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 following questions from 51 to 60.
"The economic history of the United States", one scholar has written, "is the history of the rise and
development of the capitalistic system". The colonists of the eighteenth century pushed forward what
those of the seventeenth century have begun: the expansion and elaboration of an economy born in the
great age of capitalist expansion.
Our excellent natural resources paved the way for the development of abundant capital to increase
our growth. Capital includes the tools – such as: machines, vehicles, and buildings – that makes the
outputs of labor and resources more valuable. But it also includes the funds necessary to buy those tools.
If a society had to consume everything it produced just to stay alive, nothing could be put aside to
increase future productions. But if a farmer can grow more corn than his family needs to eat, he can use

the surplus as seed to increase the next crop, or to feed workers who build tractors. This process of capital
accumulation was aided in the American economy by our cultural heritage. Saving played an important
role in the European tradition. It contributed to American’s motivation to put something aside today for
the tools to buy tomorrow.
The great bulk of the accumulated wealth of America, as distinguished from what was consumed,
was derived either directly or indirectly from trade. Though some manufacturing existed, its role in the
accumulation of capital was negligible. A merchant class of opulent proportions was already visible in
the seaboard cities, its wealth as the obvious consequence of shrewd and resourceful management of the
carrying trade. Even the rich planters of tidewater Virginia and the rice coast of South Carolina finally
depended for their genteel way of life upon the ships and merchants who sold their tobacco and rice in the
markets of Europe. As colonial production rose and trade expanded, a business community emerged in
the colonies, linking the provinces by lines of trade and identity of interest.

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 following questions from 66 to 75.
Anteaters are so named because they eat white termites. Few people realize that anteaters have no
teeth. Their Jawbones protrude and are almost entirely covered with skin, making their oral cavities very
small. An anteater's tongue, covered with adhesive saliva to hold termites on touch, can be extended a
long way beyond its mouth. Then the animal draws its back and swallows. Although some termites build
sizable mud nests, the anteater's powerful front paws have lengthy claws that can tear open the termites'
nests, either on the ground or in trees.
The claws on anteaters' front legs are so long that the animals walk on the outer edges of their feet
rather than on the soles. The longest claw folds back into a skin pouch in the sole of the foot. The solitary
Tamadua anteater utilizes its prehensile tail as an arm to grasp a tree branch and lift itself as high as the
tree crown. This physical characteristic enables the Tamadua anteaters to live and hunt in trees. The silky

anteater can also live in trees and sleeps curled up on a branch, to which it anchors itself by its tail and
hind feet. Although the animals rarely attack, when disturbed they rear up on their hind legs and draw


their forefeet alongside their head to strike an enemy with their claws or to squeeze it in their forearms.
With only one offspring at a time, these mamals are extremely protective of their young, which ride on
their mother's back. Little is known about anteaters' habitats and social organization.
Question 66: According to the passage, anteaters ________ .
A. have no nasal passages

B. cannot lick

C. cannot open their mouth

D. cannot chew

Question 67: What do anteaters do to grasp termites?
A. They inhale and create pressure on their tongues.
B. They expand their mouth openings.
C. They use the sticky substance on their tongues.
D. They apply force in their lateral grip.
