Her parents were puzzled by this. The daughters of their friends were announcing their engagements in the Times, and those who joined the Peace Corps or had gone to graduate school were filed under the heading of "Useful Service," as if they had entered convents or dedicated themselves to the poor. Elizabeth further puzzled her parents by refusing to take a cent of their money, although her mother knew the truth: what you dole out to the young binds them to you. To have Elizabeth owing nothing was disconcerting, to say the least.9.The narrator mentions the daughters of Elizabeth's parents' friends in line 3 primarily to(A) criticize a bahavior(B) praise an activity(C) explain a reaction(D) note a transformation(E) advocate an action10.The passage suggests that Elizbeth's parents found which quality to be "disconcerting" (line 11) in their daughter?(A)Magnanimity(B)Independence(C)frugality(D)Lack of ambition(E)Unwillingness to take risksPassage 2Some critics believe that the frequent use of repetition in Native American ceremonial texts was a result of the oral nature and helped make the works easy to remember. Native American scholar Paula Gunn Allen argues that this factor must be peripheral, however, because people in societies without writing traditionally have had more finely developed memories than do people who use writing Native American children learned early to remember complicated instructions and long stories by heart. For a person who couldn't run to a bookshelf to look up information, reliance on memory became very important in everyday life. Such a highly developed everyday memory is not likely to fail on ceremonial occasions.11.The primary purpose of the passage is to(A)refute a cllaim(B)Describe a process(C)analyze a discovery(D)Advocate a practice(E)Reveal a problem12.In context, what does the final sentence suggest about Native American ceremonial texts?(A)Understanding them requires a highly developed memory(B)Their inclusion of complicated and detailed material is traditional(C)They are not always oral in nature, nor are they always repetitive(D)They are important in the everyday lives of many Native Americans(E)Their use of repetition cannot be explained as an aid to memorizationquestions 13-15 are based on the following passagethis passage is adapted from a 2003 novel about a character named Gogol Ganguli ,the American-born of Indian immigrants, Just before leaving home for college ,Gogol changed his name to Nikhil.When he is alone in his dorm room, he types out a written request ,notifying the registrar’s office of his name change ,providing examples of his former and current signatures side by side ,he gives these documents5 to a secretary ,along with a copy of the change-of-name change ;he tells the person in charge of processing his student ID and his library card. He corrects the name in stealth, not bothering to explain to Jonathan and Brandon,10his new roommates, what he’s so busy doing all day, and then suddenly it is over .After so much work it is no work at all .By the time the upperclassmen arrive and classes begin, he’s paved the way for a whole university to call him15girls at parties. Nikhil registers for his first four classes: Introduction to the History of Art, Medieval History ,a semester of Spanish, Astronomy to fulfill his hard science requirement .At the last minute he registers for a drawing class in the evenings .He doesn’t tel l his parents about the 20 drawing class ,something they would consider frivolous at this stage of his life ,in spite of the fact that his own grandfather was an artist. They are already distressed that he hasn’t settled on a major and a profession .His parents expect him to be,if not an engineer,then a doctor,a25 lawyer,an economist at the very least.These were the fields that brought them to America,hisfather repeatedly reminds him,the professions that have earned them security and respect.But now th at he’s Nikhil it’s easier to ignore his30parents,to tune out their concerns and pleas.With relief,he types his name at the tops of his freshman papers.He reads the telephone messages his roommates leave for checking account,writes his new name into course books.35”Me llamo Nikhil,”he says in his Spanish class.It is as Nikhil ,that first cemester,that he grows a goatee and discover musicians like Brian Eno and Elvis Costello and Charlie Parker.it is as Nikhil that he takes the train into Manhattan with Jonathan.It is as Nikhil that he40 introduces himself to people he meets.There is only one complication: he doesn’t feel like Nikhil. Not yet. Part of the problem is that the people who know him as Nikhil have no idea that he used to be Gogol. They know him only in the present, not at all in the past.45 But after eighteen years of Gogol, two months of Nikhil feel scant, inconsequential. At times he feels as if he’s cast himself in a play, acting the part of twins, indistinguishable to the naked eye yet fundamentally different. At times he still feels his old name, painfully and without warning, 50 the way his front tooth had unbearably throbbed in recent weeks after a filling. He fears being discovered, having the whole charade somehow unravel, and in nightmares his files are exposed, his original name printed on the front page of the student newspaper. Once, he signs his55old name by mistake on a credit card slip at the college bookstore. Occasionally he has to hear” Nikhil” three times before he answers.Even more startling is when those who normally called him Gogol refer to him as Nikhil. For example, when his60 parents call on Saturday mornings, if Brandon or Jonathan happens to pick up the phone, they ask if Nikhil is there. Though he has asked his parents to do precisely this, the fact of it troubles him, making him feel in that instant that he is not related to them, not their child. “please come65to our home with Nikhil one weekend”, his mother, Ashima, says to his roommates when she and his father visit campus during parents weekend in October. The substitution sounds wrong to Gogol, correct but off-key, the way it sounds when his parents speak English to him70 instead of Bengali. Stranger still is when one of his parents addresses him, in front of his new friends, as Nikhil directly:” Nikhil, show us the buildings where you have your classes,” his father suggests. Later that evening, out to dinner with Jonethan, Ashima slips, asking, “Gogol,75have you decided yet what your major will be?” Though Jonathan, listening to something his fa ther is saying, doesn’t hear, Gogol feels helpless and annoyed yet unable to blame his mother, caught in the mess he’s made.13. taken as a whole, the passage is best described as a protrayal of(A) two parents’ acceptance of their son’s leaving home(B) an immigrant family’s adjustment to new surroundings(C) the stimulating possibilities open to a college student(D) a yound man’s struggle to define himself(E) a young man’s success at achieving independence14.

While enrolled as a graduate student at the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles, Hernandez met fellow student Carlos Almaraz, one of the founding 1 members of the Chicano artist collective known as “Los Four.” At Almarez’s request, Hernandez joined “Los Four” as its ﬁfth, and only female, member. Hernandez became well known for her work with this revolutionary group of artists, who are credited with 2 authorizing Chicano art as its own distinctive school of (US) American art. 3 Less known but equally important, however, is the role Hernandez played in providing a female voice within what was at that time a predominantly male Chicano art movement. Chicano art began as an outgrowth of the more general Chicano Civil Rights 4 Movement; a sociopolitical initiative that began in the 1960s to promote social progress and change for Mexican-Americans. 5 Chicano artists sought to mirror the challenges faced by Mexican-Americans, often by challenging the xenophobic stereotypes of Mexican-Americans in American culture. However, since the vast majority of Chicano artists were men, much of the Chicano artwork of the 1960s and early 1970s represented the experiences of Mexican-American men, failing to represent some of the unique struggles faced by their female counterparts.6 During her time with “Los Four,” Hernandez developed a distinct visual style as she incorporated indigenous images along with ﬁgurative portrayals of Hispanic women, often restrained by elements such as vines or thorns. Thesigniﬁcance of her contributions to the Chicano art movement 7 were recognized as early as 1981, when Hernandez was commissioned by the Los Angeles Bicentennial Committee to produce a mural in celebration of the city’s 200th anniversary. 8 The mural portrays La Reina de Los Angeles (the patroness of the city) engaging with images of the past and present. In it, Hernandez juxtaposes images of male and female farmers with more opulent depictions of modern Los Angeles, 9 but underscoring the invaluable work of Mexican-American men and women in the construction of the city.Since the 1970s, Hernandez has exhibited additional forms of visual art beyond the mural work that characterized much of her early career. In her recent pastel-on-paper series entitled “Adam and Eve,” Hernandez uses iconic religious images to highlight the 10 unequal, gender relations in Chicano culture. Through works such as these, Hernandez continues to provide a voice for Chicano 11 women.

