Reading Comprehension


Text 1



On July 4, 1776, a secret meeting of insurgent colonists in America


passed


the


Declaration


of


Independence.


War


against


the


British


had


already


been


going


on


for


over


a


year,


so


the


declaration


came


as


the


climax of years of stormy events in America.



The impetus for the American Revolution was the Treaty of Paris in


1763,


which


ended


the


struggle


between


the


British


and


French


for


control


over


North


America.


Since


the


colonists


were


no


longer


frightened


by


the


French,


they


ceased


to


rely


upon


the


British


for


protection


and


were


not


as


submissive


as


they


were


formerly.


On


the


other hand, the British regarded the colonies as a source of revenue and


began to impose unfair taxes upon them. The Sugar Act in 1764 and the


Stamp


Act


in


1765


were


so


eagerly


opposed


by


discontented


colonists


that rioting broke out. The Stamp Act was repealed in 1766 as a result of


the riots.


The British continued their policy of taxation without collaboration


with their once obedient subjects. The Townshend Acts (a series of taxes


on


glass,


lead,


paper


and


tea)


created


such


disgust


that


the


citizens


of


Boston attacked British soldiers who fired upon them. A new tea tax in


1773 again consolidated Boston residents



disagreement. About fifty men


disguised as Indians boarded British ships and got rid of their cargo of tea


in protest against the tea tax. That was the famous Boston Tea Party. In


reprisal,


the


British


abolished


the


Bostonians




right


to


self- rule,


and


by


passing


what


were


referred


to


as


Intolerable


Acts


in


Boston,


they


infuriated all of the colonies and caused them to unite in protest.


Representatives


from


twelve


colonies


gathered


in


Philadelphia


in


1774


to


plan


a


stratagem


to


avoid


British


interference


in


trade


and


to


protest


the


infamy


of


taxation


without


representation.


The


British


responded that the colonies were in rebellion, and, since nothing would


soothe either side, both sides prepared for war.


1.

to


the


passage,


the


first


violent


protest


against


the


British


was made in_______



A. 1776

Text 2


The


invention


of


the


snow


house


by


the


Eskimo


was


one


of


the


greatest triumphs over environment that man has ever accomplished.


In the Arctic Circle, it is not that people lack ability or industry, but the


surroundings


restrict


constructive


effort


to


the


barest


necessities


of


existence.


Agriculture


is


impossible


all


along


the


thousands


of


miles


of


the


north shore. The only wood is such as drifts in. Other than this driftwood,


the


only


available


building


materials


are


snow,


ice,


stone


and


bones


of


animals.


All


of


these


have


been


used


for


dwellings


and


storage


places,


differing in various tribes according to the requirements and skill of the


workers.


The lack of necessary timbers to build walls and span wide spaces is


probably one reason why these tribes construct their houses at least partly


beneath


the


surface


of


the


ground.


This


device


also


makes


the


houses


more


impervious


to


the


cold.


Most


of


us


are


inclined


to


think


that


the


Eskimo lives always in an igloo or snow house. This is not entirely true.


After


the


long


cold


winter,


the


family


is


very


apt


to


move,


when


the


weather permits, into a tent of sealskin. The actual construction of such


tents is similar to that used by other, more southerly tribes.


The


snow


house,


however,


is


an


interesting


and


unique


habitation.


Our summer campers will not build with snow, but the ingeniousness of


the art is worth recording, and some of our winter camps in the mountains


might try to make snow houses.


It


is


essential


that


the


snow


itself


be


of


the


right


kind.


It


must


be


taken


from


a


bank


formed


by


a


single


storm,


or


the


blocks


will


break


when cut. The snow must be very fine-grained but not too hard to be cut


with a snow knife.


As Point Barrow, Alaska, houses of snow are used only temporarily;


for


example,


at


the


hunting


grounds


on


the


rivers,


and


occasionally


by


visitors at the village who prefer having their own quarters. These houses


are not built in the dome or beehive shape. The walls are made of blocks


of snow, high enough so that a person can stand up inside the rooms.


Outside


at


the


south


end,


a


low,


narrow,


covered


passage


of


snow


leads to a low door. Above this is a window made of seal entrails. The


door of the house is protected by a curtain of canvas. At the other end, the


floor is raised into a kind of settee on which are laid boards and skins.


6.



According to the author, the building of the snow house was necessary


because of _______


A.



The inhabitants



lack of ability and industry


B.



The extreme cold temperatures


C.



The


large


expense


involved


in


shipping


raw


materials


to


the


Arctic


Circle.
