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.
Animals that produce large amounts of offspring depend upon the sheer size of the litter for the perpetuation of their
species. The young mature very quickly and are not educated, as the parents are usually involved with obtaining their own
food and with reproduction. Should some of the offspring become endangered, the parent will not interfere, because it is not
expected that all the young survive, which is the reason for a large litter. One animal that produces large litters is the hamster.
A female hamster is able to bear young when she is siweeks to two months old. The gestation period is about 16 days.
Although an average litter size is from five to ten, hamsters commonly have as few as three or as many as a dozen offspring

at a time. Mothers will sometimes eat their own young, particularly when the number of offspring is large. Females may
produce litters up to an age of about 15 months at monthly intervals. The blind, hairless young begin to grow fur in two to
three days. Their eyes open after about two weeks. After ten days they begin eating solid food, though the mother will
continue to nurse them for about two more weeks. In captivity, a typical hamster may live for two to three years.

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.
For 150 years scientists have tried to determine the solar constant, the amount of solar energy that reaches the Earth. Yet,
even in the most cloud-free regions of the planet, the solar constant cannot be measured precisely. Gas molecules and dust
particles in the atmosphere absorb and scatter sunlight and prevent some wavelengths of the light from ever reaching the
ground.
With the advent of satellites, however, scientists have finally been able to measure the Sun's output without being impeded

by the Earth's atmosphere. Solar Max, a satellite from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), has been
measuring the Sun's output since February 1980. Although a malfunction in the satellite's control system limited its
observation for a few years, the satellite was repaired in orbit by astronauts from the space shuttle in 1984. Max's
observations indicate that the solar constant is not really constant after all.
The satellite's instruments have detected frequent, small variations in the Sun's energy output, generally amounting to no
more than 0.05 percent of the Sun's mean energy output and lasting from a few days to a few weeks. Scientists believe these
fluctuations coincide with the appearance and disappearance of large groups of sunspots on the Sun's disk. Sunspots are
relatively dark regions on the Sun's surface that have strong magnetic fields and a temperature about 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit
cooler than the rest of the Sun's surface. Particularly large fluctuations in the solar constant have coincided with sightings of
large sunspot groups. In 1980, for example, Solar Max's instruments registered a 0.3 percent drop in the solar energy reaching
the Earth. At that time a sunspot group covered about 0.6 percent of the solar disk, an area 20 times larger than the Earth's
surface.
Long-term variations in the solar constant are more difficult to determine. Although Solar Max's data have indicated a slow
and steady decline in the Sun's output, some scientists have thought that the satellite's aging detectors might have become less
sensitive over the years, thus falsely indicating a drop in the solar constant.
This possibility was dismissed, however, by comparing Solar Max's observations with data from a similar instrument
operating on NASA's Nimbus 7 weather satellite since 1978.
Question 22: The phrase "This possibility" in paragraph 4 refers to the likelihood that the......
A. Nimbus 7 satellite is older than Solar Max
B. solar constant has declined
C. instruments are providing inaccurate data
D. solar constant cannot be measured
Question 23: What does this passage mainly discuss?
A. The launching of a weather satellite
B. The measurement of variations in the solar constant
C. The components of the Earth's atmosphere
D. The interaction of sunlight and air pollution
Question 24: Why did scientists think that Solar Mamight be giving unreliable information?
A. Nimbus 7 interfered with Solar Max's detectors.
B. Solar Max's instruments were getting old.

C. Solar Madid not work for the first few years.
D. The space shuttle could not fiSolar Max's instruments.
Question 25: The word "scatter" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to.......
A. transform
B. disperse
C. emit
D. capture
Question 26: Why does the author mention "gas" and "dust" in paragraph 1?
A. They interfere with accurate measurement of the solar constant.
B. They are found in varying concentrations.
C. Scientific equipment is ruined by gas and dust.
D. They magnify the solar constant.
Question 27: According to the passage, scientists believe variations in the solar constant are related to.......
A. sunspot activity
B. unusual weather patterns
C. increased levels of dust
D. fluctuations in the Earth's temperature
Question 28: Why is it not possible to measure the solar constant accurately without a satellite?
A. The Earth's atmosphere interferes with the sunlight.
B. The Earth is too far from the Sun.
C. Some areas on Earth receive more solar energy than others.
D. There is not enough sunlight during the day.
Question 29: The attempt to describe the solar constant can best be described as......
A. an issue that has been resolved
B. a question that can never be answered
C. an ongoing research effort
D. historically interesting, but irrelevant to contemporary concerns