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s iconic tale of 1920s excess 2 have been taken on by Hollywood four times: in 1926, 1949, 1974, and 2013. None met with widespread critical or popular success. As a novel, The Great Gatsby has become a mainstay of American popular culture, so when readers go to the movies to see Jay Gatsby come to life, their expectations are high. Viewers should keep in mind, though, that adapting a novel into a ﬁlm is more complicated than it seems, and literary ﬁlm adaptations should be evaluated on their own merits.The issue of ﬁdelity is the ﬁrst thing that stands in the way of fairly 3 negotiating a ﬁlm adaptation. Many viewers want to see the literary source portrayed on screen exactly as it was written, especially when the plot and characters are as memorable as 4 that of The Great Gatsby. The 1974 ﬁlm adaptation was recognized for following Fitzgerald’s novel to the 5 letter, however, the movie was also criticized for being lifeless and dull. 6 A ﬁlm is limited to the length of time that the production is allowed to run, and the director must use this time to create an immediate, sensory impact, not a visual retelling of a book.7 Because Fitzgerald had unlimited space in The Great Gatsby to create as many characters, plots, and subplots as he desired, the directors of ﬁlm adaptations have the advantages of theatrical performance, the spoken word, music, sound effects, and photographic images. The director of the most recent ﬁlm adaptation of The Great Gatsby was credited for shaping Fitzgerald’s material to ﬁt his own artistic sensibility and 8 also his own contemporary perspective. Although the inclusion of hip-hop culture and high-end consumerism in this latest ﬁlm surprised some critics and probably some faithful readers of the novel, at least the director 9 made the movie using the tools of his own medium.10 People love movies. This is the hard reality that must be faced when viewing the ﬁlm version of a beloved book. Though it may be difﬁcult, The Great Gatsby must be taken off its literary pedestal before one goes to see its ﬁlmic counterpart. Books are capable of inspiring countless interpretations. Film adaptations deserve the same creative space. 11Academy Award Nominations Breakdown, by Film Type Adapted from Anne Marie, "We Recycle Movies: Some Oscars HistoryWRM Style!" © 2012 by Anne Marie.For these questions, you will consider how the passage might be revised to improve the expression of ideas or to correct the errors in sentence structure, usage, or punctuation.Some questions will direct you to an underlined portion of the passage or a location in the passage.

Which choice best accomplishes this goal?A Whether or not it goes on to win an Academy Award, aﬁlm should be evaluated based primarily on its direction andcinematography.B Filmmakers ultimately have a responsibility not to deviatefrom the original plot of a novel, but beyond that they cantake liberties with details such as setting and characters.C If another Great Gatsby ﬁlm comes out in 25 or 30 years,audiences should judge it based on its own cinematic meritsand not based on its ﬁdelity to Fitzgerald's book.D In the end, books and ﬁlms are not so different, and TheGreat Gatsby has been proving this to movie audiences fordecades.Find more here atAAA studioExercise 3The symbol 1 [Marker for question 1] indicates that question 1 references this portion of the passage.Healthy Outlook for Male NursesThe presence of men in the nursing ﬁeld has a long history reaching back over two thousand years. Men attended the world’s ﬁrst nursing school in India in 250 1 BCE founded a hospital to provide care for the sick during the Black Plague epidemic and cared for wounded soldiers in countless wars throughout history. Yet despite the historical role of men in nursing, men currently comprise less than 10 percent of the nursing population in the United States. While the reasons behind the dearth of men in nursing 2 are numerous, a current rise in the number of men in the nursing ﬁeld bodes well for nurses and patients alike.Although men played a prominent role in the nursing ﬁeld for millennia, shifting gender norms in the late 1800s caused a dramatic drop in the number of men pursuing nursing as a career. Part of this trend was related to the rise of the family medical model in Victorian England. 3 According to this model, the ideal medical team mirrored the patriarchal Victorian family unit, with men (doctors) as the heads of households, women (nurses) as the “handmaidens,” and children (patients) as the dependents. This model dissuaded men from entering the nursing profession, directing them instead to the more socially acceptable role as physicians.In addition to the inﬂuence of the family medical model, the teachings of Florence Nightingale—often hailed as the founder of the modern nursing 4 profession, further discouraged men from entering the nursing ﬁeld. While Nightingale was successful in 5 inﬂating the status of nursing as a respectable profession for women, her axiom that nursing was the ideal profession for women created social and professional barriers for men interested in pursuing 6 nursing jobs as a professional career path for themselves. For example, in the early 20th century, many nursing registries created separate lists for men and women, legally preventing men from practicing in areas such as maternal/child health, obstetrics, and gynecology. 7The tide against men in the nursing ﬁeld began to change directions in the 1970s and 8 1980s. Due in part to a United States Supreme Court decision that held that the women-only admissions policy of the Mississippi University for Women violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Since this decision, the percentage of registered nurses who are men in the United States has increased 9from 2.7 percent in 1970 to 7.6 percent in 2011. This growth is likely to prove beneﬁcial for both the nursing community and the patients they serve. 10With the demand for nursing services projected to surge over the next decade, the time could not be better for the equitable inclusion of men into the nursing workforce. For patients, this will mean a larger and more diverse set of potential caretakers; and for the nurses themselves, this 11 meant stable employment, relatively high wages, and a rewarding career.Percentage of Nurses Who Are Men, 1970-2011Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 1970 Decennial Census, 1980, 1990, and 2000 Equal Employment Tabulation, and 2006 and 2011 AmericanCommunity SurveyFor these questions, you will consider how the passage might be revised to improve the expression of ideas or to correct the errors in sentence structure, usage, or punctuation.Some questions will direct you to an underlined portion of the passage or a location in the passage.

Since primary care providers typically serve as a patient’s ﬁrst point of contact in the health care system, their importance cannot be overstated. However, in 2007, a 1 trivial 5.1percent of graduating medical students had decided to pursue further training in this ﬁeld.2 One of the most promising solutions to our country’s primary care predicament is the evolution of the “hospitalist.” First coined in 1996, the term “hospitalist” refers to physicians who dedicate most of3 there career to the care of acutely ill hospitalized patients. They provide care for patients who require hospital treatment with medicine (rather than surgery). The vast majority of hospitalists are trained in internal medicine or family medicine, though a small percentage also comes from other specialties including pediatrics, psychiatry, and dermatology.4 Because hospitalists generally work twelve-hour shifts for seven days in a row, they provide patients with continuity of care, allowing them to be seen by the same physician for much of their hospital stay. Since they are based in the 5hospital hospitalists can also check-up on each patient multiple times a day, and they can coordinate care from specialists and ancillary departments such as 6 the physical and occupational therapy department, and the social services department, and the nursing care management department. From the hospital’s perspective, hospitalists are also generally associated with modest cost savings since hospitalists coordinate among multiple departments and, as a result, 7 being well-positioned to effectively allocate hospital resources.The rapid growth of hospitalist medicine in recent years suggests that hospitalists are here to stay. 8 While many healthcare providers and recipients laud this growth, there are still a number of outstanding issues that need to be addressed. For example, experts still do not know what long-term impacts the hospitalist movement will have on the general internist and family medicine 9 workforce? If more internists and family medicine doctors decide to become hospitalists, what will happen to the availability of these doctors for the outpatient population? 10 In addition, if hospitalists are to become full members of academic medical centers, they will likely need to incorporate a number of additional skills into their training, particularly research skills.While the precise trajectory of the hospitalist movement is still unclear, this new ﬁeld of medicine has immense potential to ﬁll many of the current gaps in our healthcare system. 11 Number of Hospitalists in the United States, 2006-2009 (Estimated)Source: Data from Society of Hospital MedicineFor these questions, you will consider how the passage might be revised to improve the expression of ideas or to correct the errors in sentence structure, usage, or punctuation.Some questions will direct you to an underlined portion of the passage or a location in the passage.

Arthur ruled the kingdom of Camelot, and Guinevere was his queen. But were they real people or fictional characters The debate has continued for centuries. Though many scholars have found evidence that the legendary Arthur was, at the very least, based on a real person who lived in Britain roughly between 450 and （1） 500 CE. They continue to search for the historical identity of Guinevere. Guinevere first appeared as King Arthur’s queen in one of the most widelystudied works of Arthurian literature, （2）The History of the Kings of Britain. This book was written by Geoffrey of Monmouth around 1135 CE. Geoffrey’s historical treatment of the legend is often（3）sited as evidence that the queen of Camelot existed, as the book chronicles the lives of a number of historical rulers.*God help those who help themselves.

