One of the most popular literary figures in American literature is a woman who spent almost half
of her long life in China, a country on a continent thousands of miles from the United States. In
her lifetime she earned this country's most highly acclaimed literary award: the Pulitzer Prize,
and also the most prestigious form of literary recognition in the world, the Nobel Prize for
Literature. Pearl S. Buck was almost a household word throughout much of her lifetime because
of her prolific literary output, which consisted of some eighty - five published works, including
several dozen novels, six collections of short stories, fourteen books for children, and more than
a dozen works of nonfiction. When she was eighty years old, some twenty - five volumes were
awaiting publication. Many of those books were set in China, the land in which she spent so
much of her life. Her books and her life served as a bridge between the cultures of the East and
the West. As the product of those two cultures she became as the described herself, "mentally
bifocal." Her unique background made her into an unusually interesting and versatile human
being. As we examine the life of Pearl Buck, we cannot help but be aware that we are in fact
meeting three separate people: a wife and mother, an internationally famous writer and a
humanitarian and philanthropist. One cannot really get to know Pearl Buck without learning
about each of the three. Though honored in her lifetime with the William Dean Howell Medal of
the American Academy of Arts and Letters in addition to the Nobel and Pulitzer prizes. Pearl
Buck as a total human being, not only a famous author. is a captivating subject of study.

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 following questions.
The election of Andrew Jackson to the presidency in 1928 marked the political ascendancy of the
“common man” in American politics. Whereas all previous presidents had been Easterners from wellto-do families, Jackson was a self-made man of modest wealth from the West. Born in 1767, Jackson
fought in the American Revolution, in which many of his relatives died. Afterwards, he studied law
and moved to the Western District of North California. When that territory became the state of
Tennessee, Jackson was elected the state's first congressman. His name became a household
word during the war of 1812, when, as a U.S Army major general, he led troops against the Creek
Indians in the Mississippi Territory and later defeated the British at New Orleans.
After his presidential inauguration, Jackson rode on horseback to the White House to attend a
private party. Crowds of well-wishers suddenly appeared at the reception and nearly destroyed the
White House as they tried to glimpse the new president. The common man had made a dramatic
entrance onto the national political scene.
Jackson's two terms moved American society toward truer democracy. Many states abandoned
property requirements for voting. Elected officials began to act more truly as representatives of the
people than as their leaders. As president of the common man, Jackson waged a war against the Bank
of the United States, vetoing the bill that re-chartered the institution, declaring it a dangerous
monopoly that profited the wealthy few.
Although he had built his reputation as an Indian fighter during the War of 1812, Jackson was not
an Indian hater. He adopted what was at the time considered an enlightened solution to the Indian
problem-removal. Many tribes submitted peacefully to being moved to the West. Others were
marched by force to the Indian Territory, under brutal conditions, along what the Cherokees called
the Trail of Tears.
One of Andrew Jackson's most enduring legacies was the Democratic Party, which under him
became a highly organized political party. In opposition to the Democrats were the Whigs, a party
that attracted supporters of the Bank of the United States and opposed the tyranny of the man called
“King Andrew”. A less specific but more basic legacy is the populist philosophy of politics that still
bears the name “Jacksonian Democracy.”
Question 37: The author's perspective toward Andrew Jackson could be best described as . A. critical
B. emotional C. personal D. historical
Question 38: The phrase „became the household word” in paragraph 1 means that . A. a house style
was called Jackson. B. Jackson acquired fame. C. people criticized Jackson. D. Jackson was a popular
boy's name
Question 39: The author suggests that Jackson's election and inauguration A.destroyed the White
House B.brought a new style to the presidency. C.made a lot of common people angry. D.put a
military man in the White House for the first time.
Question 40: The word “institution” in paragraph 3 refers to . A. the presidency of the United States B.
American society. C. The Bank of the United States. D. democracy
Question 41: According to the passage, why did Jackson oppose the Bank of the United States? A.He
thought it benefited only rich people. B.It started a war. C.It opposed electing him “King Andrew”. D.It
opposed giving common people the right to vote.
Question 42: According to the passage, Jackson's policy toward American Indians was . A. developed
during the War of 1812. B. forceful and cruel C. considered his greatest achievement. D. considered
progressive at the time.
Question 43: Which of the following is NOT attributed to Andrew Jackson? A. The Whig Party. B.
Jacksonian Democracy. C. The rise of the common man. D. The Democratic Party.
