II. Answer these questions

When a strong earthquake occurs on the ocean floor rather than on land, a tremendous force
use exerted on the sweater and one or larger, destructive waves called tsunamis can be formed.
Tsunamis are commonly called tidal waves in the United States, but this is really an inappropriate
name in that the cause of the tsunami is an underground earthquake rather than the ocean’s tides.
Far from land, a tsunami can move through the wide-open vastness of the ocean at a speed of
600 miles (900 kilometers) per hour and often can travel tremendous distances without losing height
and strength. When a tsunami reaches shallow coastal water, it can reach a height of 100 feet (30
meters) or more and can cause tremendous flooding and damage to coastal areas.
1. The paragraph preceding the passage most probably discuss

A. Tsunamis in various parts of the world
B. The negative effects of tsunamis
C. Land based earthquakes
D. The effect of tides on tsunamis
2. Which of the following is most likely the topic of the paragraph following the passage?
A. The causes of tsunamis
B. The destructive effects of tsunamis on the coast
C. The differences between tsunamis and tidal waves
D. The distances covered by tsunamis
Chamber music received its name because it was originally intended to be performed in small
rooms in private homes rather than huge concert halls or theaters. Today it has evolved into small
esemble music in which each performer in the ensemble plays an individual part.
The compositions written for this type of performance can easily be classified into three distinct
periods, each with its style of music an instrumentation. In the earliest period (1450-1650), the viol
and other instrumental families developed considerably, and instrumental music took its first steps
towards equal footing with vocal music. In the second period (1650-1750), trio sonatas dominated.
These ensemble compositions were often written for two violins and a cello; the harpsichord was also
featured in various compositions of this period. In the modern period (after 1750), the preponderance
of chamber music was written for the string quarter, an ensemble composed of two violins, a viola,
and a cello.
3. Where in the passage does the author discuss the modern definition of chamber music?
A. Lines 2-3
B. Lines 4-5
C. Lines 8-9
D. Lines 9-10
4. Where in the passage dose the author discuss the period when ensembles for three
instruments predominated?
A. Lines 2-3
B. Lines 4-5
C. Lines 7-9
D. Lines 9-11
5. Where in the passage does the author mention music written for four strings?
A. Lines 2-3
B. Lines 4-5
C. Lines 7-9
D. Lines 9-11
Two types of trees from the same family of trees share honors in certain respects as the most impressive
of trees. Both evergreen conifers, the California redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) and the giant sequoia
(Sequoiandendron giganteum) are found growing natively only on the state of California.
The California redwood is found along the northern coast of the state, while the giant sequoia is found inland
and at higher elevations, along the western slopes of the Sierra Nevadas.
The California redwood is the tallest living tree and is in fact the tallest living thing on the face of the Earth;
the height of the tallest redwood on record is 385 feet (120 meters). Though not quite as tall as the California
redwood, with the height of 320 feet (100 meters), the giant sequoia is nonetheless the largest and most
massive of living things; giant sequoias have been measured at more than 100 feet (30 meters) around base,
with weights of more than 6,000 tons.
6. It is implied in the passage that
A. The leaves of only the California redwood turn brown in the autumn
B. The leaves of only the giant sequoia turn brown in the winter
C. The leaves of both types of trees in the passage turn brown in the winter
D. The leaves of neither type of tree in the passage turn brown in the winter
7. It can be inferred from the passage that the Sierra Nevadas are
A. A type of giant redwood
B. A coastal community
C. A group of lakes
D. A mountain range
8. Which of the following is implied in the passage?
A. The giant sequoia is taller than the California redwood
B. The California redwood is not as big around as the giant sequoia
C. The California redwood weighs more than the giant sequoia
D. Other living things are larger than the giant sequoia
The full moon that occurs nearest the equinox of the Sun has become known as the Harvest
Moon. It is a bright moon which allows farmers to work late into the night for several nights;

course occurs at different times of the year in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. In the
Northern Hemisphere, the Harvest Moon occurs in September at the time of the autumnal
equinox. In the Southern Hemisphere, the Harvest Moon occurs in March at the time of the vernal
equinox.

A. the equinox B. the Sun C. the Harvest Moon D. the night
10. The pronoun "they" in line 3 refers to

A. farmers B. nights C. times of the year D. northern and Southern Hemispheres
Scientists have discovered the bones of what may be the largest meat-eating dinosaur ever to walk
the earth. The discovery was made by a team of researchers from Argentina and North America in
Patagonia, a desert on the eastern slopes of the Andes in South America. Besides the interesting fact
that the dinosaur was huge and horrifying, it is even more astounding that the bones of a number of
the dinosaurs were found together. This discovery challenges the prior theory that the biggest meat-
eaters lived as loners and instead indicates that they may have lived and hunted in packs. The
Tyrannosaurus Rex lived in North America and was believed to hunt and live alone.
The newly discovered meat-eater appears to be related to the Giganotosaurus family, being as
closely related to it as a fox would be to a dog. It is actually not of the same family at all as the
Tyrannosaurus Rex, being as different from it as a cat is from a dog.
The fossilized remains indicate that the animals lived about 100 million years ago. With needle-
shaped noses and razor-sharp teeth, they were larger than the Tyrannosaurus Rex, although their legs
were slightly shorter, and their jaws were designed to be better able to dissect their prey quickly and
precisely.
11. The author states that the newly discovered dinosaur remains are evidence that it was the
largest A. dinosaur ever.
B. carnivorous dinosaur.
C. herbivorous dinosaur.
D. South American dinosaur.
12. The word Besides in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to

A. in spite of.
B. in addition to.
C. although.
D. mostly.
13. The word horrifying in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to
A. frightening.
B. large.
C. fast.
D. interesting.
14. The word astounding in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to

A. terrifying.
B. pleasing.
C. displeasing.
D. surprising.
