As Gilbert White, Darwin, and others
observed long ago, all species appear to
have the innate capacity to increase
their numbers from generation to
(5) generation. The task for ecologists is
to untangle the environmental and
biological factors that hold this
intrinsic capacity for population growth
in check over the long run. The great
(10) variety of dynamic behaviors exhibited
by different populations makes this task
more difficult: some populations remain
roughly constant from year to year;
others exhibit regular cycles of
(15) abundance and scarcity; still others
vary wildly, with outbreaks and crashes
that are in some cases plainly
correlated with the weather, and in
other cases not.
(20) To impose some order on this
kaleidoscope of patterns, one school of
thought proposes dividing populations
into two groups. These ecologists posit
that the relatively steady populations
(25) have "density-dependent" growth
parameters; that is, rates of birth,
death, and migration which depend
strongly on population density. The
highly varying populations have
(30) "density-independent" growth parameters,
with vital, rates buffeted by
environmental events; these rates
fluctuate in a way that is wholly
independent of population density.
(35) This dichotomy has its uses, but it
can cause problems if taken too
literally. For one thing, no population
can be driven entirely by
density-independent factors all the
(40) time. No matter how severely or
unpredictably birth, death and migration
rates may be fluctuating around their
long-term averages, if there were no
density-dependent effects, the
(45) population would, in the long run,
either increase or decrease without
bound (barring a miracle by which gains
and losses canceled exactly). Put
another way, it may be that on average
(50) 99 percent of all deaths in a population
arise from density-independent causes,
and only one percent from factors
varying with density. The factors
making up the one percent may seem
(55) unimportant, and their cause may be
correspondingly hard to determine. Yet,
whether recognized or not, they will
usually determine the long-term average
population density.
(60) In order to understand the nature of
the ecologist's investigation, we may
think of the density-dependent effects
on growth parameters as the "signal"
ecologists are trying to isolate and
(65) interpret, one that tends to make the
population increase from relatively low
values or decrease from relatively high
ones, while the density-independent
effects act to produce "noise" in the
(70) population dynamics. For populations
that remain relatively constant, or that
oscillate around repeated cycles, the
signal can be fairly easily
characterized and its effects described,
(75) even though the causative biological
mechanism may remain unknown. For
irregularly fluctuating populations, we
are likely to have too few observations
to have any hope of extracting the
(80) signal from the overwhelming noise. But
it now seems clear that all populations
are regulated by a mixture of
density-dependent and density-
independent effects in varying proportions.

In Raisin in the Sun, Lorraine
Hansberry does not reject integration or
the economic and moral progress of the
American dream; rather, she remains
(5) loyal to this dream while looking,
realistically, at its incomplete
realization. Once we recognize this
dual vision, we can accept the play's
ironic nuances as deliberate social
(10) commentaries by Hansberry rather than
as the "unintentional" irony that Bigsby
attributes to the work. Indeed a
curiously persistent refusal to credit
Hansberry with a capacity for
(15) intentional irony has led some critics
to interpret the play's thematic
conflicts as mere confusion,
contradiction, or eclecticism. Isaacs,
for example, cannot easily reconcile
(20) Hansberry's intense concern for her race
with her ideal of human reconciliation.
But the play's complex view of Black
self-esteem and human solidarity as
compatible is no more "contradictory"
(25) than Du Bois' famous, well-considered
ideal of ethnic self-awareness
coexisting with human unity, or Fanon's
emphasis on an ideal internationalism
that also accommodates national
(30) identities and roles.
24.
The author’s primary purpose in this passage is to
(A) explain some critics’ refusal to consider Raisin in the Sun a deliberately ironic play
(B) suggest that ironic nuances ally Raisin in the Sun with Du Bois’ and Fanon’s writings
(C) analyze the fundamental dramatic conflicts in Raisin in the Sun
(D) justify the inclusion of contradictory elements in Raisin in the Sun(E)
(E) affirm the thematic coherence underlying Raisin in the Sun
25.
It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes which of the following about Hansberry’s use of irony in Raisin in the Sun?
(A) It derives from Hansberry’s eclectic approach to dramatic structure.
(B) It is justified by Hansberry’s loyalty to a favorable depiction of American life.
(C) It is influenced by the themes of works by Du Bois and Fanon.
(D) It is more consistent with Hansberry’s concern for Black Americans than with her ideal of human reconciliation.(E)
(E) It reflects Hansberry’s reservations about the extent to which the American dream has been realized.
26.
In which of the following does the author of the passage reinforce his criticism of responses such as Isaacs’ to Raisin in the Sun?
(A) The statement that Hansberry is “loyal” (line 3) to the American dream
(B) The description of Hansberry’s concern for Black Americans as “intense” (line 13)
(C) The assertion that Hansberry is concerned with “human solidarity” (line 15)
(D) The description of Du Bois’ ideal as “well-considered” (line 17)(D)
(E) The description of Fanon’s internationalism as “ideal” (line 19)
27.
The author of the passage would probably consider which of the following judgments to be most similar to the reasoning of critics described in lines 8-12?
(A) The world is certainly flat; therefore, the person proposing to sail around it is unquestionably foolhardy.
(B) Radioactivity cannot be directly perceived; therefore, a scientist could not possibly control it in a laboratory.
(C) The painter of this picture could not intend it to be funny, therefore, its humor must result from a lack of skill.
(D) Traditional social mores are beneficial to culture; therefore, anyone who deviates from them acts destructively.(C)
(E) Filmmakers who produce documentaries deal exclusively with facts; therefore, a filmmaker who reinterprets particular events is misleading us.

