entstandards, and requires a different preparation. Yet they all have em-ployeeship in common. And increasingly, especially in the large businessor in t
he government, employeeship is more important to success than thespecial professional knowledge or skill.

Questions 81 to 85 are based on the following passage:
The United States court system, as part of the federal system of go-vernment, is characterized by dual hierarchies: there are both state andfederal courts. Each state has its own system of courts, composed of civiland criminal trial courts, sometimes intermediate courts of appeal, and astate supreme court. The federal court system consists of a series oftrial courts (called district courts) serving relatively small geographicregions (there is at least one for every state), a tier of circuit courtsof appeal that hear appeals from many district courts in a particular geo-graphic region, and the Supreme Court of the United States. The two courtsystems are to some extent overlapping, in that certain kinds of disputes(such as a claim that a state law is in violation of the Constitution) maybe initiated in either system. They are also to some extent hierarchical,for the federal system stands above the state system in that litigants(persons engaged in lawsuits) who lose their cases in the state supremecourt may appeal their cases to the Supreme Court of the United States.
Thus, the typical court case begins in a trial court -- a court ofgeneral jurisdiction -- in the state or federal system. Most cases go nofurther than the trial court: for example , the criminal defendant isconvicted (by a trial or a guilty plea) and sentenced by the court andthe case ends; the personal injury suit results in a judgment by a trialcourt (or an out-of-court settlement by the parties while the courts suitis pending) and the parties leave the court system. But sometimes the losingparty at the trial court cares enough about the cause that the matter doesnot end there. In these cases, the"loser"at the trial court may appealto the next higher court.

trial court may take them to _______.
A) different trial court in the same state
B) court in a different geographic region
C) federal trial court
D) state supreme court
85. It can be inferred from the passage that typical court cases are _______.
A) always appealed
B) usually resolved in the district courts

Questions 86 to 90 are based on the following passage:
In the late 1960's, many people in North America turned theirattention to environmental problems, and new steel-and-glass skys-crapers were widely criticized. Ecologists pointed out that a clusterof tall buildings in a city often overburdens public transportationand parking lot capacities.
Skyscrapers are also lavish consumers, and wasters, of electricpower. In one recent year, the addition of 17 million square feet ofskyscraper office space in New York City raised the peak daily demandfor electricity by 120,000 kilowatts -- enough to supply the entirecity of Albany, New York, for a day.
Glass-walled skyscrapers can be especially wasteful. The heatloss (or gain) through a wall of half-inch plate glass is more thanten times that through a typical masonry wall filled with insulationboard. To lessen the strain on heating and air-conditioning equi
pment,builders of skyscrapers have begun to use double-glazed panels ofglass, and reflective glasses coated with silver or gold mirror filmsthat reduce glare as well as heat gain. However, mirror-walled skyscra-pers raise the temperature of the surrounding air and affect neighboringbuildings.
Skyscrapers put a severe strain on a city's sanitation(?àéú) facilities,too. If fully occupied, the two World Trade Center towers in New York Citywould alone generate 2.25 million gallons of raw sewage(????) each year --as much as a city the size of Stamford, Connecticut, which has a populationof more than 109,000.
Skyscrapers also interfere with television reception, block bird flyways,and obstruct air traffic. In Boston in the late 1960's, some people evenfeared that shadows from skyscrapers would kill the grass on Boston Common.
Still, people continue to build skyscrapers for all the reasons that they have always built them -- personal ambition, civic pride, and the desire of owners to have the largest possible amount of rentable space.
86. The main purpose of the passage is to _______.
A) discuss the advantages and disadvantages of skyscrapers
B) compare skyscrapers with other modern structures
C) describe skyscrapers and their effect on the environment
D) illustrate various architectural designs of skyscrapers
87. According to the passage, what is one disadvantage of skyscrapers that have
mirrored walls?
A) The exterior surrounding air is heated.
B) The building materials are very expensive.
C) Construction time is increased.
D) Extra air-conditioning equipment is needed.
