After reading each passage or pair, choose the best answer to each question based on what is stated or implied in the passage or passages and in any accompanying graphics (such as a table or graph). Questions 1-9 are based on the following passage. This passage is from Yia Lee, “Broken Chords.” ©2011 by Yia Lee. Her place was run-down and small. It was late spring in Fresno, very hot and dry, and a window was open to catch a breeze. I liked her house because it smelled similar to mine: sweet and starchy like rice. Over in the far corner, almost hidden underneath a pile of clothes, was a piano. It caught my attention like a beacon. A piano doesn’t typically grace a Hmong household. This one was an old upright. Kalia and I were friends, but this was the first time I’d been inside her house. I didn’t recall her saying she played music. I wandered to it without trying to seem like I was heading directly there. But Kalia saw. She was a small girl, with skin the color of wet sand on the beach. Her shiny black hair was pulled back into its usual ponytail. She smiled as I stopped in front of the piano. “Do you play, Katie?” she asked, getting up and sweeping away the clothes. She put them on the couch, and then she lifted the lid to the keyboard. The white and black keys winked at me. I sat down and plinked out a few notes. “It’s in tune,” I said. Why had it been carelessly buried under all those clothes? She gestured for me to begin, so I started Mozart’s Twelve Variations on Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. It was one of my favorites. Deceptively simple, yet full of energy and whim. My fingers were bouncing around a rush of sixteenth notes, when a voice startled me. “Aaron, shut up!” A booming male voice yelled in Hmong. The music faltered and then I stopped. Kalia appeared calm, but her black eyes were annoyed. “It’s not Aaron, she’s my friend!” she called back in English. “Oh, sorry, my bad.” A body attached itself to the voice: a young man appeared in the doorway. He glanced at us carelessly and went away. “That was my older brother. Ignore him, he’s an idiot.” Kalia tried to be lighthearted, and I smiled for her sake. “He doesn’t like piano?” I asked. She shrugged. “He’ll be leaving soon—he hardly seems to live here anymore. Why don’t you finish the song?” I finished the song, although the frolicking notes seemed false now. “Do you play?” Kalia shook her head. I thought, then asked, “Who’s Aaron?” “He’s Aaron.” Kalia motioned with her head and I realized that there was another person at the doorway. He must have been standing there as I was playing, for his face had an intent, pleased expression. His skinny frame was drowning in baggy clothes and there was a gold stud in his left ear. Now that we were paying attention to him he flashed us a small smile. His black eyes seemed vaguely familiar. “How was detention?” Kalia asked him drily. “Good,” he answered. “Maybe if you do your homework, you’d avoid it,” Kalia suggested. “Maybe,” said Aaron. 11 .......................................................................................................................................................................................................

“Perhaps if you showed up in class once in a while, that would help, too.” “Perhaps,” Aaron said, his voice too pleasant. It sounded like an old argument. Kalia looked angry, and more tired than ever. I wasn’t sure what to do; my fingers hit a couple of keys accidentally. The sound of the piano shifted their attention to me. Aaron stepped into the room and approached me. “That’s my piano,” he said. I got off the bench. “I’m sorry . . .” “Don’t be, it’s just that it hasn’t been played on for a long time,” he said, trailing a finger along the white keys. “It’s weird, coming here and hearing it again . . .” “Well, then, why don’t you play something?” I said. The question just popped out of me and he hesitated. I sneaked a glance at Kalia; she was watching Aaron closely. There were undercurrents that I wasn’t sure how to read. I was wondering if I’d somehow made a mistake when he sat down abruptly on the bench and let his fingers hover over the keys. Then he pressed them down. He played Chopin, the etude nicknamed Ocean. His fingers flew as the music swept over the room. He was good. Not perfect, but he had good technique and he knew the music. I could see it in his eyes, the way they blazed a vivid crystal black. When Aaron stopped, there was a silence. I struggled to say something. Kalia beat me to words. “Aaron, this is my friend Katie Yang,” she introduced. “Katie, this is my little brother Aaron.” I said hello to him, he nodded and said, “Whatssup?” Then Kalia told him to go away and leave us alone; we were working on a project. But her tone was less angry and had more humor. When he left I looked at the piano. I could still hear the notes rolling in my mind. 1 Based on the passage, Katie’s interactions at Kalia’s house suggest that Katie has11 ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 65 70 75 Unauthorized copying or reuse of any part of this page is illegal.

