Philosophy in the second half of the 19th century was based more on biology and history than on
mathematics and physics. Revolutionary thought drifted away from metaphysics and epistemology
and shifted more towards ideologies in science, politics, and sociology. Pragmatism became the
most vigorous school of thought in American philosophy during this time, and it continued the
empiricist tradition of grounding knowledge on experience and stressing the inductive procedures
of experimental science. The three most important pragmatists of this period were the American
philosophers Charles Peirce (1839-1914), considered to be the first of the American pragmatists,
William James (1842-1910), the first great American psychologist, and John Dewey (1859- 1952),
who further developed the pragmatic principles of Peirce and James into a comprehensive system
of thought that he called “experimental naturalism”, or “instrumentalism”.
Pragmatism was generally critical of traditional western philosophy, especially the notion that there
are absolute truths and absolute values. In contrast, Josiah Royce (1855- 1916), was a leading
American exponent of idealism at this time, who believed in an absolute truth and held that human
thought and the external world were unified. Pragmatism called for ideas and theories to be tested
6/8/22, 1:19 PM Print
in practice, assessing whether they produced desirable or undesirable results. Although

pragmatism was popular for a time in Europe, most agree that it epitomized the American faith in
know-how and practicality, and the equally American distrust of abstract theories and ideologies.
Pragmatism is best understood in its historical and cultural context. It arose during a period of rapid
scientific advancement, industrialization, and material progress; a time when the theory of
evolution suggested to many thinkers that humanity and society are in a perpetual state of
progress. This period also saw a decline in traditional religious beliefs and values. As a result, it
became necessary to rethink fundamental ideas about values, religion, science, community, and
individuality. Pragmatists regarded all theories and institutions as tentative hypotheses and
solutions. According to their critics, the pragmatist’s refusal to affirm any absolutes carried negative
implications for society, challenging the foundations of society’s institutions.

The study of the astronomical practices, celestial lore, mythologies, religions and world-views of
all ancient cultures is called archaeoastronomy. It is described, in essence, as the "anthropology of
astronomy", to distinguish it from the "history of astronomy". Many of the great monuments and
ceremonial constructions of early civilizations were astronomically aligned, and two well-known
ancient archaeological sites seem to have had an astronomical purpose. The Orion mystery, as it
is dubbed, purports that the geometry and brightness of the stars in the Orion constellation are
mirrored in the alignment and size of the great pyramids of Egypt. While this claim remains
hypothetical, it is nevertheless clear that ancient Egyptians incorporated astronomy with
architecture. In the Temple of Abu Simbel, for example, sunlight penetrates a sacred chamber to
illuminate a statue of Ramses on October 18, which ushered in the start of the Egyptian civil year.
Astronomy did not exist on its own, however, but as one limb of a larger body whose other limbs
included agriculture and the after-life. In this sense, astronomy linked the two themes humans are
most obsessed with: life and death.
Around the same period, another monument was erected that combines religion, architecture and
astronomy. Stonehenge was built in three separate stages, starting in approximately 3000 B.C.
Mostly it remains a mystery, but two clues offer some enlightenment. One is that the megalithic
arrangement is not random nor purely aesthetic but astronomical: It marks the solstice and lunar
phases. The other is that archaeological excavations have revealed it was also used in religious
ceremonies. Chinese records suggest their own astronomical observations dated from the same
period; Indian sacred books point to earlier observations; and Babylonian clay tablets show
Chaldean priests had been observing the sky (including the motion of the visible planets and of
eclipses) shortly thereafter. But the earliest physical vestige of an observatory in fact, lies in
southern Egypt. Surprisingly it is probably not the product of a Semitic (Syrian or Babylonian)
peoples but rather sub-Saharan, as evidenced by analysis of a human jawbone found on site. The
Nabta site is the African equivalent of Stonehenge except it predates it by some 1,500 years.

The Moon has been worshipped by primitive peoples and has inspired humans to create
everything from lunar calendars to love sonnets, but what do we really know about it? The most
accepted theory about the origin of the Moon is that it was formed of the debris from a massive
collision with the young Earth about 4.6 billion years ago. A huge body, perhaps the size of Mars,
struck the Earth, throwing out an immense amount of debris that coalesced and cooled in orbit
around the Earth.
The development of Earth is inextricably linked to the moon; the Moon’s gravitational influence
upon the Earth is the primary cause of ocean tides. In fact, the Moon has more than twice the
effect upon the tides than does the Sun. The Moon makes one rotation and completes a revolution
around the Earth every 27 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes. This synchronous rotation is caused by
an uneven distribution of mass in the Moon (essentially, it is heavier on one side than the other)
and has allowed the Earth’s gravity to keep one side of the Moon permanently facing Earth. It is an
average distance from Earth of 384,403 km.
The Moon has no atmosphere; without an atmosphere, the Moon has nothing to protect it from
meteorite impacts, and thus the surface of the Moon is covered with impact craters, both large
and small. The Moon also has no active tectonic or volcanic activity, so the erosive effects of
atmospheric weathering, tectonic shifts, and volcanic upheavals that tend to erase and reform the
Earth’s surface features are not at work on the Moon. In fact, even tiny surface features such as
the footprint left by an astronaut in the lunar soil are likely to last for millions of years, unless
obliterated by a chance meteorite strike. The surface gravity of the Moon is about one-sixth that of
the Earth’s. Therefore, a man weighing 82 kilograms on Earth would only weigh 14 kilograms on
the Moon. The geographical features of the Earth most like that of the Moon are, in fact, places
such as the Hawaiian volcanic craters and the huge meteor crater in Arizona. The climate of the
Moon is very unlike either Hawaii or Arizona, however; in fact the temperature on the Moon ranges
between 123 degrees C. to – 233 degrees C.
41. What is the passage

primarily about?
A. the
Moon’s effect upon the Earth
B. the
origin of the Moon
6/8/22, 1:19 PM Print
C. what
we know about the Moon and its differences to Earth
D. a
comparison of the Moon and the Earth
around the Earth.
42. The word “massive” in

A. unavoidable
B. dense
C. huge
D. impressive
around the Earth.

43. The word “debris” in

A. rubbish
B. satellites
C. moons
D. earth
around the Earth.
6/8/22, 1:19 PM Print

passage, the Moon is
A. older
than the Earth
B. protected
by a dense atmosphere
C. composed
of a few active volcanoes
D. the
primary cause of Earth’s ocean tides
around the Earth.

distributed
C. Orderly
6/8/22, 1:19 PM Print

show the result of the Moon not having an atmosphere
B. to
show the result of the Moon not having active tectonic or volcanic activity
C. to
explain why the Moon has no plant life because of meteorites
D. to
explain the corrosive effects of atmospheric weathering
around the Earth.

19 is closest in meaning to
A. change
B. impact
C. obliterate
D. erupt
around the Earth.

is heavier on one side than the other
C. it
is unable to protect itself from meteorite attacks

C. people
living in Hawaii and Arizona would feel at home on the Moon
D. Mars