(4)In Malory’s portrayal, Guinevere had no real power as a monarch but served as a kind of spiritual leader, providing guidance and moral support to the knights in their roles as defenders of the kingdom. Le Morte d’Arthur was also one of the first works to reference Guinevere’s romance with the knight, Sir many Arth urian scholars know, the distinction between history and literature was blurred in the Middle Ages. Consequently, the true identity of Guinevere may never be known with certainty. Yet regardless of whether Guinevere was real or fictional, her story (5) had endured centuries—and through each retelling, she continues to live on in the imaginations of people around the world.4At this point, the author wants to add a sentence which effectively sets up the portrayal of Guinevere discussed in the rest of the paragraph. Which choice best accomplishes this goalA) Three centuries later, however, Thomas Malory painted a very different portrait of Guinevere in Le Morte d’Arthur.B) Sir Thomas Malory was an English knight and Member of Parliament who also wrote extensively about the history of the British monarchy.C) Many historians believe that the portrayal of Arthur and Guinevere in Sir Thomas Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur was actually a political commentary on the War of the Roses (1455-1487CE).D) In Le Morte d’Art hur, Sir Thomas Malory describes an idyllic England under King Arthur and Guinevere, which eventually collapses into chaos and political unrest.

I’d p luck ticks out of my hair later and scratch red bumps. I hoped it was worth it.“How much longer?” I asked. I wondered now if it was just a story Tamara told in her bedroom with the window propped open and flies buzzing everywhere. There were always flies and the sour smell of hog drifting in on dusty Saturday afternoons.We’d already flipped through shiny magazines andsmelled their thick scent. We’d smeared watermelon polish on our nails for a moment that’d probably never come. Then we rolled the magazines up and slapped at the never-ending flies. Coming out here was the only thing left to do.“Sometimes it takes a second to find,” Tamara said as she stopped and scanned the field, and I said nothing because I still wanted to believe her.I turn ed back around. From here the sagging trailer was the size of a thumbprint. It was hard to believe we’d been crammed inside—it seemed too small to hold us. You could block it out with a finger and make it disappear.The late summer sun sank low in the far row of trees and looked like moving globs of light. If I squinted my eyes and let them go all blurry, it glittered just like magic waiting. Or how I pictured magic might look if I could ever find it.“Should we go back?” I asked, right as she pointed.“There it is.”At first I couldn’t make it out. Weeds and golden grass had pierced the wood and pushed through, making it hard to tell what it had been. I was just about to ask her where when I saw the face.Its teeth were bared in an eternal grin. A tiger. Or a lion,maybe. A few feet away lay a camel. And I thought I saw a giraffe, but it was hard to tell. The framework was gone. Probably cut up and sold for firewood a long time ago.“I told you,” she said, but I didn’t look at her.I bent down and touched its head, the lion or tiger, and traced my newly painted nail along a red wooden vein. It was a long-ago ribbon or maybe even a rose, now bled of color except for one faint crimson line that clung to its splinters and wouldn’t let go. The wood l et out a rotting sigh, and the smell of damp and soil rose up like something whispered. It looked old. And not just because of the rotting wood. It looked old-fashioned.“Where’d it come from?” I asked.“Don’t know,” Tamara said. “It’s always been here. Even my mom remembers it from when she was a girl.”“She never rode it?”Tamara shook her head.Somebody had carved each eye, each tooth, each wild,blowing curl and set it out in a farmer’s field. Others had stood in line, clutching sweaty coins, j ust to ride around in circles to the sound of a calliope. Until it wasn’t enough anymore. Or maybe there was just too much to keep it standing. Too much sky pressing down, and now it was just wooden bones.I wished I could have seen him twirling madly, head lifted high and proud, but there was still a fierceness in his gaze that not even a prison of weeds could hold. Even though the earth was slowly swallowing him, it was like he wouldn’t stop fighting.I looked up at Tamara, but I could see that she di dn’t care,not really.“It’s just a pile of wood,” she said when she saw how I looked at her.But I wanted to tell her to shut up. This was haunted ground. A whole other world had moved and swallowed and ached unseen under this one with cries and laughter and screams. For a moment, I could almost hear it on the hot breath of wind that brushed my cheek. I strained to listen before the cicada song rose up and sang it away. Tamara shrugged and chewed on a nail. She was already peeling off the watermelon polish.问题：1A main purpose of the passage is to develop a narrative thatA) entertains the reader by presenting a series of light- hearted, humorous anecdotes.B) engages the reader by with holding information to create interest and anticipation.C) involves the reader in an intricate mystery that the characters are unable to resolve.D) inspires compassion in the reader by portraying a tragic event in the narrator’s life.2Over the course of the passage, the main focus shifts from aA) recollection of the beginning of a friendship to a portrayal of the current state of that friendship.B) narration of an individual’s thoughts to a description of a setting.C) depiction of a search to a reflection on the object of that search.D) discussion of a plan to an account of that plan’s failed execution.3It can reasonably be inferred that the time the narrator spends with Tamara on Saturdays generallyA) is largely focused on completing chores.B) involves a great deal of routine.C) prevents her from being outside.D) consists of her listening to Tamara tell stories.4Paragraph 6 (lines 22-25) primarily senses to provide a sense of the narrator’sA) longing for the extraordinary.B) respect and appreciation for the natural world.C) curiosity about her physical surroundings.D) alienation from those around her.5When the narrator observes that part of the lion or tiger is "bled of color" in line 39, she most nearly means that the color hasA) spread over that area.B) harmed the wood in that area.C) faded from that area.D) been deliberately removed from that area.6In context, the phrase “Until it wasn’t enough anymore” in lines 53-54 most likely refers to which event?A) The wooden animals no longer resembled real creatures.B) People lost interest in riding on the wooden animals.C) The artist stopped creating new wooden figures.D) People decided to take apart the frame for firewood.7In the passage, the narrator characterizes the lion or tiger as appearingA) resolute.B) pretentious.C) foolish.D) resigned.8The narrator’s reaction to the ruins suggests that she is someone whoA) engages her imagination when encountering new situations.B) finds herself drawn to dangerous environments.C) feels reluctant to let others see her emotional responses to events.D) exercises caution in expressing her observations.9Which choice provides the best evidence for the answer to the previous question?A) lines 32-34 (“Its … tell”)B) lines 43-44 (“It … old-fashioned")C) lines 50-51 (“Somebody … field”)D) lines 67-70 (“A whole …cheek”)10The interactions between the narrator and Tamara suggest which main difference in their personalities?A) Tamara values learning about the past while the narrator is only interested in her present situation.B) Tamara prefers to spend time indoors while the narrator prefers to spend time outside.C) Tamara is eager to take risks while the narrator prefers activities that are safe.D) Tamara is indifferent to her surroundings while the narrator views her surroundings with awe11Which choice provides the best answer to the previous question?A) lines 15-17 (“Sometimes … her”)B) lines 26-27 (“Should … is")C) lines 45-47 (“Where'd … girl")D) lines 64-67 (“It's … ground”)。

The question was: Why? Now a new study begins to unravel the mystery and the mechanism by which reducing food intake protects cells against aging and age-related diseases.Researchers report in the journal Cell that the phenomenon is likely linked to two enzymes—SIRT3 and SIRT4—in mitochondria (the cell's powerhouse that, among other tasks, converts nutrients to energy). They found that a cascade of reactions triggered by lower caloric intake raises the levels of these enzymes, leading to an increase in the strength and efficiency of the cellular batteries. By invigorating the mitochondria, SIRT3 and SIRT4 extend the life of cells, by preventing flagging mitochondria from developing tiny holes (or pores) in their membranes that allow proteins that trigger apoptosis, or cell death, to seep out into the rest of the cell."We didn't expect that the most important part of this pathway was in the mitochondria," says David Sinclair, an assistant professor of pathology at Harvard Medical School and a study co-author. "We think that we've possibly found regulators of aging."In 2003 Sinclair's lab published a paper in Nature that described the discovery of a gene that switched on in the yeast cell in response to calorie restriction, which Sinclair calls a "master regulator in aging." Since then, his team has been searching for an analogous gene that plays a similar role in the mammalian cell.The researchers determined from cultures of human embryonic kidney cells that lower caloric intake sends a signal that activates a gene inside cells that codes for the enzyme NAMPT (nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase). The two- to four-fold surge in NAMPT in turn triggers the production of a molecule called NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), which plays a key role in cellular metabolism and signaling.The uptick in NAD levels activates the SIRT3 and SIRT4 genes, increasing levels