92. The word “lunar” in the beginning of
the second paragraph most nearly
means
(A) weak
(B) strong
(C) destructive
(D) related to the moon
(E) foolish
Reading: The term “tides” has come to
..........
The term “tides” has come to represent the
cyclical rising and falling of ocean waters,
most notably evident along the shoreline as
the border between land and sea moves in
and out with the passing of the day. The
primary reason for this constant
redefinition of the boundaries of the sea is
the gravitational force of the moon.
93. It can be inferred from the passage that
if one were to travel to the moon
(A) that water would be found on its
surface
(B) that an object, if dropped, would
float away from tile surface of the
moon
(C) that other planets besides the moon
have an influence on the tides of the
earth’s oceans
(D) that tides are more dramatic during
the day than during the night
(E) that an object, if dropped, would
fall to the moon’s surface
This force of lunar gravity is not as strong
as earth’s own gravitational pull, which
keeps our bodies and our homes from
being pulled off the ground, through the
sky, and into spare toward the moon. It is
a strong enough force, however, to exert a
certain gravitational pull as the moon
passes over the earth’s surface. This pull
causes the water level to rise (as the water is
literally pulled ever-so-slightly toward the
moon) in those parts of the ocean that are
exposed to the moon and its gravitational
forces. When the water level in one part of
the ocean rises, it must naturally fall in
another, and this is what causes water level
to change, dramatically at times, along any
given piece of coastline.
94. The author’s primary purpose in
writing this passage is to
(A) prove the existence of water on the
moon
(B) refute claims that tides are caused
by the moon
(C) explain the main cause of the
ocean’s tides
(D) argue that humans should not
interfere with the processes of nature
(E) convince students to study
astrophysics
91. Which one of the following is the most
obvious effect of the tides?
(A) A part of the beach that was once
dry is now underwater.
(B) Floods cause great damage during
heavy rainstorms.
(C) The moon is not visible.
(D) Waterfalls.
(E) The ocean rises.

island south of Australia. These are the
wombat and the Tasmanian devil.
Wombats are compact little burrowing
animals about three feet in length. They
are vegetarians, leaving their burrows at
night to feed on leaves, roots, and
vegetables. Wombats are said to make good
pets. Tasmanian devils, on the other hand,
do not make good pets. They are savage
animals that look something like small
bears. They kill and eat other animals and
have been made famous by the whirling,
ferocious character in animated cartoons.
Reading: A marsupial is a kind of
..........
A marsupial is a kind of mammal that
carries its young in an external pouch. The
kangaroo is probably the first marsupial
that comes to mind, but there are a
number of others. Most marsupials live in
the Americas and Australia. The opossum
is the only marsupial that lives in the
United States.
The opossum ranges from Canada in the
north all the way to Patagonia in South
America. Opossums are interesting animals
with long scaly tails by which they can
hang from tree branches. The young are
born before they are fully developed and
are about the size of a honeybee at birth.
An opossum stays in its mother’s pouch
for about two months and then clings to
her back for several more weeks.
All of these animals are marsupials, but
none of them is as well known as the
kangaroo. Kangaroos are the animals
people think of first when they think of
animals with pouches. Kangaroos are
native to Australia and come in all sizes.
The smallest are called wallabies and are
about the size of a rabbit. The largest, the
great kangaroos, may grow to be seven feet
tall and weigh 200 pounds. Fossils have
been found that show that there were once
kangaroos that were twice as big as any of
the kinds that are living today.
Other marsupials include the bandicoot,
the cuscus, and the dasyure. The bandicoot
lives in Australia and New Guinea, and the
cuscus lives in New Guinea, Indonesia, and
the northern tip of Australia. The dasyure
lives in Australia. Bandicoots vary in size,
but none of them are very large. The
largest bandicoots are about the size of a
rabbit, while the smallest are no larger than
a mouse. Bandicoots have pouches that
open at the bottom rather than at the top
like other marsupials. The cuscus is about
as big as a house cat. It is nocturnal and
makes its home in trees. It has woolly fur
everywhere except for the tip of its tail
which is covered with coarse scales. The
dasyure is a small, catlike marsupial. It has
short legs and a long, bushy tail.
A baby kangaroo is called a “joey.” It is
only about an inch long when it is born. It
finds its own way into the mother’s pouch
where it stays and grows, sometimes for as
long as six months.
Kangaroos are timid creatures. They live in
groups called “mobs.” They escape their
enemies by bounding along on their
powerful hind legs. Kangaroos are
vegetarians. They have very sharp teeth
and clip off and eat the grasses and herbs
very close to the ground. This makes them
a problem to stock raisers who have killed
many of them.
Two marsupials are native to Tasmania, an

