This passage isfrom Julie Iromuanya, Mr. and Mrs. Doctor. ©2015 by Julie Iromuanya. Ifihas just traveled toNebraska tojoin her husband, Job, who has been living there since the couple's marriage inNigeria. ?Have you eaten?? ?No.? ?Come now. We'll drop your baggage atthe house, tine and then we will meet other Nigerians atarestaurant. 5Emeka and Gladys. You'll like them.? He paused for a moment, as ifchoosing his words with care. ?You will like Gladys immediately. She isaclassical lady. But Emeka, you must become acquainted with him before you can understand his foolish humor.? 10 Apale-blue skyline rimmed with ash gray guided the Audi along the interstate. Job drove in silence until they reached ajunction and turned off onto a two-lane road. Zonta, the town that would be Ifi?s new home, was twenty or thirty miles south ofthe 15 Red Cloud reservation, and south ofZonta was Omaha, where Job said he went to medical school. They would meet Gladys and Emeka in Omaha for dinner. This was also where Job commuted tofor work each night. Zonta, Nebraska, was atown whose 20 name meant ?trusted flat waters.? The Indians had named itthat. Job told her this as they sped over concrete roads surrounded by flats ankle deep in snow. One year, he said, in the middle ofwinter, there were several hot days, and itall melted. ?River 25 drained into street,? Job said, thrusting one finger along the skyline. He had finally understood what the name meant. All the way to town they passed trees, skinny, brown, and gnarled like old hands. Snow wetted the 30 fingers. Overnight, there would be such afreeze that from a distance the trees would look silver. Later, this was the feature that pleased Ifi most when she stared out the window atnight while Job was away atthe hospital. Dusk melted into achalk white that floated and exploded into the sky. Job clicked the wipers, and they flipped back and forth atafrenetic pace, splitting the flakes. In defiance, they grew fatter and rimmed the windshield with dust that scattered on 40 the wind. ?Snow,? Ifi said as itslowly dawned on her. She had only read of it in books. This was snow, flaking on the car, the same asthe blanket laid on the grass. This isAmerica, she said toherself. She would scoop 45 itinto an envelope and mail itto Aunty. No, she would not do that. She laughed. Instead, she would take apicture for her little cousins. Without thinking, Ifi reached for the door handle. Job swerved the car. ?What are you doing? Are 50 you crazy?? Save for apickup truck that had passed many miles before, there was no one else on the road. ?Let?s stop. Iwould like tatouch it.? He gave her astrange look. ?We cannot be late to 55 dinner.? ?Darling,? Ifi said, settling on the word she had heard Aunty and Uncle use in the middle ofquarrels. ?Okie, okie,? he said. ?We will stop. We are not far from home.? 35 E>

11 60 They pulled off the road and parked inaclearing surrounded by twisted metal piping for afence. Clapboard sheds were spread across the fields. These were the county fairgrounds, where twice ayear, during the fair and on Independence Day, everything 65 was lit up. Farther still was just the outline of astring ofcorrugated-iron warehouses. Ifi opened her palms and let snow fall into them. She scooped itinto her hands, pressed them together. She placed itinher mouth and tasted. Itwas cold and 70 wet, like rain. That was all. She felt foolish, At first he sat inthe car, wiping away the fog on the inside of the windshield. Then he came out, his back against the car, asshe rose from the snow. She looked tohim like he imagined himself atnineteen, 75 walking the curious, ginger walk of feet unfamiliar with snow. She shivered. When her eyes met his, he said softly, ?Idid that aswell.? Snow was inher hands. Itmelted and ran along her palms and evaporated into the white at her feet. 80 Again she looked athim, and itsuddenly occurred to her. ?Ican do anything here,? she said, her eyes large and bright. When he looked ather again with aqueer expression, she elaborated. ?Ican be anything. Like you,? she said. ?Ican be adoctor inAmerica if |like.?

