Q: 1 On November 5, 1966, British artist Tom Phillips was rummaging through a warehouse full of bargain books when he found
an old, hardbound Victorian novel by W. H. Mallock. The book, which Phillips purchased for mere pennies, was titled A
Human Document,
and he decided to make it the raw material for his next art project: a mixed-media book of erasure poetry. This project
would later bloom into a decades-long obsession, as he continued to _____ the near-forgotten novel into a kaleidoscopic
work of art.

Q: 2 There was just one problem, according to scholars in the emerging field of behavioral economics: humans aren’t rational.
In the real world, people make irrational economic decisions all the time. For instance, studies of savings behavior show

_________ in the workers’ interest. Behavioral economists who have studied the issue blame the “default effect,”
according to which people given a choice tend to favor the option presented as the default or status quo.

Q: 3 Newcomers were always treated with indifference. Even if you were the best guitar player, or cuíca player, or composer, or
cavaquinho player, in the world, you had to be invited to join the circle. Don’t even think about joining and fighting to set
the pace right away-newcomers only follow. The batucada-that glorious, improvised roda sound- was like a school of fish,
sometimes, floating serenely together, sometimes darting faster than you could keep up with, but you had to earn the right
to lead that school. And the songs? Don’t even think about playing a lighthearted marchinha-those were for once a year,
for Carnaval, for outsiders. Samba in the roda had mirth but it wasn’t a party; it was a lament. When you play samba on the
roda, you laugh at your own misery. You and your loneliness hold hands and traipse through the music, in awe of how
pathetic and glorious you both are.

Q: 4 Equally clear is the right to hear. To suppress free speech is a double wrong. It violates the rights of the hearer as well as
those of the speaker. It is just as criminal to rob a man of his right to speak and hear as it would be to rob him of his
money. I have no doubt that Boston will vindicate this right. But in order to do so, there must be no concessions to the
enemy. When a man is allowed to speak because he is rich and powerful, it aggravates the crime of denying the right to
the poor and humble.

Q: 5 Text 1
Earth is the only known planet that has plate tectonics, and this activity has been proposed as one necessary condition for
the evolution of life. Planetary scientist Diana Valencia and her colleagues found that as planetary mass increases, there is
an increase in the shear stress [stress parallel to a planet's surface] and a decrease in the plate thickness. Both of these
factors weaken the plates and contribute to plate subduction, which is a key component of plate tectonics. Therefore, the
scientists say, the conditions required for plate deformation and subduction are easily met by super-Earths. Their results
show that this is particularly true for the larger super-Earths.

Text 2
Once they had an idea of what an exoplanet’s mantle and crust might look like, geochemically speaking, the scientists were
able to determine whether that exoplanet’s crust would be dense enough to sink into the mantle, just as Earth’s oceanic
plates do at places like the Cascadia subduction zone - North America’s 1,000-kilometer-long chain of volcanoes built as
one plate takes a deep dive beneath another. Making the calculation involved rigorous modeling: As pressures and
temperatures mount during a plate’s descent, atoms in
the plate undergo a reorganization that makes the plate denser. Should the plate remain denser than the surrounding
mantle then the plate would continue to sink. If that is the case, plate tectonics might thrive for billions of years. But if it
odess not and the plate stalls, then plate tectonics would shut down, crippling life’s chances. The results paint a rather
depressing result as far as habitability is concerned: At least two thirds of the simulated planets build a crust that is too
buoyant to sink.

In response to the findings stated in Text 1, what would the author of Text 2 most likely point out?

A. The crusts of the super-Earths lack the thermal energy needed to cause deformation and subduction.
B. Conditions required for plate tectonics to occur vary according to the mass of the planet.
✓ Your Ans C. The buoyancy of most super-Earths’ plates overcomes other forces that sustain ongoing plate
deformation and subduction.
D. There is no direct method for analyzing the geochemical composition of super-Earths.

Q: 6 The text is adapted from a speech delivered in 1918 by Jeannette Rankin, During the First World War,
Representative Rankin spoke at a congressional debate about amending the US Constitution to grant women
suffrage.

Deep down in the hearts of the American people is a living faith in democracy. Sometimes it is not expressed in the most
effective way. Sometimes it seems almost forgotten. But when the test comes, we find it still there, groping and aspiring and
helping men and
women to understand each other and their common needs. It is our national religion and it prompts in us the desire for that
measure of justice which is based on equal opportunity, equal protection, equal freedom for all. In our hearts we know that
desire can be realized
only when “those who submit to authority have a voice in their own government”-whether that government be political,
industrial or social.

Based on the text, what reason would Rankin likely suggest for why it is wrong for a democratic government to deny
suffrage to women?

✓ Your Ans A. The full set of essential liberties and protections in a democracy is unavailable to those denied the right to
choose elected representatives.
B. The nation’s founding documents enshrine the principle that a representative government is invalid if
rights are restricted.
C. Only if both men and women have the right to vote can people address the serious problems that arise in
a democracy.
D. People’s faith in democracy is weakened when there is a continual need to remind national leaders of its
tenets.

