Paragraph Title: Questions 3 to 6 DIRECTIONS for questions 3 to 6: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow it. Most of the unmarried group in the U. S. are black women. Nearly 70%of black women are unmarried, and the racial gap in marriage spans the socioeconomic spectrum, from the urban poor to well-off suburban professionals. Three in 10 college-educated black women haven't married by age 40; their white peers are less than half as likely to have remained unwed. Part of the problem is incarceration. More than a million men are now imprisoned in the U. S. and roughly 40% of them are African-American. At any given time, more than 10% of black men in their 20s or 30s – prime marrying ages – are in jail or prison.

Educationally, also, black men lag. There are roughly 1.4 million black women now in college, compared to just 900,000 black men. By graduation, black women out number men 2 to 1. Among graduate-school students in 2008, there were 125,000 African-American women but only 58,000 African-American men. That same year, black women received more than three out of every five law or medical degrees awarded to African-Americans. These problems translate into dimmer economic prospects for black men, and the less a man earns, the less likely he is to marry. That's how the relationship market operates. Marriage is a matter of love and commitment, but it is also an exchange. A black man without a job or the likelihood of landing one cannot offer a woman enough to make that exchange worthwhile. But poor black men are not the only ones who didn't marry. At every income level, black men are less likely to marry than are their white counterparts. And the marriage gap is wider among men who earn more than $100,000 a year than among men who earn, say $50,000 or $60,000 a year. The dynamics of the relationship market offer one explanation for this pattern. Because black men are in short supply, their options are better than those of black women. A desirable black man who ends a relationship with one woman will find many others waiting; that's not so for black women. To start, they might find themselves in better relationships. Some professional black women would no doubt discover that they are more compatible with a white, Asian or Latino co-worker or college classmate than with the black guy they grew up with, who now works at the auto shop.

By opening themselves to relationships with men of other races, Black women would also lessen the power disparity that depresses the African-American marriage rate. As more black women expand their options, black women as a group would have more leverage with black men. Even black women who remained unwilling to love across the color line would benefit from other black women's willingness to do so. It's hard to resist the paradoxical possibility that, if more black women married non-black men, then more black men and women might, in time, marry each other.

The primary purpose of the passage is to

A. identify the reasons for a trend and recommend measures to address it.b. explain why a particular ethnic group has been less successful in the relationship market than was once anticipated.C. present a concern about the possible consequences of the marriage gap among a minority group.D. propose an alternative to a particular outlook that has inadvertently caused damage to the matrimonial prospects of a group.

Paragraph Title: Questions 9 to 11 DIRECTIONS for questions 9 to 11: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow it. "The trouble with you," Anna said, in a voice in which compassion, disgust, and reproach fought for equal time, "is that you can't remember what it was like to be young. And even if you could remember – well, when you were my age, you were in that crazy Jehovah's Witness religion, and you probably didn't even play spin the bottle." Anna, my prepubescent eleven-year-old, feels sorry for me because I did not have "a normal childhood." It has never occurred to her to question whether her childhood is "normal"...... which is to say, she is happy. She cannot conceive a life in which one is not free to move around, explore, argue, flirt with ideas and dismiss them, form passionate alliances and friendships according to no imperative but one's own nature and volition; she regards love as unconditional, she expects nurturance as her birthright. It fills her with terror and pity that anyone - especially her mother - could have grown up any differently - could have grown up in a religion where love was conditional upon rigid adherence to dogma and established practice......where approval had to be bought from authoritarian sources.....where people did not fight openly and love fiercely and forgive generously and make decisions of their own and mistakes of their own and have adventures of their own. "Poor Mommy," she says. To have spent one's childhood in love with/tyrannized by a vengeful Jehovah is not Anna's idea of a good time – nor is it her idea of goodness. As, in her considered opinion, my having been a proselytizing Jehovah's Witness for thirteen years was about as good a preparation for real life as spending a commensurate amount of

time in a Skinner box on the North Pole, she makes allowances for me. I do worry about Anna. She is, as I once explained to someone who thought that she might be the better for a little vigorous repression, a teleological child. She is concerned with final causes, with ends and purposes and means, she would like to see evidence of design and order in the world; and all her adventures are means to that end. That, combined with her love for the music, color, poetry, ritual, and drama of religion, might, I think, if she were at all inclined to bow her back to authority - and if she didn't have my childhood as an example of the perils thereof - have made her ripe for conversion to an apocalyptic, messianic sect.

That fear may be evidence of my special paranoia, but it is not an entirely frivolous conjecture. Ardent preadolescent girls whose temperament tends toward the ecstatic are peculiarly prone to conversion to fancy religions.

Paragraph Title: Questions 18 to 20 DIRECTIONS for questions 18 to 20: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow it. A delightful aspect of travelling slowly is having time to hang around in places and meet people, travelling by foot or on public transport and going to hotels and cafes that local people can afford to patronize. Making connections, sharing breakfast at the top of a volcano with a shockingly impoverished university professor and his family on the island of Flores, collecting eggs and a chicken filled snake at a Malaysian engineer's hobby farm and attending a time-warped meeting of the East African women's League in Kenya - these are the highlights. Travel must be slow enough to allow such accidents to happen. Slow travel has mainly been about learning again and again that most people are poor, a very few people are exceedingly rich and doing nicely, corruption is normal, clean water is precious and good people everywhere are doing what they can. Tourists are generally shielded from the grosser evidence of this: airport officials do not hassle for money and even cheap hotels have running water where few of the population do. Entering a country by boat, it is just necessary to deal with customs, immigration, port and health authorities, a host of bureaucracies. These first delicate encounters with officialdom have proved a remarkably accurate barometer when compared with the Corruption – Perception Index published by Transparency International, a Berlin-based pressure group. Fast travel enables increasing number of people to visit more exotic and remote places, but as tourism becomes a significant factor in struggling economies, more and more incredibly fancy resorts are being built in places with the poorest populations and most intractable socio-political problems.

Most tourists on their two-week holiday do not want to be confronted by poverty and disease or reminded that the soup they just ordered costs twice the waiter's daily wage. The waiter may count himself lucky to earn a daily wage. Increasingly, sailing takes you only to places that can also be reached faster and more comfortably by people who are in more of a hurry to find tranquility. Since anchoring in commercial ports or near big towns can be unsafe, sheltered bays or remote islands are particularly attractive but it is here that one most often stumbles upon exclusive resorts where guests are delivered from the nearest airport by private planes or motor yachts. Throughout the Indian ocean, posh hotels serve low-key casual tropical-paradise elegance. Each night at sea I do the midnight to six o'clock watch. Since having a light on kills night vision, I do little except monitor our position regularly, trim the sails and perhaps learn to recognize another constellation or rehearse some little phrases of Kiswahili or whatever, ready for landfall.