Questions 10-19 are based on the following passages. Passage 1 is adapted from Suchen Christine Lim, “Singapore Literature: A Moral Force to Be Reckoned With.” ©2016 by Singapore Press Holdings Ltd. Co. Regn. No. 198402868E. Passage 2 is adapted from Lauren Elkin, “National Literature: An International Question.” ©2008 by Guardian News and Media Limited. Passage 1 A nation’s literature is the mirror through which people see themselves. Children and adults need to see themselves in their country’s fiction and poetry. Lois- Ann Yamanaka, the Pushcart Prize-winning poet and author of the book Name Me Nobody, said: “. . . until you see yourself in literature, in the written word, you don’t exist.” This is why every national school curriculum includes the study of its nation’s literary works. Reading the literature of a country is like listening to its heartbeat. One hears the hopes, fears and angst of ordinary folks like you and me. At the universal level, literature is the bridge built by Imagination to help us cross over into the interior landscape of those who are different from us, and yet the same, and as extraordinary and odd as ourselves. The writer’s focus provides readers with insights into their society. To express the unexpressed, to say the unsaid, to give voice to those with no voice— this has always been one of literature’s many contributions. In literature, king or beggar, prime minister or dialect- speaking squatter, all are equal; all can take centre stage as the main character. No other school subject focuses on the individual or marginalised in the way literature does. This, in itself, is a moral force in a world in which numbers count, and wealth, power and intellect dominate. Singapore literature has something to offer us, and the world. It is neither monocultural nor monolingual. Comprising the poetry and fiction of four official languages, Singapore literature writes across language and culture. The congregation of English and Asian voices is part of our national fabric and identity as a people. The Singapore novelist writing in English accepts the challenge of recreating and rendering the variety of Asian voices and languages into English. Our literary fiction, poetry and plays offer the reader multiple perspectives and individual narratives that question, challenge and broaden our views of ourselves beyond the national Singapore Story and the officially sanctioned founding myth. In the long run, while geography and politics continue to shape our nation, our literature will reveal our collective soul.11 ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 15 20 25 30 35 40 Unauthorized copying or reuse of any part of this page is illegal. CONTINUE 5 Line 5 10 Passage 2 “As a nation we have no literature,” the literary critic Belinsky cries in despair in part one of Tom Stoppard’s play The Coast of Utopia, lamenting the influence of European writers on Russian writers, and stressing the importance of creating a national story of their own. With storytelling comes a sense of identity. But national literatures evolve in stages, and the need for a literature of one’s own changes according to the political situation of the nation in question. A new nation, or a nation struggling to declare its independence, will be driven to create something that is theirs, a literature that tells their national story. But the flux of modern history makes this a more or less impossible task. “The universal idea speaks through humanity itself, and differently through each nation in each stage of its history,” Belinsky says, later in the same speech. The need for a national literature changes according to the moment the nation is experiencing, and Stoppard catches this exactly—on one hand the ardent yearning for one, and on the other, the contingency of the literature on the historical moment. At the recent Festival America in Paris, the question of a writer’s nationality and ethnic identity preoccupied most of the discussions. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the Nigerian-born author of Half of a Yellow Sun, argued for Nigerian literature to be taught in Nigerian schools. “It’s a paradox,” she said. “People can be considered educated while knowing nothing about our history. [They] read English books, not Nigerian books! What this means is we really don’t have a sense of our own history.” Such history, she said, could not be written by outsiders. “The stories of Africa should be written by Africans,” she declared. 55 60 65 Line 45 50 70 75 Question-and-Answer Service Student Guide

