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
Today, like most other kinds of theater and music, the musical drama of opera enjoys a myriad
of different forms and interpretations. Operas can exhibit both comical moods as well as the most
tragic ones while the actors may be of the highest caliber or simply part-time novices. But it has not
always been this way. Since its inception in Italy around the year 1600, the opera has experienced a
number of shifts and trends. In the beginning, it was heavily influenced by classical Greek drama and
attempted to adhere to its heroic subject matter and theme. Yet, by the eighteenth century, two distinct
forms were beginning to branch out from the original operatic base in Italy. Italian audiences were able
to witness two fundamental styles: the opera seria and the opera buffa. Their distinct styles reflected
the social mentality of the era and its ability to morph and grow in a new direction, which later
influenced further alterations in modern opera.
The first half of the eighteenth century was dominated by the opera seria, which most closely
resembled the earliest form of the opera. Its characteristics were heavily influenced by the
Enlightenment, a period in Europe which put human reason at the forefront of thought. In turn, clarity
and structure became the foundation of the opera seria. In many ways, simplicity and rational thought,
which were further major characteristics of the opera seria, go hand in hand. It eschewed imagination
and improvisation in favor of familiar storylines, most often Greek, which was easier on the audience
and did not tax their mental capacities too much. However, some operagoers felt slighted by the fact
that the operas failed to challenge them, and though it remained a popular form of entertainment, it
displayed a number of other limitations.

Some members of the audience found further difficulties with the opera seria. First, the organization of
the opera never deviated from the usual norm. It was always composed of three acts, and, within each

act were its fundamental components: the recitatives and the arias. Recitatives are the singing of the
cast, which pushes the action of the opera forward. Arias usually followed as a climax and revealed the
emotion or internal conflict of the actors. The main issue was that such a rigid structure made the opera
bland and at times predictable. If there had been more flexibility, the operas would have been more
vivid and alive, yet the composers were bound by the predominant philosophical constraints of the
early 1700s. The stage, then, was ripe for change in the form of the opera buffa, which was beginning
to manifest itself within the opera seria itself through the intermezzo.
The intermezzo was already an integral part of the opera seria in that it was a short performance break
between acts and was less predictable than the major production. Over time, the style of the intermezzo
caught on and was eventually put on separately, eventually being dubbed the opera buffa. This type of
opera was characterized by a light, even comic, motif. More importantly, it was less constrained and
displayed elements of free emotion and subject matter that mirrored everyday life, not, for example,
heroes from Greek tragedies. Further, music began to play a greater role in the opera, was spontaneous,
and often mirrored the emotions of the characters. Because the themes were more true to life, the
audience could relate more closely with the opera buffa. As it developed, the opera buffa also began to
take on more serious subject matter yet retained its free flowing manner.
By the late 1700s, the influence of the Enlightenment was beginning to lose its luster, and the
two predominant forms of opera began to merge into one. The opera seria started to display more
elasticity in its form and structure and even included some dancing in its performances. Likewise, the
opera buffa began to engage in more sophisticated themes. By the end of the century, even the most
sensitive opera enthusiast could hardly distinguish between the two. More importantly, as each form
changed, they were able to provide the audience with the best of both worlds and a more complete
opera experience, as they were composed with intellectual integrity, stimulation sprinkled with
lightheartedness, and humor. From this, the modern form of opera was born.

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.
Hurricanes are one of the most destructive natural forces on the face of the planet. By definition, they
are also known as tropical cyclones. They manifest themselves in the warm waters of the Atlantic
Ocean, usually in the form of a low-pressure weather system. Due to minimal, high atmospheric
winds, those near the surface of the water begin to spin and spiral in a counterclockwise direction,
feeding on the heat from the ocean. With increased rotation, more water is absorbed into the system
and is then released in the form of showers and thunderstorms. Once the system becomes stronger and

6


more defined, and sustained wind speeds eclipse speeds of seventy-five miles per hour, the storm can
then be classified as a true hurricane. They pose the greatest threat to human populations when they
track eastward to the tepid waters of the Gulf of Mexico, where the islands of the Caribbean and the
flats of the southeastern United States lie vulnerable to its path of destruction, which is usually
determined by two major factors: storm surge and movement.
While high winds are commonly associated with the perils of hurricanes, the most destructive factor is
the accompanying storm surge as it strikes land. Still, the torrential rains and heavy winds the
hurricane brings contribute to its storm surge, yet this occurs in a more indirect way than was
previously thought. As the hurricane approaches land, water levels increase and are pushed onto and
through the shoreline, causing major destruction. The size of the surge itself is determined by the slope
of the shore, called the continental shelf, out into the ocean. If the slope is steep, the storm surge will
not be as great as when it is shallower, which causes a more powerful surge due to the fact that the
ocean’s depth is not great enough to absorb the energy and massive amounts of water. In fact, scientists
have pointed out that one cubic yard of it weighs about 1,700 lbs. Millions of cubic yards of surge can
occur from one single storm, which, naturally, causes catastrophic damage.

Another major contributor to the measure of destruction a hurricane causes is its movement. The speed
of a hurricane as it makes landfall and moves across or inland is a major deciding factor upon the
extent of the damage. Fast- moving hurricanes can often seem a blessing to the people and
communities involved because their high speeds mean they will move on and away quickly, so they
will not have a chance to dump as much water on the immediate area. However, lazy storms, and
especially storms that stall on the coastline, become the cyclones of devastation. Because they move so
slowly or even not at all and are able to sit spinning and reenergizing themselves from the ocean,
torrential rains, winds, and flooding increase, and the storm surge becomes a perpetual battering ram of
destruction. However, the power of a hurricane becomes immediately diminished once over land
because it is disconnected from its warm water energy source, but this does not mean it is dead by any
means.
When it comes to hurricanes, direct wind destruction is a secondary worry compared to storm surge,
the speed of the hurricanes’ track, and the flooding that is associated with them. The shallow
continental shelf underlying the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico off of the southeastern United
States coupled with the low- lying landmass makes the area a prime region for disaster in the form of
storm surge and flooding. This, along with the fickle nature of hurricanes and the inability of experts
accurately to predict a hurricane’s landfall, adds to the turmoil that hurricanes inflict on the populations
of the areas they hit. Not necessarily wind, but water, remains the worst effect a hurricane can have, as
it is able to flood not only the immediate area where the hurricane strikes but hundreds and hundreds

7


of miles in any given direction as well, affecting people, homes, and businesses far and wide of its
main path.
55. According to paragraph 1, which of the following is true of hurricanes?
A: They are only able to form in tropical waters near the Equator.
B: Storms are classified as hurricanes when gusts reach 75mph.
C: One of the most defining characteristics of a hurricane is its eye.

Part II: Some people think that human needs for farmland, housing, and industry are more
important that saving land for endangered animals. Do you agree or disagree with this point of
view? Why or why not? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
In the past, there have been many endangered animals. Now they are extinct. It does matter if we
destroy an endangered species habitat to develop more farmland, housing or industrial parks.
There is a delicate balance of nature. If one small part is removed, it will affect all the other parts. For
example, if certain trees are cut down, bats will have no place to roost. Our environment has been
affected by the absence of certain animals. Certain flowers are pollinated by butterflies, which
migrate from Canada to Mexico. Some of the breeding grounds of these butterflies were
destroyed. Now these flowers are disappearing from certain areas. We will no longer be able to enjoy
their beauty. The quality of our life has been changed America used to be covered with giant trees.
Now we have to visit them in one small park. Rain forests around the world are being cut down to