Some recent historians have argued
that life in the British colonies in
America from approximately 1763 to 1789
was marked by internal conflicts among
(5) colonists. Inheritors of some of the
viewpoints of early twentieth-century
Progressive historians such as Beard and
Becker, these recent historians have put
forward arguments that deserve
(10) evaluation.
The kind of conflict most emphasized
by these historians is class conflict.
Yet with the Revolutionary War
dominating these years, how does one
(15) distinguish class conflict within that
larger conflict? Certainly not by the
side a person supported. Although many
of these historians have accepted the
earlier assumption that Loyalists
(20) represented an upper class, new evidence
indicates that Loyalists, like rebels,
were drawn from all socioeconomic
classes. (It is nonetheless probably
true that a larger percentage of the
(25) well-to-do joined the Loyalists than
joined the rebels.) looking at the rebel
side, we find little evidence for the
contention that lower-class rebels were
in conflict with upper-class rebels.
(30) Indeed, the war effort against Britain
tended to suppress class conflicts.
Where it did not, the disputing rebels
of one or another class usually became
Loyalists. Loyalism thus operated as a
(35) safety valve to remove socioeconomic
discontent that existed among the
rebels. Disputes occurred, of course,
among those who remained on the rebel
side, but the extraordinary social
(40) mobility of eighteenth-century American
society (with the obvious exception of
slaves) usually prevented such disputes
from hardening along class lines.
Social structure was in fact so
(45) fluid-though recent statistics suggest a
narrowing of economic opportunity as the
latter half of the century
progressed-that to talk about social
classes at all requires the use of loose
(50) economic categories such as rich, poor,
and middle class, or eighteenth-century
designations like "the better sort."
Despite these vague categories, one
should not claim unequivocally that
(55) hostility between recognizable classes
cannot be legitimately observed.
Outside of New York, however, there were
very few instances of openly expressed
class antagonism.
(60) Having said this, however, one must
add that there is much evidence to
support the further claim of recent
historians that sectional conflicts were
common between 1763 and 1789. The
(65) "Paxton Boys" incident and the Regulator
movement are representative examples
of the widespread, and justified,
discontent of western settlers against
colonial or state governments dominated
(70) by eastern interests. Although
undertones of class conflict existed
beneath such hostility, the opposition
was primarily geographical. Sectional
conflict-which also existed between
(75) North and South-deserves further
investigation.
In summary, historians must be careful
about the kind of conflict they
emphasize in eighteenth-century America.
(80) Yet those who stress the achievement of
a general consensus among the colonists
cannot fully understand that consensus
without understanding the conflicts that
had to be overcome or repressed in order
(85) to reach it.
17.

