Read this excerpt from Immigrant Kids.

Giuseppe and I held tightly to Stepfather's hands, while Liberta and Helvetia clung to Mother. Passengers all about us were crowding against the rail. Jabbered conversations, sharp cries, laughs and cheers -- a steadily rising din filled the air. Mothers and fathers lifted up babies so that they too could see, off to the left, the Statue of Liberty.

What best paraphrases the central idea of the excerpt?

It was noisy on the ship sailing to America. Immigrant parents and children made a lot of noise, especially when they got to the Statue of Liberty.
Immigrant families sailing to America were excited when they finally made it to the New York harbor. Everyone on board made happy noise as they reached the United States.
Everyone on board the ship was fighting to see the Statue of Liberty. Babies and mothers and fathers all cried because they couldn’t see it, because it was off to the left.
Immigrant children had to hold tightly to their parents’ hands. There was so much crowding and jostling on board the ship. If they didn’t stay close to their parents, they would fall off the boat.

Read this excerpt from Immigrant Kids, by Russell Freedman.

Edward Corsi, who later became United States Commissioner of Immigration, was a ten-year-old Italian immigrant when he sailed into New York harbor in 1907:

My first impressions of the New World will always remain etched in my memory, particularly that hazy October morning when I first saw Ellis Island. The steamer Florida, fourteen days out of Naples, filled to capacity with 1600 natives of Italy, had weathered one of the worst storms in our captain's memory; and glad we were, both children and grown-ups, to leave the open sea and come at last through the Narrows into the Bay.

My mother, my stepfather, my brother Giuseppe, and my two sisters, Liberta and Helvetia, all of us together, happy that we had come through the storm safely, clustered on the foredeck for fear of separation and looked with wonder on this miraculous land of our dreams.

The purpose of this excerpt is to help readers understand

the excitement and relief immigrants felt upon arriving in America.
that the Narrows into the Bay was a very dangerous passage.
that Italian children were very sad after leaving their home country.
the weather the immigrants experienced on that day in October 1907.

C)by explaining how the land sheltered people from weather


D)by comparing the land with places the people had lived before


(the paragrahg)
3 Today the land is silent, save for the wind rustling the trees and the song of a canyon wren. But for the early people of Mesa Verde, the land was everything. It provided water, soil for crops, plants and animals for food, stone and wood for houses and tools, clay for pottery, and fiber for clothing and baskets. The land was also significant because topography determined where and how people moved and communicated.

The concerns about sending people to Mars are definitely worth considering. For one thing, the mission will cost billions of dollars. This would be a huge additional cost at a time when national debts continue to skyrocket. Also, that money could help fix problems here on Earth.

Mars may have valuable resources. The Earth’s resources are already starting to dwindle, and our population continues to grow. Finding resources on Mars could provide much-needed relief for the overstressed ecosystems of Earth.

Read the excerpt from Heart of a Samurai.

Manjiro wondered why the foreigners didn’t just carry their small things in separate pouches, the way it was done in Japan. But once his hands discovered his pockets, he couldn’t keep them out. His hands wanted to explore those spaces just like, when he’d lost teeth as a boy, his tongue wanted to explore the empty holes where his teeth had been.

Which words best show Manjiro’s curiosity?

“lost” and “the empty holes”
“wondered” and “wanted to explore”
“foreigners” and “separate pouches”
“carry” and “the way it was done”

Into the woods I go
Book and blanket in tow.

Like an explorer
I search for territory
among the trees,
then stake my claim
with a patchwork flag.

Like a ship
my blanket sails
on oceans of words
to worlds
unknown.

Where will I go?
Wherever the pages set my mind to roam.

How does a simile most clearly contribute to the tone of this poem?

A. The simile "to worlds unknown" creates a mysterious tone because unknown lands are associated with mystery.
B. The simile "like a ship" creates an adventurous tone because ships are associated with sailing to unknown lands.
C. The simile "like a ship" creates a childish tone because children enjoy playing with toy ships.
D. The simile "to worlds unknown" creates a confident tone because a person must be enthusiastic when traveling to foreign lands.

In Passage 1, how does the author compare the issues of tax increases and advertising on buses?


A)They are both actions that require safeguards.


B)They are both issues of controversy in school districts.


C)They are both possible approaches to dealing with budgetary concerns.


D)They are both present problems that cannot be ignored by state representatives.




(THE paragraph)

1 Tight school budgets could soon translate into Missouri school districts’ selling ad space on yellow school buses.



2 Missouri state Rep. T.J. Berry, R-Kearney, says his bill—HB 224—isn’t a cure-all by any stretch. But legalizing ads inside and outside the buses would give school districts one additional way to raise money in these tough times.



3 “Every single school district has had to deal with budget concerns,” Berry said last week. “And generally speaking, the way they have had to deal with those has been cuts or tax increases.”



4 The school bus is something that is already out there and paid for, he said. His bill would permit districts to generate a modest stream of income from their buses.



5 Few question the need for finding additional funds when it comes to educating children, but at least two groups think the school bus exteriors should remain ad-free.



6 “There is no such thing as free money,” said Josh Golin, associate director for the Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood. “There are real costs to this: the price of selling out your students to advertisers.”



7 Students don’t need the first and last message they receive from their schools each day to be advertisements, Golin said. Students boarding a bus are certainly a captive audience.



8 The National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services opposes advertising on safety grounds. Obscuring the recognizable school-bus yellow exterior with ads and distracting other drivers “present a safety problem around school buses that cannot be ignored,” the group said in its position paper.



