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.
Before the mid-nineteenth century, people in the United States ate most foods only in season. Drying, smoking and salting
could preserve meat for a short time, but the availability of fresh meat, like that of fresh milk, was very limited; there was no
way to prevent spoilage. But in 1810, a French inventor named Nicolas Appert developed the cooking-and-sealing process of
canning. And in the 1850’s an American named Gail Borden developed a means of condensing and preserving milk. Canned
goods and condensed milk became more common during the 1860’s, but supplies remained low because cans had to be made
by hand. By 1880, however, inventors had fashioned stamping and soldering machines that mass-produced cans from tin
plate. Suddenly all kinds of food could be preserved and bought at all times of the year.
Other trends and inventions had also helped make it possible for Americans to vary their daily diets. Growing urban
population created demand that encouraged fruit and vegetable farmers to raise more produce. Railroad refrigerator cars
enabled growers and meat packers to ship perishables great distances and to preserve them for longer periods. Thus, by the
1890’s, northern city-dwellers could enjoy southern and western strawberries, grapes, and tomatoes, previously available for
a month at most, for up to six months of the year. In addition, increased use of iceboxes enabled families to store perishables.
As easy means of producing ice commercially had been invented in the 1870’s, and by 1900 the nation had more than two
thousand commercial ice plants, most of which made home deliveries. The icebox became a fixture in most homes and
remained so until the mechanized refrigerator replaced it in the 1920’s and 1930’s.
Almost everyone now had a more diversified diet. Some people continued to eat mainly foods that were heavy in starches or
carbohydrates, and not everyone could afford meat. Nevertheless, many families could take advantage of previously
unavailable fruits, vegetables, and dairy products to achieve more varied fare.

D. Causes of food spoilage.

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.
Dinosaurs were reptiles that lived during a period of earth's history called the Mesozoic Era, which is also known as the Age
of Reptiles. The first dinosaurs appeared more than 200 million years ago. For many millions of years, they dominated the

land with their huge size and strength. Then about 65 million years ago, they died out rather suddenly, never to re-emerge.
The word "dinosaurs" comes from two Greek words meaning "terrible lizard". Dinosaurs were not lizards, but their
appearance could be truly terrifying. The biggest ones weighed more than ten times as much as a mature elephant and nearly
equaled the size of most modern-day whales. The famous kinds of dinosaurs, including the brontosaur and tyrannosaurus
rex, reached 80 to 90 feet in length. Not all dinosaurs were giants, however; some were actually not larger than a chicken.
Scientists still do not know what caused dinosaurs to disappear. One theory involves a change in the earth's climate. It is
believed that temperatures dropped significantly towards the end of the Cretaceous Period. Too large to hibernate and not
having fur or feathers for protection, it is possible that the climate became too chilly for dinosaurs. In contrast, other species
having protection, such as the mammals and birds, were able to survive.
Question 44: It can be inferred from the passage that the Age of Reptiles lasted about
A. 65 million years
B. 80 million years
C. 135 million years
D. 200 million years
Question 45: According to the passage, what is true about the size of dinosaurs?
A. It guaranteed their survival.
B. It made them the largest creatures ever on earth
C. It varied quite greatly.
D. It was rather uniform.
Question 46: What is the best title for this passage?
A. The Metabolism of Dinosaurs
B. The Domination of the Land
C. The History of Earth
D. Earth's Largest Reptiles
Question 47: The word “hibermate” is closest in meaning to......
A. keep intact
B. sleep for winter
C. hide from danger
D. give birth
Question 48: In line 6, the author uses the phrase "never to re-emerge" to indicate that the dinosaurs......

A. never died out
B. lost their way
C. became extinct
D. went into hiding
Question 49: The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses......
A. the protection of other species
B. the ability of mammals to survive
C. another theory about the disappearance of dinosaurs
D. other changes in the climate
Question 50: The word “some” refers to......
A. giants
B. dinosaurs
C. scientists
D. chicken