of their corresponding SIRT3 and SIRT4 enzymes, which then flood the interior of the mitochondria. Sinclair says he's not sure exactly how SIRT3 and SIRT4 beef up the mitochondria's energy output, but that events leading to cell death are at the very least delayed when there are vast quantities of the enzymes.SIRT3 and SIRT4 are part of a family called sirtuins (SIRT1, which helps extend cell life by modulating the number of repair proteins fixing DNA damage both inside and outside the cell's nucleus, is also a member). SIRT is short for sir-2homologue—a well-studied protein that is known to extend yeast cell longevity. According to Sinclair, all of the mammalian SIRT genes (and their proteins) are possible drug targets for therapies aimed at extending life, as well as staving off age-related illnesses, such as Alzheimer's disease, cancers and metabolic disorders, like diabetes."I think SIRT3 is the next most interesting sirtuin from a drug development standpoint," Sinclair says. "It does protect cells, but there's growing evidence that it may mediate the benefits of exercise as well."Sinclair's lab is now working on developing what he calls a possible "supermouse" with elevated levels of NAMPT to see if it lives longer and is more disease-resistant than normal mice.Matt Kaeberlein, a pathologist at the University of Washington in Seattle, says that Sinclair's team has an interesting hypothesis connecting the mitochondria to longevity, but that it needs to be more directly tested in the context of dietary restriction. "If the NAMPT-overexpressing mice are long-lived and disease resistant, that will provide more support for this idea."Lifespan of Groups of Mice With Different Levels of Caloric ReductionAdapted from Weindruch R, et al. (1986). "The Retardation of Aging in Mice by Dietary Restriction: Longevity, Cancer, Immunity, and Lifetime Energy Intake." Journal of Nutrition, April, 116(4), 641-54.QUESTION 1 OF 11The author indicates that caloric reduction extends the life of a mammalian cell by11 The author indicates that caloric reduction extends the life of a mammalian cell byA) turning off those genes involved in apoptosis, or cell death.B) forcing the mitochondria to utilize different energy sources for fuel.C) reducing the production of NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide).D) initiating a series of steps that results in the increased production of certain enzymes.2 Based on the passage, SIRT-3 and SIRT-4 indirectly affect cell longevity byA) strengthening the mitochondrial membrane.B) fixing damage to the cell’s DNA.C) initiating cell death.D) diminishing the efficiency of the cell’s mitochondria.3 Which choice provides the best evidence for the answer to the previous question?A) lines 7-9 (“Researchers ... mitochondria”)B) lines 13-18 (“By ... cell.”)C) lines 38-41 (“The ... mitochondria”)D) lines 41-44 (“Sinclair ... enzymes”)94 The author’s use of the words “powerhouse” and “batteries” in the second paragraph serves mainly toA) emphasize that mitochondria are the most important components of the cell.B) suggest that mitochondria use an electrical gradient to produce energyC) stress that mitochondria are the main sources of energy for the cell.D) imply that mitochondria need to be recharged in order to function efficiently5 As used in line 15 (“flagging”), “flagging” most nearly meansA) breaking.B) shrinking.C) folding.D) weakening.6 The main purpose of the fifth paragraph (lines 30-37) is toA) suggest that caloric reduction has a different effect on yeast cells than mammalian cells.B) highlight the important role that the kidney plays in the aging process.C) clarify the intermediate steps between caloric reduction and improved mitochondrial efficiency.D) identify the negative relationship between NAMPT production and NAD production.7 The author implies that the results of Sinclair’s study will enable future scientists toA) reverse the aging process.B) diagnose patients with age-related illnesses from an earlier age.C) create mice that are essentially immortal.D) more effectively treat a number of age-related illnesses.8 Which choice provides the best evidence for the answer to the previous question?A) lines 45-50 (“SIRT ... longevity.”)B) lines 50-54 (“According ... diabetes.”)C) lines 59-62 (“Sinclair’s ... mice”)D) lines 67-69 (“If ... idea”)9 The main purpose of the graph is toA) illustrate the relationship between caloric intake and longevity in different groups of mice.B) highlight how caloric reduction affects SIRT-3 enzyme production in different groups of mice.C) suggest that caloric reduction affects mice differently than it affects yeast.D) indicate that it is likely impossible to produce a genetically enhanced “supermouse.”10 How does the information in the graph relate to the author’s claim that caloric reduction increases the longevity of mammalian cells?A) It supports the claim, but suggests that the differences in longevity are marginal after a 25% caloric reduction.B) It supports the claim since the average lifespan of each group of mice increases as caloric reduction increases.C) It does not support the claim since the group of mice that did not have any caloric reduction had the highest survival rate after 35 months.D) It does not support the claim since all four groups of mice had the same average lifespan.11 It can reasonably be inferred from the graph that, 30 months into the study,A) all of the mice in the “55% caloric reduction”group were still alive.B) all of the mice in the “25% caloric reduction”group were still alive.C) approximately 50% of the mice in the “no caloric reduction” group we re still alive.D) none of the mice in the “no caloric reduction” group were still alive.。

Answer the questions on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passages and in any introductory material that may be provided.Questions 9-12 are based on the following passages.Passage 1Food has always been considered one of the most salient markers of cultural traditions. When I was a small child, food was the only thing that helped identify my family as Filipino American. We ate pansit lug-lug (a noodle dish) and my father put pads (salty fish sauce) on everything. However, even this connection lessened as I grew older. As my parents became more acculturated, we ate less typically Filipino food. When I was twelve, my mother took cooking classes and learned to make French and Italian dishes. When I was in high school, we ate chicken marsala and shrimp fra diablo more often than Filipino dishes like pansit lug-lug.Passage 2Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin—who in 1825 confidently announced, "Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you who you are"—would have no trouble describing cultural identities of the United States. Our food reveals us as tolerant adventurers who do not feel constrained by tradition. We "play with our food" far more readily than we preserve the culinary rules of our varied ancestors. Americans have no single national cuisine. What unites American eaters culturally is how we eat, not what we eat. As eaters, Americans mingle the culinary traditions of many regions and cultures. We are multiethnic eaters.9. Which of the following statements best captures the relationship between the two passages?(A) Passage 1 notes problems for which Passage 2 proposes solutions.(B) Passage 1 presents claims that are debunked by Passage 2.(C) Passage 2 furnishes a larger context for the experiences described in Passage I.(D) Passage 2 provides an update of the situation depicted in Passage 1.(E) Passage 2 uses material presented in Passage 1to correct a popular misconception.10. The author of Passage 2 would most likely regard the mother's willingness to "make French and Italian dishes" (lines 9-10, Passage 1) as(A) laughably pretentious(B) understandably conservative(C) typically American(D) a regrettable compromise(E) a surprising attitude11. The two passages differ in their discussions of food primarily in that Passage 1(A) considers specific dishes eaten by particular people, whereas Passage 2 comments on a culture's general attitude toward eating(B) contrasts the cuisines of different cultures, whereas Passage 2 emphasize culinary practices common to all cultures(C) presents an abstract theory of food, whereas Passage 2 offers a historical analysis of consumption(D) emphasizes the role of nostalgia in food preferences, whereas Passage 2 rejects that approach as overly sentimental(E) outlines some popular choices in cuisine,whereas Passage 2 underscores those that are more unusual12. Unlike the author of Passage 2, the author of Passage 1 makes significant use of(A) direct quotation(B) sociological analysis(C) hypothetical assumptions(D) historical sources(E) personal experienceQuestions 13-24 are based on the following passages.The passages below discuss the possibility of locating intelligent life on other planets. Passage 1 has been adapted from a 1999 book on the history of the universe. Passage 2 was excerpted from a 2000 book on the scientific quest for extraterrestrial life.Passage 1Generations of science-fiction movies have conditioned us to consider bug-eyed monsters, large-brained intellectual humanoids, and other rather sophisticated extraterrestrial Linecreatures as typical examples of life outside Earth. The reality, however, is that finding any kind of life at all, even something as simple as bacteria, would be one of the most exciting discoveries ever made.The consensus within the scientific community seems to be that we eventually will find not only life in other parts of10 the galaxy but also intelligent and technologically advanced life. I have to say that 1 disagree. While 1 believe we will find other forms of life in other solar systems (if not in our own), I also feel it is extremely unlikely that a large number of advanced technological civilizations are out15 there, waiting to be discovered. The most succinct support for my view comes from Nobel laureate physicist Enrico Fermi, the man who ran the first nuclear reaction ever controlled by human beings. Confronted at a 1950 