Save a copy of the book for him as soon as it comes in Order more copies of the book Call the computer store across the street Find a store that sells the book if he cannot find it 4. How does the man react to the information the woman gives him about where computer science books are sold? He is embarrassed that he did not think of it himself. He suggests that the information be posted in the store He apologizes for bothering the woman. He is annoyed that the woman did not tell him sooner 5. Why does the woman say this To determine how urgent the student s need is To figure out why the book is not listed on the computer To find out what level computer science course the man is taking To explain why the book might be sold out 6.

Click on 2 answers She danced to contemporary musical compositions She wore free-flowing costumes She used set designs inspired by nature. She danced without shoes. 15. Why does the professor mention that Duncan watched Anna Pavlova practice? To help explain how Duncan’s opinion of ballet was formed To show how modern dance began to spread throughout the works To reinforce the importance of dancers working together To help explain why Duncan decided to become a professional dancer 16. What does the professor imply about the rivalry between classical ballet and modern dance? Audiences have generally been unaware of it. Critics tend to exaggerate Duncan's role in it It is not as strong now as it was in Duncan's lime. It increased as modern dance became more popular than classical ballet 17. Why does the professor say this To explain why Duncan was invited to perform in Russia To indicate that the Russian government strongly supported ballet To explain why there were more dance critics in Russia than in most other countries To help explain why Duncan’s style was not appreciated by some dance critics B(AC)CA B C(AD)C C D B (AB)B(BC)D C C B(AB)DBB B(BD)CADA (AD)C(BD)ACD 18. Why does the student go to speak with the professor? To discuss material that might be on the final exam To review his answers to the midterm exam To get information about a class he missed To find out about the services of the tutoring center 19. What does the professor tell the student about the tutoring center? Click on 2 answers It will have extended hours dying the final-exam period. It is located in a building near where he works He can improve his writing skills there. He can get help with geography there. 20. What aspect of the hydrologic cycle is the student confused about? How the process of evaporation works How topographical features affect precipitation How water vapor in the atmosphere becomes rain How lake water fits into the cycle 21. In the conversation, the professor describes the process that causes lake-effect snowstorms. Indicate whether each of the following is a step in the process YES NO Arctic air blows across a lake and picks up moisture Cold air temperatures cause lake water to freeze Frozen lake water cools me air above it Water vapor condenses and becomes snow Warm air rises when it reaches the shore 22. Why does the professor say this: To make sure the student knows he will have to be familiar with topographical features for the final exam To remind the student of a diagram that she presented in class To point out the severity of weather conditions near the lakeshore To reinforce the connection between her example and the student s question 23. What is the lecture mainly about? Theories about how large animals were able to survive the most recent ice age Environmental changes that occur following an ice age Theories about the hunting methods used by early humans in North America Explanations for the disappearance of large animals in North America 24. Why does the professor mention an archaeological site in Southern California? To present evidence that supports the hunting theory To present evidence that mammoths migrated southward to avoid cold winters To point out that mammoth bones are usually found near human debris To demonstrate that large animals were able to survive in a variety of habitats 25. What is the professor's opinion about the Clovis people? Their excessive hunting of mammoths was responsible for the extinction of these animals Their lack of tools for processing meat contradicts the hunting theory. They were less accomplished at hunting mammoths than the hunting theory suggests. They were probably too afraid of large animals to hunt them. 26. According to the climate change theory, how did the climate change at the end of the ice age make it more difficult for large animals to survive? Click on 2 answers By reducing the size of their habitats By forcing them to endure a wider range of temperatures By reducing the variety of food available to them By forcing them to live near humans 27. What does the professor imply is one problem with the climate change theory? Many large animals actually benefitted from the climate change Large animals had survived previous climate changes Large animals were probably already near extinction before the climate changed. New evidence suggests that the climate change was not as extreme as scientists once believed 28. The professor mentions a series of computer simulations. What did the simulations suggest? Click on 2 answers The killing of only a few mammoths could lead to a significant reduction in the mammoth population. Many mammoths died as the result of an extended drought. Female mammoths were less able than male mammoths to adapt to climate change Both hunting and climate change contributed to the extinction of the mammoths 29. What is the lecture mainly about? Conclusions about the surface of Venus drawn from recent observations The different types of volcanoes that have been found on Venus Similarities between geologic processes on Venus and on other planets New methods used to observe the surface of Venus 30. How were scientists able to learn new information about Venus' surface? Click on 2 answers More powerful telescopes allowed astronomers to see more surface details Satellites were used to get radar images of Venus' surface. Space modules sent photographs after landing on Venus. A space probe was able to locate gaps among Venus' clouds 31. What differences between volcanoes on Venus and those on Earth does the professor mention? Click on 2 answers Volcanoes on Venus are mostly shield volcanoes Volcanoes on Venus emit thicker lava Many volcanoes on Earth are concentrated in specific zones. Many volcanoes on Earth show no volcanic activity 32. Why does the professor mention the fact that Venus has no surface water? To give an example of a discovery that was unexpected To illustrate the consequences of intense volcanic activity To question a theory about the origin of shield volcanoes To suggest an explanation for why Venus does not have moving tectonic plates 33. According to the professor, what is a possible origin of Venus' clouds? Gases released as a result of volcanic activity Chemical reactions caused by high surface temperatures Bursts of radio energy from the plane's surface Strong winds that blow dust into the atmosphere 34. What is the professor’s opinion about the theory that Venus' volcanoes are active? The theory has recently been proved by direct observation At least two kinds of evidence support the theory The data collected so far about the theory are contradictory New findings have made the theory quite unlikely.
