Timing
You will have 3 hours and 45 minutes to work on this test.
There are ten separately timed sections:
One 25-minute essay
Six other 25-minute sections
Two 20-minute sections
One 10-minute section
You may work on only one section at a time.
The supervisor will tell you when to begin and end each section.
If you nish a section before time is called, check your work on that section.
You may NOT turn to any other section.
Work as rapidly as you can without losing accuracy. Dont waste time on
questions that seem too difficult for you.
Marking Answers
Be sure to mark your answer sheet properly.
You must use a No. 2 pencil.
Carefully mark only one answer for each question.
Make sure you ll the entire circle darkly and completely.
Do not make any stray marks on your answer sheet.
If you erase, do so completely. Incomplete erasures may be scored as
intended answers.
Use only the answer spaces that correspond to the question numbers.
Using Your Test Book
You may use the test book for scratchwork, but you will not receive credit
for anything written there.
After time has been called, you may not transfer answers to your answer
sheet or ll in circles.
You may not fold or remove pages or portions of a page from this book,
or take the book or answer sheet from the testing room.
Scoring
For each correct answer, you receive one point.
For questions you omit, you receive no points.
For a wrong answer to a multiple-choice question, you lose one-fourth of
a point.
If you can eliminate one or more of the answer choices as wrong,
you increase your chances of choosing the correct answer and
earning one point.
If you cant eliminate any choice, move on. You can return to the
question later if there is time.
For a wrong answer to a student-produced response (grid-in) math
question, you dont lose any points.
Multiple-choice and student-produced response questions are machine
scored.
The essay is scored on a 1 to 6 scale by two different readers. The total
essay score is the sum of the two readers scores.
Off-topic essays, blank essays, and essays written in ink will receive a
score of zero.
If your essay does not reect your original and individual work, your test
scores may be canceled.
The passages for this test have been adapted from published material.

in boxes 8 and 9 and ll in the corresponding
circles exactly as shown.

Many people believe that closed doors make us creative. These people argue that obstacles and
restrictions are necessary, for without them we would never be forced to come up with new
solutions. But closed doors, either in the form of specific obstacles or a lack of opportunities,
often prevent people from reaching their full creative potential.

this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience,
or observations.

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 9-10 are based on the following passage.
What was most likely the original
purpose of the human appendix? Experts
can only theorize on its use. It may have
had the same purpose it has in present-
day herbivores, where it harbors colonies 5
of bacteria that help in the digestion of
cellulose. Another theory suggests that
tonsils and the appendix might
manufacture the antibody-producing white
blood cells called B lymphocytes; 10
however, B lymphocytes could also be
produced by bone marrow. The third
theory is that the appendix may attract
body infections in order to localize the
infection in one spot that is not critical to 15
body functioning.

9. The author of the passage uses quotation marks in line
13 in order to indicate that
(A) this theory is the one with which the author most
nearly agrees
(B) this theory is less scientifically valid than the
other theories in the passage
(C) a common word is being used to describe a unique
biological process
(D) a word is being used in a humorous way
(E) a direct quotation from another source is being
used

10. How does the theory described in lines 3-7 primarily
differ from the other two theories described in the
passage?
(A) It pertains only to plants.
(B) It concerns a physical process that occurs in more
than one area of the human body.
(C) It is a theory supported by more experts in the
field than are the other two theories.
(D) It is concerned with the prevention of disease.
(E) It makes reference to a process presently
occurring in other animals.

One hazard in historical study is
the necessity of dividing the whole into
segments, since not everything can be
examined simultaneously. Common ways
of dividing history are by period, country,
topic, artistic or political movement, or
theme. Each of these can be justified, but
all have their shortcomings. When
divisions are made according to country,
the interconnections among events
occurring in two or more countries may go
unnoticed or remain unexplored. Division
into time periods may interrupt or obscure
ongoing developments, or may give undue
emphasis to some event or type of activity
(especially war or politics) as crucial in
marking the end or beginning of a period
or movement.

