Questions 1-11
With its radiant color and plantlike shape, the sea anemone looks more like a flower than
an animal. More specifically, the sea anemone is formed quite like the flower for which it is
named, with a body like a stem and tentacles like petals in brilliant shades of blue, green,
pink, and red. Its diameter varies from about six millimeters in some species to more than
ninety centimeters in the giant varieties of Australia. Like corals, hydras, and jellyfish, sea
anemones are coelenterates. They can move slowly, but more often they attach the lower
part of their cylindrical bodies to rocks, shells, or wharf pilings. 'The upper end of the sea
anemone has a mouth surrounded by tentacles that the animal uses to capture its food.
Stinging cells in the tentacles throw out tiny poison threads that paralyze other small sea
animals. The tentacles then drag this prey into the sea anemone's mouth. The food is
digested in the large inner body cavity. When disturbed, a sea anemone retracts its tentacles
and shortens its body so that it resembles a lump on a rock. Anemones may reproduce by
forming eggs, dividing in half, or developing buds that grow and break off as independent
animals.
5. It can be inferred from the passage that sea anemones are usually found
(A) attached to stationary surfaces
(B) hidden inside cylindrical objects
(C) floating among underwater flowers
(D) searching for food
10. Based on the information in the passage, all of the following statements about sea
anemones are true EXCEPT that they
(A) are usually tiny
(B) have flexible bodies
(C) are related to jellyfish
(D) arc usually brightly colored
11. Where does the author mention the, sea anemone's food-gathering technique?

(C) Lines 7-10
(D) Lines 11-14
Questions 12-23
Barbara Kasten is an artist who makes photographs of constructions that she creates for
the purpose of photographing them. In her studio she arranges objects such as mirrors, solid
forms, and flat surfaces into what could be called large still life arrangements, big enough to
walk into .She lights the construction, then rearranges and rephotographs it until she arrives
at a final image. She also photographs away from her studio at various architectural sites,
bringing camera, lights mirrors, and a crew of assistants to transform the site into her own
abstract image.
Kasten starts a studio construction with a simple problem, such as using several circular
and rectangular mirrors . She puts the first objects in place, sets up a camera, then goes back
and forth arranging objects and seeing how they appear in the camera. Eventually she makes
instant color prints to see what the image looks like. At first she works only with objects,
concentrating on their composition; then she lights them and adds color from lights covered
with colored filters .
Away from the studio, at architectural sites, the cost of the crew and the equipment rental
means she has to know in advance what she wants to do. She visits each location several
times to make sketches and test shots. Until she brings in the lights, however, she cannot
predict exactly what they will do to the image, so there is some improvising on the spot.
13. Which of the following would be an example of one of the "constructions" referred to
in line 1?
(A) A still life arrangement
(B) Natural landscapes
(C) An instant color print
(D) A colored filter
16. It can be inferred from the passage that Kasten makes instant prints to
(A) give away
(B) sell as souvenirs
(C) include as part of the construction
(D) see what the construction looks like at that stage
21. Why does Kasten visit the location of outdoor work before the day of the
actual shooting?
(A) To plan the photograph
(B) To purchase film and equipment
(C) To hire a crew
(D) To test the lights
22. How is Kasten's studio work different from her work at architectural sites ?
(A) She does not use lights outdoors.
(B) Her work outdoors is more unpredictable.
(C) She works alone outdoors.
(D) She makes more money from her work outdoors .
23. Where in the passage does the author suggest that the constructions that Kasten
photographs are life-sized?
(A) Lines2-4
(B) Lines 5-7
(C) Lines 12- 14
(D) Lines 16-I7
Questions 24-33
The temperature of the Sun is over 5.000 degrees Fahrenheit at the surface, but it rises to
perhaps more than 16 million degrees at the center. The Sun is so much hotter than the Earth
that matter can exist only as a gas , except at the core. In the core of the Sun, the pressures are
so great against the gases that, despite the high temperature, there may be a small solid core.
However, no one really knows, since the center of the Sun can never be directly observed.
Solar astronomers do know that the Sun is divided into five layers or zones. Starting at
the outside and going down into the Sun, the zones are the corona, chromosphere , photo-
sphere, convection zone, and finally the core. The first three zones are regarded as the Sun's
atmosphere. But since the Sun has no solid surface, it is hard to tell where the atmosphere
ends and the main body of the Sun begins.
