Section 3 Reading Comprehension Skills

UFO enthusiasts often attempt to prove the existence of aliens. They show fuzzy photos of floating white cigars and point to oddities in the way the world works as proof that “we are not alone.” They also point to the mysterious Anasazi culture. The Anasazi, historians say, were an ancient Native American tribe located near the desert area we now call Area 51 that suddenly began experiencing a huge cultural revolution. Some people attribute such miraculous cultural growth to a decision to farm beans, but others prefer to give credit to assistance to friendly aliens.

Now, alien fans can add some weight to their argument that aliens exist—from the writings of Washington Irving. Irving (1783-1859) wrote the first fiction works in the colonial America. Among other things, Irving wrote about the history of New York and mythological stories; he also wrote satires, a powerful tool given the fledgling nation's political turmoil. However, he is best known for his stories, like “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” and “Tales of a Traveler.”

Of Irving's ouvre, it is Irving’s “Rip Van Winkle” to which UFO fans should direct their attention, for the argument has been made that Van Winkle's twenty-year sleep is actually a ease of alien abduction. As odd as this sounds, the ease deserves some investigation.

1. What is the function of paragraph two?

(A) to hook the reader’s attention so that s/he will continue reading

(B) to move the discussion from the introduction to the highlight of the article (C) to give a detailed argument that “Rip Van Winkle” describes a UFO abduction (D) to tell biographical information about Washington Irving (E) to tell the story of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow”

2. Which of the following events happened around the time of Irving’s lifetime? (A) the Civil War (B) the Vietnam War (C) World War I

(D) the American Revolution (E) World War II

3. Which of the following inferences can be made about the Anasazi?

(A) The beans probably gave them additional energy and cultural stability. (B) They lived near New England.

(C) They all disappeared mysteriously. (D) They sacrificed children to the aliens. (E) They migrated freely until the 1980s.

4. According to the article, for which of his writings was Irving famous? (A) “Tale of a Tub”

(B) \"Old Mother Hubbard\" (C) “The Headless Horseman” (D) \"Rip Van Winkle\"

(E) “The Life of Washington”

5. Which of the following best describes the author’s tone? (A) rude but informative

(B) knowledgeable but playful (C) Conceited but angry (D) Skeptical but pious (E) Sarcastic but rigorous

6. The author’s main purpose in writing this piece is______. (A) to embarrass Washington Irving’s successors (B) to get the reader interested in reading mythology

(E) to refute the argument that George Washington believed in alien life.

In the 1980s, theaters presented a new animated film called Anastasia. It told the story of a young, poverty-stricken Russian girl who comes to find out that she is the long-lost Princess Anastasia, daughter of Czar Nicholas II. By the end of the movie, she ascends her throne as a

benevolent ruler. But fans of that movie must face an unpleasant truth: Either the writers got it all wrong, or they intentionally ignored history. On July 17, 1918, Anastasia, along with the rest of her family, was murdered before she reached the age of 18; there were no survivors. And although the film correctly targets Rasputin as a disreputable villain, it nevertheless caricatures his character and his ambitions.

It's time to set the record straight.

Rasputin, born Grigory Yefimovisc Novykh, was born in Siberia in 1872. He came from poverty-stricken, illiterate people, and he soon earned for himself a bad reputation for his wild lifestyle; indeed, his nickname “Rasputin” means debauched. For a time, Rasputin studied at a monastery, but he came to believe that the only means of salvation came through indulging one’s appetites. He then became a wandering, self-proclaimed holy man, and he traveled extensively, even into Greece and Jerusalem. Upon his return to Russia, Rasputin traveled to St. Petersburg. There he met Czar Nicholas II and his family.

Unbelievably, despite his salacious lifestyle and his distaste for bathing, Rasputin ingratiated himself with the Czarina. For whatever reason, Rasputin proved repeatedly that he could comfort the crown prince Alexis, who was afflicted with hemophilia.

Naturally, his close relationship with the ruling family threw a sour taste into the mouths of-the Russian nobility. They eventually plotted against Rasputin with\" the goal of engineering his death. On December 29, 1916, a nobleman invited Rasputin to his home for drinks and conversation. There, he poisoned Rasputin^ drink and waited for him to die. Rasputin proved stronger than anticipated, and so the noble and his friends tried to shoot him instead. Again, Rasputin clung to life. Finally, the nobles had to drag him down to the river and drown him.

