Part F: Reading Comprehension

Direction: In this part of the test, you will read three passages. Each passage is
followed by some questions. Answer the questions by choosing the best choice
(1), (2), (3), or (4). Then mark the correct choice on your answer sheet.

Passage 1 :

Climbing Mount Everest has become a popular expedition for mountain climbers.
However, it is a dangerous undertaking. Climbing Everest requires a lot of experience
mountaineering elsewhere, as well as a certificate of good health, equipment, and a
trained Nepalese guide. The snow and ice on the mountain create deadly dangers like
avalanches, and there is only a limited climbing season due to bad weather conditions.
But perhaps the biggest danger is the altitude. Most climbers are not accustomed to the
high altitude and low oxygen levels and rely on bottled oxygen they bring along. This
is why the area above 8,000 meters (26,000 feet) elevation on Everest is called the
“death zone.” Climbers who spend long periods in this region can develop altitude
sickness and even brain swelling.
Mount Everest’s climbing industry has become controversial. As popularity of
the climb has increased, there have been more “traffic jams” as climbers spend too
much time in the death zone waiting for their chance to go to the summit. With more
people has also come more pollution up near the summit as climbers often discard
unwanted items all along the mountain. Additionally, the Sherpa people, a famous
indigenous group, have been exploited by climbers, and their traditional way of life
has been disrupted by foreign climbers. Sherpa guides are faced with some of the
highest death rates of any field of employment, for comparatively little pay. Most
disturbingly, because many climbers have died along the way, and their bodies are
impossible to retrieve, climbers must frequently travel past corpses as they make their
way up the mountain.

56- The underlined word “accustomed” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to

………………... .
1) adapted 2) situated 3) satisfied 4) surrounded
57- The underlined word “their” in paragraph 2 refers to ………………... .
1) Sherpa guides 2) climbers 3) Sherpa people 4) death rates
58- Why does the author mention the phrase “traffic jams” in paragraph 2?
1) To criticize the effect of technology on modern life
2) To help readers better understand a point mentioned in the same paragraph
3) To draw attention to an important problem now present in most modern cities
4) To highlight people’s lack of concern, taking rest in a particularly dangerous area

 9 561-A -

59- According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

1) The pollution near the Everest summit has increased because climbers frequently
throw unwanted items throughout the mountain.
2) Climbing Mount Everest is a difficult task, but it is a more or less safe undertaking.
3) The indigenous people living near Mount Everest try to prevent foreign
mountaineers from climbing the mountain.
4) The area above 8,000 meters on Mount Everest is known as the “death zone”
primarily because of its harsh and cold weather.
60- Which of the following words best describes the tone of the author in the passage?
1) Humorous 2) Indignant 3) Ironic 4) Objective

Passage 2 :

[1] Nearly two decades ago, Facebook exploded on college campuses as a site for
students to stay in touch. Then came Twitter, where people posted about what they had
for breakfast, and Instagram, where friends shared photos to keep up with one another.
Today, Instagram and Facebook feeds are full of ads and sponsored posts. And soon,
Twitter posts that gain the most visibility will come mostly from subscribers who pay,
for instance, for the exposure and other perks.
Social media is, in many ways, becoming less social. The kinds of posts where
people update friends and family about their lives have become harder to see over the
years as the biggest sites have become increasingly “corporatized.” [2] The change has
implications for large social networking companies and how people interact with one
another digitally. But it also raises questions about a core idea: the online platform. For
years, the notion of a platform—an all-in-one, public-facing site where people spent
most of their time—reigned supreme. [3] But as big social networks made connecting
people with brands a priority over connecting them with other people, some users have
started seeking community-oriented sites and apps devoted to specific hobbies and
issues.
“Platforms, as we knew them, have outlived their utility,” said Papacharissi, a
professor at the University of Illinois. The shift helps explain why some social networking
companies, which continue to have billions of users and pull in billions of dollars in
revenue, are now exploring new avenues of business. A case in point is Twitter, which has
been pushing people and brands to pay $8 to $1,000 a month to become subscribers. For
users, this means that instead of spending all their time on one or a few big social
networks, some are gravitating toward smaller, more focused sites. [4]

61- Which of the following techniques is used by the author in paragraph 1?

