Part 1:Questions 25-29 are based on the fOllwing passage. 10 points,2 points each
It's very difficult to describe the"average"American Most Americans are Caucasian,but America cannot be described as a white country.Most Americans are Christians,but the United States is not,a Christian country. There is no official laneuage in the United States English may be tbe language of most Americans,yet it is not the language by law. At least 32 million Americans use another language.Between 1980 and 1990 there was a 38 percenl lncrease in the number of people who speak a language other than English as their first language.
It is not surprising to go into shops in Miami where the only language that is spoken is the Cuban dialect of Spanish,or to go into a shop in New York where Chinese is the first and perhaps only language of the shopkeeper and his employees.
The United States is a nation Of immigrants for two reasons ,First,America takes in a langer number of immigrants from other countries that any other nation,and the nation was settled and built by immigrants and their descendants. It would be misleading, however,to say that the nation was made of groups of immigrants. In 1990 more thane 90 percent of the people in the United States were born there.
Many ef the ethnic eroups coming to America quickly blended in with the rest of the citizens others have sought to keep their ethnic identities. Newer immigrant groups have kept their identities more often than groups which entered in the 19th Century. Mony groups have inter-married and defining their groups seem more difficult.

letters in the space indieated on the answer sheet.
25.A dialect is--·
A.a conversation B.a different form of a language

Part 2:Questioils 30-34 are based on the following passage. 10 points,2 Points each
Architecture
America's unmistakable contrlbution to architecture has been the skyscraper, whOse bold,thrusting lines have made it the symbol of capitalist energy. Made possible by new constuction techniques and the invention of the elevator, the first skyscraper went up in Chicago in 1884.
Many of the most graceful early towers were designed by Louis Sullivan(1856-1924), America's first great modern architect. His most talenled student was Frank Lloyd Wright (1869--1959), who spent much of his career designing private residences with matching forniture and generous use of open space. One of his best-known buildings, however,is a public one:the Gueeenheim Museum in New York City.
European architects who emigrated to the United States before World WarⅡlaunched what became a dominant movement in archilecture, the International Style. Perhaps tbe most influcntial of these immigrants were Ludwig Mies van der ROhe(1886-1969) and Walter Gropius(1883-1969),both former directors of Germany's famous design school, the Bauhaus.Based on geometric form, buildings in their style bave been both praised as monuments to American corporate life and dismissed as"glass boxes,"In reaction,younger American architects such as Michael Graves(1945--)have rejected the austere,boxy look in favor of"postmodern"buildings with striking contours and bold decoration that alludes to historical styles of archirecture.
