a desert on the eastern slopes of the Andes in South America. Besides the interesting fact that the dinosaur
was huge and horrifying, it is even more astounding that the bones of a number of the dinosaurs were
found together. This discovery challenges the prior theory that the biggest meat-eaters lived as loners and
instead indicates that they may have lived and hunted in packs. The Tyrannosaurus Rex lived in North
America and was believed to hunt and live alone.
The newly discovered meat-eater appears to be related to the Giganotosaurus family, being as closely

related to it as a fox would be to a dog. It is actually not of the same family at all as the Tyrannosaurus
Rex, being as different from it as a cat is from a dog.
The fossilized remains indicate that the animals lived about 100 million years ago. With needle-shaped
noses and razor sharp teeth, they were larger than the Tyrannosaurus Rex, although their legs were slightly
shorter, and their jaws were designed to be better able to dissect their prey quickly and precisely.

A. dinosaur ever. B. carnivorous dinosaur.
C. herbivorous dinosaur. D. South American dinosaur.

A. in spite of B. in addition to
C. although D. mostly

A. lived and hunted with others.
B. had a powerful jaw and sharp teeth.
C. was found in the Andes.
D. was larger than Tyrannosaurus Rex.
41. The passage indicates that prior to this discovery scientists believed that ________.
A. meat-eating dinosaurs lived alone.
B. there were no meat-eating dinosaurs in the Andes.
C. Tyrannosaurus Rex lived in the Andes.
D. meat-eating dinosaurs were small in stature.
42. The word “it” in the second paragraph refers to ________.
A. newly discovered meat-eater B. relationship
C. Giganotosaurus D. dog
43. The author states that the newly discovered meat-eating dinosaur is ________.

A. closely related to Tyrannosaurus Rex
B. not closely related to Tyrannosaurus Rex
C. not closely related to Giganotosaurus
D. closely related to the large cat family
44. The word “dissect” in the last sentence is closest in meaning to ________.
A. dismember B. swallow C. chew D. escape
45. The word “prey” in the last sentence of the passage is closest in meaning to ________.
A. victim B. enemy C. dinosaurs D. attacker

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 from 66 to 75.
Even a muddy pond contributes to the ecosystem that affects the environment. A vernal or springtime pool
is only a few feet deep and lasts only from March until midsummer but yields a considerable number of
diverse life forms. Like all of nature, there are predators and victims, and a particular living being may be
one or the other, depending on its age and characteristics. One may find masses of spotted salamander
eggs floating just under the surface of the pond, left behind by adults who entered the pond early in the
season before predators arrived. Other amphibians and reptiles return to the recurrent pond year after year
to reproduce, as their ancestors have done for years.
Various forms of algae grow well in the murky water, if there is sufficient sunlight. They in turn produce
and transmit oxygen to the salamander embryos and other young that are not yet able to survive outside of
water. Diving beetles feast on eggs and larvae deposited in the pond by the salamanders and other
amphibians that have called it home. Tadpoles are born in the late spring and feed on the algae. The pond
also invites wood frogs staking their territory and courting potential mates, calling as loud as quacking
ducks.
