Jazz has been called “the art of expression set to music”, and “America’s great
contribution to music”. It has functioned as popular art and enjoyed periods of fairly
widespread public response, in the “jazz age” of the 1920s, in the “swing era” of the late
1930s and in the peak popularity of modern jazz in the late 1950s. The standard legend
about Jazz is that it originated around the end of the 19th century in New Orleans and
moved up the Mississippi River to Memphis, St. Louis, and finally to Chicago. It welded
together the elements of Ragtime, marching band music, and the Blues. However, the
influences of what led to those early sounds goes back to tribal African drum beats and
European musical structures. Buddy Bolden, a New Orleans barber and cornet player, is
generally considered to have been the first real Jazz musician, around 1891.
What made Jazz significantly different from the other earlier forms of music was
the use of improvisation. Jazz displayed a break from traditional music where composers
wrote an entire piece of music on paper, leaving the musicians to break their backs
playing exactly what was written on the score. In a Jazz piece, however, the song is
simply a starting point, or sort of skeletal guide for the Jazz musicians to improvise
around. Actually, many of the early Jazz musicians were bad sight readers and some
couldn’t even read music at all. Generally speaking, these early musicians couldn’t make
very much money and were stuck working menial jobs to make a living. The second wave
of New Orleans Jazz musicians included such memorable players as Joe Oliver, Kid Ory,
and Jelly Roll Morton. These men formed small bands and took the music of earlier
musicians, improved its complexity, and gained greater success. This music is known as
“hot Jazz” due to the enormously fast speeds and rhythmic drive.
A young cornet player by the name of Louis Armstrong was discovered by Joe
Oliver in New Orleans. He soon grew up to become one of the greatest and most
successful musicians of all time, and later one of the biggest stars in the world. The impact
of Armstrong and other talented early Jazz musicians changed the way we look at music.

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 that follow
Legend has it that sometime toward the end of the Civil War (1861-1865) a government train
carrying oxen traveling through the northern plains of eastern Wyoming was caught in a snowstorm and had
to be abandoned. The driver returned the next spring to see what had become of his cargo. Instead of the
skeletons he had expected to find, he saw his oxen, living, fat, and healthy. How had they survived?
The answer lay in a resource that unknowing Americans lands trampled underfoot in their haste to
cross the “Great American Desert” to reach lands that sometimes proved barren. In the eastern parts of the
United States, the preferred grass for forage was a cultivated plant. It grew well with enough rain, then when
cut and stored it would cure and become nourishing hay for winter feed. But in the dry grazing lands of the
West that familiar bluejoint grass was often killed by drought. To raise cattle out there seemed risky or even
hopeless. Who could imagine a fairy-tale grass that required no rain and somehow made it possible for cattle
to feed themselves all winter? But the surprising western wild grasses did just that. They had
wonderfully convenient features that made them superior to the cultivated eastern grasses. Variously known
as buffalo grass, grama grass, or mesquite grass, not only were they immune to drought; but they were
actually preserved by the lack of summer and autumn rains. They were not juicy like the cultivated eastern
grasses, but had short, hard stems. And they did not need to be cured in a barn, but dried right where they
grew on the ground. When they dried in this way, they remained naturally sweet and nourishing through the
winter. Cattle left outdoors to fend for themselves thrived on this hay. And the cattle themselves helped plant
the fresh grass year after year for they trampled the natural seeds firmly into the soil to be watered by the
melting snows of winter and the occasional rains of spring. The dry summer air cured them much as storing
in a barn cured the cultivated grasses.

A. A type of wild vegetation B. Western migration after Civil War
C. The raising of cattle D. The climate of the Western United States

