[24-25] A misuse of statistics occurs when a statistical argument asserts a falsehood. In the period since statistics began to play a significant role in society, they have often been misused. In some cases, the misuse was accidental. In others, it was purposeful and for the gain of the perpetrator.

For example, in medical science, correcting a falsehood may (a)________ decades and (b)________ lives. Misuses can be easy to fall into.

26-28] For many American voters, religion influences both the political agenda they embrace and the particular stand they adopt on various policy positions. While not all values necessarily derive from religion, religion frequently serves as the basis of value formation for many Americans. However, not all policy proposals are closely linked to religious values. Policy proposals that are more economic and incremental in nature (e.g., whether the minimum wage should be increased by a certain amount) are less likely to be strongly correlated with religious values. But, even in such circumstances, there is a second way in which religion may be linked to political attitudes, policy positions, and candidate preferences--as a basis of group identity. While religious identities, for some voters, may be latent in some elections but salient in others, still religious group identities (as a Muslim, Jew, Catholic, or an evangelical Protestant, etc.) do affect the ways in which a voter relates to political campaigns and candidates. Especially when a voter’s religious group becomes closely linked to a candidate in terms of their religious identity, then that association is likely to further color and shape the policy positions the voter adopts. rom the passage that

③ Religious fundamentalists attempt to control American politics.

④ American voters have become more conservative after 9/11 terror.

⑤ Religion has less influence on voters in America than in other countries.

[29-31] The essence of capitalism is that the basic means of production are not socially but privately owned, and that decisions about production are therefore in the hands of a group occupying a minority position in the society and in no direct way responsible to it. Obviously, since the capitalist wishes to be successful, he is influenced in his decisions about production by what other members of the society need. But he is influenced also by considerations of industrial convenience and likely profit, and his decisions tend to be a balance of these varying factors. The challenge of socialism, still very powerful elsewhere but in Britain deeply confused by political immaturities and errors, is essentially that decisions about production should be in the hands of the society as a whole, in the sense that control of the means of production is made part of the general system of decision which the society as a whole creates.

29. It can be inferred

① capitalism is more efficient and successful than socialism.

② capitalism differs from socialism in the production decision.

③ capitalism is doomed to fail eventually.

④ socialism takes a minority position in the society.

[32-35] The term “Federal Government” refers to a system of government in which the powers are divided between the national and the local government by a constitution in such fashion as to assure the local governments a considerable measure of autonomy. The hallmark of federal systems is that the powers of the local and of the national governments are constitutionally distinguished. There are local governments in all systems, however centralized, and since they are not museum pieces they always possess some measure of authority. In a federal system the powers of the principal local governments are constitutionally guaranteed to them. Most governmental systems of the world are unitary and not federal in their basic patterns of organization. In the unitary systems, the powers of the principal local governments are subject to definition by the central government, and may be expanded or contracted by the latter without the permission or concurrence of the former. On the other hand, in federal systems, the local governments, whatever they may be called (“states” in the United States; “provinces” in Canada), possess an area of authority blocked out for them by a constitution which is the fundamental law of the land.

32. In a federal system the powers of the principal local governments are .

① automatically denied

② autonomous

③ guaranteed equal to those of the national government

④ constitutionally guaranteed

⑤ expanded or contracted by the government without permission

33. Most governmental systems of the world are .

① democratic ② fundamental ③ blocked out ④ federal ⑤ unitary

34. What does the underlined phrase “museum pieces” mean?

① invaluable ② lacking authority ③ archaic properties

④ not without merit ⑤ small but powerful

35. Which of the following statements about local governments in a federal system is NOT true?
