42.         In the sixteenth century, an age of great marine and terrestrial exploration, Ferdinand
Magellan led the first expedition to sail around the world.  As a young Portuguese noble, he
served the king of Portugal, but he became involved in the quagmire of political intrigue at court
and lost the king’s favor.  After he was dismissed from service to the king of Portugal, he offered
to serve the future Emperor Charles V of Spain.
A papal decree of 1493 had assigned all land in the New World west of 50 degrees W longitude to
Spain and all the land east of that line to Portugal.  Magellan offered to prove that the East
Indies fell under Spanish authority.  On September 20, 1519, Magellan set sail from Spain with
five ships.  More than a year later, one of these ships was exploring the topography of South
America in search of a water route across the continent.  This ship sank, but the remaining four
ships searched along the southern peninsula of South America.  Finally they found the passage
they sought near a latitude of 50 degrees S. Magellan named this passage the Strait of All
Saints, but today we know it as the Strait of Magellan.
One ship deserted while in this passage and returned to Spain, so fewer sailors were privileged
to gaze at that first panorama of the Pacific Ocean.  Those who remained crossed the meridian
we now call the International Date Line in the early spring of 1521 after ninety-eight days on the
Pacific Ocean.  During those long days at sea, many of Magellan’s men died of starvation and
disease.
Later Magellan became involved in an insular conflict in the Philippines and was killed in a tribal
battle.  Only one ship and seventeen sailors under the command of the Basque navigator Elcano
survived to complete the westward journey to Spain and thus prove once and for all that the
world is round, with no precipice at the edge.The sixteenth century was an age of great
___exploration.

  1. cosmic        
  2. mental       C. common man         D. None of the above

49.  Marie Curie was one of the most accomplished scientists in history.  Together with her husband, Pierre, she
discovered radium, an element widely used for treating cancer, and studied uranium and other radioactive
substances.  Pierre and Marie’s amicable collaboration later helped to unlock the secrets of the atom.
Marie was born in 1867 in Warsaw, Poland, where her father was a professor of physics. At the early age, she
displayed a brilliant mind and a blithe personality.  Her great exuberance for learning prompted her to continue with
her studies after high school.  She became disgruntled, however, when she learned that the university in Warsaw was
closed to women. Determined to receive a higher education, she defiantly left Poland and in 1891 entered the
Sorbonne, a French university, where she earned her master’s degree and doctorate in physics.  
Marie was fortunate to have studied at the Sorbonne with some of the greatest scientists of her day, one of whom
was Pierre Curie.  Marie and Pierre were married in 1895 and spent many productive years working together in the
physics laboratory.  A short time after they discovered radium, Pierre was killed by a horse-drawn wagon in 1906.  
Marie was stunned by this horrible misfortune and endured heartbreaking anguish. Despondently she recalled their
close relationship and the joy that they had shared in scientific research.  The fact that she had two young daughters
to raise by herself greatly increased her distress.
Curie’s feeling of desolation finally began to fade when she was asked to succeed her husband as a physics
professor at the Sorbonne.  She was the first woman to be given a professorship at the world-famous university.  In
1911 she received the Nobel Prize in chemistry for isolating radium.  Although Marie Curie eventually suffered a fatal
illness from her long exposure to radium, she never became disillusioned about her work. Regardless of the
consequences, she had dedicated herself to science and to revealing the mysteries of the physical world.
The Curies’ ____ collaboration helped to unlock the secrets of the atom.

  1. friendly
  2. competitive
  3. courteous
  4. industrious
  5. chemistry

In American cities after the Industrialization Age began, it was not unusual to see children huddled together without
shoes, warm clothing, shelter, or decent food. These children illustrated what unhappy effect of Industrialization in the
United States?    

  1. Because the focus was on manufacturing, not enough shoes were made
  2. Because of low wages, many people lived in poverty
  3. Because of protective employment laws, child laborers could no longer be employed
  4. Because of the freedom women experienced in the workplace, many abandoned their children
  5. Because parents work days were guided by strict rules, they were often strict at home.  As a result, their
    children ran away and lived on the streets.

