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.

Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of communicating without using speech. Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found in every known culture. The basic function of signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts attention, as. For example, the dots and dashes of a telegraph circuit. Coded to refer to speech, the potential for communication is very great. Less adaptable to the codification of words, signs also contain meaning in and of themselves. A stop sign or a barber pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently. Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship with the receiver's cultural perceptions. In some cultures, applauding in a theater provides performers with an auditory symbol of approval. Gestures such as waving and handshaking also communicate certain cultural messages.

Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they do have a major disadvantage. They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to the receiver. As a result, means of communication intended to be used for long distances and extended periods are based upon speech. Radio, television, and the telephone are only a few.

Question 32. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. Gestures B. Signs and signals C. Speech D. Communication

Question 33. The phrase "impinge upon" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.

A. prohibit B. intrude C. vary D. improve

Question 34. The word "it" in paragraph refers to ______.

A. way B. environment C. function D. signal

Question 35. Applauding was cited as an example of ______.

A. a signal B. a sign C. a gesture D. a symbol

Question 36. Why were the telephone, radio, and television invented?

A. Because people were unable to understand signs, signals, and symbols.

B. Because people wanted to communicate across long distances.

C. Because people believed that signs, signals, and symbols were obsolete.

D. Because people wanted new forms of communication.

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.

Most Americans still get married at some point in their lives, but even that group is shrinking. Among current generations of adult American - starting with those born in 1920s - more than 90 percent have married or will marry at some point in their lives. However, based on recent patterns of marriage and mortality, demographers calculate that a growing share of the younger generations are postponing marriage for so long that an unprecedented number will never marry at all.

More Americans are living together outside of marriage. Divorced and widowed people are waiting longer to remarry. An increasing number of single women are raising children. Put these trends together with our increasing life expectancy, and the result is inevitable. Americans are spending a record low proportion of their adult lives married.

Married rates for unmarried men and women have dropped from their post-195Os high to record lows. Part of this fall is due to the change in the age at which people first marry. The median age at first marriage is the age by which half the men or women who will ever marry have done so. It fell almost continuously from the time it was first measured, in 1890, at 22.0 years for women and 26.1 for men, to a low of 20.3 for women and 22.6 for men between 1947 and 1962. Since then, it has risen at a rapid pace, to a record high for 23.8 for women and 26.2 for men in 1994.

The length of time between marriages is also increasing, and more divorced people are choosing not to remarry. In 1990, divorced men had waited an average of 3.8 years before remarrying, and divorced women had waited an average of 3.5 years, an increase of more than one year over the average interval in 1970.

Data on cohabitation and unmarried childbearing suggest that marriage is becoming less relevant to Americans. 2.8 million of the nation's households are unmarried couples, and one-third of them are caring for children, according to the Census Bureau.

Question 37. The word "unprecedented" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.

A. unbelievable B. never before seen C. decreasing D. impossible to count

Question 38. According to the passage, recent demographic patterns suggest that

A. 90 percent of younger generations will marry.

B. young people prefer to marry in order to have children,

C. most young people delay marriage for personal reasons.

D. an increasing number of young people will never marry.

Question 39. Between 1890 and the 1950s, the age at which men first married _______.

A. decreased by more than 3 years. B. increased by almost 2 years,

C. remained about the same. D. decreased by less than 2 years.

Question 40. In paragraph 3, the author shows that the median age at first marriage _______.

A. reached a record high for women in the early 1960s.

B. fell continuously between 1947 and 1962.

C. rose then fell between 1890 and 1962.

D. rose between the 1960s and 1990s.

Question 41. The word "rapid" in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by _______.

A. predictable B. fast C. increasing D. unbelievable

Question 42. Which of the following is TRUE about divorced people in America?

A. More divorced people want to remarry.
