Questions 91-100 refer to the following passage:
01 Eleanor Roosevelt was world-renowned, respected, and admired, and she made numerous meaningful and
02 lasting contributions to human welfare. She earned the affection of millions throughout the world because of
03 her humanitarian efforts on behalf of children, the oppressed, and the poor. As President Truman described
04 her, she was the “First Lady of the World.”
05 Although faced by serious setbacks, she dedicated her entire life to others. When her husband Franklin
06 Roosevelt's political career appeared doomed by the debilitating effects of polio, she provided him with the
07 encouragement that made him persevere until he eventually won the presidency of the United States.
08 Mrs. Roosevelt showed an abiding concern for others both in her private and public life. At a time when it
09 was still unpopular to take such advocacies, she taught at a school she had established for poor children,
10 managed a factory for the jobless, and ardently campaigned for equal rights.
11 When she became First Lady, Mrs. Roosevelt represented with great energy and outspokenness the needs
12 of people suffering from the Great Depression. Indeed, a good number of her ideas were incorporated into
13 her husband's New Deal social welfare program.
14 With the outbreak of World War II, she spread out her engagements to the world stage, joining the
15 United Nations to help establish UNICEF and come up with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. She
16 was later appointed chairperson of the Human Rights Commission and, at the age 61, was named a delegate
17 to the first meeting of the General Assembly of the United Nations.

Answer:
Questions 101-109 refer to the following passage:
01 A lunar eclipse can only take place at full moon, and only if the moon passes through a part of the
02 shadow of Earth. This shadow consists of two cone-shaped components, one embedded inside the other. The
03 outer shadow or penumbra is a zone where Earth prevents part, but not all, of the sun's rays from reaching
04 the moon. On the other hand, the inner shadow or umbra is a region where Earth prevents all direct sunlight
05 from reaching the moon.
06 Three basic types of lunar eclipses are recognized by astronomers: the penumbral lunar eclipse, the partial
07 lunar eclipse, and the total lunar eclipse. In a penumbral lunar eclipse, the moon passes through Earth's
08 penumbral shadow; this event is only of academic interest since they are subtle and somewhat difficult to
09 observe. In a partial lunar eclipse, only a portion of the moon passes through Earth's umbral shadow; this
10 event is easy to see, even with the unaided eye.
11 In a total lunar eclipse, however, Earth prevents the sun's light from reaching the moon, and the moon as a
12 whole passes through Earth's umbral shadow. For this reason, astronauts on the moon would be able to see
13 the Earth eclipsing the sun. They would witness a bright red ring around Earth as they watch all the sunrises
14 and sunsets happening simultaneously around Earth!
15 During the time that the moon remains completely within Earth's umbral shadow, indirect sunlight still
16 manages to reach and illuminate it. This sunlight must first pass deep through the Earth's atmosphere,
17 however, causing most of the blue colored light to be filtered out. Whatever light remains would be deep red
18 or orange in color, and would be much dimmer than pure white sunlight. A small fraction of this light reaches
19 and illuminates the moon because Earth's atmosphere also bends or refracts some of this light.
20 When there is an eclipse of the moon, everyone on the night side of Earth can see the phenomenon. An
21 estimated 35 percent of all eclipses are of the penumbral type, 30 percent are partial eclipses, and the
22 balance of 35 percent or so are total eclipses.
101. What is the best title for the passage?
A) The Movement of the Planets
B) The Earth and the Moon
C) The Events Leading to a Full Moon
D) The Nature of Lunar Eclipses
Answer:
102. The word subtle in line 8 is closest in meaning to
A) faint
B) thin
C) quiet
D) soft
Answer:
103. A lunar eclipse can only happen when
A) the sun is up
B) the moon is full
C) there's not much smog
D) there's a rainbow
Answer:
104. According to the passage, during a lunar eclipse, the moon moves through which of the following?
A) the Sun's halo
B) Earth's atmosphere
C) Earth's shadow
D) the Sun's shadow
Answer:
105. The word eclipsing in line 13 is closest in meaning to
A) encircling
B) approaching
C) lighting
D) covering
Answer:
106. Where in the passage does the author describe what astronauts will see during a complete lunar eclipse?
A) lines 21-23
B) lines 18-20
C) lines 15-17
D) lines 13-14
Answer:
107. The word simultaneously in line 14 could best be replaced by which of the following?
A) all the same
B) all in all
C) all at once
D) all the time
Answer:
108. Which of the following generalizations about lunar eclipses can best be drawn from the passage?
A) They are a stunning interplay of light and shadow.
B) They occur at regular intervals during the year.
C) They involve only Earth and the Moon.
