Read the excerpt from “Racing to Race.”

It had been six months since Carlo’s surgery and he specifically remembered the doctor telling him he could start running after six months. But he thought about what Meiya had said and realized she had a good point. After his surgery, the doctor did say rehab would be crucial to his recovery but that it would take time for him to gain back full use of his leg. He thought about how a baby had to learn to walk before it could run. He remembered when his nephew was learning to crawl; within days it seemed like he was walking. Running didn’t come right away, Carlo remembered. He realized it was the same with his therapy. The maximum he had run in the past month was one mile on the treadmill, so he realized that Meiya was probably right. He would have to work at building up his endurance and set more realistic goals for himself. As he thought about what he had already accomplished, he started to smile and felt like a weight was being lifted off his shoulders. He realized that he had run almost a mile and a half before his body started to protest and if he kept working hard, he could get back to where he was before his accident.

What analogy does the author make in the passage?


Carlo compares his rehabilitation with his run that day.

Carlo compares his rehabilitation with a baby learning to walk.

Carlo compares his abilities with Meiya’s abilities.

Carlo compares Meiya’s advice with his doctor’s orders.

Answer:

B, or the second one.

Explanation:

It is the only one that makes sense based on what an analogy is.

Read the excerpt from “Tools of the Spymaster."

The numbers that Major Tallmadge assigned to members of the Culper Ring were from a secret writing system he invented. He substituted digits for words that would be used in messages. "Long Island," for example, was 728, "arms" was 7, and "city" was 88. There was a number for each month, such as 341 for "January." He made four copies of his codes. He kept one and gave the others to Woodhull, Townsend, and General Washington. For words that did not have a number code, Tallmadge gave his agents a cipher. In a cipher, each letter in a message is replaced by another letter or a number.

The author’s purpose in this excerpt is to

teach readers about a code system used during the American Revolution.
persuade readers that ciphers are the greatest American invention.
argue that Major Tallmadge made a mistake in sharing copies of his codes.
compare the American codes for secret letters to the British codes.

The teacher returns Elijah's essay for editing because he uses the words nice and good too many times. Which reference source can help him achieve more variety in his writing?

In the movie Toy Story, a group of toys come to life. In a TV commercial, a car races down the highway. The car is going so fast that it flies into the air. Suddenly, the car has stripes and claws. It has turned into a tiger! How do all these things happen? The answer is in the fascinating world of computer animation.
Animation has been around for a long time. You may remember Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny. These cartoon characters were created in a procedure called cel animation.
Cel-animation cartoons are drawn on clear sheets of plastic. To make them move, the artist draws a series of pictures. The artist makes each picture slightly different from the one before. Then, the artist shows the pictures at an accelerated pace. This process makes the cartoons seem to move. To make longer films, like Bambi or Snow White, artists need to draw thousands of cels. It is very tedious work.
A newer technique uses computers to make cartoons seem alive. It is different from cel animation in many ways. One of the most significant changes is very simple. If you look closely, you’ll notice that cel animation cartoons look flat. You can see them move but they don’t look real. The images are two-dimensional---they have height and width, but they have no depth.
Computers enable animators to create lifelike, three-dimensional, or 3-D, images. First , the animator or artist records the shape of an object, animal, or person from all sides. Once recorded in the computer, the 3-D image can be rotated, moved, and twisted. The artist can add and change details. The image is transformed into a cartoon character with its own personality and flair. Cartoon artists have discovered a sensational new tool. Cartooning will never be the same.

(It is the first day of school. Mr. Harris, the teacher, is sitting on a stool in front of the class and asking students about their vacation.)

MR. HARRIS: So what all did you do? Scott, how did you spend your vacation?

(Scott smiles and sits up straight when his teacher calls on him.)

SCOTT: I had a lovely trip, Mr. Harris. My family and I went to Italy. We saw the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, and Vatican City. The place has such rich history and culture. And the food there was fantastic. The pizza and pasta there are so much better than what you get here.

MR. HARRIS: I’m glad you enjoyed it, Scott. Now, Jason, what about you? How did you spend the summer break?

(A shy and frail looking boy glances around nervously before turning his attention to the teacher. His clothes look old and worn. The students look at him with a bored expression.)

JASON: I went to live with my grandparents on their farm. (He looks around the class once again and notices Scott snickering.)

MR. HARRIS: Really? How was life on the farm?

JASON: Umm . . . it was great. Every day I would wake up early and help my grandpa feed the farm animals. Then later we would work on the fields. Sometimes he even took me fishing. And then my grandma would cook us delicious meals from things we grew on the farm.

MR. HARRIS: That sounds wonderful, Jason. It seems you had just as much fun as Scott.

(Jason gives a big smile and nods. Scott gives Jason an odd look and speaks before Mr. Harris can respond further.)

SCOTT: Mr. Harris, how can looking after animals on a farm be as good as a trip to Italy? I’ve read farm life is really boring. Clearly, learning about new cultures is way more fun than working on a farm.

(Jason looks away, clearly upset by Scott’s words. Mr. Harris sighs and looks at Scott.)

MR. HARRIS: But Scott, how do you know that life on a farm is boring? You said yourself that you’ve never been to one.

(The class continues with Mr. Harris asking some other students with about their summer break. Jason smiles with a newfound respect for Mr. Harris.)

Jason is fun-loving and likes to visit new places and meet new people. Scott prefers to be with his family and learn more about the art and history of the world.

Jason is a shy boy who is satisfied with spending his summer with his grandparents. Scott is an enthusiastic boy who likes to explore new places.

