NEW QUESTION # 247
Charles A Lindbergh is remembered as the first person to make a nonstop solo flight across the Atlantic, in 1927. This feat, when Lindbergh was only twenty-five years old, assured him a lifetime of fame and public attention. Charles Augustus Lindbergh was more interested in flying airplanes than he was in studying. He dropped out of the University of Wisconsin after two years to earn a living performing daredevil airplane stunts at country fairs. Two years later, he joined the United States Army so that he could go to the Army Air Service flight-training school. After completing his training, he was hired to fly mail between St. Louis and Chicago. Then came the historic flight across the Atlantic. In 1919, a New York City hotel owner offered a prize of $25,000 to the first pilot to fly nonstop from New York to Paris. Nine St. Louis business leaders helped pay for the plane Lindbergh designed especially for the flight. Lindbergh tested the plane by flying it from San Diego to New York, with an overnight stop in St. Louis. The flight took only
20 hours and 21 minutes, a transcontinental record. Nine days later, on May 20,1927, Lindbergh took off from Long Island, New York, at 7:52 A M He landed at Paris on May 21 at 10:21 P M He had flown more than 3,600 miles in less than thirty four hours. His flight made news around the world. He was given awards and parades everywhere he went. He was presented with the U S Congressional Medal of Honor and the first Distinguished Flying Cross. For a long time, Lindbergh toured the world as a U S goodwill ambassador. He met his future wife, Anne Morrow, in Mexico, where her father was the United States ambassador. During the 1930s, Charles and Anne Lindbergh worked for various airline companies, charting new commercial air routes. In 1931, for a major airline, they charted a new route from the east coast of the United States to the Orient. The shortest, most efficient route was a great curve across Canada, over Alaska, and down to China and Japan. Most pilots familiar with the Arctic did not believe that such a route was possible. The Lindberghs took on the task of proving that it was. They arranged for fuel and supplies to be set out along the route. On July 29, they took off from Long Island in a specially equipped small seaplane. They flew by day and each night landed on a lake or a river and camped. Near Nome, Alaska, they had their first serious emergency. Out of daylight and nearly out of fuel, they were forced down in a small ocean inlet. In the next morning's light, they discovered they had landed on barely three feet of water. On September 19, after two more emergency landings and numerous close calls, they landed in China with the maps for a safe airline passenger route. Even while actively engaged as a pioneering flier, Lindbergh was also working as an engineer.
In 1935, he and Dr. Alexis Carrel were given a patent for an artificial heart. During World War I in the
1940s, Lindbergh served as a civilian technical advisor in aviation. Although he was a civilian, he flew over fifty combat missions in the Pacific. In the 1950s, Lindbergh helped design the famous 747 jet airliner. In the late 1960s, he spoke widely on conservation issues. He died August 1974, having lived through aviation history from the time of the first powered flight to the first steps on the moon and having influenced a big part of that history himself.
What event happened last?
- A. Lindbergh flew fifty combat missions.
- B. Lindbergh patented an artificial heart.
- C. The Lindberghs mapped a route to the Orient.
- D. Lindbergh helped design the 747 airline.
- E. Charles finally was given an honorary degree from college.

NEW QUESTION # 253
The Trojan War is one of the most famous wars in history. It is well known for the ten year duration, for the heroism of a number of legendary characters, and for the Trojan horse. What may not be familiar, however, is the story of how the war began. According to Greek myth, the strife between the Trojans and the Greeks started at the wedding of Peleus, King of Thessaly, and Thetis, a sea nymph. All of the gods and goddesses had been invited to the wedding celebration in Troy except Eris, goddesses of discord. She had been omitted from the guest list because her presence always embroiled mortals and immortals alike in conflict. To take revenge on those who had slighted her, Eris decided to cause a skirmish. Into the middle of the banquet hall, she threw a golden apple marked "for the most beautiful." All of the goddesses began to haggle over who should possess it.
The gods and goddesses reached a stalemate when the choice was narrowed to Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. Someone was needed to settle the controversy by picking a winner. The job eventually fell to Paris, son of King Priam of Troy, who was said to be a good judge of beauty. Paris did not have an easy job. Each goddess, eager to win the golden apple, tried aggressively to bribe him. "I'll grant you vast kingdoms to rule, "promised Hera. "Vast kingdoms are nothing in comparison with my gift," contradicted Athena. "Choose me and I'll see that you win victory and fame in war." Aphrodite outdid her adversaries, however. She won the golden apple by offering Helen, Zeus' daughter and the most beautiful mortal, to Paris. Paris, anxious to claim Helen, set off for Sparta in Greece. Although Paris learned that Helen was married, he accepted the hospitality of her husband, King Menelasu of Sparta, anyway. Therefore, Menelaus was outraged for a number of reasons when Paris departed, taking Helen and much of the king's wealth back to Troy. Menelaus collected his loyal forces and set sail for Troy to begin the war to reclaim Helen.
Eris was known for ___ both mortals and immortals.
- A. comforting
- B. involving in conflict
- C. ignoring
- D. scheming against
- E. feeling hostile toward