This passage is adapted from Emily Underwood, “Even in the Wild, Mice Run on Wheels.” ©2014 by American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 2009, neurophysiologist Johanna Meijer set up an unusual experiment in her backyard. In an ivy-tangled corner of her garden, she and her colleagues at Leiden University in the Netherlands placed a rodent running wheel inside an open cage and trained a motion-detecting infrared camera on the scene. Then they put out a dish of food pellets and chocolate crumbs to attract animals to the wheel and waited. Wild house mice discovered the food in short order, then scampered into the wheel and started to run. Rats, shrews, and even frogs found their way to the wheel— more than 200,000 animals over 3 years. The creatures seemed to relish the feeling of running without going anywhere. The study “puts a nail in the coffin” of the debate over whether mice and rats will run on wheels in a natural setting, says Ted Garland, an evolutionary physiologist at the University of California, Riverside. More importantly, he says, the findings suggest that like (some) humans, mice and other animals may simply exercise because they like to. Figuring out why certain strains of mice are more sedentary than others could help shed light on genetic differences between more active and sedentary people, he adds. Even before Meijer got creative in her yard, researchers knew that captive mice are exercise maniacs. In laboratories and bedrooms, they frequently log more than 5 km per night on stationary running wheels. But scientists didn’t know why the animals did it. One thing was clear: they seem to enjoy it. Mice find exercise rewarding; just as they can be trained to press a lever dozens of times to release a pellet of food, the rodents will go to great lengths to unlock a running wheel when it has a brake on, and get back to spinning, Garland says. But is the drive to run normal, or is it an aberrant, obsessive behavior triggered by living in a shoebox-sized cage? Meijer’s work seems to have answered that question. On average, the backyard mice she and colleagues observed ran in 1- to 2-minute stints, roughly the same duration as that seen in lab mice. The team also set up a second wheel in a nearby nature preserve of grassy dunes and attracted a similar crowd of enthusiasts. The animals kept running even when Meijer removed the food from the garden site, although they came in smaller numbers, she notes. Sometimes the rodents were so eager to run Line 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 Question-and-Answer Service Student Guide

CONTINUE9that they couldn’t wait to take turns, she says: At one point, a large mouse sent a smaller mouse flying when it climbed on to the wheel and started running in the opposite direction. The fact that the wild mice and other animals were bold enough to enter the cage and use the wheel is “very weird,” but perhaps not as surprising when one considers that many domesticated animals also like to run on wheels, including dogs and chickens, says Justin Rhodes, a neuroscientist at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Although the common house mice observed in the study tend to be more leery of novel structures than other species—an evolutionary adaptation to the human penchant for building mousetraps—Garland suggests that the wheel may provide a more secure way for the animals to run than darting across an open field. “There’s something attractive about being able to get in a wheel and run unfettered.” 50 55 60 65 Question-and-Answer Service Student Guide

Questions 29-37 are based on the following passage and supplementary material. This passage is adapted from Leonard Mlodinow, Subliminal: How Your Unconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior. ©2012 by Leonard Mlodinow. Twentieth-century psychologist Frederic Bartlett believed that the distortions he had observed in people’s recall could be accounted for by assuming that their minds followed certain unconscious mental scripts, which were aimed at filling in gaps and making information consistent with the way they thought the world to be. Wondering whether our social behavior might also be influenced by some unconscious playbook, cognitive psychologists postulated the idea that many of our daily actions proceed according to predetermined mental “scripts”—that they are, in fact, mindless. In one test of that idea, an experimenter sat in a library and kept an eye on the copier. When someone approached it, the experimenter rushed up and tried to cut in front, saying, “Excuse me, I have five pages. May I use the Xerox machine?” Unless the subject was making a great many more than five copies, the experimenter has provided no justification for the intrusion, so why yield? Apparently a good number of people felt that way: 40 percent of the subjects gave the equivalent of that answer, and refused. The obvious way to increase the likelihood of compliance is to offer a valid and compelling reason why someone should let you go first. And indeed, when the experimenter said, “Excuse me, I have five pages. May I use the Xerox machine, because I’m in a rush?” the rate of refusals fell radically, from 40 percent to just 6 percent. That makes sense, but the researchers suspected that something else might be going on; maybe people weren’t consciously assessing the reason and deciding it was a worthy one. Maybe they were mindlessly—automatically—following a mental script. That script might go something like this: Someone asks a small favor with zero justification: say no; someone asks a small favor but offers a reason, any reason: say yes. The idea is easy to test. Just walk up to people approaching a photocopier and to each of them say something like “Excuse me, I have five pages. May I use the Xerox machine, because xxx,” where “xxx” is a phrase that, though parading as the reason for the request, really provides no justification at all. The researchers chose as “xxx” the phrase “because I have to make some copies,” which merely states the obvious and does not offer a legitimate reason for butting in. If the people making copies consciously weighed this nonreason against their own needs, one would expect them to refuse in the same proportion as in the case in which no reason was offered11 ...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

