Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
Tulips are Old World, rather than New World, plants, with the origins of the species lying in Central
Asia. They became an integral part of the gardens of the Ottoman Empire from the sixteenth century
onward, and, soon after, part of European life as well. Holland, in particular, became famous for its
cultivation of the flower.
A tenuous line marked the advance of the tulip to the New World, where it was unknown in the wild.
The first Dutch colonies in North America had been established in New Netherlands by the Dutch West
India Company in 1624, and one individual who settled in New Amsterdam (today's Manhattan section of
New York City) in 1642 described the flowers that bravely colonized the settlers' gardens. They were the
same flowers seen in Dutch still-life paintings of the time: crown imperials, roses, carnations, and of course
tulips. They flourished in Pennsylvania too, where in 1698 William Penn received a report of John
Tateham's "Great and Stately Palace," its garden full of tulips. By 1760, Boston newspapers were
advertising 50 different kinds of mixed tulip "roots." But the length of the journey between Europe and North
America created many difficulties. Thomas Hancock, an English settler, wrote thanking his plant supplier for
a gift of some tulip bulbs from England, but his letter the following year grumbled that they were all dead.
Tulips arrived in Holland, Michigan, with a later wave of early nineteenth-century Dutch immigrants
who quickly colonized the plains of Michigan. Together with many other Dutch settlements, such as the one
at Pella, Iowa, they established a regular demand for European plants. The demand was bravely met by a

A. They contained a wider variety of tulips than ever before.
B. They grew in size in order to provide enough plants to export to the New World.
C. They contained many new types of North American plants.
D. They decreased in size on the estates of wealthy people.
Question 40: The passage mentions which of the following as a problem associated with the importation of
tulips into North America?
A. Settlers knew little about how to cultivate them.
B. They were no longer fashionable by the time they arrived.
C. Orders often took six months or longer to fill.
D. They often failed to survive the journey.

B. The referee stopped playing football and blowing his whistle.
C. Having stopped the football match, the referee blew his whistle.
D. The referee stopped the football game before he blew his whistle.
Question 42: He is a successful man in his career. He possesses a large number of shares of the
company.
A. Given a large number of shares by the company he possesses, he is successful in his career.
