Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
On March 15, Dunes View Middle School held a contest for school bands. Student bands tried out for the
opportunity to perform at the school picnic, which will be held at the end of June. The winner of the
contest was the band called Four Square. “We’re very proud that we won the contest and are excited to
perform at the picnic,” says Peter Zandt, who plays the guitar in the band. “And since we hope to perform
someday at other local places, like restaurants and parks, this will be a great first step.”
The contest was the creation of music teacher Mr. Lopez and drama teacher Ms. Cho. The two thought of
the idea while discussing recent years’ school picnics. “The picnic is one of the biggest events of the year,
but it has become a bit formulaic ,” said Ms. Cho. “The activities are the same every year. We thought that
a performance by a student band would make the school picnic more interesting and fun.” Mr. Lopez, Ms.
Cho, and three other teachers judged the contest, which took place in the gym. Eight student bands signed
up to audition. The bands varied in their musical forms: there were several rock bands, a folk band, and
even a jazz band. “I’m disappointed that my band didn’t win, but I think the judges made the right choice,”
says student Marisol Varga, a member of the folk trio called The Bell Girls. “Four Square is really good.”
To see if the bands could present a wide range of musical skills, the teachers asked them each to prepare
two songs: one song with original words, and another in which students played instrumental music only.
The judges finally chose the band Four Square as the winner of the contest. Four Square is a rock band
with an unusual twist: it includes a violin player! The members of Four Square write their own songs and
practice three times a week after school. Students and teachers agreed that the band competition was a big
success. All are looking forward to the school picnic in June.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
Dodder is an unusual and unwanted plant that attacks other plants. Except for its flowers, the plant looks
like spaghetti noodles. Its almost leafless, thread–like stems hang down atop other plants that dodder needs
to stay alive. Dodder does not produce its own food. Instead, it steals it from other plants. It feeds by
sucking juices from the plant it is wrapped around, often making its host very weak or even killing it.
Dodder can find other plants by their smell. When a dodder seedling starts growing, it follows the scent of
plants it prefers, like tomato plants, potato plants, or other farm crops.
Unlike most plants that usually grow in the direction of light or warmth, a dodder plant will grow in the
direction of, for example, tomato odor––if a tomato happens to be growing nearby.
However, a young dodder plant must find a host plant quickly. If it cannot catch a whiff of a potential host
within a few days, it will dry up and disappear—even if there is plenty of water around. Once it finds a
host, the young dodder plant will attach itself to it and start growing faster. At that point, the dodder plant
will drop its root.
Dodder is thus a difficult weed to manage and a real headache for farmers. When it does get out of hand,
dodder can greatly reduce a farmer’s harvest or even destroy crops completely. Before sowing their
produce, farmers in warm parts of the world often check to make sure no unwanted dodder seeds have
intermingled with their crop seeds. This is a good way to stop dodder plants from sneaking their way into a
crop field.
Question 44: What is the main topic of the passage?
A. A new variety of farm crop
B. Plants that are harmful to humans
C. The special abilities of a dangerous plant D. Recent improvements in farming methods
Question 45: Why does the author mention spaghetti?
A. To analyze the content of some food

B. To describe the shape of a dodder plant
C. To explain where the dodder plant came from
D. To argue that dodder plants can be used to make food
Question 46: The word it refers to___________.
A. host
B. food
C. plant
D. dodder

Question 47: What causes dodder to grow in a particular direction?
A. Odor
B. Light
C. Water
D. Temperature
Question 48: The expression catch a whiff is closest in meaning to________.
A. eat the seeds
B. notice the smell
C. find the location
D. determine the size
Question 49: What will happen if a dodder plant starts growing where there are no other plants around?
A. It will soon die.
B. It will grow deeper roots.
C. It will attract other plants.
D. It will cover the entire area of soil.
Question 50: The expression get out of hand is closest in meaning to_________.
A. dry up and die
B. change its color

C. become hard to find
D. grow uncontrollably

the questions.
On March 15, Dunes View Middle School held a contest for school bands. Student bands tried out for the
opportunity to perform at the school picnic, which will be held at the end of June. The winner of the
contest was the band called Four Square. “We’re very proud that we won the contest and are excited to
perform at the picnic,” says Peter Zandt, who plays the guitar in the band. “And since we hope to perform
someday at other local places, like restaurants and parks, this will be a great first step.”
The contest was the creation of music teacher Mr. Lopez and drama teacher Ms. Cho. The two thought of
the idea while discussing recent years’ school picnics. “The picnic is one of the biggest events of the year,
but it has become a bit formulaic ,” said Ms. Cho. “The activities are the same every year. We thought that
a performance by a student band would make the school picnic more interesting and fun.” Mr. Lopez, Ms.
Cho, and three other teachers judged the contest, which took place in the gym. Eight student bands signed

up to audition. The bands varied in their musical forms: there were several rock bands, a folk band, and
even a jazz band. “I’m disappointed that my band didn’t win, but I think the judges made the right choice,”
says student Marisol Varga, a member of the folk trio called The Bell Girls. “Four Square is really good.”
To see if the bands could present a wide range of musical skills, the teachers asked them each to prepare
two songs: one song with original words, and another in which students played instrumental music only.
The judges finally chose the band Four Square as the winner of the contest. Four Square is a rock band
with an unusual twist: it includes a violin player! The members of Four Square write their own songs and
practice three times a week after school. Students and teachers agreed that the band competition was a big
success. All are looking forward to the school picnic in June.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
Dodder is an unusual and unwanted plant that attacks other plants. Except for its flowers, the plant looks
like spaghetti noodles. Its almost leafless, thread–like stems hang down atop other plants that dodder needs
to stay alive. Dodder does not produce its own food. Instead, it steals it from other plants. It feeds by
sucking juices from the plant it is wrapped around, often making its host very weak or even killing it.
Dodder can find other plants by their smell. When a dodder seedling starts growing, it follows the scent of
plants it prefers, like tomato plants, potato plants, or other farm crops.

Unlike most plants that usually grow in the direction of light or warmth, a dodder plant will grow in the
direction of, for example, tomato odor––if a tomato happens to be growing nearby.
However, a young dodder plant must find a host plant quickly. If it cannot catch a whiff of a potential host
within a few days, it will dry up and disappear—even if there is plenty of water around. Once it finds a
host, the young dodder plant will attach itself to it and start growing faster. At that point, the dodder plant
will drop its root.
Dodder is thus a difficult weed to manage and a real headache for farmers. When it does get out of hand,
dodder can greatly reduce a farmer’s harvest or even destroy crops completely. Before sowing their
produce, farmers in warm parts of the world often check to make sure no unwanted dodder seeds have
intermingled with their crop seeds. This is a good way to stop dodder plants from sneaking their way into a
crop field.
