When a German couple noticed a man's head and shoulder sticking out of a glacier in the Austrian Alps recently, they made history. The frozen corpse was about five feet_11 and scientists who helicoptered to the site determined that it was 4,000 years old- the first_12 body ever found from the Bronze Age. Mummified by the wind and snow, he came 13 with skin, bones, internal organs, and fingernails. He was 14 in leather shoes and finely stitched leather suit, insulated with hay. An array of weapons and equipment was found alongside him 15 a leather quiver with fourteen arrows, a stone necklace, a fire flint, a knife, and an ax with a crude bronze head.
"The find is of16scientific meaning,"said Konrad Spindler,professor of Early and Primeval History at the University of Innsbruck, who is investigating the 17 . Skeletal remains of buried corpses have been excavated before in Bronze Age graves. But "the iceman," as Austrian newspapers dubbed him, was going about the normal course of life when he died 18 the ages of 20 and 40, which means he should yield a treasure- trove of information about conditions 4,000 years ago. Scientists plan to 19 the contents of his stomach and intestine for clues to the Bronze Age diet, illnesses, and parasites. They also hoped to 2o the glacier site further for companions.

III. Reading Comprehension
Directions: Each of the passages below is followed by some questions. For each question there are four answers marked A, B, C and D. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET. (20 points, 2 points each)
Questions 21~25 are based on the following passage.
The United States is a country made up of many different races. Usually they are mixed together and can't be told from one another. But many of them still talk about where their ancestors came from. It is something they are proud of.
The original Americans, of course were the Indians. The so-called white men who then came were mostly from England. But many came from other countries like Germany and France.
One problem the United States has always had is discrimination. As new groups came to the United States they found they were discriminated against. First it was the Irish and Italians. Later it was the blacks. Almost every group has been able to finally escape this discrimination. The only immigrants who have not are the blacks. Surprisingly enough the worst discrimination today is shown towards the Indians.
One reason the Indians are discriminated against is that they have tried so hard to keep their identity. Of course they are not the only ones who have done so.The Japanese have their Little Tokyo in Los Angeles and the Chinese a Chinatown in New York. The Dutch settlement in Pennsylvania also stays separate from other people. Their towns are like something from the 19th century. The Indians have a different reason from the other groups for staying separately. They live separately for religious reasons rather than keep together in a racial group.
Although some groups have kept themselves separate and others have been discriminated against, all groups have helped make the United States a great country. There is no group that has not helped in some way. And there is no group that can say they have done the most to make it a great country.
Many people still come from other countries to help the United States grow. A good example is the American project that let a man walk on the moon. It was a scientist from Germany who was most responsible for doing that. It is certain that in the future the United States will still need the help of people from all racial groups to remain a great country.

Questions 26~30 are based on the following passage.
Life in the twentieth century demands preparation. Today, all individuals in a country must have adequate schooling to prepare them for their work as well as for their responsibilities as citizens. With this in mind,national leaders everywhere are placing more emphasis on the education of the young.
In the United States, government officials, parents, and teachers are working hard to give the children - tomorrow's decision makers-the best preparation available.
There is no national school policy in the United States. Each of the fifty states makes its own rules and regulations for its schools, but there are many similarities among the fifty school systems. Publie schools in all states are supported by taxes paid by the ctizens of the individual state. In most states the children are required to attend school until they reach the age of sixteen.
When they become six years old,children begin elementary school. After six years in elementary school,they go into junior high school and remain there for three years. The last three years of their public school education are spent in senior high school,from which they graduate at the age of eighteen.
A great number of high school graduates continue their education in one of the many colleges or universities in the country. After four years, they receive a Bachelor's degree.Some continue studying for a Master's degree and perhaps a Doetor's degree.
