Questions 1-10 refer to the following passage

Awarded the Nobel prize for physics in 1918, German physics Max Planck is best
remembered as the originator of the quantum theory. His work helped user in a new
era in theoretical physics and revolutionized the scientific community’s
understanding of atomic and sub-atomic processes.

Planck introduce an idea that led to the quantum theory, which became the
foundation of twentieth century physics. In December 1900, Plnck worked out an
equation that described the distribution of radiation accurately over the range of low
to high frequencies. He had developed a theory which depended on a model of
matter that seemed very strange at the time. The model required the emission of
electromagnetic radiation in small chunks or particles. These particles were later
called quantum. The energy associated with each quantum is measured by
multiplying the frequency of the radiation, v, by a universal constant, h. Thus, energy,
or E, equals h v. The constant, h, is known as Planck’s constant. It is now
recognized as one of the fundamental constant of the world.

Planck announced his finding in 1900, but it was years before the full consequences
of his revolutionary quantum theory were recognized. Throughout his life, Planck
made significant contributions to optics, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics,
physical chemistry, and other fields. In 1930, He was elected president of the Kaiser
Wilhelm society, which was renamed the Max II. Though deeply opposed to the
fascist regime of Adolf Hitler, Planck remained in Germany throughout the war. He
died in Gottingen on October 4, 1947.

Question 11-22

Human have struggled against weeds since

the beginnings of agriculture. Marring our
gardens is one of the milder effects of weeds—
any plants that thrive where they are unwanted.
They clog spread waterways, destroy wildlife
(line)
habitats, and impede farming. Their spread
(5) eliminates grazing areas and accounts for one-
third of all crop loss. They compete for sunlight,
nutrients, and water with useful plants.
The global need for weed control has been
answered mainly by the chemical industry. Its
herbicides are effective and sometimes
necessary, but some pose serious problems,
(10) particularly if misused. Toxic compounds
threaten animal and public health when they
accumulate in food plants, ground water, and
drinking water. They also harm workers who
apply them.
In recent years, the chemical industry has
introduced several herbicides that are more
(15)
ecologically sound. Yet new chemicals alone
cannot solve the world’s weed problems. Hence,
scientists are exploring the innate weed-killing

powers of living organisms, primarily insects and

microorganisms.
The biological agents now in use are
harmless to humans and are environmentally
benign. They can be chosen for their ability to
attack selected targets and leave crops and
other plants untouched. In contrast, some of
the most effective chemicals kill virtually all the
plants they come in contact with, sparing only
those that are naturally resistant or have been
genetically modified for resistance.
Furthermore, a number of biological agents
can be administered only once, after which no
added applications are needed. Chemicals
typically must be used several times per
growing season.
11.With what topic does this passage primarily deal?
______ (A) The importance of the chemical industry.

West Side Story is a musical tragedy

based on William Shakespeare’s play Romeo
and Juliet. It is set in the early 1950’s, when
gang warfare in big cities led to injuries and
even death. West Side Story transforms the
(line) Montagues and Capulets of Shakespeare’s
(5) play into feuding street gangs, the Jets and
the Sharks, one consisting of newly arrived
Puerto Ricans and the other of native-born
New Yorkers. The plot, tightly choreographed
by Jerome Robbins, tells the story of the love
of Maria, a Puerto Rican, for Tony, who, while
attempting to stop a street fight, kills Maria’s
brother and is ultimately killed himself.
Leonard Bernstein’s musical score is brilliant,
and Stephen Sondheim, making his
Broadway debut, reveals a remarkable talent
writing lyrics. Among the hit songs of the play
are “Tonight,” “Maria,” “America,” and “I feel
pretty”.

The play opened on September 26, 1957. It

ran for 734 performances, toured for 10 months,
and then returned to New York for an additional
246 performances. A film version was released in
1961, and successful New York revival opened in
1980.

About 8.000 people looked over the horseless

carriages on November 3. 1900, the opening day of
the New York Auto Show, and the first opportunity for
the automobile industry to show off its wares to a
sizable audience.
By happenstance, the number of people at the
show equaled the entire car population at that time.
At that time, 10 million bicycles and an unknown
number of horse-and-buggles provided the prime
means of transportation. Only about 4.000 cars were
assembled in the United States in 1900, and only a
quarter of those were gasoline powered. (The rest
ran on steam or electricity.)
After viewing the cars made by 32 car makers, the
show’s audience favored electric because they were
quiet. The risk of boiler explosion turned people away
from steamers, and the gasoline powered cars
produced smelly fumes. The risk of a boiler explosion
turned people away from steamers. The Duryea
Motor Wagon Company, which launched the
American auto industry in 1892, offered an additive
designed to mask the smell of the naphtha that it
burned.
The prices were not that different from different
from what they are today. Most cost between $800
and $1,500, or roughly $11,000 to $18,500 in today’s
prices. Many of the 1900 models were cumbersome
—the Gasmobile, the Franklin, and the Orient, for
example, steered with tillers like boats rather than
with steering wheels.
The black-tie audience at the show viewed the
display more as social outing than as the
