Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
Mary Ross was born on August 9, 1908, in the state of Oklahoma. Her work is considered critical to the early stages of the age of space travel.
Ross showed special abilities in math and science from an early age. As a student, she developed an interest in aviation, the practice of flying aircraft. She went on to earn a master's degree in mathematics from Colorado State Teachers College -- now called the University of Northern Colorado.
During World War II, Ross began working for the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation as a mathematician. There, she was urged to complete work in aircraft engineering. She earned a special certification in the field from the University of California - Los Angeles in 1949.
Ross was later chosen to join Lockheed's top-secret Skunk Works team that worked on aircraft designs. The name refers to a group that is permitted to work independently on advanced projects. She was the only female engineer among the team's 40 members.
Early on, she researched defense systems. By the late 1950s, her work centered on satellites and a series of space rockets called Agenda. The rockets were extremely important in the 1960s during the Apollo moon program.
Ross retired from Lockheed in 1973. But she continued to give talks at high schools and colleges to encourage more women and Native Americans to study engineering.

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
Millions of years ago, many large, strange-looking sea creatures lived in what is now the South Atlantic Ocean. Scientists say the continents of South America and Africa separated millions of years ago. As this happened, they say, many kinds of dangerous animals and other life forms settled in the newly formed body of water off the coast of Angola.
Today, scientists are studying ancient animal remains discovered on the Angolan coast. They knew there would be remains in the area, but \
Jacobs and a team of scientists and students helped prepare the remains to be shown at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. He said visitors to the museum can see the similarity between the ancient and modern ocean environment and animals.
Michael Polcyn, another researcher, says one ancient fish-eating animal had a long nose and teeth similar to that of a dolphin. He notes that visitors can see the remains of large, fierce animals, as well as gentler creatures like an ancient giant sea turtle.
\animals that were living together in one place.\
Scientists say a large rock from space hit the earth millions of years ago and killed most of the animals. Questions:
14. Where are scientists studying the ancient animal remains? 15. What does Jacobs do?
16. Why could scientists find so many ancient animal remains?
Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation. W: Good morning, sir. May I come in?
M: Good morning. Yes, please. Take a seat. I guess you want to open an account, right? W: Yes.
M: Great! What account do you want to open, a checking account or a savings account? W: I would like to open a savings account in your bank. What is the procedure? M: Would you like to open an account in a single name or in joint names? W: I would like to open a joint account with my father.
M: In that case both of you have to present identification papers and a set of two photographs each. W: Would it be alright if I brought a photocopy of my driving license?
M: Yes, that would be fine. In fact, photocopies of your voter’s card electricity bill, or driving license are accepted.
W: Is that all that is required?
M: Just one more requirement. We need an introduction by an account holder of our bank.
W: Fine I’ll get that. Just two more clarifications, please. What is the minimum bank balance needed for
