All Americans are at least vaguely　　31　　 with the plight of the American Indian. Cutbacks in federal programs for Indians have made their problems　　32　　 more severe in recent years. Josephy reports， “　　33　　1981 it was estimated that cutbacks in federal programs for Indians totaled about $500 million” or more than ten times the cuts affecting their　　34　　fellow Americans. Additional cuts seem to be threatened in the future. This reduced funding is affecting almost all 　　35　　 of reservation life，　　36　　education. If the Indians could 　　37　　 their　　38　　problems， solutions to many of their other problems might not be far behind. In this paper the current status of Indian education will be described and　　39　　 and some ways of improving this education will be proposed.
Whether to　　40　　with the dominant American culture or to 　　41　　 Indian culture has been a longstanding issue in Indian education. After the Civil War full responsibility for Indian education was turned over by the government to churches and missionary groups. The next fifty years became a period of　　42　　assimilation in all areas of Indian culture， but especially in religion and education.
John Collier， a reformer who agitated　　43　　Indians and their culture 　　44　　 the early 1920s until his death in 1968， had a different idea. He believed that instead of effacing native culture， Indian schools should encourage and　　45　　it.
Pressure to assimilate remains a potent force today，　　46　　. More and more Indians are graduating from high school and college and becoming　　47　　for jobs in the non-Indian society. “ When Indians obtain the requisite skills， many of them enter the broader American society and succeed. ”　　48　　approximately 90 percent of all Indian children are educated in state public school systems.How well these children compete with the members of the dominant society， 　　49　　， is another　　50　　.

Anna Douglas was 72 years old when she started writing her newspaper column. She had been the director of a school and a camp before she retired， but she needed to keep busy. She was even willing to work without pay. That was the reason she found a volunteer job with an agency. The agency that she chose to work for was a business that helped other businesses find jobs for old people. Every day she talked with other retired people like herself. By talking， she recognized two things. Old people had abilities that were not being used. Old people also had problems—mostly problems with communication.
Mrs. Douglas found a new purpose for herself. Through the years， from time to time she had written stories about people for national magazines. Now there was a new subject： old people like herself. She began to write a newspaper column called “Sixty Plus，” which focused on getting old. She writes about the problems of old people， especially their problems with being misunderstood.
Anna Douglas uses her thinking ability to see the truth behind a problem. She understands the reasons why problems begin. She understands old people and young people， too. For example， one of her readers said that his grandchildren left the house as soon as he came to visit. Mrs. Douglas suggested some ways for him to increase understanding with his grandchildren. She told him to listen to young people's music and to watch the most popular television shows.
“It's important to know something about your grandchildren's world，” says Mrs. Douglas. “That means questioning and listening—and listening is not what oldsters do best，” she continues， “Say good things to them and about them. Never criticize your grandchildren or any other youngsters， teenagers， or young adults. Never tell them that they are wrong. Don't give them your opinion. They have been taught that they should have respect for old people. The old should have respect for the young as well.”

Chemistry did not emerge as a science until after the scientific revolution in the seventeenth century and then only rather slowly and laboriously. But chemical knowledge is as old as history， being almost entirely concerned with the practical arts of living. Cooking is essentially a chemical process； so is the melting of metals and the administration of drugs and potions. This basic chemical knowledge， which was applied in most cases as a rule of thumb， was nevertheless dependent on previous experiment. It also served to stimulate a fundamental curiosity about the processes themselves. New information was always being gained as artisans improved techniques to gain better results.
The development of a scientific approach to chemistry was， however， hampered by several factors. The most serious problem was the vast range of material available and the consequent difficulty of organizing it into some system. In addition， there were social and intellectual difficulties， chemistry is nothing if not practical； those who practice it must use their hands， they must have a certain practical flair. Yet in many ancient civilizations， practical tasks were primarily the province of a slave population. The thinker or philosopher stood apart from this mundane world， where the practical arts appeared to lack any intellectual content or interest.
The final problem for early chemical science was the element of secrecy. Experts in specific trades had developed their own techniques and guarded their knowledge to prevent others from stealing their livelihood. Another factor that contributed to secrecy was the esoteric nature of the knowledge of alchemists， who were trying to transform base metals into gold or were concerned with the hunt for the elixir that would bestow the blessing of eternal life. In one sense， the second of these was the more serious impediment because the records of the chemical processes that early alchemists had discovered were often written down in symbolic language intelligible to very few or in symbols that were purposely obscure.

85. What is the passage mainly about？
A. The scientific revolution in the seventeenth century.
B. Reasons that chemistry developed slowly as a science.
C. The practical aspects of chemistry.
D. Difficulties of organizing knowledge systematically.

86. According to the passage， how did knowledge about chemical processes increase before the seventeenth century？
A. Philosophers devised theories about chemical properties.
B. A special symbolic language was developed.
C. Experience led workers to revise their techniques.
D. Experts shared their discoveries with the public.

87. The bold word “hampered” in Line 1 Para 2 is closest in meaning to　　　　.
A. recognized　　　　B. determined 　　　　C. solved　　　　D. hindered

88. The bold word “it” refers to which of the following？
A. Problem. B. Material. C. Difficulty. D. System.

89. Which of the following statements best explains why “the second of these was the more serious impediment”(Underlined)？
A. Chemical knowledge was limited to a small number of people.
B. The symbolic language used was very imprecise.
C. Very few new discoveries were made by alchemists.
D. The records of the chemical processes were not based on experiments.

