In July of 1848, a women’s rights convention was held in Seneca Falls, New York. A group of women had decided it was time for the public to be made aware of discrimination against 5 women. One of the women in charge of the convention, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, wrote up a document defining its goals. This document was written in a way that resembled the Declaration of Independence but changed phrases like “all men had been created equal” to “all men and women had been created equal.” The document contained eleven sections in which Stanton argued that women deserved all the same rights as men, including the right to vote. 10 This idea of giving women the right to vote was considered so radical that even women at the convention were uncomfortable in making it a goal. However, Stanton stood her ground because she felt that if women could attain the right to vote, it would serve as the foundation for achieving any other rights they needed. The convention, not very well advertised, was attended by three hundred people, including 15 forty men. All the ideas set forth in Stanton’s document passed unanimously except for one: the goal of working towards women gaining the right to vote. However, Frederick Douglass, a former slave known for being quite articulate, convinced enough people to pass the resolution. A total of one hundred people signed the document, although some people later removed their names after receiving criticism. 20 The convention received widespread criticism and ridicule. Nonetheless, this response did not thwart the efforts of women like Stanton, who continued for years to work for rights for women, especially their right to vote. When women did finally achieve the right to vote in 1920, seventy-two years after the Seneca Falls Convention, only one woman who had attended the Convention, Charlotte Woodward, was still alive and able to cast a ballot.

Whether we’re eating them baked in bread, sliced in an ice cream sundae, or just peeled and plain, Americans consume 26.2 pounds of bananas per person every year. But unless scientists 5 develop some agricultural advances soon, the banana may all but disappear within the next decade. Fusarium oxysporum The Cavendish banana, the most widely grown banana in the world, is falling prey to a fungal infection called , or Panama Disease. This disease has already wiped out Cavendish populations in the Philippines and Malaysia, and is expected to find its way to Central 10 and South America and Africa soon. The disease devastates banana crops for two reasons. First, there is no known pesticide that can successfully kill the culprit. Second, bananas don’t grow from seeds; instead, banana farmers clone previous generations. Cloned plants are exact replicas of their parents—that means if the parent plant is susceptible to Panama Disease, the plant’s cloned “children” will be, too. 15 It is ironic that the Cavendish banana is now being wiped out by Panama Disease because it is this fungus that made the Cavendish a star to begin with. For many years, most people ate the Gros Michel, or “Big Mike,” banana. The Gros Michel was larger than the Cavendish, had a longer shelf life, and—it was widely agreed—tasted better, but unfortunately, it was very susceptible to Panama disease, which first began to devastate banana plantations in the 1950s. 20 In response to this crisis, the banana industry hit upon the Cavendish, a Vietnamese cultivar that could flourish in the same soil in which a Gros Michel tree became sickly. Because the Cavendish seemed to be immune to Panama Disease, banana growers all over the world began to replace the Gros Michel with its smaller, blander cousin. Now, the Cavendish too is threatened, thanks to a new strain of Panama Disease, which first appeared in Southeast Asia a few years ago. If this new strain spreads to Central and South America, as scientists fear it will, then the bananas that we are so accustomed to seeing line our supermarket produce aisles will likely disappear. 25 In that case, the future of the banana will rely on scientists’ finding a new variety that can resist the new strain of Panama Disease. Just as you eat a different banana today than your grandparents did when they were young, your grandchildren may eat a different banana than the Cavendish you enjoy today. In that case, let’s hope that the new one tastes good!

The author’s attitude toward the banana industry banana growers switched from the Gros Michel can best be described as to the Cavendish was the Cavendish’s (A) dismissive (A) size (B) sympathetic (B) taste (C) critical (C) shelf life (D) mocking (D) disease resistance (E) enthusiastic (E) inexpensive price

Those who have witnessed the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, say the display looks like a breathtaking laser show in an otherwise dark night sky. The Inuit people of 5 Alaska and Northern Canada have a variety of myths to explain the origin of these billowing waves of pink, purple, and green lights, but the true cause of this phenomenon is simpler than you might think: it’s the sun. Although it looks to the naked eye like a constant, yellow disk, the sun is actually an extremely turbulent place, with massive magnetic storms (which appear as “sunspots”) 10 streaking across the superheated surface. Occasionally, one of these storms rips a hole in the sun’s corona, causing a solar explosion, in which a blast of protons and electrons is violently flung out into space. When these charged particles hit the Earth’s atmosphere, between 35 and 600 miles above the surface of the Earth, they excite molecules of oxygen and nitrogen. The excited molecules vibrate for a moment, but, just like a game of hot 15 potato, they soon release that energy in the form of colored light. Scientists call this process of molecules gaining and releasing energy a “quantum leap.” The Northern Lights are most vivid over parts of Norway, Alaska, and Siberia; however, scientists say that even humans who are lucky enough to live in these areas don’t experience the full spectacle of this nocturnal light show. When oxygen molecules go 20 through a quantum leap, they give off green and reddish-brown light. Light of both colors is very bright, but the red color is in a part of the spectrum that the human eye can barely see. Photographic film isn’t as limited as the human eye, and so the red aurora that humans can’t see well can be captured on film.

