41. Scientists have long dreamed of the

technological possibilities of nuclear fusion,
a process in which the nuclei of two atoms
are fused together. The energy that would
be generated by this process would far
surpass that of nuclear fission. Years of
research however, have failed to produce
any tangible results. As a result, funding for
fusion projects has been drastically reduced.
Nonetheless, some scientists continue to
believe that fusion is possible. Unfortunately,
the one team that claimed to have achieved
“cold” fusion failed to replicate its
experimental results, and scientists continue
to believe that other explanations can be
found for the results the team initially
observed. Therefore, it is unwise to
conclude that nuclear fusion will be achieved
in the immediate future.

his conclusion by _____.

b. criticizing the premises on which the

Line 50 the children. If it was not a mother's
place to look after children, whose
on earth was it? He himself had his
hands full with his brokerage
business. He could not be in two
Line 55 places at once; making a living for
his family on the street, and staying
home to see that no harm befell
them. He talked in a monotonous,
insistent way.
Line 60 Mrs. Pontellier sprang out of bed
and went into the next room. She
soon came back and sat on the edge
of the bed, leaning her head down on
the pillow. She said nothing, and
Line 65 refused to answer her husband when
he questioned her. When his cigar
was smoked out he went to bed, and
in half a minute was fast asleep.
Mrs. Pontellier was by that time
Line 70 thoroughly awake. She began to cry
a little, and wiped her eyes on the
sleeve of her nightgown. She went
out on the porch, where she sat
down in the wicker chair and began
Line 75 to rock gently to and fro.
It was then past midnight. The
cottages were all dark. There was
no sound abroad except the hooting
of an old owl and the everlasting
Line 80 voice of the sea, that broke like a
mournful lullaby upon the night.
The tears came so fast to Mrs.
Pontellier's eyes that the damp
sleeve of her nightgown no longer
Line 85 served to dry them. She went on
crying there, not caring any longer
to dry her face, her eyes, her arms.
She could not have told why she was
crying. Such experiences as the
Line 90 foregoing were not uncommon in her
married life. They seemed never
before to have weighed much
against the abundance of her
husband's kindness and a uniform
Line 95 devotion which had come to be tacit

and self-understood.
An indescribable oppression,
which seemed to generate in some
unfamiliar part of her consciousness,
Line 100 filled her whole being with a vague
anguish. It was like a shadow, like a
mist passing across her soul's
summer day. It was strange and
unfamiliar; it was a mood. She did
Line 105 not sit there inwardly upbraiding her
husband, lamenting at Fate, which
had directed her footsteps to the path
which they had taken. She was just
having a good cry all to herself. The
Line 110 mosquitoes succeeded in dispelling a
mood which might have held her
there in the darkness half a night
longer.
The following morning Mr.
Line 115 Pontellier was up in good time to
take the carriage which was to
convey him to the steamer at the
wharf. He was returning to the city
to his business, and they would not
Line 120 see him again at the Island till the
coming Saturday. He had regained
his composure, which seemed to
have been somewhat impaired the
night before. He was eager to be
Line 125 gone, as he looked forward to
a lively week in the financial center.

Selection B
These two passages were adapted from autobiographical works. In the first, a playwright describes
his first visit to a theater in the 1930's; in the second, an eighteenth-century writer describes two visits to
theaters in London.
Passage 1
I experienced a shock when I saw
a curtain go up for the first time. My
mother had taken me to see a play at
the Schubert Theater on Lenox
Line 5 Avenue in Harlem in New York
City. Here were living people
talking to one another inside a large
ship whose deck actually heaved
up and down with the swells of the
Line 10 sea. By this time I had been going to
the movies every Saturday afternoon
— Charlie Chaplin's little comedies,
adventure serials, Westerns. Yet
once you knew how they worked,
Line 15 movies, unlike the stage, left the
mind's grasp of reality intact since
the happenings were not in the
theater where you sat. But to see the
deck of the ship in the theater
Line 20 moving up and down, and people
appearing at the top of a ladder
or disappearing through a door —
where did they come from and
where did they go? Obviously into
Line 25 and out of the real world of Lenox
Avenue. This was alarming.
And so I learned that there were
two kinds of reality, but that the
stage was far more real. As the
Line 30 play's melodramatic story
developed, I began to feel anxious,
for there was a villain on board who
had a bomb and intended to blow
everybody up. All over the stage
Line 35 people were looking for him but he
appeared, furtive and silent, only
when the searchers were facing the
other way. They looked for him
behind posts and boxes and on top
Line 40 of beams, even after the audience
had seen him jump into a barrel and
pull the lid over him. People were
yelling, "He's in the barrel," but the

