SECTION III – READING

I.Read the following passage carefully and then answer the questions below
Traditionally the United States has been described as a melting pot, a place where the previous
identities of each immigrant group are melted down to create an intergrated, uniform society. Since the
1960s, many Americans have rejected the melting pot metaphor in favour of the image of the mosaic, a
picture created by assembling many small stones or tiles. In a mosaic, each peace retains its own distinctive
identity, while contributing to a larger design. Advocates of the mosaic metaphor assert that it better
represents the diverse multicultural society of the United States. Today, may Americans value their
immigrant heritage as an important part of their identity. More recent immigrant groups from Asia, such as
Vietnamese Americans and Korean Americans, have established communities alongside those populated by
the descendants of European immigrants, such as French Americans, German Americans, Irish Americans
and Italian Americans.

When we were in England last year, I went fishing with my friend, Peter. Early in the morning we
were sitting quietly by the side of the lake when we had an unpleasant surprise. We saw a duck come along
with three ducklings padding cheerfully behind her. As we watched them, there was a sudden swirl in the
water. We caught a glimpse of the vicious jaws of a pike- a fish which is rather like a freshwater shark- and
one of the ducklings was dragged below the surface.
This incident made Peter furious. He vowed to catch the pike. On three successive mornings we
returned to the vicinity and used several different kinds of bait. On the third day Peter was lucky. Using an
artificial frog as bait, he managed to hook the monster. There was a desperate fight but Peter was
determined to capture the pike and succeeded. When he had got it ashore and killed it, he wieghed the fish
and found that it scaled nearly thirty pounds- a record for that district.

A. He was watching the ducks. C. He was waiting for the pike to appear.
B. He wasn’t very talkative. D. He was fishing
2. To what does surprise in line 3 probably refer?
A. to the duck. B. to the ducklings.
C. to the action of the pike. D. to the time of the day.
3. What were Peter’s feelings about the incident two days later?
A. He caught and killed the pike. C. He vowed that he would catch the remaining
ducklings
B. He remained determined to catch the pike. D. He caught a frog and used it as bait for the pike.
4. How much was the pike worth?
A. about thirty pounds.
B. about two hundred and forty dollars.
