Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the 
correct answer to each of the questions. 
 In seventeenth-century colonial North America, all day-to-day cooking was done in the fireplace. By 
and large, fireplaces were planned for cooking as well as for warmth. Those in the Northeast were 
usually four or five feet high, and in the South, they were often high enough for a person to walk into. 
A heavy timber called the mantel tree was used as a lintel to support the stonework above the 
fireplace opening. This timber might be scorched occasionally, but it was far enough in front of the 
rising column of heat to be safe from catching fire. 
 Two ledges were built across from each other on the inside of the chimney. On these rested the 
ends of a "lug pole" from which pots were suspended when cooking. Wood from a freshly cut tree was 
used for the lug pole, so it would resist heat, but it had to be replaced frequently because it dried out 
and charred, and was thus weakened. Sometimes the pole broke and the dinner fell into the fire. 
When iron became easier to obtain, it was used instead of wood for lug poles, and later fireplaces had 
pivoting metal rods to hang pots from. 
 Beside the fireplace and built as part of it was the oven. It was made like a small, secondary 
fireplace with a flue leading into the main chimney to draw out smoke. Sometimes the door of the oven 
faced the room, but most ovens were built with the opening facing into the fireplace. On baking days 
(usually once or twice a week) a roaring fire of "oven wood," consisting of brown maple sticks, was 
maintained in the oven until its walls were extremely hot. The embers were later removed, bread 
dough was put into the oven, and the oven was sealed shut until the bread was fully baked. 
 Not all baking was done in a big oven, however. Also used was an iron "bake kettle," which looked 
like a stewpot on legs and which had an iron lid. This is said to have worked well when it was placed in 
the fireplace, surrounded by glowing wood embers, with more embers piled on its lid.

 SEEING DOUBLE 
 Many scientists once believed that physical similarities between identical twins are genetic, 
while their personalities, intelligence, and other differences between them are an effect of their 
environment. Now scientists are discovering that the boundaries between genetic and environment 
are not so clear. 
 Identical twins Jim Springer and Jim Lewis were adopted as babies and raised by different 
couples. When the Jims finally met at age 39, they discovered they had plenty in common. Both were 
six feet tall, 180 pounds. They had the same smile and the same voice. But the similarities didn't stop 
at the physical features. They'd both had dogs named Toy. They had both married women named 
Linda, and then divorced them. They'd both been sheriffs, enjoyed carpentry, suffered severe 
headaches, and admitted to leaving love notes around the house for their wives. They had so much in 
common, it seemed unlikely that these were just coincidence. 
 When they compared the twins’ IQ scores, Bouchard and his team reached a surprising 
conclusion. They concluded that intelligence was mostly connected to genetics rather than to training 
or education. It seemed the differences in family and environment had little effect. 
 However, genes can’t control everything, argues geneticist Danielle Reed, who also studies 
twins. Reed’s research shows that though nothing can truly change our DNA, environmental 
differences that a child experiences before birth and in their first year can sometimes affect the way 
the DNA behaves, making even identical twins into very different people. 
Question 46: What is the passage mainly about? 
 A. the effects genes have on personality B. how identical twins are formed 
 C. the connection between male and female twins D. the differences between identical twins 
Question 47: The phrase “didn’t stop at” in paragraph 2 is closest meaning to ______. 
 A. had nothing to do with B. passed quickly by 
 C. went beyond D. changed more than 
Question 48: Who does the word “they” in paragraph 3 refer to? 
 A. the Jim twins B. Bouchard and his team 
 C. sets of twins D. Bouchard and twins 
Question 49: According to Bouchard and his team, what is intelligence mostly related to? 
 A. education B. parenting C. training D. genetics 
Question 50: According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? 
 A. Experiences can make identical twins behave differently. 
 B. Genes can control everything. 
 C. The environment in which identical twins live in their first year can change their DNA. 
 D. Personalities are only affected by the environment.