passengers were deaf. What
Line 45 anguish! The bomb would go off
any minute, and I kept clawing at
my mother's arm, at the same time
glancing at the theater's walls to
make sure that the whole thing
Line 50 was not really real. The villain was
finally caught, and we happily
walked out onto sunny Lenox
Avenue, saved again.
Passage 2
I was six years old when I saw
Line 55 my first play at the Old Drury. Upon
entering the theater, the first thing I
beheld was the green curtain that
veiled a heaven to my imagination.
What breathless anticipations I
Line 60 endured! I had seen something like it
in an edition of Shakespeare, an
illustration of the tent scene with
Diomede in Troilus and Cressida.
(A sight of that image can always
Line 65 bring back in a measure the feeling
of that evening.) The balconies at
that time, full of well-dressed men
and women, projected over the
orchestra pit; and the pilasters*
Line 70 reaching down were adorned with a
glistering substance resembling
sugar candy. The orchestra lights at
length rose. Once the bell sounded.
It was to ring out yet once again —
Line 75 and, incapable of the anticipation, I
reposed my shut eyes in a sort of
resignation upon my mother's lap. It
rang the second time. The curtain
drew up — and the play was
Line 80 Artaxerxes! Here was the court of
ancient Persia. I took no proper
interest in the action going on, for I
understood not its import. Instead,
all my feeling was absorbed in
Line 85 vision. Gorgeous costumes, gardens,
palaces, princesses, passed before
me. It was all enchantment and a
dream.
After the intervention of six or
Line 90 seven years I again entered the doors
of a theater. That old Artaxerxes
evening had never done ringing in
my fancy. I expected the same

feelings to come again with the same
Line 95 occasion. But we differ from
ourselves less at sixty and sixteen,
than the latter does from six. In that
interval what had I not lost! At six I
knew nothing, understood nothing,
Line 100 discriminated nothing. I felt all,
loved all, wondered all. I could not
tell how, but I had left the temple a
devotee, and was returned a
rationalist. The same things were
Line 105 there materially; but the emblem, the
reference, was gone. The green
curtain was no longer a veil, drawn
between two worlds, the unfolding
of which was to bring back past
Line 110 ages, but a certain quantity of green
material, which was to separate the
audience for a given time from
certain of their fellows who were to
come forward and pretend those
Line 115 parts. The lights — the orchestra
lights — came up a clumsy
machinery. The first ring, and the
second ring, was now but a trick of
the prompter's bell. The actors were
Line 120 men and women painted. I thought
the fault was in them; but it was in
myself, and the alteration which
those many centuries — those six
short years — had wrought in me.

Selection C
Passage 1
Cloning creates serious issues of identity and individual-
ity. The cloned person may experience concerns about his
or her distinctive identity, not only because the person will
be in genotype (genetic makeup) and appearance identical to
5 another human being, but, in this case, because he or she
may also be twin to the person who is the "father" or
"mother"—if one can still call them that. What would be
the psychic burdens of being the "child" or "parent" of your
twin? The cloned individual, moreover, will be saddled
10 with a genotype that has already lived. He or she will not
be fully a surprise to the world.
People will likely always compare a clone's performance in
life with that of the original. True, a cloned
person's nurture and circumstances in life will be different;
15 genotype is not exactly destiny. Still, one must also expect
parental and other efforts to shape this new life after the
"original—or at least to view the child with the original
vision always firmly in mind. Why else then would they
clone from the star basketball player, mathematician, and
20 beauty queen—or even dear old dad—in the first place?
Since the birth of Dolly, there has been a fair amount of
doublespeak on this matter of genetic identity. Experts have
rushed in to reassure the public that the clone would in no
way be the same person, or have any confusions about his
25 or her identity; they are pleased to point out that the clone
of film star Julia Roberts would not be Julia Roberts. Fair
enough. But one is shortchanging the truth by emphasizing
the additional importance of the environment, rearing, and
social setting: genotype obviously matters plenty. That,
30 after all, is the only reason to clone, whether human beings
or sheep. The odds that clones of basketball star Larry Bird
will play basketball are, I submit, infinitely greater than
they are for clones of jockey Willie Shoemaker.
Passage 2
Given all the brouhaha, you'd think it was crystal cleat
35 why cloning human beings is unethical. But what exactly
is wrong with it? What would a clone be? Well, he or she
would be a complete human being who happens to share.
the same genes with another person. Today, we call such
people identical twins. To my knowledge no one has
40 argued that twins are immoral. "You should treat all clones
like you would treat all monozygous [identical] twins or

