Perhaps the most important food to the ancient (and modern) Greeks was the olive. It was not simply a food. It was also a big part of Greek history. Greeks believed that the goddess Athena gave the first olive tree to Athens before it eventually spread to the rest of Greece. Olives were used in many recipes. Olives were also crushed and their oil was used for lamps. Olive oil could also be used as a beauty product. Women rubbed into their skin to make it soft and shiny.

According to the passage, Greeks believed that the first olive tree was given to them by:

a)

Athena

b)

Ares

c)

Zeus

d)

Jupiter

Before they vanished from the face of the earth, the Nazca people of Peru left a series of geoglyphs (or motifs made into the ground) that have mystified scientists for years. Known as the Nazca lines, the geoglyphs are sometimes simple, appearing almost like a child’s stick-figure drawings. Others, however, are more stylized and complex. Their purpose remains a mystery.

According to the passage, the Nazca people were located in:

a)

Bolivia

b)

Brazil

c)

Ecuador

d)

Peru

35.

Morgan developed a new rocket fuel called hydyne. It was the first American rocket fuel that was powerful enough to launch a satellite into space. Combined with liquid oxygen, hydyne gave rockets ten percent more thrust. The new fuel was used to launch the first US rocket into space, Explorer 1. Although Morgan’s role in hydyne’s development was so highly classified that even Wernher von Braun, the scientist overseeing the project, did not know her name, it’s likely that the American space program would have lagged years behind if not for the abilities of Mary Sherman Morgan.

The author's main point in writing the passage seems to be:

a)

to explain how hydyne gives rockets more thrust

b)

to explain Wernher von Braun's importance

c)

to explain Mary Sherman Morgan's contributions to the space program

d)

to explain how rockets worked

Dolphins are regarded as the friendliest creatures in the sea and stories of them helping drowning sailors have been common since Roman times. The more we learn about dolphins, the more we realize that their society is more complex than people previously imagined. They look after other dolphins when they are ill, care for pregnant mothers and protect the weakest in the community, as we do. Some scientists have suggested that dolphins have a language but it is much more probable that they communicate with each other without needing words. Could any of these mammals be more intelligent than man? Certainly the most common argument in favor of man's superiority over them that we can kill them more easily than they can kill us is the least satisfactory. On the contrary, the more we discover about these remarkable creatures, the less we appear superior
It is clear from the passage that dolphins ----.
a)
don't want to be with us as much as we want to be with them
b)
are proven to be less intelligent than once thought
c)
have a reputation for being friendly to humans
d)
are the most powerful creatures that live in the oceans