—about 40 percent. But if the very act of giving a reason was important enough to trigger the “yes” aspect of the script, regardless of the fact that the excuse itself had no validity, only about 6 percent should refuse, as occurred in the case in which the reason provided—“I’m in a rush”—was compelling. And that’s exactly what the researchers found. When the experimenter said, “Excuse me, I have five pages. May I use the Xerox machine, because I have to make some copies?” only 7 percent refused, virtually the same number as when a valid and compelling reason was given. The lame reason swayed as many people as the legitimate one. In their research report, those who conducted this experiment wrote that to unconsciously follow preset scripts “may indeed be the most common mode of social interaction. While such mindlessness may at times be troublesome, this degree of selective attention, of tuning the external world out, may be an achievement.” Indeed, here is the unconscious performing its usual duty, automating tasks so as to free us to respond to other demands of the environment. In modern society, that is the essence of multitasking—the ability to focus on one task while, with the aid of automatic scripts, performing others.11 ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 50 55 60 65 70 Unauthorized copying or reuse of any part of this page is illegal.

This passage is adapted from Elizabeth Pennisi, “How Do Microbes Shape Animal Development?” ©2013 by American Association for the Advancement of Science. Animals and plants have always shared space with bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microbes, coevolving through the millennia. In the mid-1800s, however, scientists came to view microbes primarily as enemies and fought hard with antibiotics, vaccines, and good hygiene to get the best of them. But the microscopic world is so intertwined with macroscopic life that the idea that each multicellular animal exists as a separate individual defined by its genome is falling by the wayside. There is a growing realization that microbes and their genes are partners in each animal’s journey from egg through adulthood. “What we understand to be the ‘individual’ develops as a consortium of animal cells and microbes,” says Scott Gilbert, a developmental biologist from Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania. “Microbes came before us, so all development that takes place in all organisms has basically been taking place in the presence of the microbiota,” adds Sven Pettersson of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. The evidence for coevolution in developmental processes is coming from far corners of the animal kingdom. Whereas marine biologists once thought that the drifting larvae of coral, snails, and other oceangoing invertebrates randomly settled down to become adults, they now know that many respond to cues from bacterial biofilms (colonies of microorganisms that adhere to a surface) to pick their new homes. And while many animals develop in wombs or eggs apparently free of microbes, they may still rely on microbes to set in motion or complete certain aspects of postnatal development. Mammals acquire microbial partners after birth and seem to have evolved strategies to encourage the right species to settle in specific places. Human milk, for example, contains complex sugars that infants cannot digest but which promote the growth of intestinal bifidobacteria. But what do these microbial partners do? Germfree mice have finally allowed researchers to begin addressing this question. These are mice that lack the usual complement of gut bacteria because they are bred and raised in sterile environments and eat sterilized food. Studies of such mice make an increasingly strong case Line 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 Question-and-Answer Service Student Guide