triplets,"concludes Dr. H. Tristam Engelhardt, a professor
of medicine at Baylor and a philosopher at Rice University.
'That's it." It would be unethical to treat a human clone as
45 anything other than a human being.
Some argue that the existence of clones would undermine
the uniqueness of each human being. "Can individuality,
identity, and dignity be severed from genetic distinctive-
ness, and from belief in a person's open future?" asks
50 political thinker George Will. Will and others have
fallen under the sway of what one might call "genetic
essentialism," the belief that genes almost completely
determine who a person is. But a person who is a clone,
would live in a very different world from that of his or her
55 genetic predecessor. With greatly divergent experiences,
their brains would be wired differently. After all, even
twins who grow up together are separate people—distinct
individuals with different personalities and certainly no
lack of Will's "individuality, identity, and dignity."
60 But what about cloning exceptional human beings?
George Will put it this way: "Suppose a clone of
basketball star Michael Jordan, age 8, preferred violin to
basketball? Is it imaginable? If so, would it be tolerable
to the cloner?" Yes, it is imaginable, and the cloner would
65 just have to put up with violin recitals. Kids are not com-
mercial property. Overzealous parents regularly push their
children into sports, music, and dance lessons, but given the
stubborn nature of individuals, those parents rarely manage
to make kids stick forever to something they hate. A ban on:
70 cloning wouldn't abolish pushy parents.

Selection D
This passage is taken from a novel set in early twentieth-century England. Mrs. Deverell is the widow
of a shop-keeper who lived and worked in Volunteer Street; their daughter Angel has become a best-
selling novelist. Here, Mrs. Deverell finds herself in a new home that she and Angel share in the
prosperous village of Alderhurst.
"I never thought I would live in such a beautiful place,"

Mrs. Deverell told Angel when they first moved in. But
nowadays she often suffered from the lowering pain of
believing herself happy when she was not. "Who could
5 be miserable in such a place?" she asked. Yet, on misty
October evenings or on Sundays, when the church bells
began, sensations she had never known before came
over her.
She sometimes felt better when she went back to see
10 her friends on Volunteer Street; but it was a long way to
go. Angel discouraged the visits, and her friends seemed.
to have changed. Either they put out their best china and
thought twice before they said anything, or they were
defiantly informal—"You'll have to take us as you find
15 us"—and would persist in making remarks like "Pardon
the apron, but there's no servants here to polish the grate."
In each case, they were watching her for signs of grandeur
or condescension. She fell into little traps they laid and
then they were able to report to the neighbors. 'It hasn't
20 taken her long to start putting on airs." She had to be
especially careful to recognize everyone she met, and
walked up the street with an expression of anxiety which
was misinterpreted as disdain.
The name "Deverell Family Grocer" stayed "for a long
25 time over the shop, and she was pleased that it should,
although Angel frowned with annoyance when she heard
of it. Then one day the faded name was scraped and burnt

away, and on her next visit to Volunteer Street, she saw
that "Cubbage's Stores" was painted there instead. She felt
30 an unaccountable panic and dismay at the sight of this and
at the strange idea of other people and furniture in those
familiar rooms. "Very nice folk," she was told. "She's
so friendly. Always the same. And such lovely kiddies."
Mrs. Deverell felt slighted and wounded; going home
35 she was so preoccupied that she passed the wife of the
landlord of The Volunteer without seeing her. "1 wouldn't
expect Alderhurst people to speak to a bar keep's wife,"
the woman told everyone in the saloon bar. "Even though
it was our Gran who laid her husband out when he died."
40 All of their kindnesses were remembered and brooded
over; any past kindness Mrs. Deverell had done—and
they were many—only served to underline the change
which had come over her.
At a time of her life when she needed the security of
45 familiar things, these were put beyond her reach. It seemed
to her that she had wasted her years acquiring skills which
in the end were to be of no use to her: her weather-eye for
a good drying day; her careful ear for judging the gentle
singing sound of meat roasting in the oven; her touch for
50 the freshness of meat; and how, by smelling a cake, she
could tell if it were baked. These arts, which had taken
so long to perfect, fell now into disuse. She would never
again, she grieved, gather up a great fragrant line of
washing in her arms to carry indoors. One day when they
55 had first come to the new house, she had passed through
the courtyard where sheets were hanging out: she had
taken them in her hands and, finding them just at the right
stage of drying, had begun to unpeg them. They were
looped all about her shoulders when Angel caught her.
60 "Please leave work to the people who should do it," she
had said. "You will only give offense." She tried hard
not to give offense; but it was difficult. The smell of
ironing being done or the sound of eggs being whisked
set up a restlessness which she could scarcely control.
65 The relationship of mother and daughter seemed to
have been reversed, and Angel, now in her early twenties,
was the authoritative one; since girlhood she had been
taking on one responsibility after another, until she had
left her mother with nothing to perplex her but how to
70 while away the hours when the servants were busy and,
her daughter was at work. Fretfully, she would wander
around the house, bored, but afraid to interrupt; she was
like an intimidated child.

