For hundreds of years in the early history of America, pirates sailed through coastal waters, pillaging and plundering all in their path. They stole from other ships and stole from coastal towns; not content only to steal, they destroyed everything they could not carry away. Some of the pirate ships amassed large treasures, the fates of which are unknown, leaving people of today to wonder at their where about and to dream of one day coming across some lost treasure. One notoriously large treasure was on the pirate ship Whidah, which sank in the waters off Cape Cod during a strong storm in 1717. A hundred of the crew members went down with the ship, along with its treasure of coins, gold, silver, and jewels. The treasure on board had an estimated value, on today's market, of more than 100 million dollars. The remains of the Whidah were discovered in 1984 by Barry Clifford, who had spent years of painstaking research and tireless searching, only finally to locate the ship about 500 yards from shore. A considerable amount of treasure from the centuries-old ship has been recovered from its watery grave, but there is clearly still a lot more out there. Just as a reminder of what the waters off the coast have been protecting for hundreds of years, occasional pieces of gold or silver or jewels still wash up on the beaches and lucky beach-goers find pieces of the treasure. QUESTION: 11.The passage mainly discusses...

It is a characteristic of human nature that people like to get together and have fun, and people living during America's frontier days were no exception. However, because life was hard and the necessities of day-to-day living took up their time, it was common for recreation to be combined with activities necessary for survival. One example of such a form of recreation was logrolling. Many frontier areas were heavily wooded, and in order to settle an area it was necessary to remove the trees. A settler could cut down the trees alone, but help was needed to move the cut tress. After a settler had cut a bunch of tress, he would then invite his neighbors over for a logrolling. A logrolling was a community event where families got together for a combination of of work and fun. The women would bring food and have a much needed and infrequent opportunity to relax and chat with friends, the children would play together exuberantly, and the men would hold lively competition that involved rolling logs from place to place as quickly as possible. This was a day of fun for everyone involved, but at its foundation was the need to clear the land. QUESTION: 21.The main idea of the passage is that in America's frontier days...

(A) People combined work with recreation

(B) People cleared land by rolling logs

(C) It was necessary for early settlers to clear the land

(D) A logrolling involved the community

Most people picture sharks as huge, powerful, frightening predators, ready at any moment to use their sharp teeth tp attack unwary swimmers without provocation. There are numerous fallacies. however, in this conception of sharks. First, there are about 350 species of shark, and not all of them are large. They range in size from the dwarf shark, which can be only 6 inches (0,5 feet) long and can be held in the palm of then hand, to the whale shark, which can be more than 55 feet long. A second fallacy concerns the number and type of teeth, which can vary tremendously among the different species of shark. A shark can have from one to seven sets of teeth at the same time, and some types of shark can have several hundred teeth in each jaw. It is true that the fierce and predatory species do posses extremely sharp and brutal teeth used to rip the prey apart; many other types of shark, however, have teeth more adapted to grabbing and holding than to cutting and slashing. Finally, not all sharks are predatory animals ready to strike out at humans on the least whim. In fact, only 12 of the 350 species of shark have been known to attack human, and a shark needs to be provoked in order to attack. The types of shark that have the worst record with humans are the tiger shark, the bull shark and the great white shark. However, for most species of shark, even some of the largest types, there are known instances of attack on humans. QUESTION: 31.The author's main purpose in the passage is to...

(A) Categorize the different kinds of sharks throughout the world

(B) Warn the humans of the dangers posed by sharks

(C) Describe the characteristics of shark teeth

(D) Clear up misconceptions about sharks

Quite different from storm surges are the giant waves called Tsunamis, which derive their name from Japanese expression for "high water in a harbor". These waves are also referred to by the general public as tidal waves, although they have relatively little to do with tides. Scientist often refer to them as seismic sea waves, far more appropriate in that they do result from undersea seismic activity. Tsunami are caused when the sea bottom suddenly moves, during an underwater earthquake or volcano, for example, and the water above the moving earth is suddenly displaced. This sudden shift of water sets off a series of waves. These waves can travel great distances at speed close to 700 Kilometers per hour. In the open ocean, tsunamis have little noticeable amplitude, often no more than one or two meters. it is when they hit the shallow waters near the coast that they increase in height, possibly up to 40 meters. Tsunamis often occur in the Pacific because the Pacific is an area of heavy seismic activity. Two areas of the Pacific well accustomed to the threat of tsunamis are Japan and Hawaii. Because the seismic activity that causes tsunamis in Japan often occurs on the ocean bottom quite close to the islands, the tsunamis that hit Japan often come with little warning and can therefore prove disastrous. Most of the tsunamis that hit the Hawaiian islands, however, originate thousands of miles away near the coast of Alaska, so these tsunamis have much greater distance to travel and the inhabitants of Hawaii generally have time for warning of their imminent arrival. Tsunamis are certainly not limited to Japan and Hawaii. 1755, Europe experienced a calamitous tsunami, when movement along the fault lines near the Azores caused massive tsunami to sweep onto Portuguese coast and flood the heavily populated area around Lisbon. The greatest tsunami on record occured on the other side of the world in 1883 when the Krakatoa volcano underwent a massive explosion, sending waves more than 30 meters high onto nearby Indonesian island; the tsunami from this volcano actually traveled around the world and was witnessed as far away as the English Channel. QUESTION: 42. According to the passage, all of the following are true about tidal waves except that...

(A)They are the same as tsunamis

(B) They are caused by sudden changes in high and low tides

(C) This terminology is not used by scientific community

(D) They refer to the same phenomenon as seismic sea waves

(A) Cause severe damage in the middle of the ocean

(B) Generally reach heights greater than 40 meters

(C) Are far more dangerous on the coast than the open ocean

(D) Are often identified by ships on the the ocean

(A) Occured before efficient records were kept

(B) Was not as strong as the tsunami in Lisbon

The sign that was constructed at the time and its site were donated to thecity in 1945, the last four letters were removed.

The sign suffered from years of disrepair, and in 1973 it needed to be completely replaced, at a cost of $27,700 per letter. Various celebrities were instrumental in helping to raise needed funds. Rock star ALice Cooper, for example, bough an O in memory of Groucho Marx, and Hugh Hefner of Playboy fame held a benefit party to raise the money for the Y.
