,: To: Lanie Price

From: Anthony Dijani
Subject: Photography Club
Sent: August 19, 11:05 e.u.
Hi, Lanie,
I'm excited about starting the photography club with you this year. I know it's still
sufirmer vacation, but I've had some ideas for the club. Maybe we could meet before
¿¡¿¿ SChool starts to discuss them.
s The first school event will be the annual club fair. This is our big chance to find new
members. Let's talk to Ms. Wilson during the first week of school about setting up a
table. We could put up some examples of different styles of photography that will
atfracf potential members to our table.
Maybe we should also talk to Mr. Wu, the art teacher, about adding a photography
lo display to the school art show in the spring. We might be able to enter some of the
best photographs from club members into the art competition.
The last idea I had was about meeting with the newspaper editor, Ms. Gomez, to see
whether we can provide photographs for the paper. I know they're always looking
for photographers, so this might be a great opportunity to collaborate with another
rs school club.
These are just a few ideas, and you probably have some of your own. Let's find a
time to meet!

Sincerely,
Anthony

Questions 9-16 are about the following article.
Last Wednesday, Rockville Academy held its
twelfth annual science fair. While the school holds
many activities throughout the year, the science fair
L¡ne is always the event that students look forward to the
i most. This year, students spent over two months
preparing their projects for the competition. Each
student hoped to win the grand prize trophy.
"Since September, I have guided my students in
preparing their projects," said Mr. Block, one of the
ro school's science teachers. "They came up with
ideas, completed the projects, and calculated the
results all on their own. I was just there to make
sure thev worked safely." Mr. Block started the
science fair over ten years ago, when he first came
¡s to Rockville. Now, it is a tradition that has grown to
be one of the most popular events on the school
calendar.
"This was the first time I'd ever taken part in a
science fair," said Maria Jacobs, a student who
20 started at Rockville this year. ',My project was
challenging to put together and I hit a rough patch
in the middle, but I eventually figured out all of the
problems. I think I did a good job, and the judges
seemed to like it."
2s Many people at Rockville Academy have worked
hard over the past couple of months to make the
science fair a success. Organizing an event like the
Rockville Science Fair requires a lot of preparation
and a lot of volunteers. Many student volunteers
-ro helped to set up the tables where the projects were
displayed. In fact, some volunteers, like tenth grader
-32-
Paulo da Silva, helped out at last year,s competition,
too. Ms. Jones, a chemisüry teacher and judge of the
compeütion, was impressed. "It was amazing to see
ir
so many student volunteers making this whole thing
happen-right up to the minute it started.,,
The competition began at noon, and all afternoon
classes were canceled to allow students the
opportunity to go to the gymnasium and look
¿o around at science projects. As the 35 students
displayed their projects, everyone waited for the
judges'verdict, which would determine the winners
of the top three prizes.
"LJnfortunately, some experiments didn,t work
+s properly when the judges were walking by,,, said
Bryan DiSantis, one of the participants,
remembering how he felt. "I know I could have won
if they had seen my project when it was working.',
The first-prize winner, however, had a project
so that attracted a lot of attention throughout the
science fair.
"I wanted to see if playing different types of
music would affect the way that plants grew,,,
explained Jana McCarthy. "So I played loud music
Ji to some plants and quiet, calming music to others. I
was su¡prised to learn that the plants that were
exposed to the calming music actually grew better. I
think so many people came over to my project
because they wondered where the music was
ro coming from."
Details about the other science projects can be
found on üe Rockville Academy Web site.

Questions 17-23 are about the following story.

Jade had been excited when Mr. Lopez asked her tp write'a piece of music for the
school orchestra. "You're such a talented musician, Jade," the music teacher said. "It's
not every day that I have a student who can play so many instruments and who can also
r¡ne write music. So, I want you to write something that captures the spirit of Carver School
s and makes students proud to go here. It will be the opening piece for the spring concert."
Jade had written some smaller pieces for Mr. Lopez before, but they were just music
class assignments. No one had ever even performed any of them. This was something
completely different.
And now, after four hours of sitting at the piano, Jade was no longer excited. Instead,
¡o she was drained. She had never thought so hard in her life, and she still had no idea how
to begin the piece. She closed her eyes and laid her head on the piano.
Jade tried to think of music that would make students proud to go to Carver. Maybe
she should write something slow and serious, like the music at her brother's university
graduation last year. The students marched down the field in long robes as trumpets
rs played loudly. But that didn't seem quite right.
How could she capture the spirit of Carver, like Mr. Lopez said? It was certainly an
active and happy place. Jade thought about the school hallways in the morning, filled
with students' chatter and laughter. Every so often, the metallic sound of a locker
shutting would echo down the hall. She sat up and put her hands on the keys, trying to
zo replícate the sound of students talking. She played quick notes with her left hand, then
her right, creating a sort of conversation. Then she added some sharp high notes. Those
were the school lockers!
With a new sense of energy, Jade began to think about the sounds she heard every day
at school. For the sound of papers being handed out, she played a smooth line of quiet
2i notes, one right after the other. Birds sang in the courtyard at lunchtime, so she let her
fingers dance over the high black keys. There...that sounded just like them! Smiling to
herself, Jade even added some slow notes that reminded her of science class. Her science
teacher gave some really boring lectures sometimes. She wouldn't tell anyone about that
addition!
30 Just an hour later, Jade had finished the piece. She couldn't wait to show Mr. Lopez.
She knew in her heart that her music truly captured the spirit of the school.