In 1949, a study of heart disease included 5,137 adults: 2,292 men and 2,845 women. All the individuals were 49 to
70 years of age, and none showed any signs of coronary artery disease. After 14-16 years of careful follow-up, it was
found that:
I.151 men and 37 women showed evidence of coronary artery disease that would account for a heart attack.
II.102 men and 18 women died of coronary artery disease before they reached the age of 65.
III.5  8 percent of the men and 39 percent of the women died within one hour of having a heart attack.
IV.For both men and women, sudden death was more likely if they were under age 55 at the time of the attack.
V.       Not all heart attacks produce symptoms. A considerable number of men and women had a myocardial
infarction (heart muscle damage) without knowing it. Of those who suffered such "silent coronaries," 22 percent of the
men and 35 percent of the women did not know muscle damage had occurred.  The design of this study, the
researchers made sure,

  1. some individuals had coronary artery disease
  2. some individuals were in their thirties
  3. the number of men and women was equal
  4. all participants were adults

In 1949, a study of heart disease included 5,137 adults: 2,292 men and 2,845 women. All the individuals were 49 to
70 years of age, and none showed any signs of coronary artery disease. After 14-16 years of careful follow-up, it was
found that:
I. 151 men and 37 women showed evidence of coronary artery disease that would account for a heart attack.
II. 1 02 men and 18 women died of coronary artery disease before they reached the age of 65.
III. 58 percent of the men and 39 percent of the women died within one hour of having a heart attack.
IV.   For both men and women, sudden death was more likely if they were under age 55 at the time of the attack.
V. Not all heart attacks produce symptoms. A considerable number of men and women had a myocardial infarction
(heart muscle damage) without knowing it. Of those who suffered such "silent coronaries," 22 percent of the men and
35 percent of the women did not know muscle damage had occurred.

As explained in the study, a person who has a "silent coronary"    

  1. is unaware of any heart attack symptoms
  2. does not scream in pain while having a heart attack
  3. shows no evidence of heart muscle damage
  4. always dies of a myocardial infarction

In 1949, a study of heart disease included 5,137 adults: 2,292 men and 2,845 women. All the individuals were 49 to
70 years of age, and none showed any signs of coronary artery disease. After 14-16 years of careful follow-up, it was
found that:
I. 151 men and 37 women showed evidence of coronary artery disease that would account for a heart attack.
II. 1  02 men and 18 women died of coronary artery disease before they reached the age of 65.
III. 58 percent of the men and 39 percent of the women died within one hour of having a heart attack.
IV.  For both men and women, sudden death was more likely if they were under age 55 at the time of the attack.
V. Not all heart attacks produce symptoms. A considerable number of men and women had a myocardial infarction
(heart muscle damage) without knowing it. Of those who suffered such "silent coronaries," 22 percent of the men and
35 percent of the women did not know muscle damage had occurred.

Which conclusion is consistent with the results of the study?


  1. Chances of death within one hour of a heart attack are greater for women than men.
  2. Chances of death from coronary artery disease are less for men than women.
  3. Evidence of coronary artery disease is equal among men and women.
  4.   Sudden death is more likely for both men and women if they
  5. are under age 55 at the time of death.

A group of 1000 men and 1200 women between the ages of 50 and 65 are to be studied for coronary artery disease.
Based on the original study, which of the following results could be predicted most reliably?   