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.
Dinosaurs were reptiles that lived during a period of earth's history called the Mesozoic Era, which is also known as the Age
of Reptiles. The first dinosaurs appeared more than 200 million years ago. For many millions of years, they dominated the
land with their huge size and strength. Then about 65 million years ago, they died out rather suddenly, never to re-emerge.
The word "dinosaurs" comes from two Greek words meaning "terrible lizard". Dinosaurs were not lizards, but their
appearance could be truly terrifying. The biggest ones weighed more than ten times as much as a mature elephant and nearly
equaled the size of most modern-day whales. The famous kinds of dinosaurs, including the brontosaur and tyrannosaurus
rex, reached 80 to 90 feet in length. Not all dinosaurs were giants, however; some were actually not larger than a chicken.
Scientists still do not know what caused dinosaurs to disappear. One theory involves a change in the earth's climate. It is
believed that temperatures dropped significantly towards the end of the Cretaceous Period. Too large to hibernate and not
having fur or feathers for protection, it is possible that the climate became too chilly for dinosaurs. In contrast, other species
having protection, such as the mammals and birds, were able to survive.
Question 28: In line 6, the author uses the phrase "never to re-emerge" to indicate that the dinosaurs......

A. lost their way
B. went into hiding
C. never died out
D. became extinct
Question 29: The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses......
A. another theory about the disappearance of dinosaurs B. the protection of other species
C. other changes in the climate

A. 65 million years
B. 200 million years
C. 135 million years
D. 80 million years
Question 31: According to the passage, what is true about the size of dinosaurs?
A. It was rather uniform.
B. It made them the largest creatures ever on earth
C. It guaranteed their survival.
D. It varied quite greatly.
Question 32: The word “some” refers to......
A. dinosaurs
B. giants

D. chicken
Question 33: The word “hibermate” is closest in meaning to......

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.
Before the mid-nineteenth century, people in the United States ate most foods only in season. Drying, smoking and salting
could preserve meat for a short time, but the availability of fresh meat, like that of fresh milk, was very limited; there was no
way to prevent spoilage. But in 1810, a French inventor named Nicolas Appert developed the cooking-and-sealing process of
canning. And in the 1850’s an American named Gail Borden developed a means of condensing and preserving milk. Canned
goods and condensed milk became more common during the 1860’s, but supplies remained low because cans had to be made
by hand. By 1880, however, inventors had fashioned stamping and soldering machines that mass-produced cans from tin
plate. Suddenly all kinds of food could be preserved and bought at all times of the year.
Other trends and inventions had also helped make it possible for Americans to vary their daily diets. Growing urban
population created demand that encouraged fruit and vegetable farmers to raise more produce. Railroad refrigerator cars


enabled growers and meat packers to ship perishables great distances and to preserve them for longer periods. Thus, by the
1890’s, northern city-dwellers could enjoy southern and western strawberries, grapes, and tomatoes, previously available for

a month at most, for up to six months of the year. In addition, increased use of iceboxes enabled families to store perishables.
As easy means of producing ice commercially had been invented in the 1870’s, and by 1900 the nation had more than two
thousand commercial ice plants, most of which made home deliveries. The icebox became a fixture in most homes and
remained so until the mechanized refrigerator replaced it in the 1920’s and 1930’s.
Almost everyone now had a more diversified diet. Some people continued to eat mainly foods that were heavy in starches or
carbohydrates, and not everyone could afford meat. Nevertheless, many families could take advantage of previously
unavailable fruits, vegetables, and dairy products to achieve more varied fare.
Question 37: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Causes of food spoilage.
B. Population movements in the nineteenth century.
C. Inventions that led to changes in the American diet.
D. Commercial production of ice.

Question 40: The word "them" in line 10 refers to........
A. growers
B. perishables
C. refrigerator cars
D. distances
Question 41: During the 1860’s, canned food products were........
A. available in limited quantities
B. shipped in refrigerator cars

C. a staple part of the American diet.
D. unavailable in rural areas

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.
Dinosaurs were reptiles that lived during a period of earth's history called the Mesozoic Era, which is also known as the Age
of Reptiles. The first dinosaurs appeared more than 200 million years ago. For many millions of years, they dominated the
land with their huge size and strength. Then about 65 million years ago, they died out rather suddenly, never to re-emerge.
The word "dinosaurs" comes from two Greek words meaning "terrible lizard". Dinosaurs were not lizards, but their
appearance could be truly terrifying. The biggest ones weighed more than ten times as much as a mature elephant and nearly
equaled the size of most modern-day whales. The famous kinds of dinosaurs, including the brontosaur and tyrannosaurus
rex, reached 80 to 90 feet in length. Not all dinosaurs were giants, however; some were actually not larger than a chicken.
Scientists still do not know what caused dinosaurs to disappear. One theory involves a change in the earth's climate. It is
believed that temperatures dropped significantly towards the end of the Cretaceous Period. Too large to hibernate and not
having fur or feathers for protection, it is possible that the climate became too chilly for dinosaurs. In contrast, other species
having protection, such as the mammals and birds, were able to survive.
Question 27: In line 6, the author uses the phrase "never to re-emerge" to indicate that the dinosaurs......

