Harvard University, today recognized as part of the top echelon of the
world’s universities, came from very inauspicious and humble beginning.
This oldest of American universities was founded in 1636, just sixteen
years after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth. Included in the puritan emigrants to the
Massachusetts colony during this period were more than 100 graduates of England’s
prestigious Oxford and Cambridge universities, and these universities graduates in the
New Word were determined that their sons would have the same educational
opportunities that they themselves had had, Because of this support in the colony for an
institution of higher learning, the General Court of Massachusetts appropriated 400
pounds for a college in October of 1636 and early the following year decided on a parcel
of land for the school; this land was in an area called Newetowne, which was later
renamed Cambridge after its English cousin and is the site of t he present-day university.
When a young minister named John Harvard, who came from the
neighboring town of Charlestowne, died from tuberculosis in 1638, he willed half of his
estate of 1,700 pounds to the fledgling college. In spite of the fact that only half of the
bequest was actually paid, the General Court named the college after the minister in
appreciation for what he had done. The amount of the bequest may not have been large,
particularly by today’s standard, but it was more than the General Court had found it
necessary to appropriate in order to open the college.
Henry Dunster was appointed the first president of Harvard in 1640, and it
should be noted that in addition to serving as president, he was also the entire faculty,
with an entering freshmen class of four students. Although the staff did expand
somewhat, for the first century of its existence the entire teaching staff consisted of the
president and three or four tutors.

D. rather undemocratic

Question 58: The pronoun “they” in the second paragraph refers to_____.
A. Oxford and Cambridge universities

B. university graduates

C. sons

D. educational opportunities

Question 59: The “pounds” in the second paragraph are probably_______.
A. Types of books

B. college students

C. units of money

D. school campuses

Question 60: The “ English cousin” in the second paragraph refers to a_______.
A. City

B. relative

C. person

D. court

Question 61: Which of the following is NOT mentioned about John Harvard?

C. side by side

D. more or less

cancer. Eventually, in search of fame, she left college and went to New York with only her suitcase and a

few dollars.

Hugely successful, often tlirough controversy, Madorura has always known what the public and media
',r'ant. She has gone fiorr shocking clothes and pop songs to setting trends and family life. She caused
disagreement by playing feminist roles in films and featuring in pop videos with images of Jesus Christ.

all her vears and different styles and phases, she has always been able to give the general
pubiic entertairulent. Madonna has become one of the biggest stars on the planet, and has sold over 100
miliion records world',.^ride, making her one of the highest-eaming entertainers of her generation.
