Think carefully about the issue presented in the following quotation and the assignment below. The principal goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done; men and women who are creative, inventive, and discoverers, who can be critical and verify, and not accept, everything they are offered. Jean Piaget, quoted in Education for Democracy: Proceedings from the Cambridge School Conference on Progressive Education Assignment: In school, is it more important to focus on learning facts, or should the primary goal of education be to ensure that students develop open minds? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on these issues. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

Each passage below is followed by questions based on its content. Answer the questions on the basis of what is stated or implied in each passage and in any introductory material that may be provided.

Questions 910 are based on the following passage. When I went hiking with a friend recently, he began to decry the actions of deer hunters as destructive and cruel. While Im certainly no hunter myself, I challenged some of his more simplistic assumptions. First of all, I said, death by old age is fairly rare in a truly natural setting; often, an animal spared the hunters rifle will suffer a similar or worse fate in the jaws of a predator. Secondly, hunting is one of the few cures for the problem of deer overpopulation, a serious concern that can ultimately devastate entire ecosystems. The authors claim to be no hunter himself (line 3) implies that he (A) avoids hunting because he considers it cruel and immoral (B) can acknowledge the value of an activity without engaging in the activity himself (C) feels that environmental considerations should be weighed heavily in such decisions (D) can acknowledge that he has little skill at an activity that he enjoys (E) is highly concerned that his friend not misinterpret his remarks to be a recommendation 10 According to the passage, a fate in the jaws of a predator (lines 78) is (A) (B) (C) (D) (E) something that rarely happens in the modern age grisly but not unusual in nature not necessary for the survival of most ecosystems far superior to the evils of hunting a simplistic way of thinking about nature

Questions 1112 are based on the following passage. Movies, television shows, and even comic strips portray the scientist as an adherent to the rulesa square, soft-spoken, upstanding member of society. The inadequacy of this stereotype is revealed by the life and work of Nikolai Tesla, the scientist, inventor, and thinker. Far from mild-mannered and unobtrusive, he once nearly toppled New Yorks landmark Brooklyn Bridge in testing his theory of sympathetic vibration. By placing a small oscillator on a supporting pillar and tuning the device to a special frequency, Tesla demonstrated the possibility of exponentially increasing vibration energy, sending giant, wave-like ripples through the bridge. While he did not see fit to topple the structure, he did completely destroy the fallacy of the scientist as a conformist.

Section 4
Questions 1324 are based on the following passage. This passage, about the decline of the Norse colonies that once existed in Greenland, is from a comprehensive research report examining this anthropological mystery. In 1721, the Norwegian missionary Hans Egede discovered that the two known Norse settlements on Greenland were completely deserted. Ever since, the reasons behind the decline and eventual disappearance of these people have been greatly debated. Greenland, established by the charismatic outlaw Eric the Red in about 986 C.E., was a colony of Norway by 1000, complete with a church hierarchy and trading community. After several relatively prosperous centuries, the colony had fallen on hard times and was not heard from in Europe, but it wasnt until Egedes discovery that the complete downfall of the settlement was confirmed. Throughout the nineteenth century, researchers attributed the demise of the Norse colonies to war between the colonies and Inuit groups. This is based largely on evidence from the work Description of Greenland, written by Norse settler Ivar Bardarson around 1364, which describes strained relationships between the Norse settlers and the Inuits who had recently come to Greenland. However, because there is no archeological evidence of a war or a massacre, and the extensive body of Inuit oral history tells of no such event, modern scholars give little credence to these theories. New theories about the reason for the decline of the Norse colonies are being proposed partially because the amount of information available is rapidly increasing. Advances in paleoclimatology, for example, have increased the breadth and clarity of our picture of the region. Most notably, recent analyses of the central Greenland ice core, coupled with data obtained from plant material and sea sediments, have indicated severe climate changes in the region that some are now calling a mini ice age. Such studies point towards a particularly warm period for Greenland that occurred between the years 800 and 1300, which was then followedunfortunately for those inhabiting even the most temperate portions of the islandby a steady decline in overall temperatures that lasted for nearly 600 years. The rise and fall of the Norse colonies in Greenland, not surprisingly, roughly mirrors this climate-based chronology. Researchers have also found useful data in a most surprising