Rasputin had his drawbacks. He was selfish. He was corrupt. He was politically ambitious. However, he does not deserve to be represented as he is in Anastasia.

7. The author’s intent in writing this passage is______.

(A) to further confound the information people have about Anastasia and her family (B) to desecrate Rasputin’s reputation

(C) to praise the film Anastasia for its historical accuracy (D) to restore a little dignity to a powerful historical figure (E) to talk about Czar Nicholas II and his family

9. What did Rasputin consider himself? (A) a politician (B) a holy man (C) a czar (D) a noble (E) a spy

10. Who, according to the article, had hemophilia? (A) Anastasia (B) the czar (C) the czarina

(D) The crown prince (E) Rasputin

11. The author writes this passage with (A) humility (B) fear (C) anxiety (D) serenity (E) outrage

Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity ...

—William Butler Yeats (1920)

12. Which of the following events take place in this poem? (A) The volcanoes are beginning to explode. (B) The falcon cannot hear the falconer. (C) The animals cannot find their way home. (D) The people cannot see the sun.

(E) The tidal wave dashes the shore to pieces.

15. This poem tries to express the______. (A) fine skill of falconry

(B) understandable injustice of death (C) great joy about life

(D) deep pessimism about the world

(E) appreciation for anarchy as a political system

16. Why do you think that the author uses words like “blood-dimmed,” “anarchy,” and

“drowned innocence”?

Scattered across the United States are countless statues of men on horseback. You can find them in cemeteries, in parks, and outside

public service buildings. Normally, these statues depict men in uniform sitting astride horses. The main difference among these statues are the position the horses hold; they rear back on their hind legs with both hooves in the air, or hold one hoof aloft, or plant all four hooves firmly on the ground.

Legend has it that you can look at statues of men on horseback, anywhere in the United States, and know how they died. If the rider sits atop a horse with one hoof held up, then that person was wounded in battle and later died of his wounds. If the horse rears back on both hind legs, then that person died in battle. And if the horse stands on all four hooves, the rider died of natural causes.

Unfortunately, this story is a load of horse manure. It’s pretty to think that all sculptors adhered to this rule, but they did not. A simple scan across the horse-and-rider statues will prove this point. In fact, the lore generally is true only for Civil War battlefields.

17. You are in a graveyard located in Los Alamos, New Mexico. You see many statues of men

on horseback. One in particular catches your attention; it is made of bronze, and the man sits astride a horse reared back on both hind legs. You infer that______. (A) this man died in battle

(B) this man was wounded in battle and later died (C) this man died of natural causes (D) this man was a public servant (E) this man liked horses

18. In what sort of publication would you likely find this article? (A) a science text (B) an almanac (C) a book of trivia (D) a history book (E) a comic book

19. The best title for this passage would be______. (A) Urban Legends Explained (B) Ripley’s Believe It or Not

20. The author’s tone can be described as______. (A) heavyhanded (B) mathematical (C) dour

(D) lighthearted (E) loquacious

It has been said that “History is written by the winners,” and to a certain extent this statement is true. If nothing else, history has a very selective memory. As we study the events of World War II, stories

continue to surface. Some of these are happy; others are sad. Still others are merely intriguing.

One such story is that of Vasili Zeitsev, who fought for the Russian army against the invading Germans. Zeitsev, a deer hunter from the Urals, became a hero for his marksmanship; in one ten-day period, he shot 40 Germans. He was so good a shot, and so demoralizing for

German soldiers, that the Germans shipped in their own sharpshooter, Colonel Heinz Thornwald, for the express purpose of killing Zeitsev. Unfortunately for Thornwald, Zeitsev proved the better soldier.

Thornwald, after attempting a shot, stuck up his head for a quick look around; Zeitsev took the advantage and eliminated Thornwald. By the end of the war, Zeitsev alone defeated 242 Germans before he was blinded by a land mine.

Anyone interested in Zeitsev’s story can watch the recent film Enemy at the Gates, starring Joseph Fiennes, Jude Law, and Ed Harris. Even though some details have been changed, for example the inclusion of a love triangle, the movie is quite exciting and informative.