The Sun's outermost layer begins about 10,000 miles above the visible surface and goes
outward for millions of miles. This is the only part of the Sun that can be seen during an
eclipse such as the one in February 1979. At any other time, the corona can he seen only
when special instruments are used on cameras and telescopes to shut out the glare of the
Sun's rays.
The corona is a brilliant, pearly white, filmy light, about as bright as the full Moon. Its
beautiful rays are a sensational sight during an eclipse. The corona's rays flash out in a
brilliant fan that has wispy spikelike rays near the Sun's north and south poles. The corona
is thickest at the Sun's equator .
The corona rays are made up of gases streaming outward at tremendous speeds and
reaching a temperature of more than 2 million degrees Fahrenheit. The rays of gas thin out
as they reach the space around the planets- By the time the Sun's corona rays reach the
Earth, they are weak and invisible.
26. A1l of the following are Parts of the Sun 's atmosphere EXCEPT the
(A) corona
(B) chromosphere
(C) photosphere
(D) core
29. It can be inferred from the passage that a clear view of the Sun's outer layer is
usually prevented by
(A) the Sun's rays
(B) an eclipse
(C) lack of light
(D) the great distance
31 . According to the passage, as the corona rays reach the planets, they become
(A) hotter
(B) clearer
(C) thinner
(D) stronger
32. The paragraphs following the passage most likely discuss which of the following?
(A) The remaining layers of the Sun
(B) The evolution of the sun to its present form
(C) The eclipse of February 1 979
(D) The scientists who study astronomy
33.Where in the passage does the author compare the light of the Sun's outermost layer
to that of another astronomical body?
(A) Lines 2-3
(B) Lines 9-10
(C) Line 16
(D) Lines 22-23
Questions 34-42 .
Many of the computing patterns used today in elementary arithmetic, such as those for
performing long multiplications and divisions, were developed as late as the fifteenth
century. Two reasons are usually advanced to account for this tardy development, namely,
the mental difficulties and the physical difficulties encountered in such work.
The first of these, the mental difficulties, must be somewhat discounted. The impression
that the ancient numeral systems are not amenable to even the simplest calculations is
largely based on lack of familiarity with these systems. It is clear that addition and
subtraction in a simple grouping system require only ability to count the number symbols of
each kind and then to convert to higher units. No memorization of number combinations is
needed .In a ciphered numeral system , if sufficient addition and multiplication tables have
been memorized , the work can proceed much as we do it today .
The physical difficulties encountered, however, were quite real . Without a plentiful and
convenient supply of some suitable writing medium, any very extended development of the
arithmetic process was bound to be hampered .It must be remembered that our common
machine-made pulp paper is little more than a hundred years old. The older rag paper was
made by hand and was consequently expensive and scarce.
38. The author states that doing calculations in a simple grouping system requires
(A) memorizing numerical combinations
(B) using an adding machine
(C) producing large quantities of a writing medium
(D) converting number symbols to higher units
41 . The author describes old rag paper as all of the following EXCEPT
(A) handmade
(B) costly
(C) scarce
(D) delicate
Questions 43-50 .
The ecosystems of the Earth provide an array of free public services that are essential for
the support of civilizations . They maintain the quality of` the atmosphere , provide food from
the sea. Manufacture and replenish soils, recycle wastes and nutrients, control the
overwhelming majority of crop pests and disease vectors, and so on.. People have no idea
how to take over these activities satisfactorily. They do know, however, that the theory once
advanced in the nineteenth century - that the productivity of the land can he infinitely
increased by the application of capital, labor, and science- is wrong. History has shown
that once the natural life-support systems of a civilization have been sufficiently damaged,
they cannot usually be repaired. The ancient deforestation and overgrazing of the
Mediterranean region is a famous example. And today ,a global civilization is ruining the
global environment.
46. Which of the following could NOT be included under the "free public services"
listed in lines 2-4?
(A) Preventing overgrazing by domestic animals
(B) Providing natural animals for harmful insects
(C) Creating and enriching material for plant growth
(D) Supplying air for breathing
49. The author suggests that civilizations can survive only if they
(A) greatly expand scientific research
(B) do not destroy the balance of natural processes
(C) replant the forests in the Mediterranean region
(D) invent new procedures to replace obsolete ecosystems
50. The author suggests that the difference between the ancient and the modern
situation is that today the problem is
(A) worldwide
(B) better understood
(C) more manageable
(D) economic
