Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
David had been talking too much in class, so his teacher gave him an unusual punishment: he had to clean the school library alone after school, until six o'clock. By five, most students had already left, and the building had gone completely quiet.
As the sky outside grew darker, David swept slowly between the shelves, and he felt more uneasy with every passing minute. The old grandfather clock in the corner ticked loudly, and its glass door reflected a shifting shadow every time David moved past it.
Then, through the library's glass door, David spotted a dark shape that was moving slowly outside. He froze, and he gripped his broom tightly. The shadow grew larger, until the door creaked open.
"David? Still here?" a familiar voice asked.
It was Mr. Delgado, the school janitor, and he was holding a mop and bucket. "Sorry if I scared you — I was just finishing up the hallway floors," he said with a chuckle. "That clock's reflection gets pretty spooky in the evening light, huh?"
David laughed nervously because he felt relieved. "You have no idea," he said. "I thought the library was haunted!"
From that day on, David never talked too much in class again.
Why does the author describe the clock's shadow in such detail?
Based on the passage, why was David alone in the library?
He wanted to read alone after school.
He was locked inside by accident.
He was being punished for talking in class.
He was helping Mr. Delgado with chores.
What can be inferred about David's behavior after this experience?
Read the notice. Then answer the questions.
Attention All Oakridge Middle School Students,
Starting next Monday, the after-school computer lab will move from the ground floor to Room 204 on the second floor. In addition, students who wish to use the computers between 3:30 PM and 5:00 PM must reserve a seat online at least one day in advance through the school portal.
This updated arrangement comes after staff members noticed that the old room frequently became overcrowded and noisy, making it difficult for students to complete their academic assignments. The new room is larger and will be supervised daily by Mr. Harris, who can assist with research projects.
Please remember that playing online games and watching personal videos are strictly prohibited during these study hours. We appreciate your cooperation in maintaining a productive learning space for everyone. For questions regarding the online reservation system, please visit the front office during break times.
What is the main purpose of this notice?
To inform students about changes to computer lab access
To announce that Mr. Harris is leaving the tech department
To remind students to pay their annual school technology fees
To invite students to join a new after-school gaming club
What can be inferred about the computer lab in the past?
It required students to reserve seats one week in advance.
It lacked internet connection for completing research work.
It was often too noisy and prevented effective studying.
It was located on the second floor right next to Room 204.
Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
When you think of a volcano, you probably imagine hot, melted rock exploding from the ground. But far out in our solar system, some moons have a very different kind of volcano — one that erupts ice instead of fire.
Scientists call this a cryovolcano, or ice volcano. Instead of hot lava, a cryovolcano shoots out a freezing mixture of water, ammonia, and other gases. This happens on icy moons like Enceladus, which orbits Saturn, and Triton, which orbits Neptune.
On Enceladus, powerful jets of icy material burst out from cracks near the south pole. In 2005, NASA's Cassini spacecraft photographed these icy plumes shooting into space for the first time. A few years later, in 2008, it flew directly through one of the plumes to study the material up close. Scientists believe the moon's interior stays warm because of Saturn's strong gravity, which stretches and squeezes Enceladus, creating heat.
Triton has similar eruptions, sending dark plumes of gas and ice high above its frozen surface.
These frozen eruptions help scientists understand what might be hiding beneath the icy crusts of these distant worlds — and even raise an exciting question: could liquid water inside these moons support life?
What does a cryovolcano erupt instead of hot lava?
What did the Cassini spacecraft do in 2008?
What is this passage mainly about?
Why does Saturn's gravity cause heat inside Enceladus?
In paragraph 3, the word "burst" is closest in meaning to _____.
Write a paragraph (about 100 words) about the first time you cooked a meal or baked something.