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.
Animals that produce large amounts of offspring depend upon the sheer size of the litter for the perpetuation of their
species. The young mature very quickly and are not educated, as the parents are usually involved with obtaining their own
food and with reproduction. Should some of the offspring become endangered, the parent will not interfere, because it is not
expected that all the young survive, which is the reason for a large litter. One animal that produces large litters is the hamster.
A female hamster is able to bear young when she is siweeks to two months old. The gestation period is about 16 days.
Although an average litter size is from five to ten, hamsters commonly have as few as three or as many as a dozen offspring
at a time. Mothers will sometimes eat their own young, particularly when the number of offspring is large. Females may
produce litters up to an age of about 15 months at monthly intervals. The blind, hairless young begin to grow fur in two to


three days. Their eyes open after about two weeks. After ten days they begin eating solid food, though the mother will

continue to nurse them for about two more weeks. In captivity, a typical hamster may live for two to three years.
Question 36: Female hamsters may reproduce as young as......
A. 15 months old
B. simonths old
C. siweeks old
D. two weeks old
Question 37: Female hamsters will sometimes eat their young for what reason?
A. The young mature too quickly
B. Because of a large number of offspring
C. Deformed babies
D. Hunger
Question 38: Why would an animal parent not be able to care for its litter?
A. It is busy reproducing and food gathering.
B. It interferes with the litter.
C. It is busy educating the litter.
D. It is busy playing.
Question 39: What is the tone of the passage?
A. Farcical
B. Argumentative
C. Informative
D. Biased
Question 40: The word "perpetuation" in the passage is closest in meaning to.......
A. extinction
B. annihilation
C. variation
D. continuation
Question 41: The gestation period for hamsters is about.......
A. siweeks
B. 16 days

C. The young are educated.
D. The young mature quickly.
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.
For 150 years scientists have tried to determine the solar constant, the amount of solar energy that reaches the Earth. Yet,
even in the most cloud-free regions of the planet, the solar constant cannot be measured precisely. Gas molecules and dust
particles in the atmosphere absorb and scatter sunlight and prevent some wavelengths of the light from ever reaching the
ground.
With the advent of satellites, however, scientists have finally been able to measure the Sun's output without being impeded
by the Earth's atmosphere. Solar Max, a satellite from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), has been
measuring the Sun's output since February 1980. Although a malfunction in the satellite's control system limited its
observation for a few years, the satellite was repaired in orbit by astronauts from the space shuttle in 1984. Max's
observations indicate that the solar constant is not really constant after all.
The satellite's instruments have detected frequent, small variations in the Sun's energy output, generally amounting to no
more than 0.05 percent of the Sun's mean energy output and lasting from a few days to a few weeks. Scientists believe these
fluctuations coincide with the appearance and disappearance of large groups of sunspots on the Sun's disk. Sunspots are
relatively dark regions on the Sun's surface that have strong magnetic fields and a temperature about 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit
cooler than the rest of the Sun's surface. Particularly large fluctuations in the solar constant have coincided with sightings of
large sunspot groups. In 1980, for example, Solar Max's instruments registered a 0.3 percent drop in the solar energy reaching
the Earth. At that time a sunspot group covered about 0.6 percent of the solar disk, an area 20 times larger than the Earth's
surface.
Long-term variations in the solar constant are more difficult to determine. Although Solar Max's data have indicated a slow
and steady decline in the Sun's output, some scientists have thought that the satellite's aging detectors might have become less
sensitive over the years, thus falsely indicating a drop in the solar constant.
This possibility was dismissed, however, by comparing Solar Max's observations with data from a similar instrument
operating on NASA's Nimbus 7 weather satellite since 1978.