placefly remains. The insect, not native to the island, was brought over inadvertently on Norse ships. Flies survived in the warm and less than sanitary conditions of the Norse dwellings and barns, and died out when these were no longer inhabited. By carbon dating the fly remains, researchers have tracked the occupation of the settlements and confirmed that the human population began to decline around 1350. Changing economic conditions likely also conspired against the settlers. The colonies had founded a moderately successful trading economy based on exporting whale ivory, especially important given their need for the imported wood and iron that were in short supply on the island. Unfortunately, inexpensive and plentiful Asian and African elephant ivory flooded the European market during the fourteenth century, destroying Greenlands standing in the European economy. At the same time, the trading fleet of the German Hanseatic League supplanted the previously dominant Norwegian shipping fleets. Since the German merchants had little interest in the Norse colonists, Greenland soon found itself visited by fewer and fewer ships each year until they were completely isolated by 1480. Cultural and sociologic factors may have also contributed to the demise of the Norse settlements. The Inuit tribes, while recent immigrants to Greenland, had come from nearby areas to the west and had timetested strategies to cope with the severe environment. The Norse settlers, however, seem to have viewed themselves as fundamentally European and did not adopt Inuit techniques. Inuit apparel, for example, was far more appropriate for the cold, damp environment; the remains from even the last surviving Norse settlements indicate a costume that was undeniably European in design. Likewise, the Norse settlers failed to adopt Inuit hunting techniques and tools, such as the toggle harpoon, which made it possible to capture calorie-rich seal meat. Instead, the Norse relied on the farming styles that had been so successful for their European ancestors, albeit in a radically different climate. It seems likely that this stubborn cultural inflexibility prevented the Norse civilization in Greenland from adapting to increasingly severe environmental and economic conditions.

The passages below are followed by questions based on their content; questions following a pair of related passages may also be based on the relationship between the paired passages. Answer the questions on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passages and in any introductory material that may be provided. Questions 69 are based on the following passages. Passage 1 Often, the winner of an election is the candidate who best masters the art of the political advertisement. Most voters have a stake in the issues of the day but cannot make sense of the rules and rhetoric of the real processes of government. The thirty-second commercial on prime-time television therefore plays a crucial part in the political process, making sense out of technical political jargon. Those who wish to speak for an electorate must make their case to that electorate, and the political advertisement is the most direct and effective way to achieve that goal. Passage 2 We can find no greater evidence of indifference to democracys inner workings than the political commercial. Sandwiched between advertisements for microwave meals and new cars, the political ad suggests that government, too, is a product that, once purchased, will offer us the same convenience and value as any other good or service. The less we have to worry about and examine the crucial issues of the day, the thinking goes, the better our interests have been served. Yet the electorates disciplinedand often inconvenientexamination of government is the act from which representative government derives its greatest strength. The messages that bombard us with competing political factions blunt our power before a single ballot has been cast. Which of the following best summarizes the central point of Passage 1? (A) The political commercial confuses voters with heavy reliance on political jargon. (B) The political commercial is one of many methods used to influence voters. (C) The political commercial performs a function that is vital to democracy. (D) The political commercial ensures the participation of every voter in the real processes of government. (E) The political commercial is always the most crucial factor in determining the outcome of an election. 7 The author of Passage 2 mentions microwave meals and new cars because they (A) offer valid comparisons to the services provided by government (B) illustrate the electorates unwillingness to examine government in a disciplined fashion (C) serve as examples of consumer products that use advertising to influence buyers (D) represent ways in which political commercials empower voters (E) signify the efforts of advertising to distract voters from political issues 8 The author of Passage 2 suggests that voters should see the rules and rhetoric of the real processes of government, mentioned in Passage 1, as (A) confusing technicalities that are best left to the experts (B) worthy subject matter for more effective political ads (C) examples of a preoccupation with superficialities (D) inferior to real participation in government by the public (E) essential realities which should be examined and understood 9 The authors of both passages agree on the significance of (A) the political commercial as the most effective way to motivate voters (B) the failure of advertising to influence the political climate (C) the political commercial as a major factor in shaping the behavior of voters (D) the disciplined scrutiny of government by voters (E) the expression of voters needs as the cornerstone of the political advertisement