  1. Eight (8) women will die of coronary heart disease after they reach age 65.
  2. Sixteen (16) women will show significant evidence of coronary artery disease.
  3. Forty-four (44) men will die of coronary artery disease after they reach age 65.
  4. Sixty-five (65) men will show no significant evidence of coronary artery disease

A chemistry student placed a strip of blue litmus paper and a strip of pink litmus paper in a glass dish. Then she
added a drop of dilute sulfuric acid to each strip of litmus paper. She observed that the blue litmus paper turned pink,
but the pink litmus paper did not change color. Next she placed a drop of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) on other strips of
blue and pink litmus paper. This time, the pink litmus
paper turned blue, but the blue litmus paper did not change. Finally, she put a drop of distilled water on strips of blue
and pink litmus paper. Neither strip changed color. She repeated the tests several times with the same results. The
student concluded that acids turn blue litmus paper pink; bases, such as sodium hydroxide, turn pink litmus paper
blue. As water did not affect either pink or blue litmus paper, she reasoned that water was not an acid or a base, but
a neutral substance.
Keeping these results in mind, the student poured a little sodium hydroxide into a beaker containing pink and blue
litmus paper. Then she added hydrochloric acid (HCl) drop by drop until the solution became neutral. She determined
that a new, neutral substance had formed in the beaker. The substance was table salt, or sodium chloride (NaCl),
which is one of many salts formed from an acid and a base.

If a drop of an unknown substance turns blue litmus paper pink, but does not change pink litmus paper, the
substance is a(n)


  1. acid
  2. base
  3. water
  4. salt

The complex behavior of the poor-sighted, three-spined male stickleback fish has been studied extensively as a
model of species behavior in courtship and mating. After a male has migrated to a suitable spot, he builds a spawning
nest of sand and sediment. In courting, he performs a special "zigzag" dance. The female then follows the male to the
nest where she spawns and he fertilizes the spawned eggs. Also, male sticklebacks have been shown to exhibit
territorial behaviors. A biologist performed three experiments to learn more about the behavior of the stickleback.
Experiment 1
Tank 1 and Tank 2 are set up with identical conditions and one male stickleback is placed in each tank. Both fish
build nests in their respective tanks. The male from Tank 1 is removed from his tank and is replaced with an egg-
laden female; the male from Tank 2 is removed from his tank and is introduced into Tank 1. In Tank 1, the male does
not perform the zigzag dance and no spawning occurs. The male retreats to a corner of the tank.
Experiment 2
A male stickle back in an aquarium builds his nest. A fat, round male is introduced into the environment. The original
male performs the zigzag dance and attempts to lead the round male to the nest. The round male refuses and begins
to flap his fins and swim in circles. The first male then begins to flap his fins, circle his nest, and occasionally prod the
other fish to a far corner of the tank.
Experiment 3
A small, flat-shaped female is introduced into a tank where a male has built a nest. The male circles the female a few
times, and then retreats to a corner of the tank.
The experimental data would support the hypothesis that the purpose of the male stickleback's mating dance is to:


  1. keep away other male sticklebacks.
  2. fertilize the eggs.
  3. lure and entice the female to the nest
  4. establish territorial rights.

Supply and demand are two important factors that influence the
market.  Supply means the amount of a specific product or
service available.  Demand refers to the amount of that product or
service consumers want to purchase.  Both of these factors
influence the price of goods.  For example, if there is a large
supply of a product which few people want to buy, the price of that
product will go down. As the price goes down, demand usually
increases.  Eventually, a balance between the two factors is
reached and the optimal price for that product or service is
determined.  At that point, the supply and demand have reached
equilibrium.
Why does demand only “usually” go up when the price is lowered?


  1. Demand always increases on its own
  2. The supply is often decreased instead
  3. Price may not be the only factor causing low demand
  4. People want to pay more for products, not less
  5. The system is only based on speculation so nothing is
    certain

In the United States, individuals who are suspected of
criminal behavior are considered innocent until they are
proven guilty.  All citizens have the right to due process
which means they are entitled to a fair trial before a jury of
their peers. In addition, they have a right to a lawyer who will
help them support their case. Because the suspect is
considered innocent until judged otherwise, the prosecution
has the burden of proof.  Even after a verdict is made on
the case, both sides can appeal to a higher court to
reconsider the decision.  All of these steps are in place to
protect the safety and liberty of all Americans.