The passage suggests that when caught on film, the Northern Lights (A) repeated (B) unchanging (A) appear even more beautiful (C) colorful (B) lose their green tint (D) reliable (C) are partially invisible (E) relentless (D) occur higher in the atmosphere (E) are imperceptible 2.

If you run out of the cereal and berries you usually enjoy for breakfast, the solution is simple: you go to the supermarket to buy some more. But what happens if an unforeseen 5 natural disaster wipes out the entire supply of berry plants or the wheat and grain crops that are used to make that cereal? In nature, that kind of extinction is usually the end of the line for a plant; however, an enterprising team of scientists in northern Norway is changing that. On June 19, 2006, the prime ministers of Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and 10 Iceland participated in a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the start of construction of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault near the Norwegian town of Longyearbyan. The vault is located on a remote archipelago so close to the North Pole that much of the deepest soil remains frozen throughout the year. To those of us who live in more temperate climates, choosing to build anything in such an inhospitable location may seem like a mistake, but 15 scientists are banking on the cold to reduce the refrigeration costs of freezing millions of seed samples. Scientists built the seed vault deep inside a sandstone mountain where the natural temperature is a constant 30 degrees Fahrenheit. Coal-powered refrigeration will bring the temperature in the vault to between zero and 20 degrees Fahrenheit. At these chilly temperatures, seeds in packages sealed to prevent dampness can be safely stored for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Even if there is some sort of devastating natural disaster, the seed vault helps to ensure that we have grains and berries for generations.

The fixed stars are the only firm landmarks in astronomy, with respect to both time and space. They seem to have been thrown about in irregular and ill-defined groups 5 and clusters, which are called constellations. The individuals of these groups and clusters differ greatly as to brightness, hue, and color; however, they all agree in one attribute, a high degree of permanence as to their relative positions in the group, and the groups are as permanent with respect to each other. This has procured them the title of fixed stars, an expression which must be understood in a 10 comparative, and not an absolute, sense; for, after long investigation, it is ascertained that some of them, if not all, are in motion, although too slow to be perceptible except by very delicate observations continued through a long series of years.

(E) They form artistic patterns at night.

On summer nights, it was the cow’s greatest pleasure to hide herself away among the high huckleberry bushes, and though she wore a loud bell, the beast had 5 made the discovery that if she stood perfectly still, the bell would not ring. So Sylvia had to hunt for her until she found her, and call Co’! Co’! with never an answering Moo. Sometimes, in pleasant weather, it was a consolation to look upon the cow’s pranks as an intelligent attempt to play hide and seek, and as the child had no playmates, she lent herself to this amusement with a good deal of zest. Sylvia 10 laughed when she came upon Mistress Moolly at the swamp side, and urged her affectionately homeward with a twig of birch leaves. The old cow, who was quite ready to be milked now, turned in the right direction for once as they left the pasture, and stepped along the road at a good pace. Sylvia wondered what her grandmother would say because they were so late. It 15 was a great while since she had left home at half past five o’clock, but everybody knew the difficulty of making this errand a short one. Mrs. Tilley had chased the horned torment too many summer evenings herself to blame anyone else for lingering, and was only thankful as she waited that she had Sylvia, nowadays, to give such valuable assistance, for the creature gave good milk and plenty of it.

And there stood up the three sons of noble Alcinous: Laodamas, and Halius, and god- like Clytoneus. And behold, these all first tried the issue in the foot race. From the very 5 start they strained at utmost speed: and all together they flew forward swiftly, raising the dust along the plain. And noble Clytoneus was far the swiftest of them all in running, and by the length of the furrow that mules cleave in a fallow field, so far did he shoot to the front, while those others were left behind. Then they made trial of strong wrestling, and here in turn Euryalus excelled all the best. And in leaping Amphialus was far the foremost, 10 and Elatreus in weight-throwing, and in boxing Laodamas. Now when they had all taken their pleasure in the games, Laodamas spoke among them: ‘Come, stranger, try thy skill in the sports, if thou art practiced in any, for there is no greater glory for a man while he lives than that which he achieves by hand and foot.’ And Odysseus answered him, saying: 'Laodamas, why do you mock me, requiring this 15 thing of me? Sorrow is far nearer to my heart than sports, for much have I endured in time past, and now I sit in this your gathering, craving nothing more than a return to my home.' And Euryalus answered, and rebuked him to his face, saying ‘I do not think thee at all like one who is skilled in games; you seem not like a man who is good with his hands.' 20 Then Odysseus looked fiercely on him and said: 'Stranger, thou hast not spoken well; thou art like a man presumptuous. So true it is that the gods do not give wisdom nor skilled speech to all men.’

On summer afternoons I sit Quiescent by you in the park, And idly watch the sunbeams gild Line 5 And tint the ash-trees’ bark.

Or else I watch the squirrels frisk And chaffer in the grassy lane; And all the while I mark your voice Breaking with love and pain. 10 I know a woman who would give Her chance of heaven to take my place; To see the love-light in your eyes, The love-glow on your face!

15 And there’s a man whose lightest word Can set my chilly blood afire; Fulfillment of his least behest Defines my life’s desire.