21. How many Germans did Zeitsev kill? (A) 142 (B) 242 (C) 342 (D) 442 (E) 542

22. What does the phrase “History is written by the winners” mean?

(A) The losers, because of their suffering, arc more interesting to listen to. (B) The soldiers, because of their sacrifice, are ignored.

(C) The winners, because they are now more powerful, can control information flow. (D) The generals, because of their military skill, can remain silent. (E) The artists, because of their skill, will listen to the soldiers.

23. What ended Zeitsev’s career?

(A) He stepped on a land mine and blew himself up.

(B) He went deaf after standing too near a tank when it fired its shot. (C) He drowned in the attack on Normandy. (D) He was blinded by a land mine.

(E) He was paralyzed when the cavalry stampeded his tent.

24. Zeitsev was ______. (A) American (B) French (C) German (D) neutral (E) Russian

25. The author intended_______. (A) to anger the reader

(B) to relate an interesting historical tidbit (C) to plug the movie Enemy at the Gates (D) to praise the Germans

(E) to document the story of Heinz Thornwald

26. What can we infer from Thornwald’s defeat?

(A) If Thornwald had aimed to the left, Zeitsev would be dead.

(B) If Zeitsev had been more careful about checking his shot, Thornwald would be alive. (C) If Thornwald had not eaten 15 minutes before making his shot, Zeitsev would be alive. (D) If Thornwald had not joined the German army, Zeitsev would not have joined the

Russian army.

(E) If Thornwald had been more careful about checking to see whether he hit, Zeitsev might

not have gotten a shot.

27. Because of his great aim, which of the following jobs was Zeitsev assigned? (A) sniper (B) radio man

Anyone who has lived in the United States for any length of time has seen, or heard of, graffiti. Graffiti is the scrawled artwork that defaces public buildings, street signs, and roadways. The subjects depicted by graffiti artists range widely; sometimes the graffiti is just gang names and logos, other times it is the artist’s name. Sometimes the graffiti is vaguely attractive, but more often than not, it is just a mass of obscene words.

Linguists will tell you that the term graffiti comes from the Italian word graffito, which means to scratch. Artists will tell you that the art form (They call it an art form!) dates back to the dawn of humanity; even the cave men used graffiti on their cave walls, and don’t forget the caricature of Jesus on the Domus Gelotiana in Rome, now on display in a museum.

These modern, politically correct yahoos would have you believe the garbage we sec scrawled on sidewalks and mailboxes every day is somehow contributing to our quality of life. By ridding ourselves of these “urban artworks,” they say, we are discriminating against those whose artistic ideals are different from ours.

Well, I say, our ideals arc different—and theirs arc wrong. Art does not deface property. Art is not vulgar. Art is not commercialism for gangland activities. And I urge you to join my opinion.

28. From what language does the word graffiti come? (A) English (B) Russian (C) Italian (D) Latin (E) Hebrew

29. In what context arc you likely to find this kind of writing? (A) the headlines

(B) the opinions/editorial page (C) the gossip columns (D) the sports page

(E) the real estate section

30. 'Which position does the author likely endorse?

(A) The city should set aside funding for grants to graffiti artists so they can continue their

work.

(B) The Museum of Modern Art should consider having a showcase for graffiti art.

school buildings.

(D) Urban artists should create their own wrapping paper design. (E) Graffiti artists should receive jail sentences.

31. In what place docs this author likely live? (A) a rural town in Mississippi (B) a village in eastern Kentucky (C) New York City

(D) the seaside in Florida (E) a resort in Alaska

32. With what emotion does the author write? (A) satisfaction (B) joy (C) fear

(D) exasperation (E) sorrow

Students study the theory of communism in school. They know that it was created and popularized by Marx and Engels. They know that it advocates putting the state's needs above the individual’s needs. They know many of the Russian leaders—like Stalin, Khrushchev, and Gorbachev.

What they may not realize is that, in the late 1890s, many great European and American thinkers adamantly advocated communism. This was a time during which one could sec class division taking place. At that time, people generally fit into one of two categories; either they were rich, or striving to be rich, or they were dirt poor. The poor

desired to be rich, and the rich had no desire to come into any contact with the poor. Communism offered a way out for the poor at the expense of the wealthy; classlessness offered a hopeful future for many.