In the following passage from a newspaper commentary written in 1968, an architecture critic
discusses old theaters and concert halls.
After 50 years of life and 20 years of death, the great
Adler and Sullivan Auditorium in Chicago is back in
business again. Orchestra Hall, also in Chicago, was
beautifully spruced up for its sixty-eighth birthday. In
5 St. Louis, a 1925 movie palace has been successfully
transformed into Powell Symphony Hall, complete with
handsome bar from New York's demolished Metropolitan
Opera House.

Sentimentalism? Hardly. This is no more than a
10 practical coming of cultural age, a belated recognition
that fine old buildings frequently offer the most for the
money in an assortment of values, including cost, and
above all, that new cultural centers do not a culture
make. It indicates the dawning of certain sensibilities,
15 perspectives, and standards without which arts programs
are mockeries of everything the arts stand for.
The last decade has seen city after city rush pell-mell
into the promotion of great gobs of cultural real estate. It
has seen a few good new theaters and a lot of bad ones,
20 temples to bourgeois muses with all the panache of sub-
urban shopping centers. The practice has been to treat the
arts in chamber-of-commerce, rather than in creative,
terms. That is just as tragic as it sounds.
The trend toward preservation is significant not only
25 because it is saving and restoring some superior buildings
that are testimonials to the creative achievements of other
times, but also because it is bucking the conventional
wisdom of the conventional power structure that provides,
the backing for conventional cultural centers to house the,
30 arts.
That wisdom, as it comes true-blue from the hearts and
minds of real estate dealers and investment bankers, is that
you don't keep old buildings; they are obsolete. Anything
new is better than anything old and anything big is better
35 than anything small, and if a few cultural values are lost
along the way, it is not too large a price to pay. In addition,
the new, big buildings must be all in one place so they will
show. They'11 not only serve the arts, they'11 improve the
surrounding property values. Build now, and fill them later.
40 At the same time, tear down the past, rip out cultural
roots, erase tradition, rub out the architectural evidence that
the arts flowered earlier in our cities and enriched them and
that this enrichment is culture. Substitute a safe and sanitary
status symbol for the loss. Put up the shiny mediocrities of
45 the present and demolish the shabby masterpieces of the
past. That is the ironic other side of the "cultural explosion"
coin. In drama, and in life, irony and tragedy go hand in
hand.
Chicago's Auditorium is such a masterpiece. With its
50 glowing, golden ambiance, its soaring arches and super-
stage from which whispers can be heard in the far reaches
of the theater, it became a legend in its own time. One of
the great nineteenth-century works of Louis Sullivan and
Dankmar Adler and an anchor point of modern architectural
55 history, it has been an acknowledged model of acoustical
and aesthetic excellence. (Interestingly, the Auditorium is
a hard theater in which to install microphones today, and
many modern performers, untrained in balance and pro-
jection and reliant on technical mixing of sound, find it
60 hard to function in a near-perfect house.)
Until October 1967, the last performance at the Auditor-
ium was of Hellzapoppin' in 1941, and the last use of the

great stage was for bowling alleys during the Second World
War. Closed after that, it settled into decay for the next
65 20 years. Falling plaster filled the hall, and the golden ceil-
ing was partly ruined by broken roof drains. Last fall the
Auditorium reopened, not quite in its old glory, but close
to it. The splendors of the house were traced in the eight-
candlepower glory of carbon-filament light bulbs of the
70 same kind used in 1889 when the theater, and electricity,
were new. Their gentle brilliance picked out restored archi-
tectural features in warm gilt and umber.
We have never had greater technical means or expertise
to make our landmarks bloom. The question is no longer
75 whether we can bring old theaters back to new brilliance,
but whether we can fill them when they're done. As with
the new centers, that will be the acid cultural test.
