat. And since robots
were tireless and never got hungry, sleepy, or distracted, they were useful for tasks that would be tiring or
boring for humans. Industrial robots have been improved over the years, and today they are used in many
factories around the world. Though the use of robots has meant the loss of some jobs, at the same time other
jobs have been created in the design, development, and production of the robots.
Outside of industry, robots have also been developed and put into use by governments and scientists in
situations where humans might be in danger. For example, they can be sent in to investigate an unexploded
bomb or an accident at a nuclear power plant. Researchers also use robots to collect samples of hot rocks or
gases in active volcanoes. In space exploration, robots have performed many key tasks where humans could
not be present, such as on the surface of Mars. In 2004, two robotic Rovers, small six-wheeled computerized
cars, were sent to Mars.
Question 31: Which of these statements is TRUE about Karel Capek?
A. He is a famous American playwright.
B. He was the first to create the word “robot”.
C. He invented a machine that can think like humans.
D. He made a robot kill a person.
Question 32: What does the word they in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. terrifying creatures B. humans C. science fiction films D. industrial robots
Question 33: What are industrial robots like?
A. They are computer-controlled machines. B. They are built with metal arms and legs.
C. They behave like humans. D. They can think like humans.
Question 34: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a characteristic of robots?
A. They never need food to survive. B. They can survive without any sleep.
C. They are tired like humans. D. They can do jobs involving intense heat.
Question 35: What can be inferred from the passage about robots?
A. Their appearance negatively affects the job market.
B. They can stop active volcanoes from erupting.
C. They help humans travel to the outer space.
D. They take away some jobs but offer some in return.

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.
By the year 2025, the Earth could lose as many as one fifth of all species known to exist today. In recent
centuries, hundreds of species have disappeared, almost always as a result of human activities. The passenger
pigeon, one familiar example, was a source of food until excessive hunting and habitat loss caused its
extinction in 1914. The North American bison, whose populations were decimated by settlers and market
hunters in the 1800s, came close to sharing the same fate. Bison survive today only because of the efforts of
early conservationists.

Code 101 Page 3 of 4


Today, species require such efforts more urgently than ever. An essential task that falls to present-day
conservationists is to determine which species are most endangered, so that conservation resources can be
applied where action is needed most. Species are categorized by the degree to which their survival in the wild
is threatened. World Wildlife Fund offers a sampling of animals and plants that fall mainly within the two
most serious categories of threat: critically endangered and endangered. What threatens these species'
existence? Some of the top threats are habitat destruction by unsustainable logging and ever-encroaching
human settlement; pollution of water, soil, and air by toxic chemicals; unnatural climate changes due to fossil
fuel use; unmanaged fishing that exhausts fish stocks; and illegal hunting to supply the demand for skins,
hides, traditional medicines, food, and tourist souvenirs. The list which conservationists presents only a
fraction of the species at risk of extinction today and does not include thousands of species whose status we