　An important new industry， oil refining， grew after the Civil War. Crude oil， or petroleum a dark， thick ooze from the earth had been known for hundreds of years， but little use had ever been made of it. In the 1850’s Samuel M. Kier， a manufacturer in western Pennsylvania， began collecting the oil from local scapages and refining it into kerosene. Refining， like smelting， is a process of removing impurities from a raw material.
Kerosene was used to light lamps. It was a cheap substitute for whale oil， which was becoming harder to get. Soon there was a large demand for kerosene. People began to search for new supplies of petroleum.
The first oil well was drilled by E. L. Drake， are tired railroad conductor. In 1859 he began drilling in Titusville， Pennsylvania. The whole venture seemed so impractical and foolish that onlookers called it “Drake’s Folly”. But when he had drilled down about 70 feet(21 meters)， Drake struck oil. His well began to yield 20 barrels of crude oil a day.
News of Drake’s success brought oil prospectors to the scene. By the early 1860’s these wildcatters were drilling for “black gold” all over western Pennsylvania. The boom rivaled the California gold rush of 1848 in its excitement and Wild West atmosphere. And it brought far more wealth to the prospectors than any gold rush.
Crude oil could be refined into many products. For some years kerosene continued to be the principal one. It was sold in grocery stores and door－to－door. In the 1880’s and 1890’s refiners learned how to make other petroleum products such as waxes and lubricating oils. Petroleum was not then used to make gasoline or heatingoil.

90.What is the best title for the passage？
A. Oil Refining： A Historical Perspective
B. The California Gold Rush： Get Rich Quickly
C. Private Property： Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted
D. Kerosene Lamps： A Light in the Tunnel

91.It can be inferred form the passage that kerosene was preferable to whale oil because whale oil was too　　　　.
A. expensive B. thick C. hot D. polluted

92.According to the passage， many people initially thought that E. L. Drake had made a mistake by　　　　.
A. going on a whaling expedition B. moving to Pennsylvania
C. searching for oil D. retiring from his job

93.Why does the author mention the California gold rush？
A. To explain the need for an increased supply of gold
B. To indicate the extent of United States mineral wealth
C. To describe the mood when oil was first discovered
D. To argue that gold was more valuable than oil

94. Which of the following words could best replace the word “one” (Underlined)？
A. Oil. B. Door. C. Store. D. Product.

Archaeology has long been an accepted tool for studying prehistoric cultures. Relatively recently the same techniques have been systematically applied to studies of the more immediate past. This has been called “historical archaeology，” a term that is used in the United States to refer to any archaeological investigation into North American sites that postdate the arrival of Europeans.
Back in the 1930's and 1940's， when building restoration was popular， historical archaeology was primarily a tool of architectural reconstruction. The role of archaeologists was to find the foundations of historic buildings and then take a back seat to architects.
The mania for reconstruction had largely subsided by the 1950's and 1960's. Most people entering historical archaeology during this period came out of university anthropology departments， where they had studied prehistoric cultures. They were， by training， social scientists， not historians， and their work tended to reflect this bias. The questions they framed and the techniques they used were designed to help them understand， as scientists， how people behaved. But because they were treading on historical ground for which there was often extensive written documentation， and because their own knowledge of these periods was usually limited， their contributions to American history remained circumscribed. Their reports， highly technical and sometimes poorly written， went unread.
More recently， professional archaeologists have taken over. These researchers have sought to demonstrate that their work can be a valuable tool not only of science but also of history， providing fresh insights into the daily lives of ordinary people whose existences might not otherwise be so well documented. This newer emphasis on archaeology as social history has shown great promise， and indeed work done in this area has lead to a reinterpretation of the United States past.
In Kingston， New York， for example， evidence has been uncovered that indicates that English goods were being smuggled into that city at a time when the Dutch supposedly controlled trading in the area. And in Sacramento an excavation at the site of a fashionable nineteenth-century hotel revealed that garbage had been stashed in the building's basement despite sanitation laws to the contrary.

95.What does the passage mainly discuss？
A.Why historical archaeology was first developed.
B.How the methods and purpose of historical archaeology have changed.
C.The contributions architects make to historical archaeology.
D.The attitude of professional archaeologists toward historical archaeology.

96.What was popular in the 1930's and 1940's？
A.Studying prehistoric cultures.
B.Archaeological investigation.
C.Building restoration.
D.Historical archaeology.

97.According to the first paragraph， what is a relatively new focus in archaeology？
A.Investigating the recent past.
B.Studying prehistoric cultures.
C.Excavating ancient sites in what is now the United States.
D.Comparing findings made in North America and in Europe.

98.According to the passage， when had historical archaeologists been trained as anthropologists？
A.Prior to the 1930's. B.During the 1930's and 1940's.
C.During the 1950's and 1960's. D.After the 1960's.

99.In the third paragraph， the author implies that the techniques of history and social science are 　　　.
A.quite different from each other
B.equally useful in studying prehistoric cultures
C.usually taught to students of archaeology
D.both based on similar principles
