Passage 147

Our study revealed that nest-guarding long-tailed skinks (a species of lizard)

homed (returned to their nests) more successfully when displaced shorter distances.

There are two reasons why homing success rates decreased with increasing

displacement distance. One possibility is that females were simply displaced too far

to find their way home. However, this is unlikely given that some individuals

managed to find their way home from each distance we used. The second

possibility deals with trade-offs between the risks associated with making a long

return trip and the benefits of returning. Animals should expend energy only when

the associated costs are low. As reptiles increase the time spent moving, their daily

energy expenditure increases dramatically. The energetic costs of returning home

and the chances that the eggs will have been preyed upon during the return trip both

increase substantially as displacement distance increases. For example, the 130

hours (5.5 days) that female skinks spent returning from a distance of 300 meters is

sufficient for an egg-eating snake to locate and prey upon the entire clutch. However,

females with larger clutches were more likely to home at distances over 50 meters.

For these females, the relative fitness benefits associated with having more eggs

successfully hatch may outweigh the energetic costs of returning to a nest site, even

D. willing

E. eager

F. loath

if the nest may have already been preyed upon.

C. discuss the importance of homing for long-tailed skinks

D. describe the relationship between clutch size and homing success in

long-tailed skinks

E. identify the benefits of a behavior common among long-tailed skinks

claim in the highlighted sentence assumes which of the following about

the individuals that managed to find their way home from each distance?

A. They were less able to detect egg-eating predators than were the other

long-tailed skinks studied.

B. They were more averse to risk than were the other long-tailed skinks studied

C. They expended less energy when homing than did the other long-tailed

skinks studied.

D. They did not possess better homing skills than did the other long-tailed skinks

studied.

studied.

B. They were unable to find their way home.

Passage 135

The revival of mural painting that has occurred in San Francisco since the 1970s,

especially among the Chicano population of the city’s Mission District, has marked

differences from its social realist forerunner in Mexico and the United States some 40

years earlier. Rather than being government sponsored and limited to murals on

government buildings, the contemporary mural movement sprang from the people

themselves, with murals appearing on community buildings and throughout college

campuses. Perhaps the biggest difference, however, is the process. In earlier

twentieth-century Mexico, murals resulted from the vision of individual artists. But

today’s murals are characteristically the products of artists working with local

residents on design and creation.

Such community engagement is characteristic of the Chicano art movement as a

whole, which evolved from the same foundations as the Chicano civil rights

movement of the mid-1960s. Both were a direct response to the needs of Chicanos

in the United States, who were fighting for the right to adequate education, political

empowerment, and decent working conditions. Artists joined other cultural workers

in making political statements and played a key role in taking these statements to the

public. They developed collectives and established cultural centers that functioned as

the public-relations arm of the Chicano sociopolitical movement.

Passage 26

Cuts that need to be held closed in order to heal properly have generally been

held closed with stitches. However, pressure to reduce medical costs is mounting.

Consequently, it is likely that a newly developed adhesive will become the routine

method of holding most types of cuts closed. The new adhesive holds most types of

cuts closed as well as stitches do, and the cost of applying it is comparable to that of

closing cuts with stitches. But whereas stitches must generally be removed by

medical personnel after the cut has healed, the adhesive simply wears off. Thus, for

any cut that the adhesive can hold closed as well as stitches can, it is more

economical to use the adhesive.

Passage 142

Many theorists now doubt that heat loss from Earth’s core and radioactive

decay are sufficient by themselves to produce all the energy driving the tectonic

plates whose movements have helped shaped Earth’s surface. This leaves a loose end

in current geological theory. Herbert Shaw argues that because scientists have

underestimated the input of substantial amounts of energy from extraterrestrial

impactors (asteroids and comets striking Earth), they have difficulty accounting for

the difference between the quantity of energy produced from sources intrinsic to

Earth and that involved in plate tectonics. Whereas most geologists have treated the

addition of energy through the bombardment of Earth’s surface by such impactors as

a process separate and independent from the movement of Earth’s tectonic plates,

Shaw asserts that these processes are indivisible. Shaw’s revolutionary “open-system”

view recognizes a continuum between terrestrial and extraterrestrial dynamics,

whereas modern plate tectonic theory, like the classical geology developed during

the nineteenth century, is founded on the view that Earth’s geological features have

changed through gradual, regular processes intrinsic to Earth, without reference to

unique catastrophic events. Classical geology borrowed a decisive, if unspoken,

premise from Newton—the independence of Earth’s processes from any

astronomical context.