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 that follow
Legend has it that sometime toward the end of the Civil War (1861-1865) a government train
carrying oxen traveling through the northern plains of eastern Wyoming was caught in a snowstorm and had
to be abandoned. The driver returned the next spring to see what had become of his cargo. Instead of the
skeletons he had expected to find, he saw his oxen, living, fat, and healthy. How had they survived?
The answer lay in a resource that unknowing Americans lands trampled underfoot in their haste to
cross the “Great American Desert” to reach lands that sometimes proved barren. In the eastern parts of the
United States, the preferred grass for forage was a cultivated plant. It grew well with enough rain, then when
cut and stored it would cure and become nourishing hay for winter feed. But in the dry grazing lands of the
West that familiar bluejoint grass was often killed by drought. To raise cattle out there seemed risky or even
hopeless. Who could imagine a fairy-tale grass that required no rain and somehow made it possible for cattle
to feed themselves all winter? But the surprising western wild grasses did just that. They had
wonderfully convenient features that made them superior to the cultivated eastern grasses. Variously known
14
as buffalo grass, grama grass, or mesquite grass, not only were they immune to drought; but they were
actually preserved by the lack of summer and autumn rains. They were not juicy like the cultivated eastern
grasses, but had short, hard stems. And they did not need to be cured in a barn, but dried right where they
grew on the ground. When they dried in this way, they remained naturally sweet and nourishing through the
winter. Cattle left outdoors to fend for themselves thrived on this hay. And the cattle themselves helped plant
the fresh grass year after year for they trampled the natural seeds firmly into the soil to be watered by the
melting snows of winter and the occasional rains of spring. The dry summer air cured them much as storing
in a barn cured the cultivated grasses.
66. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. A type of wild vegetation B. Western migration after Civil War
C. The raising of cattle D. The climate of the Western United States
67. What can be inferred by the phrase “Legend has it” in line 1?

Jazz has been called “the art of expression set to music”, and “America’s great
contribution to music”. It has functioned as popular art and enjoyed periods of fairly
widespread public response, in the “jazz age” of the 1920s, in the “swing era” of the late
1930s and in the peak popularity of modern jazz in the late 1950s. The standard legend
about Jazz is that it originated around the end of the 19th century in New Orleans and
moved up the Mississippi River to Memphis, St. Louis, and finally to Chicago. It welded
together the elements of Ragtime, marching band music, and the Blues. However, the
influences of what led to those early sounds goes back to tribal African drum beats and
European musical structures. Buddy Bolden, a New Orleans barber and cornet player, is
generally considered to have been the first real Jazz musician, around 1891.
What made Jazz significantly different from the other earlier forms of music was the
use of improvisation. Jazz displayed a break from traditional music where composers wrote
19
(15)
(20)
(25)
an entire piece of music on paper, leaving the musicians to break their backs playing
exactly what was written on the score. In a Jazz piece, however, the song is simply a
starting point, or sort of skeletal guide for the Jazz musicians to improvise around.
Actually, many of the early Jazz musicians were bad sight readers and some couldn’t even
read music at all. Generally speaking, these early musicians couldn’t make very much
money and were stuck working menial jobs to make a living. The second wave of New
Orleans Jazz musicians included such memorable players as Joe Oliver, Kid Ory, and Jelly
Roll Morton. These men formed small bands and took the music of earlier musicians,
improved its complexity, and gained greater success. This music is known as “hot Jazz”
due to the enormously fast speeds and rhythmic drive.
A young cornet player by the name of Louis Armstrong was discovered by Joe Oliver
in New Orleans. He soon grew up to become one of the greatest and most successful
musicians of all time, and later one of the biggest stars in the world. The impact of
Armstrong and other talented early Jazz musicians changed the way we look at music.
36. The Passage answers which of the following questions?
A. Why did Ragtime, marching band music, and the Blues lose popularity after about 1900?

C. What has been the greatest contribution of cornet players to music in the twentieth century?

Jazz has been called “the art of expression set to music”, and “America’s great
contribution to music”. It has functioned as popular art and enjoyed periods of fairly
widespread public response, in the “jazz age” of the 1920s, in the “swing era” of the late
1930s and in the peak popularity of modern jazz in the late 1950s. The standard legend
about Jazz is that it originated around the end of the 19th century in New Orleans and
moved up the Mississippi River to Memphis, St. Louis, and finally to Chicago. It welded
together the elements of Ragtime, marching band music, and the Blues. However, the
influences of what led to those early sounds goes back to tribal African drum beats and
European musical structures. Buddy Bolden, a New Orleans barber and cornet player, is
generally considered to have been the first real Jazz musician, around 1891.
What made Jazz significantly different from the other earlier forms of music was the
use of improvisation. Jazz displayed a break from traditional music where composers wrote
an entire piece of music on paper, leaving the musicians to break their backs playing
exactly what was written on the score. In a Jazz piece, however, the song is simply a
starting point, or sort of skeletal guide for the Jazz musicians to improvise around.
Actually, many of the early Jazz musicians were bad sight readers and some couldn’t even
read music at all. Generally speaking, these early musicians couldn’t make very much
money and were stuck working menial jobs to make a living. The second wave of New
Orleans Jazz musicians included such memorable players as Joe Oliver, Kid Ory, and Jelly
Roll Morton. These men formed small bands and took the music of earlier musicians,
improved its complexity, and gained greater success. This music is known as “hot Jazz”
due to the enormously fast speeds and rhythmic drive.
A young cornet player by the name of Louis Armstrong was discovered by Joe Oliver
in New Orleans. He soon grew up to become one of the greatest and most successful
musicians of all time, and later one of the biggest stars in the world. The impact of
Armstrong and other talented early Jazz musicians changed the way we look at music.