Questions 2+29 are about the following passage.

During the rapid growth of the film industry in the early twentieth century about thirty
new films were shown week in the United States. Since most filming occurred
i outdoors to benefit fromevery
daylight, producers found it difñcult to make enough new films
t¡ne irt the cold winters of New York and Chicago, where the induss had originally located
s to take advantage of the availability of trained theatrical labor. As early as 1907,
companies such as Seliq Polvscope began to send production groups to warmer climates
in the winter.

It was soon clear that producers required a new industrial center-one with warm
weather and access to acting talent. Film companies experimented wiü various
ro locations, but the ultimate site of the industry was a small town in California called
Hollywood. Its many attractions included the very type of temperate climate required for
year-round production-an average of 320 days per year were sunny. Scenes of the
interiors of rooms could be shot outdoors if cotton sheets were placed overhead to soften
shadows. It also offered a wide range of scenery nearby, including mountains, valleys,
lakes, islands, woodlands, seacoast, and desert-all of it useful as settings for films.

Questions 30-35 are about the following passage.

A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon completely blocks sunlight as it passes
,: between Earth and the Sun. The very beginning of a solar eclipse, known as the fust
contact, is when the edge of the Moon first becomes úisible as it begins to block the
¿¡n¿ Sun's disk. As time passes, more and more of the Sun is covered by the Moon. In the
s few minutes before the Sun becomes completely hidden behind the Moon, the s§
darkens, some flowers close up, and all types of wildlife, especially birds, behave as if it
is night. Because the only light that reaches Earth must come from the edge of the Sun's
disk, the s§ and landscape take on strange colors.

Once the bright disk of the Sun becomes completely hidden behind the Moon, the
/0 corona can be seen. The corona is the Sun's outer atmosphere, consisting of gases that
extend for millions of miles in all directions from the'surface of the Sun. It is ordinarily
not visible, because the light of the corona is very weak compared with that coming
from the rest of the Sun. During a total eclipse, the corona is seen as a white circle
around the edges of the Moon. The s§ is quite dark, but the brighter planets are visible,
and sometimes the brighter stars are as well.

Questions 3G42 are about the following

passage'

Origami is an ancient form of art. In origami, square pieces of paper are carefully
folded into different figures, such as flowers and animals' People who fold origami
do
is made
not use glue, wires, or-scissors. They do not even use pencils to draw' Origami
Line or/r! bY folding PaPer!
s The name "origini" is a combination of Japanese words' "Ori" means "folding" and
"kami" means "p-aper." These days the name origami is used to deñne the art of folding
paper in many diffirent cultures. Countries such as China, Spain, and Japan all have
old
traditions of paper folding.
Japanese paper folding is ttre most celebrated and famous type throughout
the world'
¡o Since at least it t60Ot,it e Japanese have practiced origami' Today, in Japan' people
"
still believe that a thousand origami cranes will bring good health' so every child learns
to fold paper into the shape of a crane bird. However, since origami is such an old art'
,o.n" p"opte may wondei if there are any new ways left to fold a square piece of paper'
After all, peoplehave invented patterns and folded paper for hundreds of years' Plus' the
rs most popular patterns of long ago continue to be used by people today'
In fact, the ancient art of origami is still changing and expanding' What still fascinates
people about origami is the fact üat it can transform from a flat piece of paper into a
real-üfe three-dimensional object, and then unfold back to its original shape' This
feature, which was only practiced by artists in the past, is now being applied by
zo scientists to solve some complex problems.
For example, this special feature of origami can help power satellites in space'
Satellites, like every óther machine, need energy to function, br¡t it is very costly to send
batteries or fuel to space. So scientists thought of using solar panels instead, because
they can power the satellites using only the energy of the Sun. Scientists are trying to
zs build these solar panels in the shape of an origami flower so they can be folded into a
smaller shape, pui inside a small rocket, and sent to space. Once in space, the panels can
unfold back to their original shape and start powering the satellites'
These days, computers are used to calculate the types and number of folds needed to
make complicated objects such as the solar panels. Some origami patterns require more
.¡o than nine hundred folds. It would be difficult to make such intricate patterns without the
help of a computer!
