The document is a reading comprehension test with multiple choice questions about a passage. The passage discusses how radio is used on large farms in Australia due to their isolation. It describes how the government set up a two-way radio program so farmers could contact doctors for medical advice. It also discusses radio schools being set up for farm children who could not attend regular schools due to the distance. Farm families would use "round robin" radio talks to keep in touch and share news. The radio became an important communication tool and source of information for isolated farm communities in Australia.

Australia is nearly as large as the United
States, but most of it is too dry to live in.
Around the edge of this huge dry part are large
sheep and cattle farms. A few of them are as
large as the smallest states in America. Often
the nearest neighbors are many hundred miles
away.
The two – way radio is very important to
people who live on these great Australian farms.
It works much like a telephone. A person can
listen to someone else talk and give an answer.
When these radios first came into use, the
Australian government set up a special two – way
radio program. Then, people on the large farms
could talk to a doctor hundreds of miles away.
They could tell the doctor about someone who
was sick, and the doctor could let them know
how to care for the sick person.

14. Since the large farms were so far from
towns, the children could not to go to school.
Radio schools were set up for them in some
places. At a certain time each day, the boys
and girls turn on their radios and listen to
teachers in cities miles away.
Families on the large farms wanted to give
news to their neighbors. “Round robin” talks by
radio were started to keep families in touch
with each other. They could talk about who was
getting married or who was sick or who was
going away. The men could talk about their
sheep and cattle and how much money the
markets would pay for them. In many ways the
radio became a newspaper for the farm people
of Australia.

Items 51 -55
Few animals besides monkeys have hand-like
paws. The monkey, like man, has as opposable
thumb – that is, it can place its thumb opposite
its other fingers. By pressing its first finger
against its thumb a monkey can pick up things
as tiny as a flea. Because other animals lack this
thumb, it is difficult for them to pick up small
things and carry them.
The monkey’s ability to grasp rice with its
paw often leads to its capture. Hunters put
some rice inside a coconut leaving a hole in
the shell of the nut. The monkey has no trouble
sliding its paw through the hole. But it can’t
draw the paw out while it is holding the rice
with its paw.
Since it is often too stupid or greedy to
open its hand, the monkey is unable to free
itself from this simple trap.

16. 51. According to the passage, not many animals
have ________.
1. paws with fingers
2. paws with thumbs
3. paws without fingers
4. paws without thumbs and fingers

pushing its thumb against __________.

fingers

trap because monkeys ____________.

found

3. usually keep their paws closed to hold the
rice
4. like to eat rice but not the coconut
55. The success or failure of a coconut trap
depends on __________.
1. what kind of rice is in the coconut
2. how many holes are in the coconut shell
3. how large the coconut is

17. 4. whether the monkey will give up the rice
Items 56-60
As we all know, it was Thomas Jefferson
who wrote the Declaration of the Independence.
He wrote it in two weeks, and after a few
changes, it was accepted by the Congress. As a
result, he became famous.
Born in Virginia, Thomas Jefferson, a
brilliant student at school and almost talented
lawyer later, was much interested in politics.
Jefferson was elected Governor of Virginal in
1779, and he was sent to France as the
representative of the American government in

long arms and big hands. Jefferson, who was an
amusing talker in conversation but a poor
speaker, was generally good-natured.
Jefferson was regarded as a defender of
freedom on America. As a president, he
protected the right of free speech. Interestingly
enough, in his eight years as President,
Jefferson never vetoed a bill which Congress had
passed. He did a lot in organizing the new
University of Virginia.
Thomas Jefferson died on July the fourth,
1826, the 50th anniversary of American
Independence.

won its independence in ___________.
