When Time magazine declared its 2006 person of theyear to be 'You', the magazine was pointing to anundeniable reality: anyone with an Internetconnection can be a reporter, political commentator, cultural critic, or media producer. Around the sametime, the media scholar H. Jenkins and hiscolleagues published a paper appreciating the'participatory cultures' of creation and sharing, mentorship, and civic engagement that wereemerging online, especially among young people.Although Time did not explicitly frame participation inthe new media as a youth phenomenon, most of thefifteen 'citizens of digital democracy' who werefeatured in its December 13 article were under theage of thirty-five. Jenkins and his colleagues stronglysuggest that young people are especially well-poisedto take full advantage of Web 2.0. On the other hand, ever since digital technologies were made available, scholars, educators, policymakers, and parents havebeen debating their implications for young

In England, transportation had improved a great deal during the years before 1830, but moving heavy materials, particularly coal, remained a problem. It is therefore significant that the first modern railway, built in 1825 for the
transportation of coal, ran from the Durham coal field of Stockton to Darlington near the coast. Coal had traditionally been transported short distances via tramways, or tracks along which horses pulled coal carts. The Stockton-t--Darlington railway was a logical extension of a tramway, designed to answer the transportation needs arising from constantly expanding industrialization. The man primarily responsible for the design of the first steam railway was George Stephenson, a self-educated engineer who had not learned to read until he was seventeen. The locomotives on the Stockton-Darlington line travelled at fifteen miles an hour, the fastest rate at which machines had yet moved goods overland. Soon they would move people as well, transforming transportation in the process.
55. It is emphasized in the passage that George Stephenson, who designed the first steam railway, ----..
A) developed new techniques in order to increase the speed of locomotives B) was one of the partners who owned the
Durham coal field of Stockton C) had been previously involved in the
solution of various other problems concerning transportation
D) had already distinguished himself by his achievements as an engineer
E) had not received formal education to become an engineer
56. According to the passage, much improvement ----..
A) was needed for an efficient use of
tramways in the transportation of all sorts of goods
B) had been achieved in transportation by 1830 in England
C) was not expected in the transportation of coal when the first railway was built in 1825
D) was needed in the construction of railways for the development of England
E) had been made before Stephenson in the design of locomotives
57. Attention is drawn in the passage to the fact that, in the early decades of the nineteenth century, ----..
A) England made great advances in the design and manufacture of machines B) the production of coal in England was
technically much improved
C) Darlington developed into a major port for England‘s export of coal
D) England was in a continuous process of industrial growth
E) engineering was not yet a profession that was popular in England
58. It is clear from the passage that the steam railway ----..
A) had been in use in England before Stephenson introduced new techniques B) remained a local facility and played no
role in the industrialization of England C) was a solution to meet the transportation
needs of England‘s industry
D) was invented in the first place for travel between Stockton and Darlington
E) had little impact on the transformation of transportation in nineteenth-century England

Wildfires are an important environmental hazard inmany geographical areas. Those areas most prone towildfires have wet seasons followed by dry seasons.Vegetation that grows and
accumulates during thewet season dries out enough during the dry seasonto burn easily. When lightning hits the ground, itignites the dry organic material, and a fire spreadsthrough the area. Actually fires have several effectson the environment. First, burning frees the
mineralsthat are locked in organic matter. The ashesremaining after a fire are rich in
potassium, phosphorus, calcium, and other minerals essential forplant growth. Thus,
vegetation flourishes following afire. Second, fire removes plant cover and exposesthe soil, which stimulates the germination of seedsrequiring bare soil, and encourages the growth ofshade-intolerant plants. Third, fire can causeincreased soil erosion because it removes plantcover, leaving the soil more vulnerable to wind andwater.
59. According to the passage, soil erosion ----..
A) is undoubtedly the most adverse effect that wildfires have on areas where plant cover is thick due to heavy vegetation B) can happen in an area which, due to
wildfires, has lost its plant cover, whereby the soil has become exposed to wind and water
C) can be prevented in areas prone to wildfires just as strict measures are taken to maintain adequate plant cover
D) extensively undermines environmental sustainability because it not only removes plant cover, but also prevents plant growth
E) is mainly caused by wind and water, which destroy the plant cover of an area and turn the area into an arid land
60. It is clear from the passage that the areas withvegetation, where a wet season is followed by adry season, ----..
A) are most suitable for the germination of plant seeds
B) usually have a vast range of environmental diversity
C) maintain their plant cover and, therefore, are much prone to soil erosion
D) are usually rich in various minerals that are essential for plant growth
E) are most vulnerable to wildfires
61. As one learns from the passage, the reason whya wildfire is followed by vegetation growth is that----..
A) the minerals in the soil, especially potassium, phosphorus, and calcium, are preserved perfectly
B) soil erosion takes a long time and, therefore, plants have time to grow up C) plant seeds in the soil are unaffected by
the fire and begin to germinate in the wet season
D) the ashes of the burnt organic matter contain many minerals indispensable for plants
E) the area where the fires have taken place becomes suitable for shade-intolerant plants
62. One understands from the passage that, while thewet season is favourable for vegetation, ----..
A) the dry season ushers in the danger of fire B) it causes a great deal of soil erosion C) it leads to the depletion of minerals in the
soil
D) the dry season stimulates the germination of seeds
E) the growth of plants largely depends on the condition of the soil