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 that follow
Legend has it that sometime toward the end of the Civil War (1861-1865) a government train
carrying oxen traveling through the northern plains of eastern Wyoming was caught in a snowstorm and had
to be abandoned. The driver returned the next spring to see what had become of his cargo. Instead of the
skeletons he had expected to find, he saw his oxen, living, fat, and healthy. How had they survived?
The answer lay in a resource that unknowing Americans lands trampled underfoot in their haste to
cross the “Great American Desert” to reach lands that sometimes proved barren. In the eastern parts of the
United States, the preferred grass for forage was a cultivated plant. It grew well with enough rain, then when
cut and stored it would cure and become nourishing hay for winter feed. But in the dry grazing lands of the
West that familiar bluejoint grass was often killed by drought. To raise cattle out there seemed risky or even
hopeless. Who could imagine a fairy-tale grass that required no rain and somehow made it possible for cattle
to feed themselves all winter? But the surprising western wild grasses did just that. They had
wonderfully convenient features that made them superior to the cultivated eastern grasses. Variously known
as buffalo grass, grama grass, or mesquite grass, not only were they immune to drought; but they were
actually preserved by the lack of summer and autumn rains. They were not juicy like the cultivated eastern
grasses, but had short, hard stems. And they did not need to be cured in a barn, but dried right where they
grew on the ground. When they dried in this way, they remained naturally sweet and nourishing through the
winter. Cattle left outdoors to fend for themselves thrived on this hay. And the cattle themselves helped plant
the fresh grass year after year for they trampled the natural seeds firmly into the soil to be watered by the
melting snows of winter and the occasional rains of spring. The dry summer air cured them much as storing
in a barn cured the cultivated grasses.
71. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. A type of wild vegetation B. Western migration after Civil War
C. The raising of cattle D. The climate of the Western United States
72. What can be inferred by the phrase “Legend has it” in line 1?

C. The driver of the train invented the story.
D. The story of the train may not be completed factual.
73. The word “they” in line 5 refers to _____.
A. plains B. skeletons C. Americans D. oxen
74. What can be inferred about the “Great American Desert” mentioned in line 7?
A. Many had settled there by the 1860’s.
B. It was not originally assumed to be a fertile area.
C. It was not discovered until the late 1800’s.
D. It was a popular place to raise cattle before the Civil War.
75. The word “barren” in line 8 is closed in meaning to _____.
A. lonely B. uncomfortable C. dangerous D. infertile
76. The word “preferred” in line 8 is closed in meaning to _____.

Numerous 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 that follow Line (5) (10) (15) (20) (25) Jazz has been called “the art of expression set to music”, and “America’s great contribution to music”. It has functioned as popular art and enjoyed periods of fairly widespread public response, in the “jazz age” of the 1920s, in the “swing era” of the late 1930s and in the peak popularity of modern jazz in the late 1950s. The standard legend about Jazz is that it originated around the end of the 19th century in New Orleans and moved up the Mississippi River to Memphis, St. Louis, and finally to Chicago. It welded together the elements of Ragtime, marching band music, and the Blues. However, the influences of what led to those early sounds goes back to tribal African drum beats and European musical structures. Buddy Bolden, a New Orleans barber and cornet player, is generally considered to have been the first real Jazz musician, around 1891. What made Jazz significantly different from the other earlier forms of music was the use of improvisation. Jazz displayed a break from traditional music where composers wrote an entire piece of music on paper, leaving the musicians to break their backs playing exactly what was written on the score. In a Jazz piece, however, the song is simply a starting point, or sort of skeletal guide for the Jazz musicians to improvise around. Actually, many of the early Jazz musicians were bad sight readers and some couldn’t even read music at all. Generally speaking, these early musicians couldn’t make very much money and were stuck working menial jobs to make a living. The second wave of New Orleans Jazz musicians included such memorable players as Joe Oliver, Kid Ory, and Jelly Roll Morton. These men formed small bands and took the music of earlier musicians, improved its complexity, and gained greater success. This music is known as “hot Jazz” due to the enormously fast speeds and rhythmic drive. A young cornet player by the name of Louis Armstrong was discovered by Joe Oliver in New Orleans. He soon grew up to become one of the greatest and most successful musicians of all time, and later one of the biggest stars in the world. The impact of Armstrong and other talented early Jazz musicians changed the way we look at music. 2

