TEAS 7 READING PRACTICE TEST
QUESTIONS
o Please read the text below and answer the following question.
A global temperature change of a few degrees is more significant than it may seem at first glance. This is
not merely a change in weather in any one location. Rather, it is an average change in temperatures
around the entire surface of the planet. It takes a vast amount of heat energy to warm every part of our
world-including oceans, air, and land-by even a tiny measurable amount. Moreover, relatively small
changes in the earth's surface temperatures have historically caused enormous changes in climate. In
the last ice age 20,000 years ago, when much of the northern hemisphere was buried under huge sheets
of ice, mean global temperatures were only about five degrees Celsius lower than they are now.
Scientists predict a temperature rise of two to six degrees Celsius by 2100. What if this causes similarly
drastic changes to the world we call home?
Which se - a. A global temperature change of a few degrees is more significant than it may seem at first
glance.

Read the passage below and answer the following question.
, Publishers typically pay male authors slightly higher advances than female authors. They also price men's
books higher, which results in higher royalty payments for male creators. Male authors are more likely
than female authors to win literary awards, receive speaking invitations, and gain attention from major
reviewers, all of which drive sales.
Which phrase best describes the topic of the group of sentences above?
a. An analysis of literary award winners.
b. Gender differences in author income.
c. A description of a book reviewer's day.
d. Resources for increasing author income. - b. Gender differences in author income.