Take, for example, British author H. G. Wells. Wells, one of the first science fiction writers, wrote The Time Machine with the tenets of communism firmly in mind. The Time Machine warns about what will happen if society continues to split into two factions—the rich and the poverty-stricken. The book shows the poverty-stricken class finally rising up and taking revenge upon the rich. By contrast, Wells argues, communism, with its classless society, offers a much more hopeful future.

Another writer who favored communism was American author John Steinbeck. In his The Grapes of Wraths for example, he sets up a story in which poverty-stricken folk are offered a dream—the American

Dream—that will never come true for them. Steinbeck holds capitalism accountable for the poverty and despair that exists in the world. He does this by depicting the horrible events that befall the Joad family on their way to find work in California. Bankers take over their farm.

Their car breaks down, and salesmen try to gyp them out of their cash. The Joads can’t find work in California because there is always someone willing to work at a lower wage. All of these traumas, Steinbeck

insinuates, will come true under capitalism. Steinbeck offers only one harmonious event for the Joads: a camp that runs on the principles of communism.

33. According to the passage, what text did John Steinbeck write? (A) Marx and Engels

(B) The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (C) The Time Machine

(D) Communism: The Way to Go (E) The Grapes of Wrath

34. Which statement outlines the organization of these four paragraphs? (A) An introduction and an example with two opposite claims. (B) A conclusion, two supporting paragraphs, and an introduction.

(E) An introduction, two supporting paragraphs, and a conclusion.

35. We can infer from the passage that the author_______. (A) is neutral (B) is a communist (C) is a capitalist (D) is a novelist (E) is poor

36. The author sets out to______.

(A) argue that communism is an evil theory

(B) give an explanation as to why people once took a great interest in communism (C) advocate a return to communism (D) recommend some good books to read (E) eradicate capitalism from the world

If you are a fan of such shows as Days of Our Lives or Passions, you are enjoying a dramatic tradition over a thousand years old. Any fan of a soap opera knows that certain trademark characters will be a part of the show, whether or not you want them to be. Every soap opera has a naive, innocent character (usually female) who runs into trouble with an evil, conniving, manipulative character (also usually female) who has set her sights on the innocent character’s boyfriend. Every soap opera, additionally, has an earnest young man who, because he is in love with the naive, innocent character, finds himself in conflict with a

calculating, boastful man. These recurring character types are modern versions of archetypes created by commedia dell’arte.

Commedia dell'arte evolved from the standards set by Roman comedies that became particularly popular during the Renaissance. Roman comedy had become highly formalized, and it used six main types of characters around whom the story unfolded. These characters included the Sweet Young Thing (a naive, innocent, young female character), the Miles Gloriosus (the superficially bold but secretly cowardly soldier), the Old Man (who takes a highly inappropriate interest in the Sweet Young Thing), the Old Woman (usually a nurse or chaperone of the Sweet Young Thing), the Brave Young Man (who eventually weds the Sweet Young Thing), and the Clever Slave (who comically but cleverly aids the Brave Young Man and the Sweet Young Thing in their attempts to escape the evil clutches of the Old Man).

Commedia dell'arte adopted these main characters, in particular the Clever Slave (often called the zanni) and the Brave Young Man and the Sweet Young Thing (also called The Lovers or Harlequin and

Columbine) and expanded their number. Eventually, a typical commedia dell’arte company consisted of 10 or 12 actors, each specializing in one or two character types, who ad-libbed performances. Over time, people grew tired of these stereotypical characters, and drama turned to more realistic depictions of human traumas. Nevertheless, remnants of commedia dell’arte exist--such as those in modem soap operas, as we shall see as we analyze some modern day examples.

37. The author wants to make the point that (A) soap operas are a complete waste of time (B) commedia dell'arte is a modem art form

(D) old things can sometimes be recreated in new ways (E) commedia dell’arte was a highly scripted art form

38. The character in commedia dell'arte who is a secret coward is the______. (A) Sweet Young Thing (B) Miles Gloriosus (C) Clever Slave (D) Old Man

(E) Brave Young Man

(B) to discuss the latest plot developments of Days of Our Lives (C) to talk about specific commedia dell’arte characters (D) to engage the reader’s attention (E) to waste the reader’s time

40. What is the name of the pair of lovers in commedia dell'arte? (A) Romeo and Juliet (B) Abbot and Costello (C) Punch and Judy (D) Betty and Veronica (E) Harlequin and Columbine