(A) potentially verifiable
(B) partially justified
(C) logically contradictory
(D) ingenious but flawed(B)
(E) capricious and unsupported

(C) make a case for the importance of the views of the Progressive historians concerning eighteenth-century American life

(E) point out historians whose views of history anticipated some of the views of the recent historians mentioned in the passage
19.
According to the passage, Loyalism during the American Revolutionary War served the function of
(A) eliminating the disputes that existed among those colonists who supported the rebel cause
(B) drawing upper, as opposed to lower, socioeconomic classes away from the rebel cause
(C) tolerating the kinds of socioeconomic discontent that were not allowed to exist on the rebel side
(D) channeling conflict that existed within a socioeconomic class into the war effort against the rebel cause(E)

(A) I and IV only
(B) II and III only
(C) III and IV only
(D) I, II, and III only(B)
(E) I, II, III, and IV
21.
It can be inferred from the passage that the author would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements regarding socioeconomic class and support for the rebel and Loyalist causes during the American Revolutionary War?
(A) Identifying a person’s socioeconomic class is the least accurate method of ascertaining which side that person supported.
(B) Identifying a person as a member of the rebel or of the Loyalist side does not necessarily reveal that person’s particular socioeconomic class.
(C) Both the rebel and the Loyalist sides contained members of all socioeconomic classes, although there were fewer disputes among socioeconomic classes on the Loyalist side.
(D) Both the rebel and the Loyalist sides contained members of all socioeconomic classes, although the Loyalist side was made up primarily of members of the upper classes.(B)
(E) Both the rebel and the Loyalist sides contained members of all socioeconomic classes, although many upper-class rebels eventually joined the Loyalists.

(C) The governments were less representative than they had been before 1763.
(D) The governments were dominated by the interests of people of an upper socioeconomic class.(A)
(E) The governments of the northern colonies were less representative than were the governments of the southern colonies.

(E) These conflicts were motivated by class conflicts.
Since 1953, many experimental attem-
pts to synthesize the chemical consti-
tuents of life under "primitive Earth condi-
tions" have been performed, but none
(5) of the these experiments has produced
anything approaching complexity
of the simplest organism. They have
demonstrated, however, that a variety of
the complex molecules currently making
(10) up living organisms could have been
present in the early ocean and
atmosphere, with only one limitation:
such molecules are synthesized far less
readily when oxygen-containing
(15) compounds dominate the atmosphere.
Therefore some scientists postulate
that the Earth's earliest atmosphere,
unlike that of today, was dominated by
hydrogen, methane, and ammonia.
(20)
From these studies, scientists have
concluded that the surface of the
primitive Earth was covered with oceans
containing the molecules fundamental to
(25) life. Although, at present, scientists
cannot explain how these relatively
small molecules combined to produce
larger, more complex molecules, some
scientists have precipitously ventured
(30) hypotheses that attempt to explain the
development, from lager molecules, of
the earliest self-duplicating organisms.
24.
According to the passage, which of the following can be inferred about the process by which the chemical constituents of life were synthesized under primitive Earth conditions?
(A) The synthesis is unlikely to occur under current atmospheric conditions.
(B) The synthesis is common in modern laboratories.
(C) The synthesis occurs more readily in the atmosphere than in the ocean.
(D) The synthesis easily produces the most complex organic molecules.(A)
(E) The synthesis is accelerated by the presence of oxygen-containing compounds.
25.
The primary purpose of the passage is to
(A) point out that theories about how life developed on Earth have changed little since 1953
(B) warn of increasing levels of hydrogen, methane, and ammonia in the Earth’s atmosphere
(C) describe the development since 1953 of some scientists’ understanding of how life began on Earth
(D) demonstrate that the synthesis of life in the laboratory is too difficult for modern technology(C)
(E) describe how primitive atmospheric conditions produced the complex molecules of living organisms
26.
It can be inferred from the passage that “some scientists” assume which of the following concerning “larger, more complex molecules” (line 20)?
(A) The earliest atmosphere was formed primarily of these molecules.
(B) Chemical processes involving these molecules proceeded much more slowly under primitive Earth conditions.
(C) The presence of these molecules would necessarily precede the existence of simple organisms.
(D) Experimental techniques will never be sufficiently sophisticated to produce in the laboratory simple organisms from these chemical constituents.(C)
(E) Explanations could easily be developed to explain how simple molecules combined to form these more complex ones.
