 SECTION 4
The wealthy hunting societies of Europe at the end of the age of the glaciers did not
have their future under their own control. The environment would determine their
fate, as it would the fate of the animals. But the humans had an advantage the animals
did not. Although people did not notice it, the climate had changed. Summers grew
5 longer and warmer, ice sheets shrank, and glaciers retreated. Because of the changes
in climate, plant and animal life changed. The mammoth, rhinoceros, and reindeer
disappeared from western Europe, their going perhaps hastened by the human hunters
themselves. On what had been open grassland or tundra with dwarf birch and willow
trees, great forests spread, stocked with the appropriate forest animals‐‐red deer,
10 aurochs, and wild pigs. Because the great herds of beasts on which they had preyed
disappeared, the economic basis of the hunting societies was cut away. But this
provided a moment when early humans were able to prove their advantage over the
biological specialization of animals: the reindeer found his coat too hot to wear and had
to leave; humans merely took their coats off and readjusted their habits.

 With Union troops in the South and an increasing number of federal officials, most
of whom were loyal Republicans, the latter sought to build up a strong Southern wing of
their party. Many Freedmen's Bureau officials were interested not only in the welfare
of the freedman but in the growth of the Republican party as well. Moreover, missionary
5 groups and teachers from the North, who saw in the Republican party an instrument by
which the South could be saved from barbarism, supported it enthusiastically. It would
be incorrect, however, to conclude that these groups were primarily political in their
motives or activities. But the special agency that recruited Republicans, primarily
among blacks, was the Union League.
10 The Union League of America was organized in the North during the war. It did an
effective job in rallying support for the war wherever there was much opposition. Later
it branched out into the South to protect the fruits of Northern victory. As a protective
and benevolent society, it welcomed black members and catechized them on political
activity. As the Freedmen's Bureau and other Northern agencies grew in the South, the
15 Union League became powerful attracting a large number of blacks. With the
establishment of Radical Reconstruction, the league became the spearhead for Southern
Republicanism. Since black males were the most numerous enfranchised group in many
areas, the league depended on them for the bulk of Republican strength. Black women
also played a role in “getting out the vote” and in shaping political decisions in their
20 communities. In October 1867 a reporter for the New York Times noted the presence
of black women in the audience at local Republican and state constitutional conventions.
He and other observers were impressed that, in contrast to white women who were
quiet spectators at political meetings, black women shouted from the balconies, forcing
their voices into the debates. As Elsa Barkley Brown has pointed out: “African‐
25 American women in Virginia, Mississippi, South Carolina and elsewhere understood
themselves to have a vital stake in African‐American men's franchise”. The fact that
only men could exercise the franchise did not at all mean that women were not
involved.
By the fall of 1867 chapters of the league were all over the South. South Carolina
30 alone had eighty‐eight, and it was said that almost every black in the state was
enrolled. Ritual, secrecy, night meetings, and an avowed devotion to freedom and
equal rights made the league especially attractive to blacks. At elections they looked to
their chapters for guidance of voting. If they had any doubt about the straight
Republican ticket« the league had only to remind them that this was the party of
35 Abraham Lincoln and of deliverance. A vote for Democrats, they said, was a vote for
the return of slavery. During most of Reconstruction, the Union League and such
smaller organizations as the Lincoln Brotherhood and the Red Strings delivered the
black vote to the Republican party in national as well as state and local elections.