CONTINUE1445 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 that bifidobacteria and other gut bacteria guide the postnatal maturation of the intestinal and immune systems, and even parts of the brain, in mammals. The microbes turn on mammalian genes important for cellular differentiation (the process by which less specialized cells become more specialized) and produce metabolic products that may also affect development. Gut-associated lymphoid tissue and the capillary beds of the villi of the intestine fail to adequately develop in germfree mice, for example. The evidence for a role for symbionts (the smaller participant in a relationship between two different organisms) in the postnatal developing brain is more preliminary but nonetheless intriguing. More and more connections are being found between the gut microbiota and behavior. In 2011, Pettersson and his colleagues tested anxiety levels and locomotor activity in germfree mice and found that the rodents are hyperactive and have a decreased level of anxiety compared with mice with a healthy microbiota. There were also differences in the activity of genes associated with motor activity and anxiety. There seems to be a window of activity for the microbiota to influence behavior patterns: Colonizing germfree mice with normal mouse microbes negated these differences in young, but not older, mice, they reported. Some work suggests that gut microbes influence behavior through the vagus nerve, which connects the brain with the digestive system, but Pettersson and others suspect a role for blood-borne bacterial products as well. These products, which make up 10% or more of the metabolites in blood, may extend the reach of the gut microbiota throughout the body. That realization may mean that prenatal development in mammals isn’t as free from microbial influence as everyone has thought. In mammals, the developing fetus is virtually bacteria-free; hence, researchers have focused on finding a role for bacteria in development after birth. Yet blood-borne metabolites from a mother’s gut germs could exert an effect on a growing fetus. “That was one of the assumptions, that pregnancy did not involve microbes,” Gilbert says. “But it probably does.” Question-and-Answer Service Student Guide

In return, if the campaign reaches its financial goal, pledgers receive rewards based on how much they initially contributed. Even before Kickstarter and PledgeMusic, bands were using the Internet business model to fund their music. One of these early success stories was the British band Marillion. In 1996 the band’s members set up their own website to help finance their upcoming North American tour, and they manage to raise $60,000 from their fans. A few years later, facing conflict with their record label and management team, they turned again to the public, asking fans to preorder their next album—essentially as a way of funding its production.

They can also use crowdfunding to gain financial support over a longer period of time, rather than for a particular project. This can allow performers to make a living from their music. On her crowdfunding website Mission Control, Canadian singer Kim Boekbinder asks her fans to pledge a given amount of money each month: $5 per month, for example, allows a supporter to download any new songs she releases, while $1,000 per month will get a supporter much more, such as a song written specifically for him or her. With this approach, Boekbinder has been able to guarantee herself: a regular income—and a regular audience. 6 8 7 Question-and-Answer Service Student Guide

Those contemplating a campaign should have an established fan base since people are unlikely to contribute money, especially on a commonplace basis, to a musician whose work they do not already know—for instance, someone at the very beginning of his or her career. Musicians also need to devote a significant amount of time and effort to their campaigns, all for an uncertain outcome. However, for some musicians, crowdfunding is an attractive and viable financial model, one that enables them to earn a livelihood and reach new music listeners who may otherwise never have heard of them.22 ...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Questions 12-22 are based on the following passage. Do Goats Look to Us for Help? Scientists have long known that some animals that have been bred to interact with humans, such as dogs and horses, will make eye contact to communicate with their human companions. A recent study by scientists at Queen Mary University of London examined whether goats, animals that have been bred as livestock rather than as companions or working animals, could also utilize eye contact. In the study, goats were habituated to friendly interactions with to open a transparent plastic box to retrieve food. The goats were then divided into two groups and placed one at a time in a pen with an experimenter who put food into an unopenable box, leaving the food visible but impassable. For goats in the first group, the experimenter then continued to look at the food box, his face fully visible to the goats. For goats in the second group, the experimenter turned his back on the food box, a position that prevented the goats from seeing his face.22 ...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Previous studies showed that dogs and horses in similar situations would use directed gazes toward humans to request help, and researchers were curious whether the goats would do the same. The researchers analyzed gaze latency (how long it took the goats to look at the experimenter), frequency (how often they did so); and duration (how long the gazes lasted) for goats in each of the two groups.22 ...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Whether or not the experimenter faced the food box had a large the goats’ behavior, the researchers found. When the experimenter was facing away, the goats barely looked in his direction: the researchers obtained a median result of zero for gaze duration and 5.14 for gaze frequency. Likewise, when the experimenter faced the food box, the goats tended to look at him multiple times (the median number of gazes was 2.50) and hold each gaze (the median duration of these gazes was 2.50 seconds). These differences suggest that the potential for eye contact was important in prompting the animals’ gaze.22 ...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

A Home in Harlem In 1924 Regina Anderson and Ethel Ray Nance 23 moved, into an apartment with Louella Tucker, at 580 Saint Nicholas Avenue in New York City. 24 Calling it “Dream Haven” or simply “580” among those who congregated there, the apartment was 25 located on the fifth floor of a six-story building. At 580, Anderson and Nance offered a wide range of support to many of the era’s big-time figures. The women were particularly interested in reaching out to talented individuals and encouraging them to join the growing arts community in Harlem. For many of these artists, 580 became a home away from home— sometimes literally.

