Passage 1
A rapid means of long-distance transportation became a necessity for the United States as settlement spread ever farther westward. The early trains were impractical curiosities, and for a long time the railroad companies met with troublesome mechanical problems. The most serious ones were the construction of rails able to bear the load, and the development of a safe, effective stopping system. Once these were solved, the railroad was established as the best means of land transportation. By 1860 there were thousands of miles of rails crossing the eastern mountains and reaching westward to the Mississippi. There were also regional southern and western lines.
The high point in railroad building came with the construction of the first transcontinental system. In 1862 Congress authorized two railroad companies to build lines from Nebraska westward and from California eastward to a meeting point, so as to complete a transcontinental crossing linking the Atlantic with the Pacific. The Government helped the railroads generously with money and land. Actual work on this project began four years later. The Central Pacific Company, starting from California, used Chinese labor, while the Union Pacific employed crews of Irish labourers. The two groups worked at great speed, each trying to cover a greater distance than the other. In 1869 they met at a place called Promontory in what is now the State of Utah. Many visitors came there for the great occasion. There were joyous celebrations all over the country, with parades and the ringing of church bells to honor the great achievement.
The railroad was very important in encouraging westward movement. It also helped build up industry and farming by moving raw materials and by distributing products rapidly to distant markets. In linking towns and people to one another it helped unify the United States.
56. The major problems with America’s railroad system in the mid-19th century lay in ______.
A. poor quality rails and unreliable stopping systems
B. lack of financial support for development
C. limited railroad lines
D. lack of a transcontinental railroad
57. The building of the first transcontinental system ______.
A. brought about a rapid growth of industry and farming in the west
B. attracted many visitors to the construction sites
C. attracted laborers from Europe
D. encouraged people to travel all over the country
58. The construction of the transcontinental railroad took ______.
A. 9 years B. 4 years
C. 7 years D. 3 years
59. What most likely made people think about a transcontinental railroad?
A. The possibility of government support for such a task.
B. The need to explore Utah.
C. The need to connect the east coast with the west.
D. The need to develop the railroad industry in the west.
60. The best title for this passage would be ______.
A. Settlements Spread Westward
B. The Coast-to-Coast Railroad: A Vital Link
C. American Railroad History
D. The Importance of Railroads in the American Economy
Passage 2
Until recently daydreaming was viewed as a waste of time. Or it was considered an unhealthy escape from real life and its duties. But now some people are taking a fresh look at it. And it may be that more people are suffering from a lack of daydreaming than are suffering from too much of it.
It now appears that a person’s self-control and self-direction may suffer if he or she does no daydreaming at all. Such a person may become poor to deal with the pressures of daily life.
Dr. Joan T. Freyberg has concluded that daydreaming contributes to intellectual growth and also improves concentration attention span and the ability to get along with others. Another researcher said that daydreaming seemed to produce improved self-control and creative ability.
But that’s only part of the story. The most remarkable thing about daydreaming may be its usefulness in shaping our future lives as we want them to be. Industrialist Henry J. Kaiser believed that much of his success was due to the positive use of daydreaming. He maintained that “you can imagine your future.” Florence Nightingale dreamed of becoming a nurse. The young Thomas Edison pictured himself as an inventor. For these notable achievers, it appears that their daydreams came true.
Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick believed that the way we picture ourselves is often the way we turn out. He offered this advice, “Hold a picture of yourself in your mind, and you will be drawn towards it. Picture yourself vividly as defeated, and that alone will make victory impossible. Picture yourself as winning, and that will contribute immeasurably to success. Do not picture yourself as anything, and you will drift.”
61. If one does not daydream at all, he may ______.
A. have no trouble concentrating
B. be better self-controlled
C. improve his creative abilities
D. not be mentally prepared for the strains of daily life
62. The author is more worried about people’s ______.
A. imagined adventures B. lack of daydreaming
C. having too much of daydreaming D. imagination of the future
63. What Henry Kaiser knew as the positive use of daydreaming is ______.
A. to imagine yourself to be a nurse or an inventor
B. to shape your future the way you want it to be
C. to do more daydreaming
D. to get along with others
64. According to Harry Emerson, by imagining success we may ______.
A. learn to be happy with failure B. overcome most health problems
C. achieve success D. save a lot of work
65. The word “drawn” in the last paragraph means ______.
A. sketched B. brought
C. carried D. attracted