luncheon with scientific arguments for the ubiquity of20 technologically advanced civilizations, he supposedly said, "So where is everybody?"This so-called Fermi Paradox embodies a simple logic. Human beings have had modern science only a few hundred years, and already we have moved into space. It is not25 hard to imagine that in a few hundred more years we will be a starfaring people, colonizing other systems. Fermi's argument maintains that it is extremely unlikely that many other civilizations discovered science at exactly the same time we did. Had they acquired science even a thousand30 years earlier than we. they now could be so much more advanced that they would already be colonizing our solar system.If, on the other hand, they are a thousand years behind us, we will likely arrive at their home planet before they35 even begin sending us radio signals. Technologicaladvances build upon each other, increasing technological abilities faster than most people anticipate. Imagine, for example, how astounded even a great seventeenth-century scientist like Isaac Newton would be by our current global40 communication system, were he alive today. Where are those highly developed extraterrestrial civilizations so dear to the hearts of science-fiction writers? Their existence is far from a foregone conclusion.Passage 2Although posed in the most casual of circumstances,45 the Fermi Paradox has reverberated through the decades and has at times threatened to destroy the credibility of those scientists seriously engaged in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SET!) research program.One possible answer to Fermi's question ("If there are50 extraterrestrials, where are they?") is that extraterrestrials have in fact often visited Earth, and continue to do so. This is the answer of those who believe in the existence of unidentified flying objects, or UFO's. But few scientists, even those engaged in SET1, take the UFO claims55 seriously. "You won't find anyone around here who believes in UFO's." says Frank Drake, a well-known SETI scientist. If one discounts the UFO claims, yet still believes that there are many technological civilizations in the galaxy, why have they not visited us? Drake's answer60 is straightforward: "High-speed interstellar travel is so demanding of resources and so hazardous that intelligent civilizations don't attempt it." And why should they attempt it, when radio communication can supply all the information they might want?65 At first glance, Drake's argument seems very persuasive. The distances between stars are truly immense. To get from Earth to the nearest star and back, traveling at 99 percent of the speed of light, would take 8 years. And SETI researchers have shown that, to accelerate70 a spacecraft to such a speed, to bring it to a stop, and to repeat the process in the reverse direction, would take almost unimaginable amounts of energy.Astronomer Ben Zuckerman challenges Drake's notion that technological beings would be satisfied with75 radio communication. "Drake's implicit assumption is that the only thing we're going to care about is intelligent life. But what if we have an interest in simpler life-forms? If you turn the picture around and you have some advanced extraterrestrials looking at the Earth, until80 the last hundred years there was no evidence of intelligent life but for billions of years before that they could have deduced that this was a very unusual world and that there were probably living creatures on it. They would have had billions of years to come investigate." Zuckerman contends85 that the reason extraterrestrials haven't visited us is that so few exist.13. Which statement about the Fermi Paradox is supported by both passages?(A) It articulates a crucial question for those interested in the existence of extraterrestrials.(B) It clarifies the astronomical conditions required to sustain life on other planets.(C) It reveals the limitations of traditional ideas about the pace of technological change.(D) It demonstrates the scientific community's fascination with the concept of interstellar travel.(E) It suggests that advanced extraterrestrial civilizations may be uninterested in our culture.14. Which statement best describes a significant difference between the two passages?(A) Passage 1 analyzes a literary form, while Passage 2 argues that literature has little bearing on science.(B) Passage 1 presents an argument, while Passage 2 surveys current opinion in a debate.(C) Passage 1 concludes by rejecting the Fermi Paradox, while Passage 2 opens by embracing it.(D) Passage 1 describes a phenomenon, while Passage 2 details a belief system that would reject such a phenomenon.(E) Passage I defends a viewpoint, while Passage 2 questions that viewpoint's place in scientific research.15. The author of Passage 1 mentions '"monsters," "humanoids," and "creatures" (lines 2-4) primarily to(A) question the literary value of science fiction(B) contrast fictional notions with a scientific perspective(C) offer examples of the human fear of the unknown(D) criticize science fiction for being unduly alarmist(E) suggest that scientific research has been influenced by science fiction16. In line 17, "ran" most nearly means(A) fled(B) accumulated(C) traversed(D) managed(E) incurred17. Passage 1 suggests that the Fermi Paradox depends most directly on which assumption?(A) Extraterrestria l civilizations may not wish to be discovered by human beings. •(B) Extraterrestrial civilizations would most likely have discovered technology at about the same time human beings discovered it.(C) Extraterrestrial technology would develop at roughly the same rate as human technology.(D) Extraterrestrial civilizations would inevitably use technology for aggressive ends.(E) Science is a more powerful form of human knowledge than are art and literature.18. The claim made in Passage 1 that a "consensus" exists (lines 8-11) would most likely be interpreted by the author of Passage 2 as(A) evidence of compromise in the scientific community(B) an attack on SETI researchers(C) support for Fermi's analysis(D) a revelation of an unexpected truth(E) an oversimplification of a complex debate19. The author of Passage 1 mentions Isaac Newton (lines 37-40) in order to(A) emphasize the rapid rate of technological innovation(B) acknowledge (he impact of a profound thinker(C) criticize the inflexibility of Newton's contemporaries(D) speculate about New ton's influence on current research(E) highlight the value of scientific curiosity20. In lines 44-48, the author of Passage 2 indicates that the Fermi Paradox has been(A) thoroughly misunderstood(B) surprisingly influential(C) overwhelmingly perplexing(D) intermittently popular(E) frequently misquoted21. How would Frank Drake (line 56, Passage 2) most likely respond to the statement by the author of Passage 1 about humans "colonizing other systems" (line 26)?(A) The means to accomplish such a project may be beyond our reach.(B) Interstellar colonization is as morally problematic as was colonization on Earth.(C) We would do better to study indigenous life-forms rather than search for extraterrestrial creatures.(D) Humans would be wise to consider that they themselves arc subject to colonization.(E) Funding for such an undertaking would pose a thorny political issue for any government.22. In line 57, "claims" most nearly means(A) demands(B) assertions(C) rights(D) territories(E) compensations23. In line 63, "radio communication" is cited as a(A) complex interaction(B) technological relic(C) common occurrence(D) practical alternative(E) dramatic advance24. Both the author of Passage 1 and Ben Zuckerman (line 73, Passage 2) imply that researchers seeking life on another planet should focus on which of the following?(A) Seasonal variations in color due to plant life(B) Evidence of the most basic forms of life(C) Signs of artificially created structures(D) Signals that might be radio communications(E) Changes in geological surface featuresQuestions 7-19 are based on the following passage.The following passage is from a 1979 essay by a Native American writer.An understanding of any national literature depends very much on an awareness of the larger cultural context. Without some knowledge of language, of history, of inflection, of the position of the storyteller within the group, without a hint of the social roles played by males and females in the culture, without a sense of the society's humor or priorities—without such knowledge, how can we, as reader or listener, penetrate to the core of meaning in an expression of art?The difficulty of gaining access to the literature of a different culture may be illustrated by an exemplary folktale (in translation) from the Tanaina (Athabaskan) culture of south-central Alaska. It would typically be told to a general audience within the society, including the full range of ages from young children to grandparents; it would be recounted with gesticulation and exaggeration by a performance specialist. It would be expected to have different meanings to the various categories of listeners—instructive, entertaining, reinforcing, or all three. Here is a brief version of the story:"Once upon a time there was a porcupine woman who decided to do some hunting .on the far side of the river. She went to the bank, where she met a beaver.'Hello,' she said to him. T need to do some hunting over there. Will you ride me across on your back?''I'd be glad to,' replied the beaver. 'Hop on.' So the porcupine woman climbed on his back, and he started swimming for the other side. When he had almost made it, the porcupine woman said, 'Oh my! I've forgotten to bring my sack. I'll need to go back to the other bank and get it.''All right.' said the beaver, and swam back. He was panting while the porcupine woman went to get her sack.'Okay,' she said. 