D. was conveniently located near the 135th Street branch of the New York Public Library, where many literary events took place. 2538 For example, when Nance convinced the painter Aaron Douglas to leave his job in Kansas City to come to New York, he let them sleep on a couch in 580 upon his arrival. The apartment served a similar purpose for author and anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston, who arrived in New York without any money more than a decade before writing her celebrated novel Their Eyes Were Watching God. The home also frequently played host to W. E. B. Du Bois, who lived nearby on Saint Nicholas Avenue. Through events held at 580, young writers such as Countee Cullen and Langston Hughes were able to meet and discuss their interests and concerns with experienced authors and publishers. 27 28 29 Question-and-Answer Service Student Guide

The speeches and conversations at the Civic Club so impressed editor and publisher Paul Kellogg that he devoted an issue of his magazine Survey Graphic to what at the time was known as the “New Negro Movement.” The issue, titled “Harlem: Mecca of the New Negro,” sold 40,000 copies in just two weeks and was later expanded into the anthology The New Negro, which scholars consider one of the defining texts of the Harlem Renaissance. Nance contributed to the endeavor as well, recommending Aaron Douglas’s paintings to Kellogg. After Kellogg featured him in the magazine and the anthology, Douglas became established as one of the foremost visual artist of the movement. Although Anderson and Nance were instrumental in the development of the Harlem Renaissance while they lived together, this period in their lives was relatively brief. Within two years, 580 had broken up, Nance had to return home to Duluth, Minnesota, because of an illness in her family. Anderson and Nance’s influence lived on, however, in the success of Douglas, Hughes, and the other writers and artists whose careers were nurtured at 580 Saint Nicholas Avenue. 30 31 32 33 Question-and-Answer Service Student Guide

Under the theory of cultura madre, or mother culture, the Maya civilization was directly influenced by the Olmec. C. The theory of cultura madre, or mother culture, holds that artistic products and clothing styles of the ancient Mesoamerican world were all derived from the Olmec. D. Jeffrey P. Blomster supports the cultura madre theory and studies the Olmec. Questions 34-44 are based on the following passage. Unearthing the Origins of the Maya The Maya famously built grand pyramids, crafting a complex written language, and constructed an impressive numerical system. Archaeologists have excavated many numerous sites and learned much about how the Maya lived, but they know much less about Maya origins. Although a definitive account is impossible, scholars have two competing theories to explain the Maya civilization’s rise: cultura madre and cultura hermana. The proponents of cultura madre, or mother culture, believe that chemical analysis of Olmec pottery proves their theory. The Olmec civilization is considered the oldest in the Americas. Mother-culture proponents think the Maya adopted the customs of the Olmec, including their calendar system and their politically important ball games. While the Maya did not copy the Olmec entirely—they didn’t sculpt colossal stone heads— the mother-culture proponents believe the similarities are sufficient to claim that the Olmec were the source of Maya civilization.

NO CHANGE B. for instance, C. moreover, D. instead, 29 Recent finds, however, show that the Olmec weren’t necessarily mother or sister to the Maya. At the Ceibal site in Guatemala, archaeologists Takeshi 31 Inomata, and Daniela Triadan, led a team to dig deeper. From 2005 to 2012, they excavated below large Maya monuments and found evidence of ceremonial architecture dating back to 1000 BCE. These ceremonial spaces are significant because San Lorenzo, the Olmec’s oldest city, dating to 1400 BCE, didn’t have any. Also, the ceremonial spaces that were at the Olmec city La Venta date to around 800 BCE. Thus, the Olmec likely didn’t influence the earlier structures at Ceibal. Inomata, Triadan, and her team believe that the finds at Ceibal and later monuments at La Venta were indicative of a significant societal change. According to Inomata, “Instead of starting with villages, they made a ceremonial center.” Perhaps the Olmec civilization wasn’t a mother or sister to the Maya, but instead both were part of larger conversations. 42 A.

