SECTION B
Read the following passage carefully, then choose the best answer to each question.
By the end of the first quarter of the nineteenth century a number of our Eastern institutions – Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and Pennsylvania – had some of the necessary ingredients of a university, but hardly yet the point of view. They were little clusters of schools and institutes. Indeed, just after the Revolution, the schools of Pennsylvania and Harvard had assumed the somewhat pretentious title of university, and, shortly after, the University of Virginia was founded under the guidance of Thomas Jefferson. In the South, Georgia and later North Carolina began to rise. The substance in all these was mainly lacking, though the title was honored. There were rather feeble law, medical and divinity schools, somewhat loosely attached to these colleges. It has been commonly recognized, however, that the first decade after the close of the Civil War, that is, from about 1866 to 1876, was the great early flowering of the university in America.
21) In the opinion of the author of this passage, in 1825 ……
| A. only Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and Pennsylvania could truly be called universities. |
| B. all American educational institutions could justifiably claim to be universities. |
| C. those institutions that called themselves universities were not justified in doing so. |
| D. no American institution of higher education had any of the necessary ingredients of a university. |
22) Thomas Jefferson founded ……
| A. the University of Pennsylvania |
| B. Harvard |
| C. the University of Virginia |
| D. the University of Georgia |
23) The Civil War ended …….
| A. about 1866 |
| B. about 1876 |
| C. about 1856 |
| D. during the decade from 1866 to 1876 |