Section 7
Questions 1015 are based on the following passage. Paleontology is the study of life from prehistoric or geological times through the use of fossils. The following is adapted from a magazine article written by a paleontologist for a general interest magazine. Of the thousands of different kinds of rocks on Earths surface, the sedimentary, or water-made, rocks hold the most information for paleontologists and other fossil collectors, since water plays such an important role in the making of fossils. Because watermade rocks are common and fossils are easy to find and extract in many locations, many people overlook these fascinating objects. This is quite a shame since fossils can act as windows into the past for the informed observer. Sandstone, limestone, and shale are three of the most common water-made rocks, and they all can play a role in fossil creation. Shale is composed of mud often distinct layers that have dried togetherand usually is formed by erosion from landmasses. By contrast, sandstone and limestone often come from the ocean bottom. Sandstone is made up of grains of sand that, with the help of water, have adhered to one another over time, often trapping and fossilizing simple sea creatures and plants in the process. Limestone is a more complex category. Sometimes, the lime that occurs naturally in water settles to the bottom of a body of water and hardens into rock. Of more interest to fossil hunters is the limestone that forms when the shells of water animals, like crab or shrimp, pile up on the bottom of a body of water and eventually become a layer of stone. Limestone formed through such accretion is actually a composite of myriad fossilized shells. Unlike the slow but inevitable creation of fossilized limestone on the ocean floor, the creation of fossils in shale requires a rather incredible sequence of circumstances. Consider the fossilized footprint of a dinosaur. It starts when a dinosaur steps in semi-soft mud. In mud that is too soft, the footprint will simply disappear as the mud levels out, while mud that is too dry will not take a print at all. Under the right circumstances, however, the print will be captured in the drying dirt when the sun comes out. In the meantime, the print can easily be ruined or obscured by the tracks of other animals or even the delicate touch of a fallen leaf or branch. If the print somehow survives these dangers, a reasonably dry environment will eventually harden the mud to form rock. Incredibly,

many such fragile offerings have been produced through this process and found by paleontologists. Fossils in any form of sedimentary rock act as a vital source of information about animals, insects, and plants from long ago. Many parts of Earths surface are dominated by metamorphic or volcanic rocks rather than sedimentary rocks, and so have a dearth of fossils. Such places, blank slates to the paleontologist, serve to remind us of the gift of the water-made rock and our good fortune in having so much of it on our planet.

10 The phrase windows into the past (line 9) serves to (A) emphasize that fossils are the primary means available to understand life forms that are now extinct (B) convey that fossils provide evidence about life on Earth from periods long past (C) illustrate the elaborate process involved in the formation of many types of fossils (D) underscore the necessity of training and knowledge in interpreting the fossil record (E) introduce an evocative image that the author will use throughout the passage 11 The author notes that limestone is a more complex category (line 21) because (A) it is formed both in landmasses and on the ocean floor (B) fossils formed in limestone require a very particular process (C) many of its forms are of little interest to paleontologists (D) it can be formed through a variety of processes (E) it is composed of a very large number of minuscule sea creatures 12 The third paragraph (lines 3046) contributes to the passage in which of the following ways? (A) It explains the way that most sedimentary fossils are created. (B) It describes the role of dinosaurs in the fossilmaking process. (C) It emphasizes the elaborate sequence of events that must occur to create a fossilized footprint. (D) It supports the authors hypothesis that shale is the most useful water-made rock. (E) It emphasizes the important role that water plays in the making of fossils.