After reading each passage or pair, choose the best answer to each question based on what is stated or implied in the passage or passages and in any accompanying graphics (such as a table or graph). Questions 1-10 are based on the following passage. This passage is adapted from Amit Chaudhuri,A Strange and Sublime Address. ©1991 by Amit Chaudhuri. A ten-year-old boy named Sandeep travels with his mother, his aunt (Mamima), and his uncle (Chhotomama) to visit family in Calcutta, India. Two boys were playing carrom on the steps of a small, painted shed which had the following words on its wall in large, black letters: NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SPORTSMEN. A single table-tennis table inside the shed could be glimpsed through the window. The boys interrupted their game to give Chhotomama directions to the house in a series of sporadic, enthusiastic gestures. Oh yes, they knew the old couple. And yes, their son and daughter-in-law had arrived last night with their first child. “Is it a girl or a boy?” asked Mamima, rolling down the window. “A girl,” said the boy. Mamima rolled up her window before the mosquitoes came in. The two boys vanished behind them. When they reached the house, they found that the old man was waiting on the verandah with a lantern in his hand. Moths were shuddering round and round the lantern, though the old man was oblivious to them. He had come out because he had heard the throbbing of the engine in the distance. The night had been silent except for the questioning cry of an owl and the continual orchestral sound of crickets in the bushes. The throbbing of the engine had, therefore, travelled through the silence to the old man’s listening ear, and to his wife’s ear, even when the car was relatively far away and beyond their range of vision. They had pondered over the sound, and finally, he had lit the lantern and shuffled out. “I told her,” he said, referring to his wife. “I told her that I heard the car, I knew it was the car, I told her you were coming.” Once they were inside, Mamima gave the pot of yoghurt and the pot of sweetmeats to the old lady. “There was no need,” she said. “Oh really,” she said. “This is too much,” she insisted, with the air of one who has just received the Kohinoor diamond as a birthday present. “Come, come, come,” said Chhotomama, with the air of someone who has just given the Kohinoor diamond as a birthday present, and refuses to be overawed by his own generosity. “It’s nothing.” It wasnothing, of course, only Ganguram’s sweets and yoghurt, but they fussed and fussed and created the illusion that it was something, something unique and untasted and unencountered. The son and the daughter-in-law emerged shyly from the anteroom. They both stooped gently to touch Chhotomama’s feet, and Sandeep’s aunt’s and his mother’s feet, a traditional greeting and a mark of obeisance towards one’s elders. “Oh no no no,” said Chhotomama, struggling to keep the son’s hand away from his feet. “There’s no need for all this.” This was half a token gesture towards modesty, and half towards the new, “modern” India—Nehru’s secular India, free of ritual and religion. 11 ........................................................................\ ...............................................................................................................................\ Line 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 Unauthorized copying or reuse of any part of this page is illegal.

Sandeep, meanwhile, had come to the conclusion that the grown-ups were mad, each after his or her own fashion. Simple situations were turned into complex, dramatic ones; not until then did everyone feel important and happy. Will they never grow up? thought Sandeep irately. He glanced around him. A single blue, fluorescent tube was burning on the wall. It was not a big room. Despite its bareness, the impression it gave was of austerity rather than poverty. It made one remember that poverty meant displacement as well as lack, while austerity meant being poor in a rooted way, within a tradition and culture of sparseness, which transformed even the lack, the paucity, into a kind of being. 1 According to the passage, the old man was standing on the verandah because A) he was watching cars travel down the road.

