 The election of Andrew Jackson to the presidency in 1928 marked the political ascendancy of the 
“common man” in American politics. 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. 
 2 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 thi 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.”

 A. a house style was called Jackson B. Jackson acquired fame 
 C. people criticized Jackson D. Jackson was a popular boy’s name

 A. destroyed the White House

Question 31. 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 32. The word “brutal” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to_______

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct

 Rachel Carson was born in 1907 in Springsdale, Pennsylvania. She studied biology at college and 
zoology at Johns Hopkins University, where she received her master’s degree in 1933. In 1936, she was hired by 
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, where she worked most of her life. 
 Carson’s first book, Under the Sea Wind, was published in 1941. It received excellent reviews, but sales were 
poor until it was reissued in 1952. In that year she published The Sea Around Us, which provided a fascinating 
look beneath the ocean’s surface, emphasizing human history as well as geology and marine biology. Her 
imagery and language had a poetic quality. Carson consulted no less than 1,000 printed sources. She had 
voluminous correspondence and frequent discussions with experts in the field. However, she always realized the 
limitations of her nontechnical readers. 
 In 1962, Carson published Silent Spring, a book that sparked considerable controversy. It proved how much 
harm was done by the uncontrolled, reckless use of insecticides. She detailed how they poison the food supply of 
animals, kill birds and fish, and contaminate human food. At the time, spokesmen for the chemical industry 
mounted personal attacks against Carson and issued propaganda to indicate that her findings were flawed.