  • 7. 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 that follow Legend has it that sometime toward the end of the Civil War (1861-1865) a government train carrying oxen traveling through the northern plains of eastern Wyoming was caught in a snowstorm and had to be abandoned. The driver returned the next spring to see what had become of his cargo. Instead of the skeletons he had expected to find, he saw his oxen, living, fat, and healthy. How had they survived? The answer lay in a resource that unknowing Americans lands trampled underfoot in their haste to cross the “Great American Desert” to reach lands that sometimes proved barren. In the eastern parts of the United States, the preferred grass for forage was a cultivated plant. It grew well with enough rain, then when cut and stored it would cure and become nourishing hay for winter feed. But in the dry grazing lands of the West that familiar bluejoint grass was often killed by drought. To raise cattle out there seemed risky or even hopeless. Who could imagine a fairy-tale grass that required no rain and somehow made it possible for cattle to feed themselves all winter? But the surprising western wild grasses did just that. They had wonderfully convenient features that made them superior to the cultivated eastern grasses. Variously known as buffalo grass, grama grass, or mesquite grass, not only were they immune to drought; but they were actually preserved by the lack of summer and autumn rains. They were not juicy like the cultivated eastern grasses, but had short, hard stems. And they did not need to be cured in a barn, but dried right where they grew on the ground. When they dried in this way, they remained naturally sweet and nourishing through the winter. Cattle left outdoors to fend for themselves thrived on this hay. And the cattle themselves helped plant the fresh grass year after year for they trampled the natural seeds firmly into the soil to be watered by the melting snows of winter and the occasional rains of spring. The dry summer air cured them much as storing in a barn cured the cultivated grasses. 66. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. A type of wild vegetation B. Western migration after Civil War C. The raising of cattle D. The climate of the Western United States 67. What can be inferred by the phrase “Legend has it” in line 1? A. Most history book include the story of the train. B.

Many had settled there by the 1860’s. B. It was not originally assumed to be a fertile area. C. It was a popular place to raise cattle before the Civil War. D.

  • 11. Line (5) (10) (15) (20) (25) widespread public response, in the “jazz age” of the 1920s, in the “swing era” of the late 1930s and in the peak popularity of modern jazz in the late 1950s. The standard legend about Jazz is that it originated around the end of the 19th century in New Orleans and moved up the Mississippi River to Memphis, St. Louis, and finally to Chicago. It welded together the elements of Ragtime, marching band music, and the Blues. However, the influences of what led to those early sounds goes back to tribal African drum beats and European musical structures. Buddy Bolden, a New Orleans barber and cornet player, is generally considered to have been the first real Jazz musician, around 1891. What made Jazz significantly different from the other earlier forms of music was the use of improvisation. Jazz displayed a break from traditional music where composers wrote an entire piece of music on paper, leaving the musicians to break their backs playing exactly what was written on the score. In a Jazz piece, however, the song is simply a starting point, or sort of skeletal guide for the Jazz musicians to improvise around. Actually, many of the early Jazz musicians were bad sight readers and some couldn’t even read music at all. Generally speaking, these early musicians couldn’t make very much money and were stuck working menial jobs to make a living. The second wave of New Orleans Jazz musicians included such memorable players as Joe Oliver, Kid Ory, and Jelly Roll Morton. These men formed small bands and took the music of earlier musicians, improved its complexity, and gained greater success. This music is known as “hot Jazz” due to the enormously fast speeds and rhythmic drive. A young cornet player by the name of Louis Armstrong was discovered by Joe Oliver in New Orleans. He soon grew up to become one of the greatest and most successful musicians of all time, and later one of the biggest stars in the world. The impact of Armstrong and other talented early Jazz musicians changed the way we look at music. 31. The Passage answers which of the following questions? A.

