Directions: In this section of the test, you will read FOUR different passages, each followed by 10 questions about it. For
questions 1-40, you are to choose the best answer A, B, C or D, to each question. Then, on your answer sheet, find the number
of the question and fill in the space that corresponds to the letter of the answer you have chosen. Answer all questions
following a passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in that passage.
You have 60 minutes to answer all the questions, including the time to transfer your answers to the answer sheet.
Example
Read the following passage:
PAPER
Paper is named for papyrus, a reed like plant used by ancient Egyptians as writing material more than 5000 years ago.
The Chinese invented the paper that we use 2000 years ago.
A piece of paper is really made up of tiny fibers, unlike a piece of material. The fibers used in paper, however, are plant
fibers, and there are millions of them in one sheet. In addition to the plant fiber, dyes and additives such as resin may be used.
Dyes can make the paper different colors; resin may add weight and texture.
Where do these fibers come from? The majority of paper is made from the plant fiber that comes from trees. Millions
are cut down, but new trees are planted in their place. Paper may be also made from things like old rags or pieces of cloth.
Wastepaper, paper that has been made and used, can be turned into recycled paper. This recycling process saves forest,
energy and reduces air and water pollution.
0. According to the passage, the paper that we use was first invented by ____.
A. the Chinese
B. the Egyptians
C. ancient cultures
D. foresters
You will read in the passage that “the Chinese invented the paper that we use 2000 years ago”, so the correct answer is option
A. the Chinese.
Questions 1-10
One of the greatest things about the Internet is that nobody really owns it. It is a global collection of networks, both big and
small. These networks connect together in many different ways to form the single entity that we know as the Internet. In fact,
the very name comes from this idea of interconnected networks.
Since its beginning in 1969, the Internet has grown from four host computer systems to tens of millions. However, just
because nobody owns the Internet, it doesn't mean it is not monitored and maintained in different ways. The Internet Society,
a non-profit group established in 1992, oversees the formation of the policies and protocols that define how we use and
interact with the Internet.
Every computer that is connected to the Internet is part of a network, even the one in your home. For example, you may use a
modem and dial a local number to connect to an Internet Service Provider (ISP). At work, you may be part of a local area
network (LAN), but you most likely still connect to the Internet using an ISP that your company has contracted with. When you
connect to your ISP, you become part of their network. The ISP may then connect to a larger network and become part of their
network. The Internet is simply a network of networks.
Most large communications companies have their own dedicated backbones connecting various regions. In each region, the
company has a Point of Presence (POP). The POP is a place for local users to access the company's network, often through a
local phone number or dedicated line. The amazing thing here is that there is no overall controlling network. Instead, there are
several high-level networks connecting to each other through Network Access Points or NAPs.
All of these networks rely on NAPs, backbones and routers to talk to each other. What is incredible about this process is that a
message can leave one computer and travel halfway across the world through several different networks and arrive at another
computer in a fraction of a second!
The routers determine where to send information from one computer to another. Routers are specialized computers that send
your messages and those of every other Internet user speeding to their destinations along thousands of pathways. A router
has two separate, but related, jobs.
