PASSAGE ONE (Questions 1—11)

Narcolepsy is a disease characterized by malfunctioning sleep mechanics It can consist of a

sudden and uncontrollable bout of sleep during daylight hours and disturbed sleep during nighttime

hours It occurs more often in men than in women, and it commonly makes its appearance during

adolescence or young adulthood At least a half million Americans are believed to be affected by

narcolepsy

Narcolepsy can take a number of forms during daylight hours EZ] One common symptom of the

disease during daytime hours is a sudden attack of REM (rapid-eye movement) sleep during normal

waking hours EZ] This occurs in some people hundreds of times in a single day, while others only have

rare occurrences fg During a sleep attack, narcoleptics may experience automatic behavior; even

though asleep, they may continue automatically performing the activity they were involved in prior to

falling asleep EJ Others experience cataplexy during daytime hours; cataplexy involves a sudden loss

of muscle tone that may cause the head to droop or the knees to wobble in minor attacks or a total

collapse in more serious attacks [J Cataplexy seems to occur most often in conjunction with intense

emotion or excitement

During sleep hours, narcolepsy can also manifest itself in a variety of ways During the

transitional phase that precedes the onset of sleep, it is common for hallucinations to occur These

hallucinations, known as hypnagogic phenomena, consist of realistic perceptions of sights and

sounds during the semi-conscious state between wakefulness and sleep Narcoleptics may also suffer

from night wakening during sleep, resulting in extremely fragmented and restless sleep Then, upon

waking, a narcoleptic may experience sleep paralysis, the inability to move, perhaps for several

minutes, immediately after waking

What is commonly called pepper in reality comes from two very different families of plants

Black and white pepper both come from the fruit of the Piper nigrum, a vine with fruits called

peppercorns The peppercorns turn from green to red as they ripen and finally blacken as they dry

out The dried-out peppercorns are ground to obtain black pepper White pepper, which has a more

subtle flavor than black pepper, comes from the same peppercorns as black pepper; to obtain white

pepper, the outer hull of the peppercorn, the pericarp, is removed before the peppercorn is ground

Red and green peppers, on the other hand, come from a completely different family from

black and white pepper Red and green peppers are from the genus Capsicum Plants of this

type generally have tiny white flowers and fruit which can be any one of a number of colors, shapes,

and sizes These peppers range in flavor from very mild and sweet to the most incredibly burning

taste imaginable

Christopher Columbus is responsible for the present-day confusion over what a pepper is The

Piper nigrum variety of pepper was highly valued for centuries, and high demand for pepper by

Europeans was a major cause of the fifteenth-century push to locate ocean routes to the spice-

growing regions of Asia When Columbus arrived in the New World in 1492, he was particularly

interested in finding black pepper because of the high price that it would command in Europe

Columbus came across plants from the Capsicum family in use among the people of the New World,

and he incorrectly identified them as relatives of black pepper Columbus introduced the spicy

Capsicum chili peppers to Europeans on his return from the 1492 voyage, and traders later spread

them to Asia and Africa These Capsicum peppers have continued to be called peppers in spite of the

fact that they are not related to the black and white pepper of the Piper nigrum family

The purpose of this passage is to 15

C> explain why there is confusion today

over peppers C> provide the scientific classification of

various types of peppers C> demonstrate that it was Columbus

who brought peppers to Europe

C> classify the variety of sizes, shapes,

and colors of peppers

Look at the word turn in paragraph 1 This

word could best be replaced by

Cc) revert

C Ð5 exchange

C Ð veer

According to the passage, both black and

white peppers

C> come from different plants

C> change colors after they are ground

C Ð are ground from dried out

peppercorns

What part of the Piper nigrum is the pericarp?

C> The seed inside the fruit