 The periodical cicadas, most notably Magicicada septendecim, have the longest
life cycle of any insect. Their unique life cycle begins underground, where the nymphs
patiently suck the juice from the roots of trees. Then, after 17 years of waiting, the
adult cicadas emerge from the ground, swarm in vast numbers, and temporarily swamp
5 the landscape. Within a few weeks they mate, lay their eggs, and die.
The question that puzzled biologists was. Why is the cicada's life cycle so long?
And is there any significance to the life cycle being a prime number of years? Another
species, Magicicada tredecim, swarms every 13 years, implying that life cycles lasting a
prime number of years offer some evolutionary advantage.
10 One theory suggests that the cicada has a parasite that also goes through a lengthy
life cycle and that the cicada is trying to avoid. If the parasite has a life cycle of, Say, 2
years then the cicada wants to avoid a life cycle that is divisible by 2, otherwise the
parasite and the cicada will regularly coincide. Similarly, if the parasite has a life cycle
of 3 years then the cicada wants to avoid a life cycle that is divisible by 3, otherwise the
15 parasite and the cicada will once again regularly coincide. Ultimately, to avoid meeting
its parasite, the cicadas' best strategy is to have a long life cycle lasting a prime number
of years. Because nothing will divide into 17, Magicicada septendecim will rarely meet
its parasite. If the parasite has a 2‐year life cycle they will meet only every 34 years,
and if it has a longer life cycle, say 16 years, then they will meet only every 272 (16 x
20 17) years.
In order to fight back, the parasite has only two life cycles that will increase the
frequency of coincidences —the annual cycle and the same 17‐year cycle as the cicada.
However, the parasite is unlikely to survive reappearing 17 years in a row, because for
the first 16 appearances there will be no cicadas for it to parasitize. On the other hand,
25 in order to reach the 17‐year life cycle, the generations of parasites would first have to
evolve through the 16‐year life cycle. This would mean at some stage of evolution the
parasite and cicada would not coincide for 272 years! In either case the cicada's long
prime life cycle protects it.
This might explain why the alleged parasite has never been found! In the race to
30 keep up with the cicada, the parasite probably kept extending its life cycle until it hit
the 16‐year hurdle. Then it failed to coincide for 272 years, by which time the lack of
coinciding with cicadas had driven it to extinction. The result is a cicada with a 17‐year
life cycle, which it no longer needs because its parasite no longer exists.
11. Scientists theorize that cicadas have a 17‐year life cycle because______.
(A) 17 years is the optimum length of time for cicadas to most efficiently use available food
and other resources in order to reproduce
(B) no parasite species can survive 17 years without reproducing
(C) it evolved as the most advantageous way for cicadas to co‐exist with a parasite that has
now become extinct
(D) it evolved as a successful defense against a parasite that no longer exists
(E) all insects have a life cycle lasting a number of years that is some randomly selected
prime number

12. Mafficicada tredecim probably has a 13‐year life cycle rather than a 17‐year one
because______.
(A) it is a less advanced species than Magicicada septendecim
(B) two species of cicada having the same life cycle would create unnecessary competition
for both species, so one evolved a different long prime number life cycle
(C) its parasite is still extant, so it cannot evolve a life cycle lasting so long
(D) its parasite became extinct so it had no need to evolve a life cycle lasting a longer prime
number of years
(E) it has a parasite with a 16‐year life cycle, which means that it will meet its parasite only
once every 208 (16 x 13) years

13. According to the theory described in the passage» which of the following statements is
NOT true?
(A) The cicada wants to decrease the frequency with which its life cycle coincides with its
parasite.
(B) The cicada's parasite wants to increase the frequency with which its life cycle coincides
with that of the cicadas.
(C) For the cicada's parasite, the longer the life cycle of the cicadas the better.
(D) To avoid meeting its parasite it is advantageous for the cicada to have a long life cycle.
(E) To avoid meeting its parasite it is advantageous for cicadas to have a life cycle lasting a
prime number of years.

14. Which of the following most accurately describes the explanation given in the passage
for the fact that Magicicada septendecim has a 17‐year life cycle?
(A) It is based on a scientific theory that has excellent theoretical and empirical support.
(B) It is based entirely on conjecture.
(C) It is based on a scientific theory that has good theoretical support but no real empirical
support.
(D) It is a mathematician's tongue‐in‐cheek attempt to offer a mathematical explanation for
a biological phenomenon that cannot be mathematically explained.
(E) It is based on a theory with excellent empirical support but almost no theoretical
support.