Questions 1624 are based on the following passage. The following is adapted from a short story about a young mans education at a prestigious American university. From the first day of orientation, I was convinced that I was different. Fundamentally, irreconcilably different. I was a nobody; they were Ivy League. I had gone to countless schools in Germany and Turkey; they were surely from Northeastern prep schools. My dad was a career army man; their dads were lawyers and businessmen. My mom was Lebanese and a translator; their moms were doctors or homemakers. Even my luggage looked different a hand-me-down canvas duffle stacked near the matching leather sets and steamer trunks. Of course my duffle didnt hold my most cherished possession, this sense of secret otherness. Burnished to a high sheen like a lucky buckeye in my pocket, I kept it always at hand. It was a talisman and a protective bubble. It gave me an excuse to give free reign to my terrible shyness. It encouraged me to rely on the army brats near-adult independence that comes from going to a new school every eighteen months. It let me explain to myself the necessity of re-reading summer assignments in my room, rather than risking the battlefield of adolescent interaction on the central campus lawn. Despite the centrality of this otherness to my self conception, I felt the need to hide it from others. I lived in fear that I would be found out any minute, my difference exposed and ridiculed. It seems ridiculous now to think that my classmates would concern themselves with the short, shy stranger, furtively rushing from the cafeteria to the library. Like me, they were experiencing that ultimate period of self-absorption: the beginning of freshman year. Then, however, I thought it was only my cunning secrecy that kept me from being thrown out on my ear. My great thaw began, as so often happens, with love. She was, I was sure, perfectly emblematic of everything that I was not. She was gorgeous, graceful, and quite apparently not Lebanese. She was a central fixture in a constellation of such creatures, giggling before class, but effortlessly bright and at ease once class began. Even her name was gloriously of that place, Amanda. We happened to sit near each

Professor Gordon assigned study pairs for reports to be presented at the end of the semester, and, in what I thought was intended as a perverse punishment of Amanda, put us together to explore the works of Moses Maimonides. When the decision came down, I braced for an exhalation of protest at this injustice from Amanda, but none came. Perhaps my secret was safe, and she didnt yet know that I was Not Normal. When we met in the library, she still seemed content to hide her revulsion. She even seemed downright friendly. Can you believe Professor Gordon? Does he think that waxing his moustache will make him seem less impossibly boring? He looks like one of my moms weird Czech uncles. Czech uncles? I thought that Amanda could trace her lineage back to the Mayflower. Imagine my surprise to find that she had learned fluent Czech from her immigrant mother and was hoping to become a translator. That was not the only surprise in store. Amandas parents were divorced. She had lived in Alabama until she was ten. She had never ridden a horse, stayed in a hotel, or been to Paris. Most surprisingly of all, her revulsion for me was not well-hidden, but entirely absent. She thought I was just fine. Fine enough, in fact, to bring as a date to a dinner with friends the next Friday. These friends seemed just as determined to belie all the assumptions I had made about their lives. None of them were normal. In fact, the very idea of normal seemed to be crumbling before my eyes. I felt curiously exposed, bereft of my otherness as protector or as burden.

The two passages below are followed by questions based on their content and on the relationship between the two passages. Answer the questions on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passages and in any introductory material that may be provided.