Jason dislikes the idea of going far and prefers to spend time with his family. Scott is more adventurous and likes to travel around the world and explore new places.

Jason is timid and is afraid to talk in class. Scott is very confident and seems to like to talk about himself.

Jason does not believe in going out and enjoying his summer vacation. Scott thinks spending time with family during the summer is a bad idea.

Read the excerpt from the play Apple Picking:

Characters:
- Mischa
- Luke
- Mom
- Dad



Scene One


On an overcast autumn afternoon in the middle of a field with many apple trees. A brother and a sister have a ladder up against an apple tree. One is picking apples and placing them in a sack tied around her waist. The other is holding the ladder steady.


Mischa: (standing on the ladder and looking at an apple) I'm not so sure about these. They have a ton of spots and are not quite ripe.

Luke: That's alright, we're just making a pie for Sunday dinner anyway. No one will see the spots, and we can add sugar to sweeten them up.

Mischa: (Nodding in approval) Yeah, I guess you're right. Mom always likes her pie apples to be a little firm anyways.


Suddenly, the wind begins to blow strongly making the ladder tip back and forth slightly.


Mischa: (With an alarmed look on her face.) What's going on? There isn't supposed to be a storm today! We'll never make it back to our house before it hits!

Luke: (Holding onto the ladder as hard as he can) You need to come down! I can't hold the ladder much longer!

Mischa carefully but swiftly climbs down the ladder while the wind is still blowing. Luke holds on to the ladder as it sways back and forth. Mischa makes it to the bottom. They both look toward dark clouds rolling in quickly with thunder and lightning.


Luke: (Yelling over the storm) We'd better find some shelter! (Pointing toward a rundown old farmhouse.) I think there's an old farm house that way!

Mischa: (Also yelling) You lead the way. I'm too scared!

Luke: (Grabbing her by the hand) It's going to be okay! Run with me!

Both children run to the old farmhouse holding each other's hand. When they make it there, they enter through an open window.



Scene Two


In the kitchen of the old farmhouse. There is an old dusty table and chairs, but everything else including the stove is gone. The windows are broken, the curtains tattered, and the wallpaper peeling. The wind is picking up and blowing through. The children are calming down. Mischa looks out the broken window where a large dead tree sits close to the house, while Luke sits at the old table. The sack of apples sits on the table.


Mischa: It's almost here Luke. The branches on the trees are swaying all over the place.

Luke: (Looking at the old tree through the window) Come away from the window Mischa. It's a really bad storm, that's for sure.

Mischa: (sitting down in the chair opposite Luke.) I think it's a tornado.

Luke: It's not a tornado, but those are some heavy winds.


The wind picks up and the curtains sway violently. Something smacks up against the side of the house.


Luke: What was that? It's picking up.

Mischa: Where are Mom and Dad? Why aren't they here to help us?

Luke: Never mind that. We need to worry about ourselves right now. I think we should go down to the ...


Suddenly, a tree branch hits the window smashing it even more than it was. Luke and Mischa scream.


Mischa: (Yelling) To the basement!


The children run toward the basement when Mischa stops and turns back.


Luke: (Still yelling) What are you doing? Come back!

Mischa: (Still yelling) The apples! I need to grab the apples!

Luke: Mischa no!

Mischa runs to grab the apples. She gets a hold of the sack and turns around toward the basement again. As she gets to the basement door, the old large tree snaps, cracks, and falls through the kitchen wall. She is okay, but shaken.

In one part of Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stow, Mrs. Shelby has just discovered that her husband has agreed to sell two of their slaves, including the adult Tom and a young boy. Mrs. Shelby pleads with him to reconsider. The following excerpt is Mr. Shelby's explanation of their predicament.

I'm sorry you feel so about it,—indeed I am, said Mr. Shelby; and I respect your feelings, too, though I don't pretend to share them to their full extent; but I tell you now, solemnly, it's of no use—I can't help myself. I didn't mean to tell you this Emily; but, in plain words, there is no choice between selling these two and selling everything. Either they must go, or all must. Haley has come into possession of a mortgage, which, if I don't clear off with him directly, will take everything before it. I've raked, and scraped, and borrowed, and all but begged,—and the price of these two was needed to make up the balance, and I had to give them up. Haley fancied the child; he agreed to settle the matter that way, and no other. I was in his power and had to do it. If you feel so to have them sold, would it be any better to have all sold?

You might remember that the author of this passage was bitterly opposed to slavery. What response was she hoping her readers would have to Mr. Shelby's logic?


A. They would agree that selling the slaves was necessary but extremely unfortunate.

B. They would believe that Mr. Shelby could easily find a way to make everyone happy.

C. They would agree with Mr. Shelby that he had no other choice than to sell the slaves.

D. They would find Mr. Shelby's decision cruel in spite of the reason he gives for the decision.

Read the excerpt from “Tools of the Spymaster."

James Jay's invisible ink did not become visible by heating. As he described it, his ink "would elude the generally known means of detection, and yet could be rendered visible by a suitable counterpart." Jay's invisible ink consisted of two chemicals. An agent used one chemical to write an invisible message. To read the message, the reader had to brush a second chemical on the paper; that chemical made the message visible. The two-bottle system, supplied by Jay, gave Washington the secure form of writing that he wanted.

Which statement best expresses the central idea of the excerpt?

James Jay was a spy for the Americans and had knowledge of chemistry.
James Jay’s invisible ink system allowed Washington to write secret messages.
James Jay believed secret messages that became visible because of heat were not secure.
James Jay’s system required two chemicals for writing and reading invisible ink messages.