The driver returned the next spring to see what had become of his cargo. Instead of the skeletons he had expected to find, he saw his oxen, living, fat, and healthy. How had they survived? The answer lay in a resource that unknowing Americans lands trampled underfoot in their haste to cross the “Great American Desert” to reach lands that sometimes proved barren. In the eastern parts of the United States, the preferred grass for forage was a cultivated plant. It grew well with enough rain, then when cut and stored it would cure and become nourishing hay for winter feed. But in the dry grazing lands of the West that familiar bluejoint grass was often killed by drought. To raise cattle out there seemed risky or even hopeless. Who could imagine a fairy-tale grass that required no rain and somehow made it possible for cattle to feed themselves all winter? But the surprising western wild grasses did just that. They had wonderfully convenient features that made them superior to the cultivated eastern grasses. Variously known 14
  • 15. as buffalo grass, grama grass, or mesquite grass, not only were they immune to drought; but they were actually preserved by the lack of summer and autumn rains. They were not juicy like the cultivated eastern grasses, but had short, hard stems. And they did not need to be cured in a barn, but dried right where they grew on the ground. When they dried in this way, they remained naturally sweet and nourishing through the winter. Cattle left outdoors to fend for themselves thrived on this hay. And the cattle themselves helped plant the fresh grass year after year for they trampled the natural seeds firmly into the soil to be watered by the melting snows of winter and the occasional rains of spring. The dry summer air cured them much as storing in a barn cured the cultivated grasses. 66. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. A type of wild vegetation B. Western migration after Civil War C.

The answer lay in a resource that unknowing Americans lands trampled underfoot in their haste to cross the “Great American Desert” to reach lands that sometimes proved barren. In the eastern parts of the United States, the preferred grass for forage was a cultivated plant. It grew well with enough rain, then when cut and stored it would cure and become nourishing hay for winter feed. But in the dry grazing lands of the West that familiar bluejoint grass was often killed by drought. To raise cattle out there seemed risky or even hopeless. Who could imagine a fairy-tale grass that required no rain and somehow made it possible for cattle to feed themselves all winter? But the surprising western wild grasses did just that. They had wonderfully convenient features that made them superior to the cultivated eastern grasses. Variously known as buffalo grass, grama grass, or mesquite grass, not only were they immune to drought; but they were actually preserved by the lack of summer and autumn rains. They were not juicy like the cultivated eastern grasses, but had short, hard stems. And they did not need to be cured in a barn, but dried right where they grew on the ground. When they dried in this way, they remained naturally sweet and nourishing through the winter. Cattle left outdoors to fend for themselves thrived on this hay. And the cattle themselves helped plant the fresh grass year after year for they trampled the natural seeds firmly into the soil to be watered by the melting snows of winter and the occasional rains of spring. The dry summer air cured them much as storing in a barn cured the cultivated grasses. 66. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Western migration after Civil War B. A type of wild vegetation C.

It has functioned as popular art and enjoyed periods of fairly widespread public response, in the “jazz age” of the 1920s, in the “swing era” of the late 1930s and in the peak popularity of modern jazz in the late 1950s. The standard legend about Jazz is that it originated around the end of the 19th century in New Orleans and moved up the Mississippi River to Memphis, St. Louis, and finally to Chicago. It welded together the elements of Ragtime, marching band music, and the Blues. However, the influences of what led to those early sounds goes back to tribal African drum beats and European musical structures. Buddy Bolden, a New Orleans barber and cornet player, is generally considered to have been the first real Jazz musician, around 1891. What made Jazz significantly different from the other earlier forms of music was the use of improvisation. Jazz displayed a break from traditional music where composers wrote an entire piece of music on paper, leaving the musicians to break their backs playing exactly what was written on the score. In a Jazz piece, however, the song is simply a starting point, or sort of skeletal guide for the Jazz musicians to improvise around. Actually, many of the early Jazz musicians were bad sight readers and some couldn’t even read music at all. Generally speaking, these early musicians couldn’t make very much money and were stuck working menial jobs to make a living. The second wave of New Orleans Jazz musicians included such memorable players as Joe Oliver, Kid Ory, and Jelly Roll Morton. These men formed small bands and took the music of earlier musicians, improved its complexity, and gained greater success. This music is known as “hot Jazz” due to the enormously fast speeds and rhythmic drive. A young cornet player by the name of Louis Armstrong was discovered by Joe Oliver in New Orleans. He soon grew up to become one of the greatest and most successful musicians of all time, and later one of the biggest stars in the world. The impact of Armstrong and other talented early Jazz musicians changed the way we look at music. 6. The Passage answers which of the following questions? 25
