The answer lay in a resource that unknowing Americans lands trampled underfoot in their haste to cross the “Great American Desert” to reach lands that sometimes proved barren In the eastern parts of the United States, the preferred grass for forage was a cultivated plant It grew well with enough rain, then when cut and stored it would cure and become nourishing hay for winter feed But in the dry grazing lands of the West that familiar bluejoint grass was often killed by drought To raise cattle out there seemed risky or even hopeless Who could imagine a fairy-tale grass that required no rain and somehow made it possible for cattle to feed themselves all winter? But the surprising western wild grasses did just that They had wonderfully convenient features that made them superior to the cultivated eastern grasses Variously known as buffalo grass, grama grass, or mesquite grass, not only were they immune to drought; but they were actually preserved by the lack of summer and autumn rains They were not juicy like the cultivated eastern grasses, but had short, hard stems And they did not need to be cured in a barn, but dried right where they grew on the ground When they dried in this way, they remained naturally sweet and nourishing through the winter Cattle left outdoors to fend for themselves thrived on this hay And the cattle themselves helped plant the fresh grass year after year for they trampled the natural seeds firmly into the soil to be watered by the melting snows of winter and the occasional rains of spring The dry summer air cured them much as storing in a barn cured the cultivated grasses What does the passage mainly discuss? A A type of wild vegetation B Western migration after Civil War C The raising of cattle D The climate of the Western United States What can be inferred by the phrase “Legend has it” in line 1? A Most history book include the story of the train B The story of the train is similar to other ones from that time period C The driver of the train invented the story D The story of the train may not be completed factual The word “they” in line refers to _ A plains B skeletons C oxen D Americans What can be inferred about the “Great American Desert” mentioned in line 6? A Many had settled there by the 1860’s B It was not originally assumed to be a fertile area C It was a popular place to raise cattle before the Civil War D It was not discovered until the late 1800’s The word “barren” in line is closed in meaning to _ A lonely B uncomfortable C infertile D dangerous The word “preferred” in line is closed in meaning to _ A favored B available C ordinary D required Which of the following can be inferred about the cultivated grass mentioned in the second paragraph? A Cattle raised in the Western United States refused to eat it B It had to be imported into the United States C It would probably not grow in the western United States D It was difficult for cattle to digest Which of the following was NOT one of the names given to the western grasses? A Mesquite grass B Bluejoint grass C Buffalo grass D Grama grass Which of the following was NOT mentioned as a characteristic of western grasses? A They contain little moisture B They have tough stems C They can be grown indoors D They are not affected by dry weather 10 According to the passage, the cattle help promote the growth of the wild grass by _ A eating only small quantities of grass B continually moving from one grazing area to another C naturally fertilizing the soil D stepping on and pressing the seeds into the ground Part Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to complete the following passage by circling the corresponding letter A, B, C or D FUN AND GAMES Do you think computer games are just for kids?