NEW QUESTION # 255
Human cells are programmed to selfdestruct at the same rate at which they are generated. However, the programs can malfunction, resulting either in excessive cell growth, which can lead to cancer, or excessive cell destruction, which can lead to degenerative diseases. As for the latter, using a tool called RNA interference, researchers can turn off the functions of genes individually and, by observing the results, determine which genes influence the process of cell death. Geneticists have isolated more than one hundred different human genes that prevent cells from self-destructing. However, these genes operate interdependently toward this end; moreover, most such genes serve other functions as well, including cell differentiation and proliferation. Scientists are just beginning to identify the gene groups that play key roles in the prevention of cell death and to understand the intricacies of how these groups function, not just as units but also together, in what appears to be a vast network. Building on this knowledge, researchers hope to learn how to precisely manipulate the process of cell death in humans - a crucial step toward the development of diagnostics and treatments that target the specific diseases associated with out-of-control cell destruction.
It can be inferred from the passage that the author mentions "cell differentiation and proliferation" (lines
21-22) probably in order to
- A. emphasize the complexity of the interplay among gene functions
- B. distinguish internal inputs that trigger cell self-destruction from external sources
- C. point out that different genes generally perform different functions
- D. differentiate the various types of genes that prevent cell death
- E. identify the mechanism by which human cells can multiply out of control
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Explanation
The author explains that many of the genes that prevent cell death operate individually and in groups to perform other functions as well, and so determining exactly what genes and groups of genes function to prevent various types of cells from self-destructing is an exceedingly complex undertaking.

NEW QUESTION # 257
In nearly all human populations, a majority of individuals can taste the artificially synthesized chemical phenylthiocarbonide (PTC). However, the percentage varies dramatically - from as low as sixty percent in India to as high as ninety-five percent in AfricA. That this polymorphism is observed in non-human primates as well indicates a long evolutionary history which, although obviously not acting on PTC, might reflect evolutionary selection for taste discrimination of other, more significant bitter substances, such as certain toxic plants. A somewhat more puzzling human polymorphism is the genetic variability in earwax, or cerumen, which is observed in two varieties. Among European populations, ninety percent of individuals have a sticky yellow variety rather than a dry, gray one, whereas in northern China these numbers are approximately the reverse. Perhaps like PTC variability, cerumen variability is an incidental expression of something more adaptively significant. Indeed, the observed relationship between cerumen and odorous bodily secretions, to which non-human primates and, to a lesser extent humans, pay attention suggests that during the course of human evolution genes affecting body secretions, including cerumen, came under selective influence.
Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
- A. Artificially synthesized chemicals might eventually alter the course of evolution by desensitizing humans to certain tastes and odors.
- B. Polymorphism among human populations varies considerably from region to region throughout the world.
- C. The human senses of taste and smell have evolved considerably over the course of evolutionary history.
- D. Some human polymorphisms might be explained as vestigial evidence of evolutionary adaptations that still serve vital purposes in other primates.
- E. Sensitivity to taste and to odors has been subject to far greater natural selectivity during the evolution of primates than previously thought.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
In the first paragraph, the author's main concern is to point out that the variability among human populations regarding sensitivity to PTC might be a trace of the evolutionary process of natural selectivity.
In the second paragraph, the author offers a similar suggestion about variability in earwax type. To support these assertions, the author infers that both characteristics still serve useful purposes among non- primates, from whom humans presumably evolved. This inference is especially clear with respect to identifying bitter substances that might be toxic. Choice D accurately reflects the author's main assertion and supporting evidence

NEW QUESTION # 263
Many shipwrecks dating from the period between A.D. 300 and 600 have been discovered in the Remain Sea.
Well over half of those ships were carrying cargo stored in large ceramic jars, many of which were preserved largely intact on the ocean floor. During that period, such jars carried only liquid. Therefore, liquid cargo was probably carried by a majority of the cargo ships that navigated the Ramian Sea during that period.
The force of the evidence cited in the passage is most seriously weakened if which of the following is true?
- A. During the period, grain and other solid cargo was shipped across the Ramian Sea in containers made from material other than clay.
- B. For ships on the Ramian Sea during the period, a full load of liquid cargo stored in large ceramic jars was not likely to be significantly heavier than a full load of other kinds of cargo that were typical of the period.
- C. The presence of a sizable quantity of large ceramic jars on the ocean floor is so visually striking that a shipwreck of a ship carrying such jars is more likely to be noticed and reported than are shipwrecks of ships carrying other cargoes.
- D. There are no surviving records dating from the period that detail specific cargoes shipped across the Ramian Sea.
- E. The ratio of liquid to solid cargo shipped across the Ramian Sea did not vary significantly over the period.