'Let's go.' So they started across again. The beaver was swimming much more slowly. When they had practically reached the other side, she said, 'Oh my! I've forgotten to bring my needle. We'll have to go back and get it.'This time the beaver didn't say anything—he didn't have enough breath! But he turned around and pulled them back to the shore and nearly passed out while she got her needle.'Hurry up, now." the porcupine woman said as she climbed back on his back. He could hardly keep his nose above water, but he had almost made it to the far bank again when she said, 'Oh my! I've forgotten my staff. We'll have to . . . .'Before she had finished her sentence the beaver had flipped over in the water and dragged himself onto the bank, where he lay half dead. The porcupine woman managed to make the shore too, and climbed up onto a bear path. When she had caught her breath, she turned on the beaver and quilted him to death."The Tanaina live in an environment that could euphemistically be described as "difficult." Survival, especially in the wild, is always precarious. Further, they were, in the precontact period, a nonlilcratc people. Oral communication was therefore the method of cultural transmission, legal understanding, and meaningful communication. It is also necessary lo know that a "staff." as mentioned in the story, fund ions as both a walking stick and a weapon, and that in the Tanaina symbol system, porcupines were supposed to be rather ponderous, dull-witted creatures, and beavers were thought to be energetic and industrious but overly spontaneous and erratic.For the reader armed with these data, the story becomes more accessible as a lesson in contract law, with several additional minor themes. A culturally attuned listener would notice, for instance, that when the porcupine woman proposed passage to the beaver, he agreed without any stipulations or clarifications of the terms. He gave a basically open-ended agreement—made a contract—and hence the porcupine woman was perfectly within her rights both in demanding that he return three times and in quilting him to death when he reneged.The story is not. however, without its moral for the porcupine women of this world. Her stated aim is to go hunting, and yet she sets out without the three essentials of that endeavor: a sack in which to carry home her game, a needle with which to sew up the intestines, and, most important, an implement with which to hunt and defend herself. True, she had an open-ended contract, but where does she wind up at the conclusion of the story? Sitting, exhausted, quills used up, weaponless, and not only on the wrong side of the river from her home but on a bear path! The hunter is about to become the hunted, and all because of her own improvidence.7. In the opening paragraph, the author assumes that the "meaning" (line 8) is(A) culturally determined(B) intensely personal(C) essentially moralistic(D) permanently inscrutable(E) uniquely artistic8. In the context of the passage, which "expression of art" (line 9) would be the most difficult to interpret?(A) A contemporary play written by a prolific play wright(B) A fable from a nonliterate society with which anthropologists are very familiar(C) A single text produced by a previously unknown society(D) A sitcom from the early days of television(E) A single myth from an ancient culture with a well-documented mythological structure9. How does the author respond to the question posed in lines 3-9?(A) By proposing an innovative strategy(B) By confirming the futility of such analysis(C) By describing a personal experience with the problem(D) By illustrating his point within a particular context(E) By documenting a traditional approach to the problem10. The author discusses Tanaina culture from the perspective of(A) a concerned parent(B) a bewildered visitor(C) a performance artist(D) an informed outsider(E) an indignant reader11. The sentence in which "difficult" appears (lines 54-55) indicates that the author considers the word to be(A) an exaggeration(B) an estimate(C) an understatement(D) a contradiction(E) a preconception12. In relation to the passage, the statements in lines 59-65 serve a function most similar to which of the following items?(A) A menu in a restaurant(B) The key or legend to a map(C) A department store directory(D) The outline of a term paper(E) An illustration of a fairytale13. The author's analysis of the folktale offers which insight into Tanaina beliefs?(A) A fanciful story is most suitable for an audience of children.(B) A verbal exchange can establish a binding contract.(C) A person who behaves impulsively is most often sincere.(D) A shared task should be divided fairly between two people.(E) A painstaking plan may nonetheless fail to anticipate all problems.14. The "porcupine women of this world" (lines 76-77) are best described as people who(A) plan inadequately for their own needs(B) postpone necessary work in favor of leisure(C) depend heavily upon help from their close friends(D) return repeatedly to their favorite places(E) flee quickly from any laborious task15. The final paragraph (lines 76-87) suggests that the bear path mentioned in lines 51-52 is significant because it(A) foreshadows the arrival of a benevolent character from Tanaina folklore(B) suggests an alarming alternative to crossing the river(C) marks the boundary of the beaver's natural surroundings(D) explains the porcupine woman's fear of unfamiliar territory(E) poses a new peril for the porcupine woman16. In lines 83-87, the description of the porcupine woman emphasizes the discrepancy between her(A) social position and her private feelings(B) physical wealth and her moral poverty(C) hostile action and her ultimate gratitude(D) original goal and her actual situation(E) grandiose ambition and her real moods17. As a commentary on legal relations, the folktale is best described as(A) an example of traditional practices(B) an outline for social behavior(C) a warning about ill-conceived assent(D) a criticism of obsolete custom(E) a parody of actual situation18. The author's attitude toward the Tanaina folktale is best described as(A) excitement at an unexpected discovery(B) admiration of the storyteller's performance(C) appreciation of the folktale as a means of communicating values(D) enthusiasm for the Tanaina culture's concept of legality(E) enjoyment of the comical aspects of the folktale19.

Despite the ______ of books written about Greta Garbo, she ultimately remains ______, an inscrutable personality.A. ardor…a paragonB. profusion…an enigmaC. bounty…an iconD. obtuseness…a paradoxE. dearth…a mysterySECTION 4The passages below are followed by questions based on their content; questions following a pair of related passages may also be based on the relationship between the paired passages. Answer the questions on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passages and in any introductory material that may be provided.Questions 9-10 are based on the following passage.When we came home, Aunt Sylvie would certainly be home, too, enjoying the evening, for so she described her habit of sitting in the dark. Evening was her special time of day. She gave the word three syllables, and indeed I think she liked it so well for its tendency to smooth, to soften. She seemed to dislike the disequilibrium of counterpoising a roomful of light against a worldful of darkness. Sylvie in a house was more or less like a mermaid in a ship's cabin. She preferred it sunk in the very element it was meant to exclude.9. The reference to Aunt Sylvie's pronunciation in line 4 serves to(A) capture a distinctive regional dialect(B) highlight a double meaning of a word(C) provide an ominous foreshadowing(D) underscore a particular misconception(E) give evidence of a contrary personality10. The last sentence of the passage suggests that Sylvie felt a house should be a(A)shelter from darkness and danger(B)defense against unwelcome visitors(C)mysterious and adventurous place(D)reminder of the cabin of a ship(E)part of the world outdoorsQuestions 11-12 are based on the following passage.Some people boast of having a sixth sense, professing to know or see things that others cannot, Fortune-tellers, mind readers, and mystics all lay claim to this, power, and, in so doing, elicit widespread fascination in others, especially book publishers and television producers. The questionable field of parapsychology is of course founded on the belief that at least some people actually possess this mysterious power. But to me, the real mystery is why so many fortune¬tellers choose to work the phones on television psychic hotlines instead of becoming insanely wealthy stock traders on Wall Street.11. The author implies that the "people" (line 1) are(A) mavericks(B) dilettantes(C) oracles(D) charlatans(E) pragmatists12. The tone of the author's comment in the last sentence ("But... Street") is most accurately described as(A) sardonic(B) baffled(C) condescending(D) didactic(E) pensiveSECTION 4Questions 13-25 are based on the following passages.These passages are adapted from observations made by two twentieth-century historians on how nations—and people—make use of their sense of their own history.Passage 1Although when we use the word "history" we instinctively think of the past, this is an error, for history is actually a bridge connecting the past with the present and pointing the road to the future. This fact Daniel Webster5 expressed many years ago in memorable nautical terms: "... when the mariner has tossed for many days in thick weather, and on an unknown sea, he naturally avails himself of the first pause in the storm, the earliest glances of the sun, to take his latitude and ascertain how far the10 elements have driven him from his true course." Webster here indicates one of the cardinal utilities of history. Since humanity is always more or less stormplriven, history serves as a crucial navigational instrument for the nations which, tossed as they are by wind and current, would be 15 lost in confusion if they could not identify their position.History enables bewildered bodies of human beings to grasp their relationship with their pasU and helps them chart their immediate forward course. And it does more than this. By giving people a sense of continuity in all their20 efforts, red-flagging error, and chronicling immortal worth, it confers on them a consciousness of unity, a