Read the selection below. Select the letter of the best answer to the following questions: Orville and Wilbur Wright built their own wind tunnel to test airfoils and measure how to lift a flying machine into the sky. They were the first to discover that a long, narrow wing shape is ideal for flight. They figured out how to move the vehicle freely, not just across land but up and down on a cushion of air. They buiit a moveable part of the tail to control the pitch of their craft as it nosed up and down. They fashioned a pair of twin rudders in back to control its tendency to swerve off course. They devised a pulley system that warped the shape of the wings in mid-flight to turn the plane and to stop it from rolling side-to-side. They used the data from their wind-tunnel experiments to design the first effective airplane propellers. When they discovered that a lightweight gas-powered engine did not exist, they designed and built their own. What is the main idea of this text?

The genius of the Wright brothers

What does pitch mean in the context of this article?

Deviation from the horizontal

What are the airfoils?

Parts that react against the air

A major problem that the article mentions is an airplane's tendency to ___________.

be unsteady

Read the text then answer the following questions: The most important source of sediment is sarth and rock material carried to the sea by rivers and streams; the same materials may also have been transported by glaciers and winds. Other sources are volcanic ash and lava, shells and skeletons of organisms, chemical precipitates formed in seawater, and particles from outer space. Water is a most unusual substance because it exists on the surface of the earth in its three physical states: ice, water, and water vapour. There are other substances that might exist in a solid and liquid or gaseous state at temperatures normally found at the earth's surface, but there are no other substances which occur in all three states. Water is odorless, tasteless, and colorless. It is the only substance known to exist in a natural state as a solid, liquid, or gas on the surface of the earth. It is a universal solvent. Water does not corrode, rust, burn, or separate into its components easily. It is chemically indestructible. It can corrode almost any metal and erode the most solid rock. A unique property of water is that it expands and floats on water when frozen or in the solid state. Water has a freezing point of 0°C and boiling point of 100°C. Water has the capacity for absorbing great quantities of heat with relatively little increase in temperature. When distilled, water is a poor conductor of electricity but when salt is added, it is a good conductor of electricity. Sunlight is the source of energy for temperature change, evaporation, and current for the water movement through the atmosphere. Sunlight controls the rate of photosynthesis for all marine plants, which are directly or indirectly the source of food for all marine animals. Migration, breeding, and other behaviours of marine animals are affected by light. Water, as the ocean or sea, is blue because of the molecular scattering of the sunlight. Blue light, being of short wavelength, is scattered more effectively than light of longer wavelengths. Variations of color may be because of particles suspended in the water, water depth, cloud cover, temperature, and other variable factors. Heavy concentrations of dissolved materials cause a yellowish hue, which algae will cause the water to look green. Heavy populations of plant and animal materials will cause the water to look brown. Which of the topics best organizes the information in the text?

Properties of water, its physical states, effects of the sun on water.

According to the passage, what is the most unique property of water?

Water exists on the surface of the earth in three physical states.

Which of the following best defines the word distilled as it is used in the last sentence of the third paragraph?

Read the selection below. Select the letter of the best answer to the following questions. Medical knowledge in ancient Egypt had an excellent reputation, and rulers of other empires would ask the Egyptian pharaoh to send them their best physician to treat their loved ones. Egyptians had some knowledge of human anatomy, even though they never dissected the body. For example, in the classic mummification process, they knew how to insert a long hooked implement through a nostril, breaking the thin bone of the brain case and removing the brain. Egyptian physicians also were aware of the importance of the pulse and of a connection between pulse and heart. They developed their theory of "channels" that carried air, water, and blood to the body by observing the River Nile. If the Nile became blocked, crops became unhealthy. They applied their theory to the body-if a person was unwell, they would use laxatives to unblock the "channels." What is the main idea of this selection?

Medical knowledge in ancient Egypt

What would happen if the Nile river was blocked?

Crops would wither and die.

To aid in mummification

Which of the following is evidence that Egyptians were masters of human anatomy even if they did not perform dissection of human bodies?

Read the text then answer the following questions: An international education initiative, known as global competence, was first noted in 1988 in a report published by the Council on International Education Exchange. Higher education institutions were enjoined to send students on exchange programs to universities abroad where Americans are not the majority population and where English is not the dominant language. Educational scholars have proposed definitions for the term global competence and postulates regarding the required knowledge, skills, attitudes, and experience necessary to become globally competent. Cross-cultural awareness and interaction, familiarity with an environment, intercultural facility, effective two-way communication, interconnectedness of people and systems, acceptance of people and their different cultural values and attitudes are integral components of global competence.