11. Which of the following is most analogous to the

Questions 14-25 are based on the following passages.
The following passages discuss a type of
film called film noir, which, according to
most film historians, had its high point
around the time of the Second World War
(1939-1945).
Passage 1
Even though films now called film
noir by critics have been made in
Hollywood since 1939, film noir as a genre
did not exist until 1946. In that year an
exhibition of American movies was held in 5
Paris, and French film critics got their first
look at what had been going on in
Hollywood since the advent of World War
II. Among the films shown were Laura;
The Maltese Falcon; Murder, My Sweet; 10
Double Indemnity; and The Woman in the
Window. Those five films shared enough
traits that critic Nino Frank gave them a
new classification: film noir, or literally,
black film. The traits they shared were 15
both stylistic and thematic. They were
dark in both look and mood. Their
primary action took place at night on rain-
swept city streets, in narrow ash-can
alleys, in claustrophobic diners, and in 20
dingy, shadowy hotel rooms with neon
signs flashing outside the windows, rooms
in which, as hard-boiled author Nelson
Algren once put it, every bed you rent
makes you an accessory to somebody 25
elses shady past. The characters in
these films were bookies, con men, killers,
cigarette girls, crooked cops, down-and-
out boxers, and calculating, scheming,
and very deadly women. The well-lit, 30
singing and tap-dancing, happy-ending
world of the 1930s had in ten short years
become a hostile, orderless place in which
alienation, obsession, and paranoia ruled.
The universe seemed to conspire to defeat 35
and entrap the inhabitants who wandered
blindly through it. They were victims of
fate, their own worst enemies who,
looking for a score, ended by defeating
themselves. 40
The five films mentioned earlier
that were shown at the 1946 exhibition
were the ones the French critiqued. These
high-budget studio productions most
commonly come to the publics mind when 45
the word noir is mentioned because they
are cited most often in the spate of
contemporary books that have recently
been published on the subject. But the
noir cycle, although kick-started by the 50
success of those high-budget productions,
actually had its roots in the B movie, in
particular, in the B crime movie. Film noir
was made to order for the B, or low-
budget, part of the movie double bill.
1
It 55
was cheaper to produce because it
required less lighting and smaller casts
and usually entailed story lines that
required limited-scale setsan attractive
quality to film studios operating on 60
reduced wartime budgets. Film noir was
character-driven, and its story lines, which
were unusual and compact, could often be
told in the 60 to 80 minutes required of B
pictures. 65
Passage 2
It may be that noir began in a way
of photographing that was as economical
as it was moody (less light meant less
money on decoran important wartime
consideration when studios faced limits on 70
construction material).
Where did noir come from? Its an
intriguing question and one still not
adequately answered, despite the quantity
of writing that wallows in that noir mood. 75
Dont rule out the influence of German
film from the twenties, if only because
there were, by the early forties, so many
European refugees (writers, directors,
camera operators, designers, actors) 80
working in Hollywood. Dont forget the
impact of French films of the late thirties,
especially those of Marcel Carne. His Le
Jour Se Leve (1939, called Daybreak in
the United States) was such a success 85
that it was remade in Hollywood in 1947
as The Long Night. Finally, dont
underestimate the influence Citizen Kane
had on anyone whose art and craft was
cinematography. The film was a box 90
office flop, but filmmakers were absorbed
by it. A landmark in so much, Kane is a
turning point in the opening up of a noir
sensibility.
Equally, dont forget that from the 95
forties onward, Los Angeles was much
beset by psychoanalysis, and the growing
Line

-7-
intellectual interest in guilt, depression,
and nightmare. Dont eliminate the
impact, the memory, or the mere thought 100
of a wars damage.
I want to stress how deeply noir
impulses lay in the common imagination
that of the audience as well as the
filmmakers. Mildred Pierce, for instance 105
which appeared in 1945 when many
American women were running businesses
of their own just to survive while the men
were away at warsighs and seems to
say, It doesnt make any difference, why 110
bother, for there is something malign in
human nature or luck that will undermine
enterprise and hope. Of course, not
every film was so bleak. Look instead at
David Selznicks very beautiful and 115
touching Since You Went Away, which is
all about Claudette Colbert, J ennifer
J ones, and Shirley Temple
2
coping in the
absence of men. That, too, looks like a
film noir. But the mood is entirely that of 120
innocent, ardent, flawless hope, and
assurance that when the war ends
everything will revert to calm and order.

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.