9 National studies have shown that anything that diverts a driver’s attention from the road can pose a hazard, opponents say.



10 “And a big yellow bus doesn’t distract?” Berry asked.



11 Several years ago in Indiana, a Department of Education lawyer suggested that allowing advertisements on buses would invite First Amendment challenges by spurned advertisers, the group noted.



12 Berry said the bill would limit the types of advertising that would be allowed.



13 The regulations would prohibit ads that contain obscene or sexual material, or messages associated with gambling, tobacco products, alcohol, and political campaigns or causes. The ads could not promote drug use or “any illegal activity or antisocial behavior.” They can’t contain “harmful, discriminatory, false, misleading or deceptive” messages.



14 “There are a lot of safeguards being built in,” he said.



15 Berry emphasized that the space reserved for the ads would be “very limited,” meaning toward the back of the bus.



16 By 2012, nine states—Arizona, Colorado, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Tennessee, Texas and Utah—permitted advertising on the exterior of school buses, according to the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood. Several, including Missouri, considered it last year.



17 The bill made it out of the Missouri House last year but did not clear the Senate, Berry said. He acknowledged that the idea was “very controversial.”

Kelvin Gets His Start

2. Most teens could not imagine going to bed at 7 p.m. every night, but Kelvin would. Then, in the middle of the night, he would wake up to transform his living room. It was a "small electronics scrapyard," as Kelvin explained. Kelvin was always very interested in technology and inventions, but he lived very poorly. His community did not have modern technology. This did not stop Kelvin. He scrounged through scrapyards and dumps looking for basic components to make his inventions work.

"Now, well would it have been for him who had first spoken had he left Robin Hood alone; but his anger was hot. . . . So, of a sudden, without any warning, he sprang to his feet, and seized upon his bow and fitted it to a shaft. "Ay," cried he, "and I'll hurry thee anon." And he sent the arrow whistling after Robin."

What is the central idea of passage 1?


A)Jane must identify her attacker and move on.


B)Jane needs to apologize for her behavior to earn Mrs. Reed’s forgiveness.


C)Jane must express her own perceptions and emotions in her quest for independence.


D)Jane is learning how to understand why she is being asked to leave Mrs. Reed’s home.


(the paragraph)
1 I gathered my energies and launched them in this blunt sentence—



2 “I am not deceitful: if I were, I should say I loved you; but I declare I do not love you: I dislike you the worst of anybody in the world except John Reed; and this book about the liar, you may give to your girl, Georgiana, for it is she who tells lies, and not I.”



3 Mrs. Reed’s hands still lay on her work inactive: her eye of ice continued to dwell freezingly on mine.



4 “What more have you to say?” she asked, rather in the tone in which a person might address an opponent of adult age than such as is ordinarily used to a child.



5 That eye of hers, that voice stirred every antipathy I had. Shaking from head to foot, thrilled with ungovernable excitement, I continued—



6 “I am glad you are no relation of mine: I will never call you aunt again as long as I live. I will never come to see you when I am grown up; and if any one asks me how I liked you, and how you treated me, I will say the very thought of you makes me sick, and that you treated me with miserable cruelty.”
7 “How dare you affirm that, Jane Eyre?”

8 “How dare I, Mrs. Reed? How dare I? Because it is the truth. You think I have no feelings, and that I can do without one bit of love or kindness; but I cannot live so: and you have no pity. I shall remember how you thrust me back—roughly and violently thrust me back—into the red-room, and locked me up there, to my dying day; though I was in agony; though I cried out, while suffocating with distress, ‘Have mercy! Have mercy, Aunt Reed!’ And that punishment you made me suffer because your wicked boy struck me—knocked me down for nothing. I will tell anybody who asks me questions, this exact tale. People think you a good woman, but you are bad, hard-hearted. You are deceitful!”

(the poem)


Passage 2: "Columbus"

Behind him lay the gray Azores,



Behind the Gates of Hercules;



Before him not the ghost of shores;



Before him only shoreless seas.



5 The good mate said: "Now must we pray,



For lo! the very stars are gone.



Brave Adm'r'l, speak; what shall I say?"



"Why, say, 'Sail on! sail on! and on!'" "My men grow mutinous day by day;



10 My men grow ghastly, wan and weak."



The stout mate thought of home; a spray



Of salt wave washed his swarthy cheek.



"What shall I say, brave Adm'r'l, say,



If we sight naught but seas at dawn?"



15 "Why, you shall say at break of day:



'Sail on! sail on! sail on! and on!'"



They sailed and sailed, as winds might blow,



Until at last the blanched mate said:



"Why, now not even God would know



20 Should I and all my men fall dead.



These very winds forget their way,



For God from these dread seas is gone.


Now speak, brave Adm'r'l, speak and say"-



He said: "Sail on! sail on! and on!"


25 They sailed. They sailed. Then spake the mate:



"This mad sea shows his teeth to-night.



He curls his lip, he lies in wait,



He lifts his teeth, as if to bite!



Brave Adm'r'l, say but one good word:



30 What shall we do when hope is gone?"



The words leapt like a leaping sword:



"Sail on! sail on! sail on! and on!"



Then, pale and worn, he kept his deck,



And peered through darkness. Ah, that night



35 Of all dark nights! And then a speck-


A light! A light! At last a light!



It grew, a starlit flag unfurled!



It grew to be Time's burst of dawn.



He gained a world; he gave that world



40 Its grandest lesson: "On!