1 Questions 11-20 are based on the following Passages. Passage 1isadapted from aspeech delivered tothe New York County Lawyers? Luncheon Forum in1992 byJudge Miriam Cedarbaum, ?Women on the Federal Bench.? Passage 2s adapted from aspeech delivered tothe School ofLaw at the University ofCalifornia, Berkeley, in2001 by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, ?A Latina Judge's Voice.? Passage 1 Many women of my generation believed that separateness undermined equality, and we sought integration. Ihave never referred tomyself, for Une example, as awoman lawyer or awoman judge because Ihave always believed that those were not categories. That is, people are undoubtedly men and women, but lawyers and judges do not have genders. This isaviewpoint that isnow controversial, and is under attack by some feminist theorists who 10 propound the idea that women think differently from men, and that there are gender-based intellectual differences that should be recognized inthe work place... Although undoubtedly we are all affected by our 15 individual experiences and acculturation, our common legal education has ingrained inus the enormous importance in our democratic society of a tradition of independent and impartial judges. The preservation of this tradition depends on judicial 20 integrity, which isthe ability and willingness of upright judges to set aside, to the extent possible, their personal sympathies and prejudices in deciding legal disputes. This in turn requires ofjudges honest self-appraisal and the recognition and acceptance of 25 one?s own fallibility. In some cases, this ideal may be more easily said than accomplished. But, after more than six years as afederal trial judge, Ihave not seen any basis for believing that gender plays arole one way or the other inany particular judge's ability or 30 willingness to exercise self-restraint. Talso believe that agood judge should recognize as toall litigants, but especially as tocriminal defendants, that ?[t]here but for the grace ofGod go 1.? That is, that judges are members ofthe same 35 species asall the human beings who appear before us. Whether we call ithumility, humanity, or compassion, Ihave not observed differences in this quality among my colleagues that can fairly be explained by gender, The same can be said of wisdom 40 and intellect... . 1] Perhaps itisbecause ofmy own background that I find itdifficult to accept the notion that as judges or lawyers, men and women have fundamentally different approaches. Passage 2 45 While recognizing the potential effect of individual experiences on perception, Judge Cedarbaum nevertheless believes that judges must transcend their personal sympathies and prejudices and aspire toachieve agreater degree of fairness and 50 integrity based on the reason oflaw. Although Iagree with and attempt to work toward Judge Cedarbaum?s aspiration, Iwonder whether achieving that goal is possible inall or even in most cases. And Iwonder whether by ignoring our differences as women or 55 men ofcolor we doa disservice both to the law and society. ... Whether born from experience or inherent physiological or cultural differences, apossibility I abhor less or discount less than my colleague Judge 60 Cedarbaum, our gender and national origins may and will make a difference in our judging. Justice [Sandra Day] O'Connor has often been cited as saying that a wise old man and wise old woman will reach the same conclusion indeciding cases. ... |am also not 65 so sure that Iagree with the statement.... Let us not forget that wise men like Oliver Wendell Holmes and Justice [Benjamin] Cardozo voted on cases which upheld both sex and race discrimination inour society. Until 1972, no 70 Supreme Court case ever upheld the claim of a woman inagender discrimination case. |... believe that we should not be so myopic asto believe that others of different experiences or backgrounds are incapable of understanding the values and needs of people from a different group. Many are so capable. As Judge Cedarbaum pointed out tome, nine white men on the Supreme Court in the past have done so on many occasions and on many issues including Brown [v. Board ofEducation]. ao However, to understand takes time and effort, something that not all people are willing to give. For others, their experiences limit their ability to understand the experiences ofothers. Other[s] simply do not care. Hence, one must accept the proposition that adifference there will be by the presence of women and people ofcolor on the bench. Personal experiences affect the facts that judges choose tosee. 7 8 En

1 My hope isthat Iwill take the good from my experiences and extrapolate them further into areas g9¢ with which Iam unfamiliar. Isimply do not know exactly what that difference will be in my judging. But Jaccept there will be some based on my gender and my Latina heritage. The main purpose of the first paragraph of Passage 1 isto A) place Cedarbaum?s point ofview inaparticular cultural context. B) suggest Cedarbaum?s openness to the views of those who disagree with her. C) express Cedarbaum?s political solidarity with a group offeminist scholars. D) defend Cedarbaum?s position from the criticism of her colleagues. Which choice from Passage |best supports the idea that judges? personal backgrounds may be atodds with the professional responsibilities emphasized in their training? A) Lines 5-6 (?I have... categories?) B) Lines 14-18 (?Although ... iudges?) C) Lines 23-26 (?This ...accomplished?) D) Lines 36-40 (?Whether ...intellect?) As used inline 35, ?appear? most nearly means A) develop. B} resemble. C} are evident. D) are brought. In the first paragraph ofPassage 2(lines 45-56), Sotomayor indicates that race and gender differences among judges are A) necessary elements for achieving system-wide judicial integrity. B) inevitably problematic for people who dismiss their importance. C) ultimately damaging to impartial analysis. D) possibly beneficial to the public at large. As used inline 83, ?simply? most nearly means A) modestly. B) easily. C) frankly. D) barely. In the context of Sotomayor's speech, the sentences in lines 88-93, Passage 2(?My hope ...heritage?) serve mainly to A) qualify the evidence provided inthe passage with anew consideration. B) cast the main argument of the passage ina personal light. C) offer anote ofambivalence about the implications ofthe passage. D) summarize the nature of the life experiences outlined in the passage.











