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.
            Native Americans have been living in what is now the United
States of America since long before any Europeans came. They are
not just a single group of people – there are many different tribes of
Native Americans. Different Native American groups have different
languages, religious beliefs, and ways of living, or folkways.
            You can see just how different Native American groups can
be by comparing one to another. Look at the Hopi people. The Hopi
are Native Americans who come from what is now the American
Southwest. When the Spanish came to America in the 16 th century
and found the Hopi people, they nicknamed them “pueblo people”
because Hopi people didn't move around much – they lived together
in what amounted to towns. Pueblo is a Spanish word that means
“town”. The Hopi have always have been a very peaceful people. 
Their name comes from the term Hopituh Shi-nu-mu, which means,
in the Hopi language, “The peaceful People” or “Peaceful Little
Ones”.
            Now compare the Hopi to Navajo. The Navajo come from the
same general area as the Hopi. But instead of being a “pueblo
people”, instead of staying in one place, they moved around. They
didn't live in permanent towns like the Hopi. They were a “seminomadic” people. While the Hopi were historically known for
farming, the Navajo were known for hunting and gathering. After

they met the Spanish, the Navajo became known for herding sheep.
The Hopi, not so much.
The Hopi and the Navajo were, and are, two very distinct groups of
people, and they come from the same part of the continent! So think
about how much other tribes from other parts of the continent might
differ.
For thousands of years the Chinook have lived near the coast of the
Pacific Ocean. They were known, and are still known, for being
skilled fishers. The Chinook would make huge dug-out canoes, and
the fish that they caught most often was salmon. The salmon was a
very important food source for the Chinook, and it plays a large role
in the Chinook sense of identity.
All the way across the country, over in what is now Maine, the
Penobscot also derive meaning and a sense of identity from the
animals they hunt. But they are completely different animals:
beavers, otters, moose, bears, and caribou.
            Today, there may not be as many thriving Native American
tribes as there used to be but there are more than a few. The United
States of America federally recognizes more than 500 different
Native American tribes. When a tribe is federally recognized, it
means that tribe may form its own government with its own laws,
taxes, rules. There are also about 400 non-federally recognized
tribes. All I all, there are about 1000 different groups of Native
American people in the United States, and each group is unique.
Question 31. How long have Native Americans been living in
America?
A. a few decades
B. since after the arrival of Europeans
C. about the same time as the Europeans
D. since long before any Europeans came

Question 32. Why dose the author compare different Native
American tribes throughout the passage?
A. to show that they all come from the same region of North
America
B. to show how different Native America tribes can be
C. to show the different ways Native American tribes found food
D. to show the traveling patterns of different Native American tribes
Question 33. Read the sentence: “The Hopi and the Navajo were,
and are, two very distinct groups of people, and they come from the
same part of the continent! So think about how much other tribes
from other parts of the continent might differ.” What dose the
author suggest with this information?
A. The Hopi and Navajo tribes are extremely unusual tribes.
B. Native American tribes from different parts of the continent may
be similar to the Hopi and Navajo.
C. Native American tribes from different parts of the continent may
be even more distinct from the Hopi and Navajo.
D. Other tribes may try to move to the part of North America where
the Hopi and Navajo live.
Question 34. What can be inferred about how the number of
Native American tribes has changed over time?
A. There are more Native American tribes today than in the
16th century.
B. There are fewer Native American tribes today than in the
16th century.
C. There are the same number of Native American tribe today as in
the 16th century.
D. It is unclear how the number of Native American tribes has
changed.
Question 35. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Native American tribes can be very different from one another.
B. Native American tribes should be recognized for their similarities.

C. The Spanish had a large role in determining the difference of
Native American tribes.
D. The Hopi and Navajo are the two most important Native
American tribes.
Question 36. The word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to _____.
A. the Hopi people

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.
            Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the
ability to perform new behaviors. It is common to think of learning
as something that takes place in school, but much of human
learning occurs outside the classroom, and people continue to learn
throughout their lives.
            Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk,
to talk, and to use their hands to manipulate toys, food, and other
objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights,
sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments. They learn how to
interact with their parents, siblings, friends, and other people
important to their world. When they enter school, children learn
basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics.
They also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom. They
learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely
to be punished. They learn social skills for interacting with other
children. After they finish school, people must learn to adapt to the

many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting married,
raising children, and finding and keeping a job.
            Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects
almost everything we do, the study of learning is important in many
different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to
educate children. Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and
other human-service workers need to understand how certain
experiences change people's behaviors. Employers, politicians, and
advertisers make use of the principles of learning to influence the
behavior of workers, voters, and consumers.
            Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage
of information in the brain. Psychologists who study memory are
interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage
takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge when we
need it. In contrast, psychologists who study learning are more
interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a
person's experiences.
            There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to
complex. Simple forms of learning involve a single stimulus. A
stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight,
sound, smell, touch, or taste. In a form of learning known as
classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that
occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thunder. In operant
conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a
behavior and its consequences (reward or punishment). People and
animals can also learn by observation - that is, by watching others
perform behaviors. More complex forms of learning include learning
languages, concepts, and motor skills.