Sandeep, meanwhile, had come to the conclusion that the grown-ups were mad, each after his or her own fashion. Simple situations were turned into complex, dramatic ones; not until then did everyone feel important and happy. Will they never grow up? thought Sandeep irately. He glanced around him. A single blue, fluorescent tube was burning on the wall. It was not a big room. Despite its bareness, the impression it gave was of austerity rather than poverty. It made one remember that poverty meant displacement as well as lack, while austerity meant being poor in a rooted way, within a tradition and culture of sparseness, which transformed even the lack, the paucity, into a kind of being. 1 According to the passage, the old man was standing on the verandah because A) he was watching cars travel down the road. B) the two boys had reported the visitors would soon arrive. C) he had heard what he believed to be the visitors’ car. D) he enjoyed listening to the quiet sounds of the evening. 2 In the passage, the yoghurt and sweetmeats are compared to a A) jewel. B) cuisine. C) wedding gift. D) generous donation. 3 As used in lines 37 and 40, “air” most nearly means A) atmosphere. B) absence. C) demeanor. D) melody. 4 The characters’ behavior during the gift giving mainly serves to A) emphasize the lavish value of the gift. B) inflate the significance of the gesture. C) convey indifference toward the gift. D) stress the need for polite behavior. 5 Which choice provides the best evidence for the answer to the previous question? A) Lines 43-44 (“It was. . . yoghurt”) B) Lines 44-46 (“they...unencountered”) C) Lines 52-54 (“Oh no...allthis”) D) Lines 58-60 (“I have...stop me”) 6 The description of Chhotomama and the son’s interaction mainly serves to A) show how the characters diverge in their approaches to cultural practices. B) emphasize the characters’ complex relationship. C) stress the characters’ misinterpretations of Indian history. D) depict how the characters created gestures that became routine. 11 ........................................................................\ ...............................................................................................................................\ ........................................................................................................ 60 65 70 75 Unauthorized copying or reuse of any part of this page is illegal.

A ten-year-old boy named Sandeep travels with his mother, his aunt (Mamima), and his uncle (Chhotomama) to visit family in Calcutta, India. 5wo boys were playing carrom on the steps of a small, painted shed which had the following words on its wall in large, black letters /A5*0/A- A440C*A5*0/ 0' 410354.&/. A single table-tennis table inside the shed could be glimpsed through the window. 5he boys interrupted their game to giWe Chhotomama directions to the house in a series of sporadic, enthusiastic gestures. 0h yes, they knew the old couple. And yes, their son and daughter-in-law had arriWed last night with their first child. i*s it a girl or a boy?w asked .amima, rolling down the window. iA girl,w said the boy. .amima rolled up her window before the mosquitoes came in. 5he two boys Wanished behind them. When they reached the house, they found that the old man was waiting on the Werandah with a lantern in his hand. .oths were shuddering round and round the lantern, though the old man was obliWious to them. )e had come out because he had heard the throbbing of the engine in the distance. 5he night had been silent eYcept for the questioning cry of an owl and the continual orchestral sound of crickets in the bushes. 5he throbbing of the engine had, therefore, traWelled through the silence to the old man’s listening ear, and to his wife’s ear, eWen when the car was relatiWely far away and beyond their range of Wision. 5hey had pondered oWer the sound, and finally, he had lit the lantern and shuffled out. i* told her,w he said, referring to his wife. i* told her that * heard the car, * knew it was the car, * told her you were coming.w 0nce they were inside, .amima gaWe the pot of yoghurt and the pot of sweetmeats to the old lady. i5here was no need,w she said. i0h really,w she said. i5his is too much,w she insisted, with the air of one who has just receiWed the ,ohinoor diamond as a birthday present. iCome, come, come,w said Chhotomama, with the air of someone who has just giWen the ,ohinoor diamond as a birthday present, and refuses to be oWerawed by his own generosity. i*t’s nothing.w *t wasnothing, of course, only (anguram’s sweets and yoghurt, but they fussed and fussed and created the illusion that it was something, something unique and untasted and unencountered. 5he son and the daughter-in-law emerged shyly from the anteroom. 5hey both stooped gently to touch Chhotomama’s feet, and 4andeep’s aunt’s and his mother’s feet, a traditional greeting and a mark of obeisance towards one’s elders. i0h no no no,w said Chhotomama, struggling to keep the son’s hand away from his feet. i5here’s no need for all this.w 5his was half a token gesture towards modesty, and half towards the new, imodernw *ndia�/ehru’s secular *ndia, free of ritual and religion. 11 ........................................................................\ ...............................................................................................................................\ Line 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 Unauthorized copying or reuse of any part of this page is illegal.