1 Questions 32-42 are based on the following Passage and supplementary material. This passage and accompanying graph are adapted from ?What History Says about Inequality and Technology.? ©2017 by The Economist Newspaper Limited. As more of the economy becomes automated, doomsayers worry that the gap between the haves and the have-nots will only grow, History shows, tine however, that this need not be so. 5 The recent rise in earnings for skilled workers isa rare historical phenomenon. Compiling records from churches, monasteries, colleges, guilds and governments, Gregory Clark, an economist atthe University of California, Davis, has put together a 10comprehensive dataset of English wages that stretches back to the 13th century. Mr Clark notes that in the past the skilled-wage premium, defined as the difference in wages [expressed as aratio] between craftsmen, such ascarpenters and masons, and unskilled labourers has been fairly stable, save for two sharp declines. The first drop came in the 14th century, and had nothing to do with technological change. Life expectancy in medieval England was short and interest rates were high, meaning that taking on the seven-year apprenticeship needed tobecome a craftsman came with aheavy opportunity cost. But interest rates started falling in this period, from around 10% in 1290 te7.5% in 1340. When the Black 25 Death struck England in 1348, wiping out athird of the population, interest rates fell further, to 5%, and apprenticeships became much more attractive. The increased supply ofskilled labour relative to unskilled workers drove down the wage premium. Data from 30 Jan Luiten van Zanden of Utrecht University show similar patterns inBelgium, France and the Netherlands. The second big decline inthe skilled-wage premium came after the Industrial Revolution. 35 Inventions like the power loom displaced artisans, and increased the relative demand for unskilled labour. Craftsmen whose skills took years tohone suddenly found themselves being replaced by machines operated by workers with just afew 40 months? training. (The Luddites! reacted by smashing the machines.) One study has found that the share of unskilled workers rose from 20% ofthe labour force inEngland in 1700 to 39% in 1850. The ratio of craftsmen?s wages to labourers? started tofall in the 45 early 1800s, and did not recover until 1960. Bi 1] Using a different inequality measure leads to slightly different results. Peter Lindert, also atthe University of California, Davis, says that as middle- skilled jobs in England disappeared, the Gini 50 coefficient ofhousehold earnings rose, peaking in 1800. The share ofearnings captured by the top 1% reached ahigh inaround 1870, But the two measures then went on to fall, not bottoming out until the mid-20th century. 55 What distinguishes the advances of the computer age from those ofthe Industrial Revolution isthat they have favoured skilled workers. So far, university degrees have been areliable proxy for skill but this may change as artificial intelligence starts taking jobs 60 away from white-collar workers. Projections from America?s Bureau of Labor Statistics show that four of the five fastest-growing occupations in the country involve personal care; none of those jobs requires a bachelor's degree. 65 In any case, toassume that current economic trends will persist istoassume an inefficient labour market. Ken Rogoff, an economist atHarvard, argues that as the wage premium fora particular group of workers rises, firms will have agreater incentive to 70 replace them. *Agroup ofworkers inEngland who protested machinery used in manufacturing, believing that itwas threatening their employment Craftsman Wage Relative to Laborer Wage.

1 1 Over the course ofthe passage, the main focus shifts from A) actriticism of current methods of measuring income inequality to asuggestion for abetter approach. B) adiscussion of historical trends in income inequality to an analysis ofmore recent ones. C) an overview ofpatterns in income inequality to an inquiry into the causes ofthis inequality. D) an analysis ofthe skilled-wage premium to a critique of other related measures. In the context of the passage asawhole, the phrase ?doomsayers worry? (line 2) serves mainly to A) emphasize that aparticular view isoverly negative. B) associate the author with aspecific school of economic thought. C) convey the full urgency ofacontemporary problem. D) suggest the biases ofa group of researchers. Which choice provides the best evidence for the idea that Clark's findings, discussed inthe second paragraph (lines 5-16), were part ofamore widespread phenomenon? A) Lines 17-18 (?The first ... change?) B) Lines 29-32 (?Data... Netherlands?) C) Lines 46-47 (?Using ...results?) D) Lines 55-57 (?What ...workers?) B12 H Based on the passage, itcan reasonably be concluded that there isastrong relationship between fluctuations inthe skilled-wage premium and fluctuations inthe A) average number ofyears unskilled laborers who take on apprenticeships spend incompleting them. B overall supply of industrial machines available for training apprentices. C) total number of workers inthe labor force ofa particular country inaparticular time period, D) balance ofskilled laborers to unskilled ones asa percentage ofaparticular country?s labor force. As used in line 51, ?captured? most nearly means A) confined. B) found. C) apprehended. D) acquired. The passage most strongly suggests that major advances in technology are likely turesult in A) an initial decrease in interest rates and wage premiums. B) arise in wages for craftsmen and other skilled workers. C) an overall increase injobs for both skilled and unskilled workers. D) aloss of jobs for certain types of skilled workers.
