Q #1: What is all this talk of cicadas lately in the United States? You might be wondering why the media has featured it, but in fact, the discussion about cicadas has emerged about as predictably as the cicadas themselves from their underground refuge. Let's get oriented with some background on cicadas. What is a cicada? A typical definition will at least tell you that the cicada is large, loud insect with long transparent wings and it is mostly found in warm countries. A more detailed response might also inform you that cicadas have short antennae and wide-set eyes that jut out. With delicate, translucent wings — and that not only are the cicadas loud, but few creatures make a louder sound. In fact, it is the male cicadas that are the noisy ones to the tune of 80 to 100 decibels, with sound like the roar of a loud engine. This is because male cicadas make a strident, high buzzing sound by vibrating two membranes on the abdomen called tymbals, effectively turning its body into a kind of echo chamber or drum. Female cicadas cannot replicate the buzzing, though they respond with a clicking sound when they are ready to mate. Although there are several species of cicada, mating typically takes place in trees wherever the female deposits the eggs into the bank. When the eggs hatch, the larval cicadas, called nymphs, drop to the ground and burrow. They then live as nymphs for most of their lives over 6 feet underground with both male and female cicadas dying within weeks of their emergence from the soil. This is particularly true for North American cicadas especially the mogucicada. Which of the following events happens first after the male cicada calls to the female cicada, according to the passage?
A. The male and female mate in the trees
B. The female deposits the eggs
C. Nymphs drop to the ground
D. The female makes a clicking sound
Answer Explanation
When the male cicada calls out to the female cicada with the loud buzzing sound, the female would then respond with her own sounds.
According to the passage, female cicadas cannot replicate the buzzing, though they respond with a clicking sound when they are ready to mate. This is the next thing that happens after the male cicada calls out. -

Q #5: On February 2 of each year, the United States observes the unusual holiday Groundhog Day, a day of hope that winter is over and spring is beginning. The tradition has been officially observed in the US since the 1800s and is believed to have developed from European folk traditions in which a bear, fox, badger, or even hedgehog would serve as the symbolic metrologist. Although other cultures and towns observe Groundhog Day (or something similar) the town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania takes special pride in being home to the one true forecasting, the groundhog, Punxsutawney Grounding Club to perpetuate the joyful rituals and events surrounding Groundhog Day. Over the years, these rituals and events have come to include a scavenger hunt, a talent show, and a ball. Legend has it that on Groundhog Day the official weather-forecasting groundhog awakens from hibernation and comes out of his burrow to look for his shadow. If he sees his shadow, six more weeks of winter are to come and Punxsutawney Phil goes back to bed. However, if he does not see his shadow, Punxsutawney Phil takes this as a sign that spring has arrived and he remains above ground. Of course, common sense tells us that February 2 is too early for spring to begin and that while animals may be attuned to various elements of nature from which humans might learn, they are unlikely to act on their instincts based on a schedule set by the Gregorian calendar. Nevertheless, a visit to Pennsylvania to the Punxsutawney Phil and all the fun inspires each year might provide the loath of hope needed to reach the end of winter. Which of the following pairs of search terms entered into a search engine with the phrase “Groundhog Day” is likely to produce information about the origin of Grounding Day?
A. Habitat and diet
B. Weather and farming
C. History and folklore
D. Holiday and festivities
Answer Explanation
The passage is about the origin of the ground hog day and the legend around it.

Q #6: A day with Humpbacks I sat on the deadlands of Neah Bay, Washington, and watch a mother humpback and her calf slip through the icy Pacific waters. I recognize this effluence by her distinctive tall patterns, as unique to this humpback, as my fingerprints are to me. Once, heavy hunting using harpoons extirpated populations of humpbacks to recover. As this gray female rises to the surface, she exhales, sending up a spout nearly 20 feet high. She rolls on her side and lifts her scalloped edge flipper in salute the slaps it on the water. I adjust my lens and take shot. This is the only type of whale hunting I find acceptable – hunting with a camera. Which of the following statements about the passage is true?
A. In the passage, the water argues the benefits of photographing whales to enable their identification
B. In the passage, the writer argues that beluga whales are so endangered, you should only hunt them with your camera.
C. In the passage, the writer describes taking many photographs as the whale frolics in the icy Pacific Ocean
D. In the passage, the writer describes the whale surfacing, exhaling, and slapping her flipper on the water.
Answer Explanation
This is supported by the statements: “I watch a mother humpback and her calf slip through the icy Pacific waters.” and “As this gray female rises to the surface, she exhales, sending up a spout nearly 20 feet high.

Q #9: Dear Aunt Suzanne, I have a few minutes before I get on the bus from Galway back to Dublin and wanted to tell you how my class trip to Ireland is going. We just spent 2 days on inis Mor, the largest of the Aran Islands, which are just off the central west coast of Ireland. We took a ferry from Galway, a ride that takes about an hour and was quite gray and stormy. For an island that is only about 12 square miles, there is a lot to do and see on this Mor! After eating steak and vegetable stew and brown bread with butter, we went to the sweater market, where all kinds of woolen products are sold. The Aran Islands are known for their wool because sheep thrive here and generations have used woolen sweaters and hats to survive long cold days of fishing on the open sea. In fact, I learned that each family or clan has its own signature knitting pattern and some are able to tell which family someone belongs to by the pattern of their sweater! The healthy pattern is an interesting combination of twists and braids and I found you a birthday souvenir with a beautiful example. Which of the following sentences accurately summarizes the passage? The next day, we rented bicycles and toured the island. We saw ancient rums, a prehistoric hill fort, and a white sand beach. We climbed down to a mysterious rock formation known as the “wormhole,” a rectangular hole in a stone shore that fills with thrashing waves ad looks like houses of a terrible serpent. The wormhole will be difficult to find, and when we stopped someone for directions, she only spoke Galect. Sometimes this island seems stuck in an earlier fame.
A. On a personal trip abroad, Eva is focused on seeing as much as possible in a short amount of time gathering souvenirs for everyone she knows
B. In an email to ger aunt, Eva reports that the Aran Islands contain a strong agricultural community with long-standing traditions
C. In an email to her aunt, Eva brags about touring Ireland and the extravagant purchases she made there
D. On a school trip to Ireland, Eva has spent time in the Aran islands, where she learned about the culture and visited several significant landmarks
