Scientists generally agree that Earth is getting warmer due to what’s called the
greenhouse effect. A greenhouse used for plants stays warm because sunlight and
heat coming through the glass roof are mostly trapped. The heat doesn’t radiate
back into the atmosphere because it’s partly trapped by the glass. Something like
that happens on Earth. The atmosphere acts like a blanket that keeps the Sun’s
heat from leaking away into space.

Questions 13 and 14 are based on this passage.
Both Seagulls and wild geese are large birds. They’re also similar in that both kinds
of birds can fly over great distances. On the other hand, seagulls are scavengers,
while wild geese aren’t. Seagulls, for example, are often found around garbage
dumps. Geese, however, feed on things like seeds and insects. Another important
difference between the two kinds of birds is that geese fly on long annual migrations
of well over 1,000 miles. Seagulls will migrate far inland to search for food. However,
they don’t follow seasonal patterns of migration like wild geese.

Questions 16 and 17 are based on this passage.
I was in the National Forest with my camera. The day was crisp, and the leaves
were turning gold and red. When I spotted the white-tailed buck, I froze. He wasn’t
more than 15 yards from where I was standing. The wind must have been right,
because he kept on browsing the mossy ground. I lifted my camera very slowly.
Carefully, holding my breath, I lifted the camera to my eye. Turning the focus ring,
I framed the deer’s head. Just as I was ready to press the shutter release, the
buck raised his head. He was looking my way with wide eyes. Click. I took the
picture. An instant later, the deer bounded away into the forest. He took off, but
I had the shot. Today, the framed photo of that buck hangs above our fireplace.