Question 43: Why is it not possible to measure the solar constant accurately without a satellite?
A. The Earth's atmosphere interferes with the sunlight.
B. The Earth is too far from the Sun.
C. Some areas on Earth receive more solar energy than others.
D. There is not enough sunlight during the day.
Question 44: The attempt to describe the solar constant can best be described as......
A. historically interesting, but irrelevant to contemporary concerns B. a question that can never be answered
C. an ongoing research effort
D. an issue that has been resolved
Question 45: According to the passage, scientists believe variations in the solar constant are related to.......
A. fluctuations in the Earth's temperature
B. sunspot activity
C. unusual weather patterns
D. increased levels of dust
Question 46: Why did scientists think that Solar Mamight be giving unreliable information?
A. Nimbus 7 interfered with Solar Max's detectors.
B. Solar Madid not work for the first few years.
C. Solar Max's instruments were getting old.
D. The space shuttle could not fiSolar Max's instruments.
Question 47: Why does the author mention "gas" and "dust" in paragraph 1?
A. They magnify the solar constant.
B. Scientific equipment is ruined by gas and dust.
C. They interfere with accurate measurement of the solar constant.


D. They are found in varying concentrations.
Question 48: The word "scatter" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to.......
A. capture
B. emit
C. disperse

D. transform
Question 49: The phrase "This possibility" in paragraph 4 refers to the likelihood that the......
A. solar constant has declined
B. solar constant cannot be measured
C. instruments are providing inaccurate data
D. Nimbus 7 satellite is older than Solar Max
Question 50: What does this passage mainly discuss?
A. The interaction of sunlight and air pollution
B. The launching of a weather satellite
C. The components of the Earth's atmosphere
D. The measurement of variations in the solar constant

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.
For 150 years scientists have tried to determine the solar constant, the amount of solar energy that reaches the Earth. Yet,
even in the most cloud-free regions of the planet, the solar constant cannot be measured precisely. Gas molecules and dust
particles in the atmosphere absorb and scatter sunlight and prevent some wavelengths of the light from ever reaching the
ground.
With the advent of satellites, however, scientists have finally been able to measure the Sun's output without being impeded
by the Earth's atmosphere. Solar Max, a satellite from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), has been
measuring the Sun's output since February 1980. Although a malfunction in the satellite's control system limited its
observation for a few years, the satellite was repaired in orbit by astronauts from the space shuttle in 1984. Max's
observations indicate that the solar constant is not really constant after all.
The satellite's instruments have detected frequent, small variations in the Sun's energy output, generally amounting to no
more than 0.05 percent of the Sun's mean energy output and lasting from a few days to a few weeks. Scientists believe these
fluctuations coincide with the appearance and disappearance of large groups of sunspots on the Sun's disk. Sunspots are
relatively dark regions on the Sun's surface that have strong magnetic fields and a temperature about 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit
cooler than the rest of the Sun's surface. Particularly large fluctuations in the solar constant have coincided with sightings of
large sunspot groups. In 1980, for example, Solar Max's instruments registered a 0.3 percent drop in the solar energy reaching
the Earth. At that time a sunspot group covered about 0.6 percent of the solar disk, an area 20 times larger than the Earth's
surface.
Long-term variations in the solar constant are more difficult to determine. Although Solar Max's data have indicated a slow

and steady decline in the Sun's output, some scientists have thought that the satellite's aging detectors might have become less
sensitive over the years, thus falsely indicating a drop in the solar constant.
This possibility was dismissed, however, by comparing Solar Max's observations with data from a similar instrument
operating on NASA's Nimbus 7 weather satellite since 1978.