The migration and the winter
gathering of monarch butterflies are
among the most spectacular of all natural
phenomena, unique in the insect world.
Lincoln Brower wrote of his feeling on a 5
warm March morning as he watched tens
of thousands of these butterflies explode
from their resting places on the trees at
an overwintering site in Mexico: Flying
against the azure sky and past the green 10
boughs of the oyamels, this myriad of
dancing embers reinforced my earlier
conclusion that this spectacle is a treasure
comparable to the finest works of art that
our world culture has produced over the 15
past 4000 years. But even as I write this
paragraph, the winter gathering places of
the monarch are being destroyed by
illegal loggingindeed, all of the oyamel
forests in Mexico are threatened by legal 20
and illegal logging. If the logging
continues at its present rate, all of the
overwintering sites in Mexico will be gone
by the first decades of the twenty-first
century. So desperate is the situation 25
that the Union for the Conservation of
Nature and Natural Resources has
recognized the monarch migration as an
endangered biological phenomenon and
has designated it the first priority in their 30
effort to conserve the butterflies of the
world.
All efforts to preserve the
overwintering sites in Mexico have failed.
In August of 1986, the Mexican 35
government issued a proclamation
designating these sites as ecological
preserves. Five of the 12 known sites
were to receive complete protection.
Logging and agricultural development 40
were to be prohibited in their core areas,
a total area of only 17 square miles, and
only limited logging was to be permitted in
buffer zones surrounding the cores, a total
of another 43 miles. The proclamation 45
was largely ignored. One of the 5
protected sites has been clear-cut, some
buffer zones have been more or less
completely destroyed, and trees are being
cut in all of the core areas. As Brower 50
told me, guards that were appointed to
protect the monarch colonies have not
prevented illegal logging but have barred
tourists, film crews, and scientists from
witnessing logging activities. It is 55
incomprehensible to me that a way cannot
be found to protect a mere 60 square
miles of land that are home to one of the
worlds most spectacular biological
phenomena. 60
If the monarchs are to survive, the
oyamel forests in which they spend the
winter must remain intact. Even minor
thinning of the core areas causes high
mortality among the butterflies, because 65
the canopy of the intact forest serves as a
protective blanket and umbrella for them.
Within a dense stand of trees, the
temperature does not drop as low as it
does elsewhere, enabling the monarchs to 70
survive freezing weather under the
blanket of trees. Thinning the trees puts
holes in the umbrella that protects the
monarchs, letting them get wet during
winter storms. A wet butterfly loses its 75
resistance to freezing and dies. Even a
dry butterfly loses precious calories as its
body heat radiates out to the cold night
sky through holes in the canopy.

6. The quotation in lines 9-16 serves primarily as a
(A) detailed explanation of the cultural significance of

In this excerpt from a British novel
published in 1938, a woman describes
staying with her employer at a fashionable
hotel in the resort city of Monte Carlo.

I wonder what my life would be to-
day, if Mrs. Van Hopper had not been a
snob.
Funny to think that the course of
my existence hung like a thread upon that 5
quality of hers. Her curiosity was a
disease, almost a mania. At first I had
been shocked, wretchedly embarrassed
when I watched people laugh behind her
back, leave a room hurriedly upon her 10
entrance, or even vanish behind a Service
door on the corridor upstairs. For many
years now she had come to the hotel Cote
dAzur, and, apart from bridge, her one
pastime, which was notorious by now in 15
Monte Carlo, was to claim visitors of
distinction as her friends had she but seen
them once at the other end of the post-
office. Somehow she would manage to
introduce herself, and before her victim 20
had scented danger she had proffered an
invitation to her suite. Her method of
attack was so downright and sudden that
there was seldom opportunity to escape.
At the Cote dAzur she staked a claim 25
upon a certain sofa in the lounge, midway
between the reception hall and the
passage to the restaurant, and she would
have her coffee there after luncheon and
dinner, and all who came and went must 30
pass her by. Sometimes she would
employ me as a bait to draw her prey,
and, hating my errand, I would be sent
across the lounge with a verbal message,
the loan of a book or paper, the address 35
of some shop or other, the sudden
discovery of a mutual friend. It seemed
as though notables must be fed to her,
and though titles
1
were preferred by her,
any face once seen in a social paper 40
served as well. Names scattered in a
gossip column, authors, artists, actors and
their kind, even the mediocre ones, as
long as she had learnt of them in print.
I can see her as though it were but 45
yesterday, on that unforgettable
afternoonnever mind how many years
agowhen she sat on her favourite sofa in
the lounge, debating her method of
attack. I could tell by her abrupt manner, 50
and the way she tapped her lorgnette
2

against her teeth, that she was questing
possibilities. I knew, too, when she had
missed the sweet and rushed through
dessert, and she had wished to finish 55
luncheon before the new arrival and so
install herself where he must pass.
Suddenly she turned to me, her small
eyes alight.
Go upstairs quickly and find that 60
letter from my nephew. You remember,
the one written on his honeymoon, with
the snapshot. Bring it down right away.
I saw then that her plans were
formed, and the nephew was to be the 65
means of introduction. Not for the first
time I resented the part that I must play
in her schemes. Like a jugglers assistant
I produced the props, then silent and
attentive I waited on my cue. This new- 70
comer would not welcome intrusion, I felt
certain of that. In the little I had learnt of
him at luncheon, a smattering of hearsay
garnered by her ten months ago from the
daily papers and stored in her memory for 75
future use, I could imagine, in spite of my
youth and inexperience of the world, that
he would resent this sudden bursting in
upon his solitude. Why he should have
chosen to come to the Cote dAzur at 80
Monte Carlo was not our concern, his
problems were his own, and anyone but
Mrs. Van Hopper would have understood.
Tact was a quality unknown to her,
discretion too, and because gossip was 85
the breath of life to her this stranger must
be served for her dissection.