Is anyone out there? That’s a question
many scientists want to answer. By ‘out
there,’ they mean beyond our solar system
to the other 400 billion stars in the Milky
Way Galaxy. To look for the answer, a
10year project, the Search for
Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI), was
launched on October 12, 1992. That was
the 500th anniversary of Columbus’s
arrival in the New World. On that day,
giant radio telescopes in Puerto Rico and
the Mojave Desert began to scan the skies.
They are listening for messages from space.
103. The Milky Way Galaxy has
_________ stars.
(A) 400 million
(B) 400 billion
(C) 4 trillion
(D) 10 billion
104. Which word in Paragraph 4 means
“a statement made to the general
public”?
(A) group
(B) message
(C) problem
(D) announcement
Some scientists are pretty sure there are
other civilizations beyond Earth. And that
we will hear from them sometime in the
next 10 years. After all, they reason, of the
400 billion stars in the Milky Way, almost
10% of them are very much like our sun. If
10% of those promising stars had one
planet similar to Earth, there could be
about 4 billion chances for intelligent life.
And if just one of those planets sent a
message to Earth, that communication
could be the most important ever made!
105. Which paragraph tells what SETI
stands for?
(A) 1
(B) 2
(C) 3
(D) 4
While they wait for a signal, scientists like
to imagine how an extraterrestrial might
look. Some think that it would look much
like a human, with eyes, arms, and two
legs. But extraterrestrials could look just as
strange as they do in movies and cartoons.
106. extraterrestrial : alien = started :
_________..
(A) scanned
(B) sent
(C) launched
(D) pretend
Scientists also wonder what they should do
if a message does arrive from outer space.

Reading: Situated in the central ..........
Lin Situated in the central mountains of Alaska, a peak named Denali rises 20,320 feet
above sea level. It is the highest peak in North America and the center of Denali
e
National Park. One of America’s greatest wilderness areas, the park has had limited
access to visitors, but in spite of this tourism rose from under 6,000 visitors in 1950 to
over 546,000 visitors in 1990. The increasing popularity of this park is prompting
serious discussions about the future use of Denali as well as how to preserve wilderness
5
areas in general.

One important issue of land use arises when parts of National Parks are owned by
individuals. In Denali, though most of the land in this vast tract of more than a million
10
acres is owned by the National Park Service, several thousand acres are still privately
owned as mining tram.. These mining tracts in Denali were once abundant sources of
gold, but they were sources of heavy metals such as arsenic and lead that polluted rivers
and streams. Environmentalists were successful in getting the government to require
mining companies to submit statements showing the potential impact of a mining
15
project before they are allowed to begin mining. Because of this requirement, many
individuals closed their mines and same sold their land to the National Park Service.
Some land owners, however, are wondering if it is better to sell their land to the
government or keep it for possible future use. Tourism in this previously remote area is
bound to rise, as more roads are built to provide easier access to the park. This increase
in the number of visitors creates a demand for hotels and other real estate development. 20
The economic implications of this are of interest to the land owners, but are dismaying
to those interested in preserving the wilderness.
