Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
Almost everyone knows that around 65 million years ago there was a mass extinction that killed
the dinosaurs. Actually, it killed not only the dinosaurs, but also 85% of all other species on Earth.
Most people also generally accept that this was the result of a huge asteroid crashing into the Earth.
What many people do not realize is that this was simply the most recent mass extinction in the Earth’s
history. There have been other mass extinction in the Earth’s history, some of which were much worse
than the one that killed the dinosaurs.
Mass extinction is the term scientists use when a significant portions of the Earth’s species die out
in a relatively short period of time (within a few million years). As far as we know, there have been at
least 6 of these in the last 600 million years. The earliest one that we know about occurred around 570
million years ago. We have very little information about this mass extinction because most of the
animals at this time were very primitive. They were creatures like jellyfish and slugs, which did not
have bones, and therefore did not leave fossils for us to study. Later mass extinctions are better
understood. The one thing that is not understood, however, is the causes of these mass extinction.
While scientists are fairly sure that the last one was caused by an asteroid, it seems unlikely that all
mass extinctions were caused in this manner.
Most of the other possible causes for mass extinctions involve some form of climate change. For
example, scientists suspect that a sudden, significant change in sea levels around the world may have
been responsible for one or more of the mass extinctions. Such a rise in sea level would have most
likely been started by the melting of large amounts of ice at the North and South Poles. Other
possibilities include widespread droughts or significant changes in the average world temperature.
What could have caused such changes in the first place, however, is not what initiates these changes is
unknown. It is, however, an important question to answer if we are to survive the next extinction.

A. Extinction Event for Dinosaurs B. Possible Causes of Mass Extinctions

Question 29: According to paragraph 2, why is little known about the earliest mass extinction?
A. The animal’s bodies were not advanced enough to leave behind evidence.
B. The animals alive at this time were too different from modern animals for us to study.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
Out of all the branches of science, none offers us as much insight on how things in the universe
work quite like physics. Although it often requires advanced mathematics, physics also requires lots of
creativity. Researchers need this in order to come up with theories, and to create the experiments
necessary to prove them. Even if mathematics and science aren’t your strong suits, you can still learn a

lot of cool stuff through physics. Just be warned, because a lot of this information is truly mind-
bending.
In our lives, we often think of things in terms of the past, present and future. However, Einstein’s
theory of relativity shows that these things do not really exist at all. It suggests that all things and
events in the universe are relative. Depending on our location and the speed at which we are moving,
we will see things differently. The reason that people can agree on whether something is past, present
and future is because we are moving at similar speeds and we are affected similarly by the Earth’s
gravitationally field as well.
At the same time, physicists believe that things which happen in the future can affect the events of
the past. The double-split experiments showed that light will sometimes behave like a wave, and
sometimes behave like a particle, depending on whether or not someone views the experiment. Yet in
another experiment, researchers discovered that if you watch light immediately after it goes through the
slit, it retroactively changes its behavior. Although the future influencing the past occurs in just a
fraction of a second in this study, seeing something from a distant planet in another galaxy could
theoretically change something that happened millions of years ago.
Everyone can admit that some days are better than others. The next time you’re feeling depressed
about something, consider that somewhere in the universe a different version of you is having a great
day. That’s because the universe is infinite; in other words, it never ends. This means that considering
trillions of stars and billions of galaxies doesn’t even really scratch the surface. As there is no end to
possibility, every event must have happened in every way imaginable an infinite number of time. So
when you look at your test paper and see you’ve received an “F” grade, somewhere out there is an
alternative universe when you’ve scored an “A” instead.
