1.
During the later stages of World War II, pilots of advanced fighter aircraft experienced strange and alarming behavior on the part of their machines when in a high-speed dive they approached the speed of sound. Their planes buffeted and wrenched about. Controls sometimes reversed or became ineffective, and increased drag set in. The Concorde regularly flies at several times the speed of sound. In some cases the wings tore off, and the plane broke apart and crashed. Because of these experiences there developed the idea of a sonic wall, a "sound barrier" of some kind through which no aircraft could pass unscathed.

--C.D.B. Bryan

Read the spatially organized paragraph below. Then answer the questions that follow it.

I stepped into the room, stopped, and gazed at its splendor. The ceilings were extremely high and painted with golden and rose-colored cherubs. From the center of the ceiling dangled a brilliant crystal chandelier lit with hundreds of candles. The walls, covered in rich blue silk fabric, were hung with huge oil paintings in elaborately gilt frames. Ornate antique furniture was placed all around the rooms against the walls. And the floors! Soft oriental carpets in glowing blues and roses contrasted with the gleaming teakwood floors that bordered them.

Read the paragraph below, which is organized according to order of importance. Then answer the questions that follow it. Type your answer in the text box below each question.

Of all the jobs I have held so far, serving as a summer intern in my congressman's local office was the most gratifying. I gained some important insights into how a legislator interacts with his constituency, and what the needs and opinions of that constituency are. This fascinating job, although not salaried, seems so much more worthwhile than the one I held briefly in a fast-food establishment. Even though the latter position helped my bank account, it seemed repetitious and boring, as well as physically exhausting. The real low point of my "career" was the summer I was a baby-sitter three mornings a week for two spoiled and rambunctious children under five years of age. By noon, when their mother returned, I was a wreck--physically, emotionally, and mentally. I wasn't that much richer, either!

Read the paragraph below. Then answer the questions.

To both people and computers, language is essential to all communication. Both computers and children must be taught how to communicate through language. The sequence of learning, however, is different for the two. Whereas most children have little trouble with spoken language but take more time in learning written language, the opposite is true of computers. A computer has little trouble mastering written language, but spoken language is another story. Even the most advanced computers cannot yet speak or understand spoken language with the precision of a six-year-old.