New York in the wake of World War
II was a city on the verge of momentous
changeseconomic, social, and political.
For almost a century it had been a
preeminent manufacturing and port city, 5
absorbing the unskilled millions who
flocked there from Europe, and had
yielded great fortunes for the astute and
daring. The Depression of the 1930s had
exacted a terrible toll, and leaders 10
conferred anxiously on how to avoid a
repetition of those doleful days as the war
economy wound down.
Even before the war, experts had
been cautioning New York that it was 15
losing industry and business to other
locales. A 1939 study showed the Citys
percentage of wage earners down in fifty-
eight industries.
At the close of World War II, the 20
great port of New York remained the
largest general cargo port in the country
and the second largest in the world,
deferring only to Rotterdam. Week in and
week out forty thousand longshoremen 25
worked the ninety-six piers encircling
Manhattan and the eighty lining the
Brooklyn waterfront, manually loading and
unloading sixteen million tons a year.*
Hundreds of tugs and barges plied the 30
harbor and nearby rivers, guiding the big
ships to their berths and ferrying cargo.
Looking ahead, the new Port Authority of
New York cleared forty old piers in
Brooklyn and replaced them with fourteen 35
spacious, modern piers, the best in the
world.
In the mid-1950s Malcolm McLean
of Winston-Salem invented a method of
shipping that was to revolutionize cargo 40
ports and make the new piers obsolete.
His brainchild was the truck-sized sealed
containers that slashed loading and
unloading time to almost nothing. A small
crew of men could use cranes to load the 45
gargantuan containers, filling a ship
twenty times faster than the old gangs
grappling with crates, boxes, and bales.
The impregnable containers guaranteed
against waterfront theft or breakage, 50
eliminating altogether the dockside
pilferage that previously had consumed up
to 15 percent of some cargoes. Ships that
had traditionally spent a week in port
could now finish their loading in a day. 55
The new containers required huge
storing areas, far larger than were
available in either Manhattan or Brooklyn.
When the City of New York proposed
modernizing its East River piers to handle 60
the containers, the Port Authority said it
would have to clear all the land from the
river west to Third Avenue to do so. Each
berth for a ship carrying containers of
cargo needed fifty acres of surrounding 65
land, compared to an old-fashioned berth
of 195,000 square feet. The Port
Authority erected container ports at Port
Newark and Port Elizabeth, New J ersey,
with their vast stretches of empty land. 70
The old piers of Manhattan and Brooklyn
languishedrotting, deserted white
elephants. The ranks of the
longshoremen, once forty thousand
strong, dwindled to nine thousand. In the 75
new technical, mechanized world of
container shipping, man-hours fell from
40 million man-hours right after the war
to 13.5 million in 1983.

*The island of Manhattan is bounded by the Hudson
River and the state of New J ersey to the west and by
the East River and the New York City borough of
Brooklyn on the east.

answers, follow the requirements of standard written
English.

(1) The early history of astronomy was full of
misunderstandings. (2) Some of them were funny, it's like
the controversy of the "canali" on Mars. (3) In the late
1800s an Italian astronomer named Giovanni Schiaparelli
studied Mars. (4) He had a high-powered telescope that he
used to look at Mars. (5) Schiaparelli thought he saw
channels criss-crossing the planet's surface. (6) He was
intrigued: perhaps these channels were evidence that Mars
had great flowing rivers like the Earth. (7) Schiaparelli
made charts of the surface of Mars and labeled it with the
Italian word "canali."
(8) Unfortunately, "canali" can be translated into
English as either "channels" or "canals." (9) Channels and
canals are two different things because channels are formed
naturally by water, while canals are constructed by people.
(10) Some people translated "canali" as "canals," word
began to spread that the lines Schiaparelli saw through his
telescope were actually canals that had been built by
intelligent beings. (11) One of them was an amateur
astronomer named Percival Lowell. (12) He wrote a series
of best-selling books. (13) In these books Lowell
publicized the notion that these "canals" were built by
Martian farmers who understood irrigation.
(14) In 1965 a U.S. spacecraft flying close to the
surface of Mars sent back conclusive pictures.
(15) There are no prominent channels anywhere on
the planet. (16) Lowell and Schiaparelli saw what
they wanted to see. (17) Lowell was wrong, of
course, but so was Schiaparelli.

