Passage 1: Excerpt from Will Yellow School Buses Soon Become Rolling Ads?
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.”

(questions)
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.

Read the excerpt from We Shall Not Be Moved.

League women came and went, usually at a run. Some were "ladies,” like Mary Dreier, others were worker-members, like Rose Schneiderman, a former cap maker, and Leonora O’Reilly, who had started work in a collar factory at the age of eleven. Another League member, Rose Pastor Stokes, known as the red Yiddish Cinderella, used to work in a cigar factory. When she became engaged to the son of a millionaire — they had met at a settlement house — front page headlines in the New York Times announced J. G. Phelps Stokes to Wed Young Jewess. At strike headquarters Mrs. Stokes delivered fiery speeches about freeing workers from the shackles of the bosses.

What conclusion can be drawn by connecting knowledge of the historical time period with information in the text?

The women of the league were wealthy women who had little-to-no experience working in a garment factory.
The support of wealthy league women contributed to the successful outcome of the female garment workers' strike.
Women who worked in garment factories were often married, so it was not critical that they receive equal pay.
Women who did not need to work were not interested in or aware of the difficulties faced by garment factory workers.

Passage 1: Excerpt from Chapter 4 of Jane Eyre



In this section from the end of Chapter 4, Jane Eyre is still a child and is taking leave of her guardian, Mrs. Reed, who has treated her with great unkindness.



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.”



In paragraph 2 of Passage 1, Jane exclaims, “I am not deceitful.” What reason does Jane have for using the word deceitful?


A)to explain that she is not lazy


B)to explain that she is not truthful


C)to explain that she is not forgetful

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! sail on!"

When the Rosetta Stone was discovered nobody knew how to read the hieroglyphs or ancient Egyptian demotic. The stone was also written in ancient Greek. Since the inscriptions said the same thing in three different languages the Rosetta Sone became a very valuable piece of information. Through the work of many people, it took more than two months to uncover what the Rosetta Stone said. The Rosetta Stone is a rock that was written on by Egyptian priests for the honor of an Egyptian Pharaoh named Ptolemy V Epiphanes.

Even though the Rosetta Stone is in three different languages archeologists and scholars were able to translate it and read the inscriptions in a modern understanding. Jean-Francois Champollion was the first to crack the code of the Rosetta Stone. Napoleon Bonaparte's a french soldier was the first to find the Rosetta Stone with the writing near the town of Rashid. While digging the additions of a foundation for a fort near the town or Rashid in the Nile Delta the Stone was found.

The Damage on the Rosetta Stone made the three texts incomplete. The Egyptian hieroglyphics had suffered the most damage out of the three texts. Some of the text is incomplete due to cracks and missing pieces from the stone, but scholars and archeologists were still able to translate what it said. The Egyptian priests had craved the Rosetta Stone 196 BC during the Ptolemaic dynasty. The stone was made of a material called Granodiorite.

Which pieces of textual evidence from Selection 1 best represent the idea that nothing will prevent the speaker from being at sea?

“a clear call that may not be denied” (line 6)


C)“a windy day” (line 7)
“the white clouds flying” (line 7)


D)“the gull’s way and the whale’s way” (line 10)
“the wind’s like a whetted knife” (line 10)




(the POEM)




I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a gray mist on the sea’s face and a grey dawn breaking.






I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.



1



I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way, where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn¹ from a laughing fellow-rover²,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.