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.
Animals that produce large amounts of offspring depend upon the sheer size of the litter for the perpetuation of their

species. The young mature very quickly and are not educated, as the parents are usually involved with obtaining their own
food and with reproduction. Should some of the offspring become endangered, the parent will not interfere, because it is not
expected that all the young survive, which is the reason for a large litter. One animal that produces large litters is the hamster.
A female hamster is able to bear young when she is siweeks to two months old. The gestation period is about 16 days.
Although an average litter size is from five to ten, hamsters commonly have as few as three or as many as a dozen offspring
at a time. Mothers will sometimes eat their own young, particularly when the number of offspring is large. Females may
produce litters up to an age of about 15 months at monthly intervals. The blind, hairless young begin to grow fur in two to
three days. Their eyes open after about two weeks. After ten days they begin eating solid food, though the mother will
continue to nurse them for about two more weeks. In captivity, a typical hamster may live for two to three years.
Question 41: Which of the following is NOT a reason for a large litter?
A. The young are educated.
B. The young are not expected to live.
C. The parents are too busy to protect them.
D. The young mature quickly.
Question 42: What is the tone of the passage?
A. Farcical
B. Biased
C. Informative
D. Argumentative
Question 43: Female hamsters may reproduce as young as......
A. siweeks old
B. two weeks old
C. 15 months old
D. simonths old
Question 44: The gestation period for hamsters is about.......
A. nine months
B. siweeks
C. one month
D. 16 days
Question 45: The word "perpetuation" in the passage is closest in meaning to.......

A. extinction
B. continuation
C. annihilation
D. variation
Question 46: Female hamsters will sometimes eat their young for what reason?
A. The young mature too quickly
B. Because of a large number of offspring
C. Deformed babies
D. Hunger
Question 47: Why would an animal parent not be able to care for its litter?
A. It is busy educating the litter.
B. It is busy playing.
C. It is busy reproducing and food gathering.
D. It interferes with the litter.
Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that is closest in meaning to each of the

B. The coach warned the player against causing a lot of trouble for the team.
C. The coach threatened to sack the player for having caused a lot of trouble for the team.
D. The coach accused the player for having caused a lot of trouble for the team.
Question 49: The look on her face boded ill for anyone who crossed her path that day.


A. She looked ill, which could be seen on her face for anyone crossing her path that day.
B. Anyone who crossed her way that day could see on her face that she was not well.
C. The look on her face was a bad sign for anyone who happened to meet her that day.
D. People who went by her path that day did not know why her face looked so ill.

observation for a few years, the satellite was repaired in orbit by astronauts from the space shuttle in 1984. Max's
observations indicate that the solar constant is not really constant after all.
The satellite's instruments have detected frequent, small variations in the Sun's energy output, generally amounting to no
more than 0.05 percent of the Sun's mean energy output and lasting from a few days to a few weeks. Scientists believe these
fluctuations coincide with the appearance and disappearance of large groups of sunspots on the Sun's disk. Sunspots are
relatively dark regions on the Sun's surface that have strong magnetic fields and a temperature about 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit
cooler than the rest of the Sun's surface. Particularly large fluctuations in the solar constant have coincided with sightings of
large sunspot groups. In 1980, for example, Solar Max's instruments registered a 0.3 percent drop in the solar energy reaching
the Earth. At that time a sunspot group covered about 0.6 percent of the solar disk, an area 20 times larger than the Earth's
surface.
Long-term variations in the solar constant are more difficult to determine. Although Solar Max's data have indicated a slow
and steady decline in the Sun's output, some scientists have thought that the satellite's aging detectors might have become less
sensitive over the years, thus falsely indicating a drop in the solar constant.
This possibility was dismissed, however, by comparing Solar Max's observations with data from a similar instrument
operating on NASA's Nimbus 7 weather satellite since 1978.

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.
Animals that produce large amounts of offspring depend upon the sheer size of the litter for the perpetuation of their
species. The young mature very quickly and are not educated, as the parents are usually involved with obtaining their own
food and with reproduction. Should some of the offspring become endangered, the parent will not interfere, because it is not
expected that all the young survive, which is the reason for a large litter. One animal that produces large litters is the hamster.
A female hamster is able to bear young when she is siweeks to two months old. The gestation period is about 16 days.
Although an average litter size is from five to ten, hamsters commonly have as few as three or as many as a dozen offspring
at a time. Mothers will sometimes eat their own young, particularly when the number of offspring is large. Females may
produce litters up to an age of about 15 months at monthly intervals. The blind, hairless young begin to grow fur in two to
three days. Their eyes open after about two weeks. After ten days they begin eating solid food, though the mother will
continue to nurse them for about two more weeks. In captivity, a typical hamster may live for two to three years.