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

These two passages discuss the same
scholarly book, Strangers from a Different
Shoreby Asian American historian Ronald
Takaki. The first passage is a critique of
the book written by another Asian
American historian, Li Ling-chi Wang; the
second is a defense of the book by its
author.
Passage 1
In terms of its approach, Takakis
book is similar to Victor and Bret Nees
Longtime Californ (1972) because both
are media through which diverse Asian
American voices surface. The major 5
difference is in how they collected and use
the voices. The Nees identified and
selected representative personalities from
different segments of the Chinese
American community in San Francisco, 10
whom they laboriously interviewed
themselves over a two-year period, and
placed these lengthy, in-depth interviews
largely verbatim in their book with
minimal narrative and analysis. From the 15
analytical standpoint, the book broke no
new ground. But it succeeded in giving us
the sights, sounds, flavors, perspectives,
and feelings of the community that had
never before been permitted to surface. 20
For their labor, the book received lavish
reviews by the mainstream press.
Takakis approach is virtually
identical with that of the Nees except the
voices used tend to be fragmentary and 25
mostly collected from indirect sources. To
begin with, no attempt was made to
distinguish voices and quotes from literary
works from voices of oral histories,
documents, and newspapers. Unlike in 30
the Nees book, only a very tiny
percentage of the voices, probably less
than 15 percent, are based on personal
interviews by Takaki and of these, most
are interviews of the authors relatives 35
and colleagues. In this respect, the
author depends almost entirely on
available primary and secondary sources,
leaving readers wondering how
representative they are. 40
Also, unlike the Nees, Takakis
book offers no analytical breakthrough for
our understanding of either Asian
American history or the newly emerging
communities. Particularly disappointing is 45
Takakis silence on the historic emergence
of Asian America in the late 1960s and
early 1970s and his ahistorical approach
to the ensuing decades in Asian American
history. The rise of ethnic and political 50
consciousness, the emergence of new
community organizations, and the rise of
Asian American studies are among the
most important developments in the
history of Asians in the United States, in 55
my view.
Unfortunately both Takaki and
Roger Daniels [in the latters Asian
America: Chinese and Japanese in the
U.S. since 1850] failed to adequately treat 60
this period of Asian America that gave
them the titles for their books, a term that
captures the richness of the newly
emerged Asian American political and
cultural expressions. 65
In this respect, book reviewers are
wrong in characterizing Takakis book as a
comprehensive history of 150 years of
Asian experience in the U.S. It is more
accurate to describe the book as a history 70
of Asians in the U.S. up to World War II,
with the final two chapters of anecdotal
events since then tacked on as an
epilogue.
Passage 2
Comparing Strangers from a 75
Different Shore to Victor and Brett Nees
Longtime Californ, Wang points out that I
did not collect the voices myself. However
my study is a very different one from the
Nees. Theirs studied only one ethnic 80
group and only one geographical
communitySan Francisco Chinatown.
Mine is comparative and also far more
comprehensive: it studies the Chinese,
J apanese, Koreans, Filipinos, Asian 85
Indians, VietnameseThus, given the
tremendous scope of my study, I had to
Line

-42-
collect most of the voices from indirect
sources such as the Ethnic Studies Oral
History Project, and I acknowledged them 90
through the study.
But I also directly interviewed
people. One of them, Touly Xiong, a
Hmong refugee now living in Wisconsin,
told me: We hope you will include our 95
stories in your book. Americans need to
understand us and what we have gone
through. He said that he had fought for
the US in Laos and that his brother had
been killed by North Vietnamese soldiers. 100
I also interviewed many of my relatives.
One of the meaningful things I discovered
and I hope other Asian American scholars
will learn is that our family histories are
tied to the histories of our communities. 105
We, as scholars, are members of
communities, and our aunts, uncles, and
cousins have stories and voices that
belong to Asian American history.
But what about Wangs claim 110
that I failed to adequately treat the
post-World War II period? I wish I had
given more attention to the 1950s, but I
felt that the book was already an
enormously long one and also that I 115
wanted to focus more on the post-1965
period. And here it is not accurate to
describe my book as a history of Asians
in the US up to World War II. The last
two chapters (out of a total of twelve 120
chapters) are devoted to exactly this time
period. As any reader will see, they are
not chapters of anecdotal events. . .
tacked on as an epilogue, as Wang
claims. Rather they are designed to relate 125
the early period to the more recent history
in a substantive way. They present an
analysis of post-World War II
developments.These certainly are not
anecdotal events. 130
