Part II Reading Comprehension
Direction:
There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five question, for each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET.
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
In early days no medical college took a woman student. Elizabeth Blackwell, however, was determined to become a doctor. The young American wrote again and again to a number of medical colleges, asking if she could be enrolled but each time the answer was NO.
Then one day, to her surprise, she got a letter from the dean of a college in Geneva, which said YES.
At first Geneva College, like the other colleges, was not willing to enroll Liza. But later the important people of that college learned that Liza's application had the support of a famous doctor, and they were afraid to offend that man.
So the dean decided to play a trick by turning the matter over to the student's general meeting of the college, thinking that the students would be the last to agree to take Liza.
When the boy students met, most students took no interest in the matter. Of the rest, some considered the young American's idea interesting and some thought by having Liza they would be proud of their college training the world's first woman doctor. Very soon the students all agreed to accept Elizabeth.
The dean of Geneva College was of course very sorry to learn this, but seeing that he could do nothing to keep Elizabeth out, he gave in.

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
Some policemen in New York City don't look like policemen. They are part of a special anti-crime squad. They help the regular police force in a clever way. The squad has 200 men, two make-up artists and a hair-dresser.
Seven days a week these policemen go out to work--but New Yorkers probably don't notice them in the streets. Every morning they leave the squad offices, after a few minutes with the hair dresser and make-up artists. They go into the streets as hippies, businessmen, blind men, postmen, women, and workmen. Without police uniforms they can move about the city and watch people very easily. They watch carefully, and talk to people--sometimes to criminals Then they give information to the police.
These people's job is very dangerous. Criminals are afraid of policemen with guns. But they are not afraid of "an ordinary person". So criminals often attack these special policemen.

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:
Every reader of this passage must spend the whole of his waking life looking at things. Looking, like breathing, is natural, we do it without noticing it. Looking is passive--but seeing is active. Once you start seeing things you really begin to wake up. People who see things which others have only looked at, and draw conclusions from what they see, can add to man's knowledge and help progress.
Someone recently discovered a place where metal had been worked continuously longer than anywhere else in England. He 'saw' a wall in the Forest of Dean. Thousands of people must have looked at it without really seeing it, but this man noticed that among the usual stones of that place were bits and pieces of a different color, they also felt different to the hand. A closer sight showed that these pieces had been left behind in the fires of ancient peoples who had melted rocks to get metals. Looking around, he found more and more information, until the history of what men had done at that place over tens of centuries was known.