A. went into hiding

Question 28: According to the passage, what is true about the size of dinosaurs?
A. It made them the largest creatures ever on earth
B. It guaranteed their survival.

D. It was rather uniform.
Question 29: The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses......
A. another theory about the disappearance of dinosaurs B. other changes in the climate
C. the ability of mammals to survive
D. the protection of other species
Question 30: What is the best title for this passage?
A. The Metabolism of Dinosaurs
B. Earth's Largest Reptiles
C. The Domination of the Land
D. The History of Earth
Question 31: The word “hibermate” is closest in meaning to......
A. sleep for winter
B. give birth
C. keep intact
D. hide from danger
Question 32: The word “some” refers to......
A. chicken

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.
Before the mid-nineteenth century, people in the United States ate most foods only in season. Drying, smoking and salting
could preserve meat for a short time, but the availability of fresh meat, like that of fresh milk, was very limited; there was no
way to prevent spoilage. But in 1810, a French inventor named Nicolas Appert developed the cooking-and-sealing process of
canning. And in the 1850’s an American named Gail Borden developed a means of condensing and preserving milk. Canned
goods and condensed milk became more common during the 1860’s, but supplies remained low because cans had to be made
by hand. By 1880, however, inventors had fashioned stamping and soldering machines that mass-produced cans from tin
plate. Suddenly all kinds of food could be preserved and bought at all times of the year.
Other trends and inventions had also helped make it possible for Americans to vary their daily diets. Growing urban
population created demand that encouraged fruit and vegetable farmers to raise more produce. Railroad refrigerator cars
enabled growers and meat packers to ship perishables great distances and to preserve them for longer periods. Thus, by the
1890’s, northern city-dwellers could enjoy southern and western strawberries, grapes, and tomatoes, previously available for
a month at most, for up to six months of the year. In addition, increased use of iceboxes enabled families to store perishables.
As easy means of producing ice commercially had been invented in the 1870’s, and by 1900 the nation had more than two
thousand commercial ice plants, most of which made home deliveries. The icebox became a fixture in most homes and
remained so until the mechanized refrigerator replaced it in the 1920’s and 1930’s.
Almost everyone now had a more diversified diet. Some people continued to eat mainly foods that were heavy in starches or
carbohydrates, and not everyone could afford meat. Nevertheless, many families could take advantage of previously
unavailable fruits, vegetables, and dairy products to achieve more varied fare.
Question 43: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Commercial production of ice.
B. Population movements in the nineteenth century.
C. Inventions that led to changes in the American diet.
D. Causes of food spoilage.
Question 44: The word "fixture" in line 14 is closest in meaning to.......
A. mechanical device

B. substance
C. commonplace object
D. luxury items
Question 45: The phrase "in season" in line 1 refers to.......
A. a method of flavoring B. a particular time of year
C. a kind of weather
D. an official schedule
Question 46: During the 1860’s, canned food products were........
A. available in limited quantities
B. a staple part of the American diet.
C. unavailable in rural areas
D. shipped in refrigerator cars
Question 47: The author implies that in the 1920's and 1930's home deliveries of ice.........
A. decreased in number B. increased in cost
C. were on an irregular schedule
D. occurred only in the summer
Question 48: The word "them" in line 10 refers to........
A. refrigerator cars
B. perishables
C. distances
D. growers
Question 49: Which of the following types of food preservation was NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Chemical additives
B. Drying
C. Cold storage
D. Canning
Question 50: Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?
A. Commercial ice factories were developed by railroad owners.
B. Most farmers in the United States raised only fruits and vegetables.
C. People who lived in cities demanded home delivery of foods.

D. Tin cans and iceboxes helped to make many foods more widely available.