Questions 719 are based on the following passages. The work of the translator of literature is always difficult. The work being translated often contains words, phrases, or ideas that have no direct equivalent in the new language. These two passages deal with the difficulties of translating the works of Polish playwright Tadeusz Micinski. Passage 1 is from a magazine article about Micinski, while Passage 2 is from a book about the art of translation. Passage 1 The world of theater practitioners is small, and influences are often felt across national borders, across oceans, and across time, and the American theater scene is an ideal place for observing these influences. Created by and for immigrants from all over the world, American theater offers something for everyone, or, more appropriately, something from everywhere. The traditions of Polish theater offer a particularly rich source of inspiration for the American stage, though the language barrier has often been difficult to overcome. One name in particular has been lost, not just to America, but to most of the West. Tadeusz Micinski (18731918) was once Polands bravest playwright. He aggressively pursued innovation and defied authority at every turn. Despite his importance to the history of Polish theater, he remains a relative unknown in the Westalthough most of his works are now over one hundred years old, only a few brave translators have tried their hand at Micinskis work. The reasons lie in the complexities of language and culture. His plays are deeply invested in the Polish language and its subtleties. His references to Polish history are extensive, and his symbolism is forbidding even for his fellow countrymen. Sadly, these difficulties have thus far prevented most of the world from appreciating Micinskis talent. This situation is unacceptable, but certainly rectifiable. Translators must take as their model Micinskis boldness in both life and work. This is likely not the norm for translators, whose labors are as a rule precise and delicate. However, this case demands an intrepid soul focused on the essence of Micinskis work rather than on superficialities of language. While many have been intimidated by the intricacies of Micinskis Polish, its vital to appreciate that the essential meanings in his work can be conveyed in any language, regardless of surface differences. His references to Polish history are also not an insurmountable obstacle, as near equivalents to most of these events can surely

(45)

be found in Americas past. Micinskis contribution to American theater could easily equal his contribution in Poland if translators would simply take up the challenge. He has too much to offer for us simply to give up at the first sign of trouble. His work requires more than mere translation; it requires a brave transformation. Passage 2 While translating any work is a much more complex process than simply exchanging one word for another, the effective translation of plays is particularly challenging. The script for a play is not a work to be appreciated on its own, but rather a map used to create such a work. Since the audience for a play will rarely view the script itself, all of the plot points, emotions, subtletiesall of the meaningmust be transmitted simply through spoken dialogue. Granted, when translating between languages that are closely related, a near word-for-word process can sometimes be sufficient. But when the distance between two languages is great, a profound understanding and appreciation of both languages is necessary. (Interestingly, this understanding is necessary not only to translate effectively, but even to determine which works are truly suitable for translation.) The work of Polish playwright Tadeusz Micinski serves as an excellent example of theater that is not truly suitable for performance in English. His plays employ every nuance of the Polish language. Sounds, multiple meanings, historical implications of word combinationsall of these add meaning and depth to his plays. Although one might translate the what that characters are saying, one cannot capture the how, and this is where much of the value of Micinskis work lies. The cultural context is also problematic in a translation of Micinskis work. Consider, for example, a specific reference to Polish history. There is no accurate way to translate this within the limits of a stage play. In the case of novels or essays, one might simply include a footnote and explain the relevant

(A) Translators should be politically active, like Micinski. (B) Translators are, on the whole, too cautious. (C) Micinski was daring in his playwriting. (D) Translators should make Micinskis plays available. (E) Micinski broke rules, and translators should do the same. 11 Which of the following pairs best reflects the opinions of the two authors towards the near equivalents (line 39) and the parallel political event (lines 8586)?

historical event. In the case of a play, however, there are three common solutions. One can leave the reference as it is and accept the fact that very few audience members will understand it; one can include a note about the event in the program; or one can translate the idea to an ostensibly parallel political event in the history of the audiences country. Each of these options leaves much to be desired. The first confuses, the second burdens, and the third misleads. Of course the ideal would be for theatergoers the world over to be able to enjoy Micinskis work. However, the inevitable pitfalls of translation do such a disservice to both Micinski and the audience that one must truly question the value of such a project. Given the importance of his work, it is certain that people outside of Poland will continue their endeavors to perform his plays. It must be up to the discriminating audience member to realize that the work has been much changed since it left Micinskis hands. With which of the following statements would the author of Passage 1 most strongly agree? (A) It is a simple matter to translate the works of Tadeusz Micinski. (B) Americans are especially well suited to appreciate the plays of Tadeusz Micinski. (C) Polish theater has a longer and more illustrious tradition than American theater. (D) American theater would benefit from the translation of Micinskis plays. (E) Much of the world underestimates Micinskis gifts as a playwright.

