Questions
16-23 are based on the
following passage.
The
passage below
is
adapted from
a
short story
set
in the
wilderness
of
Alaska.
Day had
broken
cold and gray,
exceedingly cold
and gray,
when
the
man turned
away from the
main
Yukon trail
and
climbed
the high
earth-bank, where
a dim and
little-traveled trail
led
eastward through
the
spruce timberland.
It was a
steep bank,
and
he
paused
for
breath
at the top,
excusing
the act
to
himself
by
looking
at his
watch.
It was
nine
o
’
clock.
There
was no
hint
of sun,
though there
was not
a
cloud
in the sky. It was a clear day, and yet
there
seemed
an
intangible
pall over the face of
things
that
made
the day
dark. This
fact did not
worry
the
man.
In fact, all
this
– the dim
trail,
the
absence
of
sun
from the sky, the
tremendous
cold, and
the
strangeness
and
weirdness
of
it
all –
made no
impression
on the
man.
It was not
because
he
was
used to it. He was a
newcomer
in the land, and
this
was his first
winter.
The
trouble
was
that
he
was
without imagination.
He was
young
and
quick and
alert
in the
things
of life, but only in the
things, and
not in the
significances.
It was fifty
degrees below
zero, he judged.
That impressed him
as being
cold
and

uncomfortable,
but
it
did not lead
him to
meditate upon
his
frailty
as a
creature
of
temperature,
and
upon human frailty
in
general, able
only to live
within narrow limits
of
heat
and
cold;
and
from
there
on
it
did not lead
him
to
the
conjectural
field of
immortality
and
humanity
’
s
place in the
universe.
Fifty
degrees below
zero
stood
for a bite of frost
that hurt
and
that must
be
guarded
(
50)
(
55)
(
60)
knew that it
was no
time
for
traveling.
Its
instinct
told
it
a
truer
tale
than
was told by the
man
’
s
judgment.
In
reality, it
was not
merely colder
than
fifty
below
zero;
it
was
colder than sixty below,
than
seventy below.
It was
seventy-five below
zero.
The
dog
knew nothing
of
thermometers. Possibly
in
its
brain there
was no
sharp consciousness
of
a
condition
of very cold
such
as was in the
human
brain.
But the
brute
had its
instinct.
It
experienced a
vague but
menacing apprehension that subdued
it
and made it slink
along at the
man
’
s

heels,
and
that
made it question
every
unusual movement
of
the
man
as if
expecting him
to go
into camp
or to
seek
shelter somewhere
and
build
a fire. The dog
had
learned
fire, and
it wanted
fire, or else to
burrow
under
the
snow
and
cuddle
its
warmth
away
from
the
air.
16
By
using
the
phrase “excusing
the act
to
himself” (lines
6-7), the
author suggests
that
the
man
(A) is
annoyed that it
is
already nine
o
’
clock

in
the
morning
(
B

)
distrusts
his own
intuitive reactions
to
things
(C) finds
fault with others more readily
than
with himself
(
D
)
doubts that
the
time
of day has any
real
bearing
on
things
(
E
)
dislikes admitting
to
personal weaknesses
(
30)
(
35)
(
40)
(
45)
against. Nothing more than that entered
his
head.
He
plunged
in
among
the
trees with
determination.
The
trail
was
faint.
A foot of
snow
had
fallen since
the last sled had
passed,
and he
was
glad he was
traveling light.
In fact, he
carried nothing
but the
lunch wrapped
in his
handkerchief.
He
was
surprised, however,
at the cold. It
certainly
was
cold,
he
concluded,
as he
rubbed
his
numb
nose
and
cheekbones with
his
mittened hand.
He was
bearded,
but
that
did not
protect
the high
cheekbones
and
the
eager nose
that thrust itself aggressively
into the
frosty air.
At his
heels walked
a dog, a big
native husky,
gray-coated, without
any
visible
or
temperamental
difference
from its close
relative,
the wild wolf.
The
animal
was
depressed
by the
tremendous
cold.

Questions
24-30 are based on the
following passage.
The
social science passage below
was
adapted from
an
article written
by a
health scientist.
For
people
in
Southeast Asian refugee families,
the
experience
of aging in
America
is very
different from
what they
had
expected
for
their second
half of
life.
Older Southeast Asian refugees must
cope
with their
rapidly acculturating younger
family members, while
taking
on new roles and
expectations
in a
foreign
culture.
Many Southeast Asian immigrants
find
that, by
American standards, they
are not even
considered
elderly. Migration
to a new
culture often changes
the
definition
of life
stages.
In the
traditional Hmong
culture
of
Vietnam,
one can
become
an elder at
35
years of age
when
one
becomes
a
grandparent. With
grandparent status,
elder
Hmong
can
retire and
expect their children
to
take financial responsibility
(
50)
(
55)
(
60)
(
65)
middle-aged men,
who had been the
major
breadwinners
of the
family.
Although
the
pattern
for
long-term adaptation of
middle-aged
and older
Southeast Asian refugees
is
still unknown, there
are
indications that
the
outlook
for
women
is
problematic. Many
older
women
provide household
and
childcare services
in order
to
allow younger family members
to hold jobs or go
to
school. While these women
are
helping younger
family members
to
succeed
in
America,
they
themselves
are
often isolated
at
home
and
not
learning English
or
other
new
skills,
or
becoming
more familiar with American society. Thus,
after
the
immigrant family passes through
the early
stages of
meeting
basic
survival needs,
older
women
may
find
that they
are
strangers
in
their
own
families
as
well
as

their
new
country.
(
20)
(
25)
(
30)
(
35)
(
40)
(
45)
for the
family. Retiring
at 35, of
course,
is
not
acceptable
in the
United States.
There
is a
strong influence
of
Confucianism
in
traditional Vietnamese society. Confucianism, an
ancient system
of
moral
and
religious
thought,
fosters strong
filial
piety
and
respect
for
family
elders.
In
many Southeast Asian societies,
age
roles
are
hierarchical, with strict rules
for
social
interaction.
In
America, however, because older
refugees
lack
facility with
the
English language and
knowledge
of
American culture, their credibility
decreases when advising younger family members
about important decisions.
As
younger family
members take
on
primary
roles as
family mediators
with American institutions
–
schools,
legal
systems,
and
social service agencies,
for
example
–
the
leadership position
of
elders within
the
family is
gradually eroded.
Refugee elders must
also cope
with differences
in
gender
roles in the
United States.
Even
before
migration, traditional gender
roles were
changing
in
Southeast
Asia.
During
the
Vietnam
War,
when men
of
military
age were
away, women
took
responsibility
for
tasks normally divided along
gender lines. When Vietnamese families came
to
this
country, changes
in
traditional gender
roles
became
more pronounced. There
were
more employment
opportunities
for
younger refugees
and
middle-aged
refugee women because
their expectations often fit
with
the
lower status
jobs
that
were
among
the
few
opportunities
open to
refugees. Many middle-aged
women
and
younger refugees
of
both
sexes
became
family breadwinners. This
was a
radical change for

why
