The technology of the North American colonies did not differ strikingly from that of Europe, but in one respect, the colonists enjoyed a great advantage. Especially by comparison with Britain, Americans had a wonderfully plentiful supply of wood.
The first colonists did not, as many people imagine, find an entire continent covered by a climax forest. Even along the Atlantic seaboard, the forest was broken at many points. Nevertheless, all sorts of fine trees abounded, and through the early colonial period, those who pushed westward encountered new forests. By the end of the colonial era, the price of wood had risen slightly in eastern cities, but wood was still extremely abundant.
The availability of wood brought advantages that have seldom been appreciated. Wood was a foundation of the economy. Houses and all manner of buildings were made of wood to a degree unknown in Britain. Secondly, wood was used as fuel for heating and cooking. Thirdly, it was used as the source of important industrial compounds, such as potash, an industrial alkali; charcoal, a component of gunpowder; and tannic acid, used for tanning leather.
The supply of wood conferred advantages but had some negative aspects as well. Iron at that time was produced by heating iron ore with charcoal. Because Britain was so stripped of trees, she was unable to exploit her rich iron mines. But the American colonies had both iron ore and wood; iron production was encouraged and became successful. However, when Britain developed coke smelting, the Colonies did not follow suit because they had plenty of wood and besides, charcoal iron was stronger than coke iron. Coke smelting led to technologic innovations and was linked to the emergence of the Industrial Revolution. In the early nineteenth century, the former colonies lagged behind Britain in industrial development because their supply of wood led them to cling to charcoal iron.
Question 36: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The advantages of using wood in the colonies.	B. The effects of an abundance of wood on the colonies.
C. The roots of the Industrial Revolution.	D. The difference between charcoal iron and coke iron.
Question 37: The word "strikingly" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to_____________.
A. realistically	B. dramatically	C. completely	D. immediately
Question 38: Which of the following is a common assumption about the forests of North America during the colonial period?
A. They contained only a few types of trees.	B. They existed only along the Atlantic seaboard.
C. They had little or no economic value.	D. They covered the entire continent.
Question 39: According to the passage, by the end of the colonial period, the price of wood in eastern cities ____________.
A. rose quickly because wood was becoming so scarce
B. was much higher than it was in Britain
C. was slightly higher than in previous years
D. decreased rapidly because of lower demand for wood
Question 40: According to the passage, why was the use of coke smelting advantageous?
A. It led to advances in technology.
B. It was less expensive than wood smelting.
C. It produced a stronger type of iron than wood smelting.
D. It stimulated the demand for wood.
Question 41: Why does the author mention "gunpowder" in paragraph 3?
A. To illustrate the negative aspects of some industrial processes
B. To give an example of a product made with wood compounds
C. To remind readers that the colonial era ended in warfare.
D. To suggest that wood was not the only important product of the colonies.
Question 42: The phrase "follow suit" in paragraph 4 means 	.
A. do the same thing	B. make an attempt	C. have the opportunity	D. take a risk
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 43 to 50.
There are desert plants which survive the dry season in the form of inactive seeds. There are also desert insects which survive as inactive larvae. In addition, difficult as it is to believe, there are desert fish which can survive through years of drought in the form of inactive eggs. These are the shrimps that live in the Mojave Desert, an intensely dry region in the south-west of the United States where shade temperatures of over 50C are often recorded.
The eggs of the Mojave shrimps are the size and have the appearance of grains of sand. When sufficient spring rain falls to form a lake, once every two to five years, these eggs hatch. Then the water is soon filled with millions of tiny shrimps about a millimetre long which feed on tiny plant and animal organisms which also grow in the temporary desert lake. Within a week, the shrimps grow from their original 1 millimeter to a length of about 1.5 centimetres.
Throughout the time that the shrimps are rapidly maturing, the water in the lake equally rapidly evaporates. Therefore, for the shrimps it is a race against time. By the twelfth day, however, when they are about 3 centimetre long, hundreds of tiny eggs form on the underbodies of the females. Usually by this time, all that remains of the lake is a large, muddy patch of wet soil. On the thirteenth day and the next, during the final hours of their brief lives, the shrimps lay their eggs in the mud. Then, having ensured that their species will survive, the shrimps die as the last of the water evaporates.
If sufficient rain falls the next year to form another lake, the eggs hatch, and once again the shrimps pass rapidly through their cycle of growth, adulthood, egg-laying, and death. Some years there is insufficient rain to form a lake: in this case, the eggs will remain dormant for another year, or even longer if necessary. Very, very occasionally, perhaps twice in a hundred years, sufficient rain falls to form a deep lake that lasts a month or more. In this case, the species passes through two cycles of growth, egg-laying, and death. Thus, on such occasions, the species multiplies considerably, which further ensures its survival.
Question 43: Which is the best title for this passage?
A. Life in the Mojave Desert	B. Life Cycle of the Mojave Shrimps
C. The Survival of Desert Insects	D. Water and Life in the Desert
Question 44: The word "these" in the first paragraph refers to__________.

Question 45: According to the passage, the eggs originate___________.
A. in the sand	B. on the female	C. in the mud	D. in the lakes
Question 46: By saying "for the shrimps it is a race against time" the author means____________.
A. they have to swim fast to avoid danger in the rapidly evaporating lake
B. they have to swim fast to catch the animal organisms on which they survive
C. they have to multiply as many as possible within thirteen days
D. they have to complete their life cycle within a short span of time permitted by the environment
Question 47: The word "dormant" in the fourth paragraph most probably means___________.
A. inactive	B. strong	C. dead	D. empty
Question 48: According to the passage, approximately how long does a shrimp live?
A. about a week	B. about 13 days	C. about a month	D. not given
Question 49: What is unusual about the Mojave Shrimps?
A. Their eggs can survive in an intensively dry region
B. Their lives are very brief.
C. They feed on plant and animal organisms.
D. They lay their eggs in the mud only.
Question 50: It may be inferred from the passage that _________________,
A. appearance and size are most important for life to survive in the desert
B. a species must be able to multiply quickly in order to survive
C. for some species one life cycle in a year is enough to survive the desert drought
D. some species develop a unique life pattern to survive in extremely harsh conditions