realization of the value of individual achievement, and a comprehension of the importance of planned effort, as contrasted with aimless drifting.25 Modern people, especially when harried and perplexed by the sweep of events, peer earnestly into history for some illumination of their predicament and prospects, even though they may only read magazine articles or listen to the radio or television. And when great events rouse people30 to their most responsible temper, and fierce national ordeals awaken them to a new sense of their capacities, they turn readily to the writing of history, for they wish to instruct, and to its reading, for they want to learn. It was no accident that the First World War fostered such an interest in history35 that for a time the number of books in English devoted to history exceeded the tides in fiction. Passage 2The historian has much to answer for. History—that is, written history and the examples it provides—has made and unmade nations, given courage to the oppressed and40 undermined the oppressor, has justified aggression and overridden law. After Germany's defeat of France in 1870, a French historian exclaimed with unwilling admiration that the nineteenth-century Germans used their history as a means toward unity and a weapon of war; but that45 the story of his own country as written by his compatriots had taught the French people "above all to hate oneanother." Past heroism breeds future heroism, past cowardice the cowardice of the future. History tends to repeat itself by a process of almost deliberate imitation.50 We have been told what to expect of ourselves and, by expecting, we do it.But what is this motivating force? What is written history? The nineteenth-century English historian Froude sonorously hailed it as "a voice forever sounding across55 the centuries the laws of right and wrong." Written history is, in fact, nothing of the kind; it is the fragmentary record of the often inexplicable actions of innumerable bewildered human beings set down and interpreted according to their own limitations by other human beings, equally60 bewildered. The tribunal of history judges about as fairly as any Tandom batch of court judges. But only a minority of people are able to recognize this fact; and, of that minority, only a minority will act upon it. The rest of us will go through life with a silt of moral and political prejudice65 washing about the brain—all derived directly and indirectly, by way of textbooks and propaganda and theaters and the marketplace, from historical writings.It used to be said that history should be written without prejudice, that the historian must not step aside to draw70 a moral. The first cannot be done; the second should not. Historians should always draw morals. If the accurate, judicious and highly trained scholars fail to do so, the unscrupulous and unqualified will do it for them, and the deluded public will listen gaping to false but more75 emphatic prophets. Historians who neglect the education of the public are responsible for the villainous stuff to which the public will go instead. A nation does not create the historians it deserves; the historians are far more likely to create the nation.13. The author of each passage argues that people use their nations' history as a way to(A) bring about harmony among disparate groups(B) settle disputes over important precedents(C) make decisions about future actions(D) influence citizens of other nations(E) create myths fostering patriotism14. The primary purpose of Passage 1 is to(A) define what is meant by the term "history" in Western culture(B) draw a parallel between collective andindividual histories(C) describe the benefits of having a senseof history(D) clarify misconceptions about history(E) justify the public's interest in history15. The author of Passage 2 would most likely argue that a nation's history differs from a "crucial navigational instrument" (line 13, Passage 1) in that history(A) may offer flawed, even misleading, direction(B) is not easily understood by every head of state(C) helps to promote embarrassment, even shame(D) offers little guidance on certain national issues(E) must be studied in the context of a society's values16. In line 26, "the sweep of events" most directly refers to events that happen(A) secretly and remain undisclosed(B) routinely and appear unimportant(C) swiftly and seem overwhelming(D) accidentally and inspire improvements(E) predictably and confirm expectations17. The author of Passage 1 assumes that historians function as(A) wise and respected policy makers(B) strict and disciplined instructors(C) adventurous and articulate explorers(D) knowledgeable and indispensable guides(E) carefree and impetuous speculators18. The author of Passage 2 would most likely consider the "number" (line 35, Passage 1) an example of the(A) appetite for history that makes the public vulnerable to irresponsible historians(B) demand for history books that makes unscrupulous historians^ wealthy(C) interest in history that leads readers to overestimate their own expertise(D) need for heroic figures whose stories provide inspiration(E) tendency of history texts to proliferate during wartime19. The primary purpose of Passage 2 is to(A) present a strongly held opinion(B) describe the methodology of a historian(C) analyze a famous historian's work(D) defend a widely held point of view(E) discredit the validity of a project20. In line 54, "sounding" most nearly means(A) measuring(B) greeting(C) proclaiming(D) fathoming(E) examining21. The author of Passage 1 would most likely characterize the "tribunal of history" mentioned in line 60, Passage 2 as(A) detached and uninformed(B) divisive and demanding(C) objective and illuminating(D) vast and mysterious(E) conventional and superficial22. In line 74, "gaping" most directly emphasizes the(A) public's appetite for documented truths(B) audience's susceptibility to persuasion(C) scholars' approach to conducting research(D) historians' desire to entertain readers(E) readers' preference for familiar explanations23. The author of Passage 2 argues that written history often functions as a(A) useful description of documented facts(B) glorious commemoration of past greatness(C) powerful motivation for future reforms(D) dubious training in scholarly detachment(E) questionable model for future conduct24. The "minority" (line 61, Passage 2) would most likely view the "sense of continuity" mentioned in line 19, Passage 1 with(A) disdain for its political implications(B) ambivalence about its popular appeal(C) curiosity about its future effects(D) appreciation of its short-term advantages(E) skepticism about its accuracy25. The author of Passage 1 and the author of Passage 2 differ most strongly on which topic?(A) The appeal of history(B) The reliability of historians(C) The impact of tumultuous events(D) The dearth of accessible historical documents(E) The relevance of the past to the present。

Eager to improve upon their journalistic skills, Ines and Juanita were disappointed in their editor for criticisms that were often more ______ than ______.A. didactic…extemporaneousB. captious…edifyingC. perceptive…incisiveD. quibbling…inaptE. constructive…diplomaticSection 6Questionw 6-9 are based on the following passages.Passage 1I love to nap. When after-lunch grogginess hits and my eyelids start to droop, nothing makes me happier than finding a comtable spot and drifting off to sleep.But to my family, my napping is the sign of a basic character flaw.“You’re napping again? You’re so lazy!”They’re not the only ones who feel this way. To be an enthusiastic napper in twenty-first-century North America is to be out of step with your time and place. A nap is seen as a sign of weakness, either physical or moral. Healthy, productive adults do not nap.Passage 2Sleep researchers have shown that the human body is programmed to become sleepy in the early afternoon. In some cultures people doze after the midday meal. But in many industrializednations, the usual response is to try to jump-start the system with caffeine, a tactic that sleep experts say creates only the illusion of efficiency and alterness.“napping should not be frowned upon,”writes one researcher, “It should have the status of daily exercise.”And in fact restorative naps may be making a comeback. Recognizing that many employees are chronically sleep deprived, some companies have set up nap rooms. If labor unions are interested in worker welfare, they should make such accommodation a standard item in contract negotiations.6. The “Sleep researchers” (line 12, Passage 2) would most likely characterize the “grogginess”(line 1, Passage 1) as a(A) potentially dangerous problem(B) symptom of stress(C) normal human pattern(D) response to an excess of caffeine(E) personal failure7. Passage 2 indicates that the view expressed in the final sentence of Passage 1 (“Healthy…nap”) has been(A) helpful for those who act on it(B) evident in every human culture(C) supported by sleep researchers(D) opposed by many labor unions(E) rejected by some employers8．The author of Passage 2 would most likely agree with which statement about the “tactic” (16)?(A) It is not understood by sleep experts.(B) It is not encouraged by employers.(C) It is less effective than it appears to be.(D) It is often difficult to implement(E) It is adopted only for rare emergencies.9. The sleep expert quoted in Passage 2 (lines 19-20) would most likely consider the position taken by the “family” (line 4, Passage 1) to be(A) self-contradictory(B) misguided(C) idiosyncratic(D) ambiguous(E) sympatheticQuestion 10-15 are based on the following passagesPassage 1 is from the introduction to a Zen Buddhist manual on the art of “mindfulness”, the practice of paying close attentino to the present moment. Passage 2 is from an essay by a United States author.Passage 1Every morning, when we wake up, we have 24 brand-new hours to live. What a precious gift! We have the capacity to live in a way that these 24 hours will bring peace, joy, and happiness to ourselves and to others.Peace is right here and now, in ourselves and in everything we do and see. The question is whether or not we are in touch with it. We don’t have to travel far away to enjoy the blue sky. We don’t have to leave our city or even our ne ighborhood to enjoy the eyes of a beautiful child. Even the air we breathe can be a source of joy.We can smile, breathe, walk, and eat our meals in a way that allows us to be in touch with the abundance of happiness that is available. We are very good at preparing how to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive. Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with joy, peace, and serenity. We need only to be awake, alive in the present moment.Passage 2The argument of both the hedonist and the guru is that we were but to open ourselves to the richness of the moment, to concentrate on the feast before us, we would be filled with bliss. I have lived in the present from time to time and can tell you that it is much overrated. Occasionally, as a holiday from strokin g one’s memories or brooding about future worries, I grant you, it can be a nice change of pace. But to “be here now,” hour after hour, would never work. I don’t even approve of stories written in the present tense. Ads for poets who never use a past participate, they deserve the eternity they are striving for. Besides, the present has a way of intruding whether you like it or not. Why should I go out of my way to meet it? Let it splash on me from time to time, like a car going through a puddle, and I, on the sidewalk of my solitude, will salute it grimly like any other modern inconvenience.If I attend a concert, obviously not to listen to the music but to find a brief breathing space in which to meditate on the past and future. I realize that there may be moments when the music invades my ears and I am forced to pay attention to it, note for note. I believe I take such intrusions gracefully. The present is not always an unwelcome guest, remembering or brooding time.10．The author of Passage 1 would most likely view the author of Passage 2 as(A) attaching too much importance to the views of others(B) advocating an action without considering the consequences(C) paying attention exclusively to the most difficult aspects of life(D) squandering a precious opportunity on a daily basis(E) failing to respect the feelings of other people11. In line 2, “precious” most nearly means(A) affected(B) adorable(C) elegant(D) meticulous(E) valuable12. In line 16, the list (“a job…house”) presents things that m ost people(A) assume they will eventually obtain(B) eventually realize are overrated(C) are unwilling to make sacrifices for(D) believe that everyone is entitled to(E) see as worth much effort to acquire13. The author of Passage 1 would most likely respond to the “argument” (line 22, Passage 2)with(A) complete agreement(B) partial acceptance(C) absolute neutrality(D) studied disinterest(E) surprised disbelief14. In lines 33-37, the “present” is characterized as(A) a dangerous threat(B) an elusive concept(C) an unsolvable puzzle(D) an unavoidable imposition(E) a burdensome obligation15. Which of the following phrases from Passage 2 would the author of Passage 1 most likelychoose as a title for Passage 1?(A) “the hedonist and the guru” (line 22)(B) “the feast before us” (line 24)(C) “the sidewalk of my solitude” (line 36)(D) “a brief breathing space” (line 39)(E) “an unwelcome guest” (line 43)Questions 16-24 are based on the following passage.This passage was written by a geologist and published in 2001.Not long ago, while browsing in a bookstore, I came across a volume entitled The New Atlas of the Universe. The title of this handsome work, I admit, took me aback. Line Could it be true that the entire cosmos had really been5 probed, explored, mapped, and updated? But the book turned out to be far less than this, and therefore, in many ways, far more interesting. It was, in fact, an atlas of our solar system (a somewhat provincial version of "the universe"), consisting mainly of detailed images and maps10 of the planets and their moons, along with respective lists of surface features recently identified by various spacecraft.This might sound rather humdrum. Yet another view of Jupiter's giant red spot? One more close-up of Saturn's auroral rings? Mars, as we know it so well, still a rusty,15 windswept, and boulder-strewn surface? Such was the visual chorus I expected to find, a coda of images tanta¬mount to photographic clichés. But I was in for a number of striking surprises. Leafing through the pages of this book, I found myself entering a "universe" I had no idea20 existed.As a geologist, I had been generally aware of the visual riches culled from the two V oyager space probes launched by the United States in the late 1970s. These robot eyes sent out to wander among the worlds and satellites of25 Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune had reportedly brought back tales and wonders of these geographical new worlds. This I had known; but here was the overwhelming evidence, of which I had been ignorant. Here were images that revealed worlds of unaccountable30 feature and action. Here were the violently eruptive sulfur volcanoes on Jupiter's moon lo, spewing gases and ions far into space. Here were the eerie, spidery lines of Jupiter's moon Europa, stretching for hundreds of miles just beneath a glazed skin of frozen methane.35 Here, too, were the gigantic, broken ice cliffs on Uranus' moon Miranda, rising to heights that dwarfed even the Himalayas, and the multiform terrain of Neptune's moon Triton, whosepatchwork landscapes seemed grafted onto each other without reason or order, as40 if by collision.To geologists, the Earth is huge and visually infinite. This is a conceptual necessity. With its innumerable sub-fields and levels of scale, the geological Terra is a universe all its own. The famous portrait of our planet as a single45 ball, swirling with cloud, taken by Apollo astronauts on their way to the Moon, is in no way a geological view. It is too distant, too complete, too unified—indeed, toomuch like the Moon itself. It is therefore something else: an aesthetic vision that has left the gravity of science50 behind.Habituated by my own geological training and knowledge, I was not quite prepared upon opening this New Atlas of the Universe to encounter the faces of so many worlds, dangling in the black of space, their features available to55 the eye for instant interpretation. Within this book, each planet and moon had its accompanying map. composed of a computer-generated image that flattened its subject out on a single rectangular strip—the so-called Mercator projection. This, too, seemed interesting: a technique60 literally 400 years old invented at the height of the early colonial era, the Age of Exploration, now being employed to make visible the most advanced geographies in a new age of discovery. Indeed, what might Mercator have thought were it suggested to him that his scheme would65 one day be used to plot landscapes so far from terrestrial in aspect as to reflect back, in their magnificent alienness, the very idea of an old and exhausted Earth?16. In lines 1-20, the author introduces The New Atlas of the Universe primarily by(A) inviting comparisons of maps in the book with maps of Earth(B) reviewing traditional ideas about Earth's geology(C) provoking curiosity about his personal achievements(D) hypothesizing in advance about what the book might contain(E) establishing his extensive knowledge of the field of astronomy17. The author’s response to the anticipated images of Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars (lines 12-15) can best be likened to that of(A) a singer looking over yet another arrangement of a familiar song(B) a chef tasting an herb for the first time(C) an art historian discovering the influence of one artist on another(D) a child finding a favorite toy that had been lost(E) an inventor testing a variety of specialized designs18. In lines 30-40 ("Here ... collision"), the author lists geographical details primarily in order to(A) emphasize the novelty and diversity of the photographs(B) describe the alarming appearance of the satellites(C) provide factual data about distant places(D) praise the accomplishments of the V oyager program(E)explain a personal fascination with new places and sights19. In lines 43-44 ("the geological... own"), the author conveys a sense of the(A) astounding ability scientists have to look beyond Earth(B) satisfaction that geological study brings to those who pursue it(C) vastness of the array of Earth's features that geologists study(D) surface features that Earth has in common with other planets(E) need to persuade the reader that geology is a worthy endeavor20. The photograph of Earth taken from space is "in no way a geological view" (line 46) because(A) a cloud cover obscures much of the Earth's outline(B) the picture was not taken by trained photographers(C)the image lacks the level of detail that is at the heart of what interests geologists(D) Earth appears to exist outside the law of gravity(E) geologists have a different aesthetic view of the Earth's surface21. The author indicates that the atlas portrays "faces" (line 53) in such a way that their "features" (line 54) are(A) grossly distorted(B) partially obscured(C) artificially enhanced(D) mysteriously attractive(E) immediately understandable22. The author finds which aspect of the "Mercator projection" (lines 58-59) most remarkable?(A) Its original role in the colonization of parts of the world(B)Its usefulness in modern technological applications(C) Its application of landscape design techniques to mapmaking(D) Its ability to render three-dimensional objects as flat(E) Its anticipation of scientific pursuits of the distant future23. In line 65, "plot" most nearly means(A) plan(B)chart(C) conspire(D) conceive(E) narrate24. Which best describes the function of the question in lines 63-67 ("Indeed ... Earth")?(A) It challenges an age-old assumption.(B) It engages in historical speculation.(C) It introduces a novel hypothesis.(D) It provokes a scientific controversy.(E)It creates a sense of foreboding.。
