Part
III. Reading Comprehension (30%)
Directions:
There
are
3
passages
in
this
part.
Each
passage
is
followed
by
some
questions
or
unfinished statements. For each of them
there are four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and
[D]. You
should decide on the best
choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the
Answer Sheet.
Passage One
Mobility of individual members and
family groups tends to split up family
relationships.
Occasionally
the
movement
of
a
family
away
from
a
situation
which
has
been
the
source
of
friction results in greater family
organization, but on the whole mobility is
disorganizing.
Individuals
and
families
are
involved
in
three
types
of
mobility:
movement
in
space,
movement up or down in social status,
and the movement of ideas. These are termed
respectively
spatial, vertical, and
ideational mobility.
A great increase in spatial
mobility has gone along with improvements in rail
and water
transportation, the invention
and use of the automobile, and the availability of
airplane passenger
service.
Spatial
mobility
results
in
a
decline
in
the
importance
of
the
traditional
home
with
its
emphasis
on family continuity and stability. It also means
that when individual family members of
the family as a whole move away from a
community, the person or the family is removed
from the
pressures of relatives,
friends, and community institutions for
conventionality and stability. Even
more
important
is
the
fact
that
spatial
mobility
permits
some
members
of
a
family
to
come
in
contact with and possibly
adopt attitudes, values, and ways of thinking
different from those held
by other
family members. The presence of different
attitudes, values, and ways of thinking within
a
family
may,
and
often
does,
result
in
conflict
and
family
disorganization.
Potential
disorganization is
present in those families in which the husband,
wife, and children are spatially
separated
over
a
long
period,
or
are
living
together
but
see
each
other
only
briefly
because
of
different work schedules.
One index of
the increase in vertical mobility is the great
increase in the proportion of sons
and
to some extent daughters, who engage in
occupations other than those of the parents.
Another
index of vertical mobility is
the degree of intermarriage between social
classes. This occurs almost
exclusively
between classes which are adjacent to each other.
Engaging in a different occupation,
or
intermarriage,
like
spatial
mobility,
allows
one
to
come
in
contact
with
ways
of
behavior
different from
those of the parental home, and tends to separate
parents and their children.
The increase in
ideational mobility is measured by the increase in
publications, such as
newspapers,
periodicals, and books, the increase in the
percentage of the population owning radios,
and
the
increase
in
television
sets.
All
these
tend
to
introduce
new
ideas
into
the
home.
When
individual family members are exposed
to and adopt the new ideas, the tendency is for
conflict to
arise and for those in
conflict to become psychologically separated from
each other.
36.
What the passage tells us can be
summarized by the statement ____.
[A]
social development results
in a decline in the importance of traditional
families
[B]
family disorganization is more or less
the result of mobility
[C]
potential disorganization is present in
the American family
[D]
the movement of a family is one of the
factors in raising its social status
37.
According to
the passage, those who live in a traditional
family ____.
[A]
are less likely to quarrel with others
because of conventionality and stability
[B]
have to
depend on their relatives and friends if they do
not move away from it
[C]
will have more freedom of action and
thought if they move away from it
[D]
can get more help from
their family members if they are in trouble
38.
Potential disorganization exists in
those families in which ____.
[A]
the husband, wife, and
children work too hard
[B]
the husband, wife, and children seldom
get together
[C]
both parents have to work full time
[D]
the family
members are subject to social pressure.
39.
Intermarriage
and
different
occupations
play
an
important
role
in
family
disorganization
because
____.
[A]
they
permit one to come into contact with different
ways of behavior and thinking
[B]
they allow one to find a

status
[C]
they enable the children to better

40.