12 The author of Passage 2 indicates that the effective translation of plays is particularly challenging (lines 4950) because (A) the translator must be bold and unafraid to take chances (B) it is particularly difficult to convey emotions and subtleties through dialogue (C) it is difficult to translate references to historical events (D) the translated play is not a finished work of art, but a means to create that work of art (E) the translator has little control over the actual performance of the play 13 The distinction between the what and the how described in lines 7071 is a distinction between (A) the emotions felt by the plays characters and the events that provoke these emotions (B) the works written by Micinski and the conditions under which he produced those works (C) the ideas communicated by the plays characters and the context in which this communication takes place (D) the fact of a historical event and the meaning this event has for those who live in the country in which it occurred (E) the words spoken by characters and the conditions that provoke those words

The word relative (line 17) is closest in meaning to (A) (B) (C) (D) (E) familial affiliated comparative talented supposed

The author of Passage 1 cites the age of Micinskis work in line 18 in order to imply that (A) the fact that it has not been translated during such a long period is evidence of the difficulty of such a translation (B) the work is especially valuable to American theater, which has a relatively brief history when compared to Polish theater (C) a work that has survived for such a long period must be of very high quality (D) it is unlikely that such an old work will still be culturally relevant to modern theater goers (E) the considerable age of the work helps to explain why it is so rarely performed in America - 46 -

18 With which of the following statements would both authors agree? (A) The challenge of translating Micinskis plays calls for a particularly skilled translator. (B) The translation of plays presents difficulties unlike the translation of other forms of literature. (C) American theater is particularly receptive to the influence of other countries. (D) The translation of Micinskis plays presents cultural as well as linguistic challenges. (E) Micinskis plays contain historical references that cannot be aptly translated to other languages. 19 The author of Passage 2 would most likely characterize the recommendations in Passage 1 as (A) likely impractical in light of the artistic climate in modern American theater (B) perhaps arising from someone who is not truly familiar with the Polish language (C) typical of the ill-informed opinions held by the theatergoing public (D) admirably ambitious given the considerable challenges involved (E) unlikely to succeed unless attempted by a very bold translator

14 In response to the assertion by the author of Passage 2 about much of the value of Micinskis work (line 72) the author of Passage 1 would most likely (A) criticize the assertion as overly concerned with superficial aspects (B) argue that parallel elements could likely be found in the English language (C) agree that the intricacies of the Polish language are particularly complex (D) counter that the specifics of language are less important than cultural and historical details (E) assert that the value of Micinskis work has, on the whole, been overestimated by many scholars 15 The author of Passage 2 mentions novels and essays in line 78 in order to (A) suggest a possible solution to a problem (B) emphasize the importance of a supplementary art form (C) illustrate the unique nature of a difficulty (D) argue against the wisdom of an endeavor (E) praise the ingenuity of a group of artists 16 The word burdens in line 88 implies which of the following? (A) It is not reasonable to simply leave a historical reference unexplained. (B) Audiences are unwilling to read a program in order to learn about the play they are watching. (C) It is difficult to translate a historical event by reference to an event from another country. (D) Requiring the audience to read a program places inappropriate demands on theatergoers. (E) Few audience members are likely to actually consult the program before a performance begins. 17 Which of the following, if true, would most seriously damage the conclusions of Passage 2? (A) In general, translators do not provide program notes for theater. (B) Many translators are willing to translate Micinski regardless of the difficulties. (C) Two leading Micinski scholars approved of a recent production of a Micinski play in English. (D) Micinski himself did not know any languages other than Polish. (E) The people of Poland no longer go to see Micinskis plays.