15. If an organism is discovered that parasitizes Magicicada septendecim it would______.

(A) totally invalidate the theory that Magieicada septendecim evolved a long life cycle
lasting a prime number of years to protect itself from a parasite
(B) demonstrate conclusively that Magicicada Septendectm evolved a long life cycle lasting a
 prime number of years in order to protect itself from a parasite
(C) suggest that the theory that Magicicada septendecim evolved a long life cycle lasting a
prime number of years to protect itself from a parasite is probably not true
(D) show conclusively that certain parasites can survive 272 years without a host to
parasitize
(E) suggest that parasites have evolved at a faster rate than cicadas

 Thomas. Chess, and Checkers stayed quiet for a long time. After a while, Chess
and Checkers started to sing a Flathead song of mourning. Fora wake, fora ‐wake.
Samuel was still alive, but Thomas sang along without hesitation. That mourning song
was B‐7 on every reservation jukebox.
5 After the song. Thomas stood and walked away from the table where his father lay
flat as a paper plate. He walked outside and cried. Not because he needed to be alone;
not because be was afraid to cry in front of women. He just wanted his tears to be individual,
not tribal. Those tribal tears collected and fermented in huge BIA [Bureau
of Indian Affairs] barrels. Then the BIA poured those tears into beer and Pepsi cans and
10 distributed them back onto the reservation. Thomas wanted his tears to be selfish and
fresh.
“Hello,” be said to the night sky. He wanted to say the first word of a prayer or a
joke. A prayer or a joke often sound alike on the reservation.
“Help,” he said to the ground. He knew the words to a million songs: Indian.
15 European. African. Mexican, Asian. He sang ''Stairway to Heaven" in four different
languages but never knew where that staircase stood. He sang the same Indian songs
continually but never sang them correctly. He warned to make his guitar sound like a
waterfall, like a spear striking salmon, but his guitar only sounded like a guitar. He
wanted the songs, the stories, to save everybody.

 An excerpt from a Dead Sea Scroll describing Abraham's sojourn in Egypt and the
beauty of Sarah, his wife, was recently made public for the first time. The 2.000‐year‐
old scrolls badly preserved and extremely brittle, is the last of seven scrolls found in
1947 in the caves of the Judean desert south of Jericho. Scholars say that this scroll
5 enlarges on the hitherto known Biblical tales of Lamech, Enoch, Noah, and Abraham.
This document of Hebrew University yielded decipherable contents only after
months of exposure to controlled humidity. The centuries had compressed the leather
scroll into a brittle, glued‐together mass. After it had been rendered flexible, the scroll
was folded into pages. Four complete pages, each with 34 lines of writing, resulted.
10 Besides this, scholars had for their studies large sections of the decipherable writing on
five other pages, and readable lines and words on additional pages. Scholars were
delighted, for they had almost despaired of recovering the scroll as a readable
document. The work of giving new life to the desiccated parchment and of unrolling it
was done by an old German expert on ancient materials, under the supervision of two
15 Israeli scholars.

 Thousands of species of birds exist today, and nearly every species has its own
special courtship procedures and “identification checks”. Identification checks are
important« because if birds of different species mate, any offspring will usually be
sterile or badly adapted to their surroundings.
5 Plumage often plays a key role in both identification and courtship. In breeding
Season, male birds often acquire distinctive plumage which they use to attract females
who will, in turn, only respond to males with the correct markings. In some species,
the females are more brightly colored* and the courtship roles are reversed. Distinctive
behavioral, changes can also be important aspects of courtship and breeding activity.
10 Aggressiveness between males, and sometimes between females, is quite common.
Some birds, like whooping cranes and trumpeter swans, perform wonderfully elaborate
courtship dances in which both sexes are enthusiastic participants.
Bird sounds are often a very central part of identification and courtship behavior
between individuals in a given species. When a female migrates in the spring to her
15 breeding region, she often encounters numerous birds of different species. By its
singing, the male of a species both identifies itself and communicates to females of that
species that it is in breeding condition. This information allows a female to predict a
male’s response to her approach. Later, after mating has taken place, the note patterns
of a particular male's song enable a nesting female to continue to identify her own partner.
32. The author implies that a bird engages in identification and courtship procedures mainly
