VII. Reading Comprehension (6%)
Of Leonardo da Vinci’s many areas of study, perhaps this Renaissance man’s favorite
was the area of aviation. Da Vinci seemed truly excited by the possibility of people flying
in the sky like birds.
One of da Vinci’s most famous inventions, the flying machine, also known as the
ornithopter, ideally displays his powers of observation and imagination as well as his
enthusiasm for the potential of flight. The design for this invention is clearly inspired by
the flight of winged animals, which da Vinci hoped to replicate. In fact, in his notes, he
mentions bats, kites and birds as sources of inspiration.
Perhaps the inspiration of the bat stands out the most, as the two wings of the device
feature pointed ends commonly associated with the winged creature. Leonardo da Vinci’s
flying machine had a 33-feet-long wingspan, and the frame was to be made of pine tree
covered in silk to create a light but strong wing.
VI. Grammar Choice (8%)
70. We hope by the time students complete our program, they _____ how to think
critically and communicate effectively.

The pilot would lie face down in the center of the invention on a board. To power the
wings, the pilot would pedal a crank connected to a rod-and-pulley system. The machine
also had a hand crank for more energy output, and a headpiece for steering. As the busy
pilot spun cranks with his hands and feet, the wings of the machine flapped. The
inspiration of nature in the invention is apparent in the way the wings were designed to
twist as they flapped.
Unfortunately, as da Vinci himself might have realized, while the flying machine
may have flown once it was in the air, a person could never have created enough power
to get the device off the ground.
79. What is the best title for this passage?
(A) Learning the Secrets of Winged Animals
(B) The Development of Flying Machines
(C) An Introduction to da Vinci’s Best Collection of Inventions
(D) Leonardo da Vinci's Complex Ornithopter
80. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
(A) It is considered that the design of the device’s two wings is inspired by birds the
most.
(B) No matter how strong a pilot is, he is unable to make the flying machine leave
the
ground.
(C) Leonardo spent most of his life exploring the possibility of human flying in the
sky.
(D) A person can produce enough power to flap the wings of the device by using foot
crank only.
88. All my neighbors in this area are so friendly and helpful that I feel lucky to live in