Q: 7 When Spribille and his colleagues analyzed Bryoria’s RNA-the messenger form of DNA-they discovered something
amazing. “We found that there was this third thing, riding along in every single sample,” he said, referring to the previously
unknown basidiomycete. [...] The final proof that this was not an elaborate hoax came when the researchers developed
green fluorescent markers that attach to specific RNA sequences in the basidiomycete, and blue markers that attach to
complementary RNA sequences in the other fungus, an ascomycete. Sure enough, when they added these markers to
samples of lichen tissue, the cells of a hidden fungal partner glowed under the microscope. We can’t be certain the second
fungus is present in all lichens. Spribille’s study only looked at the lichens in the Parmeliaceae family, the most widespread
and successful group on Earth today. But the entire lineage is vast and ancient, and it’s possible some groups split off on
the evolutionary tree before the basidiomycetes arrived on the scene.

Based on the text, what is true about basidiomycete yeast?

✓ Correct Ans A. It may have been absent in distant ancestors of the lichens that Spribille studied.
B. It may have initially developed as a result of lichen contamination during earlier studies.
C. It may be impossible to reproduce from cultures in a laboratory setting.
✗ Your Ans D. It may be a necessary component of symbiotic organisms other than lichens.

Q: 8 The natural-ice trade began to decline from the early decades of the twentieth century, though in more remote areas of
North America where electric power was not available but lake ice was abundant in winter, it survived as late as the 1950s.
As ice harvesting died out, the evidence of its former vast scale rapidly disappeared. There was no alternative use for the
great ice-houses, many of which simply burned down, often set alight by a spark from a steam train-they were surprisingly
flammable, as most were made of wood and kept as dry as possible to better preserve the blocks of ice they housed. But
the majority were demolished or simply rotted away.

What is the main idea of the text?

✓ Your Ans A. The natural-ice industry declined over several decades, leaving few traces of its magnitude.
B. The arrival of the steam train signaled the demise of ice harvesting.
C. Icehouses were extremely flammable and therefore few remain.
D. In the 1950s, the natural-ice industry experienced a short-lived revival.

Q: 9 Macdonald dated a volcanic region, called the Franklin Large Igneous Province (LIP). He discovered the Franklin LIP
became active close to when the first snowball Earth event began around 717 million years ago. Macdonald and Robin
Wordsworth used a combination of geologic evidence and modeling to test whether the Franklin LIP could be the culprit. In
a new study, they show that Franklin LIP’s volcanic activity could have caused extreme climate change. That is because of
a unique combination of factors: First, the Franklin LIP formed in an area rich in sulfur; as it erupted, large plumes of hot
gas and dust would have lofted sulfur particles kilometers into the air.
Sulfur particles block the incoming sun and also keep heat from escaping Earth, which can create either a warming or
cooling effect, depending on the location. That’s why the next piece of physical evidence is key - geologic records show the
Franklin LIP sat at the equator where Earth receives more solar energy than the amount of heat it radiates back out to
space. According to the researchers’ model, if enough sulfur particles reached high enough into the atmosphere at this
equatorial location, it would block enough of the sun’s
incoming energy to trigger runaway cooling.

Based on the text, which additional finding, if true, would most likely help validate Macdonald and Wordsworth’s
hypothesis?

A. Several volcanic regions extending beyond the Franklin LIP were also found to be rich in sulfur.
B. The amount of sulfur emitted during volcanic eruptions in the Franklin LIP was less than the amount of
carbon dioxide emitted.
✓ Your Ans C. Volcanic eruptions in the Franklin LIP were powerful enough to propel sulfur particles to an altitude where
they could redirect solar energy.
D. Volcanic activity occurring in the Franklin LIP caused the breakup of Rodinia into several smaller
landmasses.

Q: 38 This text is adapted from the memoir The Piano Shop on the Left Bank by Thad Carhart (©2001 by T.E.Carhart).

His attitude about how people treated their pianos seemed to mirror his philosophy of life. While regretting the
depredations worked by children on keyboards and strings, he regarded them as tolerable because the piano was at least
used and, as he put it, “au sein de la famille” (“at the heart of the family”). It was more than just any piece of furniture, but it
was that, too, and if drinks were spilled and stains bit into shiny finishes, it was the price one paid for initiating the young to
a joy that should stem from familiarity rather than reverence.

According to the text, what is true about Luc’s philosophy of life?

✓ Correct Ans A. It’s better to live a full and imperfect life than not participate because something might go wrong.
B. Life is a fragile gift that must be cherished and kept safe at all times.
✗ Your Ans C. Living well is like playing the piano well; it requires dedication and practice.
D. It’s important not to take life’s opportunities for granted because they may not come a second time.
