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 following questions:

It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an
education. Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to
school. The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.

</div>
(4)<div class='page_container' data-page=4>

schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises.
A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other
religions. People are engaged in education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad,
inclusive term. It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one
that should be an integral part of one's entire life.

Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern
varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at
approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do
homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the
alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government, have usually been limited by the
boundaries of the subject being taught. For example, high school students know that they are not
likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their communities or what
the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are definite conditions surrounding the
formalized process of schooling.

Question 45: What is the main idea of the passage?

A. The best school teaches a wide variety of subjects
B. Education and schooling are quite different experiences

C. Students benefit from schools, which require long hours and homework
D. The more years students go to school, the better their education is

Question 46: What does the author probably mean by using the expression “children interrupt

their education to go to school” (lines 2-3) ?

A. Going to several different schools is educationally beneficial.
B. School vacations interrupt the continuity of the school year.
C. Summer school makes the school year too long.

D. All of life is an education.

Question 47: The word “bounds” in line 5 is closest in meaning to ___________.

A. rules B. experience C. limits D. exceptions

Question 48: The word “chance” in line 10 is closest in meaning to___________.
A. unplanned B. unusual C. lengthy D. lively

Question 49: The word “an integral” in line 13 is closest in meaning to ____________.
A. an equitable B. a profitable C. a pleasant D. an essential

Question 50: The word “they” in line 17 refers to ____________.

A. slices of reality B. similar textbooks C. boundaries D. seats

Question 51: The phrase “For example,” line 19, introduces a sentence that gives examples of

B. Education systems need to be radically reformed.

C. Going to school is only part of how people become educated.

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 following questions:

Have you ever heard the sound of a hummingbird? They make a buzzing noise when they fly. They make
this noise because they beat their wings so fast. They beat their wings up to 80 times a second. All that flapping
makes a lot of noise. That's why we call them hummingbirds.

Hummingbirds fly in a unique way. They move their wings so fast that they can hover. This means that they
can stay in one spot in the middle of the air, like a helicopter. Sometimes they fly or hover upside down. They are
the only bird that flies backward.

Hummingbirds are small. One type called the bee hummingbird is the smallest bird in the world. Bee
hummingbirds weigh less than a penny. They are just a little bit bigger than bees. I guess that's where they get
their name.

Bee hummingbirds build tiny nests. They use cobwebs and bits of bark to make their homes. Their homes
are only an inch around. This is big enough for their eggs though. Their eggs are smaller than peas. People have
found these tiny nests on a clothespin.

Hummingbirds move fast. It takes lots of energy to move as fast as they do. This means that they need to
eat a lot of food. Their favorite food is nectar, a sweet liquid inside of some flowers. They drink more than their
own weight in nectar daily. They have to visit hundreds of flowers to get enough nectar to live. They can only store
enough energy to survive through the night. They live on the edge.

Hummingbirds don't use their long beaks like straws. They have a tongue just like you. They use their
tongues for eating. They flick their tongues in and out of their mouths while inside of flowers. They lap up nectar.
Flowers give them the energy that they need.

Hummingbirds help flowers too. They get pollen on their heads and bills when they feed. Flowers use
pollen to make seeds. Hummingbirds help pollen get from one flower to the next. This helps flowers make more
seeds. More seeds means more flowers. More flowers means more food for hummingbirds. Isn't it nice how that
works out?

Question 55: Why are they called hummingbirds?

A. They are very light B. They sing when they fly

C. Their wings make a humming sound D. Their song sounds like humming

Question 56: How do hummingbirds eat?

A. They drink nectar through their beaks like a straw.
B. They chew up flower petals with their beaks.
C. They use their heads and bills to eat pollen.

D. They lap up nectar with their tongues.

Question 57: How do hummingbirds help flowers?

A. They drink nectar. B. They eat pollen.

C. They bring pollen from one flower to the next.D. They plant seeds.

Question 58: According to the text, which does the bee hummingbird use to make nests?

A. straw B. concrete C. bark D. sticks

Question 59: All of the following is true about bee hummingbirds EXCEPT ___________.
A. Bee hummingbird eggs are smaller than peas.

B. Bee hummingbirds weigh less than a penny.

</div>
(6)<div class='page_container' data-page=6>

D. Bee hummingbirds do not grow larger than bees.

Question 60: What is unique about the way that hummingbirds fly?
A. They can fly faster than any other bird.

B. They can fly longer than any other bird.
C. They can fly forward and backward.

D. They can only fly for a few seconds at a time.

Question 61: The word “hover” in line 1 of the 2nd paragraph is closest in meaning to _________.
A. To stay in one spot in the air B. To clean an area thoroughly

C. An animal that has hooves D. To move your wings very fast

Question 62:The word “bills” in line 1 of the last paragraph is closest in meaning to __________.
A. hummingbirds’ beaks B. hummingbirds’ tails

C. hummingbirds’ necks D. hummingbirds’ notes

Question 63: Why do flowers need pollen?

A. Flowers eat pollen. B. Pollen attracts hummingbirds.
C. Hummingbirds eat pollen. D. Flowers use pollen to make seeds.

Question 64: Which title best describes the main idea of this text?
A. Bee Hummingbirds: The World's Smallest Bird

B. Pollination: How Birds and Flowers Work Together

C. Hummingbirds: Unique and Uniquely Helpful

D. Interesting Facts About Birds