1) Quotation 2) Exemplification 3) Definition 4) Statistics

62- According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

1) Nowadays, a shift towards generating more revenue can be observed in the
priorities of big social networks.
2) A new spirit dominates social media networks as a result of the social and financial
problems affecting the society at large.
3) The idea of platform, still a key factor in the structure of social media, no longer
accomplishes its original function of generating revenue.
4) Social networking companies, which still have many users and billions of dollars in
revenue, are seeking to find new ways of making money to pay their debt.
63- According to paragraph 3, why are some social networking companies looking for new
ways of producing profit?
1) Because these companies seek to have billions of users in order to pull in billions of
dollars in revenue
2) Because academic authorities emphasized that platforms are no longer useful
3) Because they want to follow successful companies like Twitter
4) Because platforms no longer function as they once used to
64- Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
1) The Decline of Social Media Seals the Fate of Corporations
2) Social Media and Corporations: A Sad Common Fate
3) The Future of Social Media Is a Lot Less Social
4) Social Media: An Optimal Solution to an Old Problem
65- In which position marked by [1], [2], [3,] or [4], can the following sentence best be

Passage 3 :

I have just referred to the contrast occurring in Persian classical poetry where we find
an abstract tendency set against a cultivation of the senses. There is yet another
striking contrast which gives it a vitality all its own. I mean the contrast between form
and content. Persian poetry, while classical in form, is passionately romantic in
outlook and execution. In form, it is governed by a stringent system of rhyme and
rhythm patterns and pre-ordained poetic molds, refined over the years.
Within this frame, however, the poet enjoys an unparalleled freedom in execution
and arrangement of the content. In a single sonnet, e.g., he is at liberty to talk of the
cruel beauty of his beloved in the first line, satirize the bigoted ascetic in the second,
vent his nostalgic longing for his sweetheart in the third, invoke a metaphor to express
the transience of human life in the fourth, lament the success of his rivals in the fifth,
and so on, bouncing constantly from one idea to another. Even in Persian narrative
poetry, the poet often shows a Gothic taste for less relevant details and rejoices in
straying from the main theme to explore byways which fascinate him, much as an
artist spares no care when depicting a tree, a flower, a wall or a mountain, not
particularly relevant to the main theme of his work.
This divergence of ideas and seeming lack of subordination and control reaches
its climax in Persian lyrics, dubbed by some as “pearls strung at random.” This has
caused some less penetrating critics to diagnose a complete thematic disunity in
Persian poetry, but as A. J. Arberry has observed, they have missed a more subtle
unity, that of mood. Besides, delicate associations of ideas, images and verbal
expressions, a subconscious bond which is felt but not readily explained, frequently
make a smooth invisible bridge from one verse to another. Thus, the Persian lyric
displays a firm external unity through its formal pattern; a unity which may be likened
to that produced in a typical Persian carpet through its clearly defined border frame
and its well-constructed patterning. But at the same time a subtler and almost
imperceptible harmony runs through the apparently unconnected contents.

66- The underlined word “stringent” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to

………………... .
1) justified 2) rigorous 3) inevitable 4) reputable
67- All of the following terms are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT ………………... .
1) lyric beauty 2) formal pattern
3) Gothic taste 4) outlook and execution
68- According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
1) Both Persian lyrics and Persian narrative poetry in a way display divergence of
ideas.
2) The remarkable difference between form and content in Persian classical poetry
provides it with a certain vitality.
3) The divergence of thoughts, coupled with a seeming absence of subordination and
control, culminates in Persian lyrics.
4) The external unity identifiable in the Persian lyric is in a way influenced by that
found in Persian objects of art such as Persian carpet.

69- The passage provides sufficient information to answer which of the following questions?
1) In which Persian poetic form the contrast between an inclination towards
abstraction and nurturing of sensory experiences is most prominent?
2) Why have some critics suggested that Persian lyrics exhibit a lack of thematic
coherence?
3) A typical Persian sonnet is composed of how many lines?
4) What is the Persian poetics form par excellence?
70- Which of the following statements can best be inferred based on the passage?
1) The fact that different subjects are addressed within the same poem is exclusive to
Persian lyrics.
2) In literary matters, differences of opinion among literary critics result more often
than not from differences in literary taste.
3) While the phrase “pearls strung at random” draws attention to the beauty of Persian
lyrics, the author of the passage probably does not consider it a precise designation.
4) The original Persian rhythm patterns as well as the predetermined poetic molds
have remained intact throughout the years up until now.
