We are therefore usually able to see the microscopic structures of the bone, including such fine details as the lacunae where the living bone cells once resided. The natural bone mineral, the hydroxyapatite, is virtually unaltered too — it has the same crystal structure as that of modern bone.
What does the passage mainly Why is fossilized bone heavier than Why does the author compare fossils ordinary bone? A Bone tissue solidifies with age. C To suggest that fossils found in both places were the same age. D To explain why scientists are A joints B tissues What can be inferred about a fossil D modern bone with a high degree of mineralization?
A It was exposed to large amounts C moist C Many colorful crystals can be D apparent found in such a fossil. D It was discovered in western Canada. Which of the following does NOT survive in fossils?
Which of the following factors is most A Noncollagen proteins important in determining the extent of B Hydroxyapatite mineralization in fossil bones? In the last third of the nineteenth century a new housing form was quietly being developed. Each man had lived in Paris, and each understood the economics and social potential of this Parisian housing form.
But the Stuyvesant was at best a limited success. Those who could afford them were quite content to remain in the more sumptuous, single-family homes, leaving the Stuyvesant to young married couples 10 and bachelors. That lot was a rectangular area 25 feet wide by feet deep — a shape perfectly suited for a row house. The lot could also accommodate a 15 rectangular tenement, though it could not yield the square, well-lighted, and logically arranged rooms that great apartment buildings require.
But even with the awkward interior configurations of the early apartment buildings, the idea caught on. It met the needs of a large and growing population that wanted something better than tenements but could not afford or did not want row houses. In the closing decades of the nineteenth century, large apartment houses began dotting the developed portions of New York City, and by the opening decades of the twentieth century, spacious buildings, such as the Dakota and the Ansonia 25 finally transcended the tight confinement of row house building lots.
From there it was only a small step to building luxury apartment houses on the newly created Park Avenue, right next to the fashionable Fifth Avenue shopping area. The new housing form discussed in Why was the Stuyvesant a limited the passage refers to success?
A single-family homes A The arrangement of the rooms B apartment buildings was not convenient. C row houses B Most people could not afford to D hotels live there. C There were no shopping areas nearby. It can be inferred that the majority of A highly educated A Large families needed housing B unemployed with sufficient space.
The author mentions the Dakota and the Ansonia in line 24 because. A they are examples of large, well- designed apartment buildings B their design is similar to that of row houses C they were built on a single building A Its room arrangement was not logical.
B It was rectangular. C It was spacious inside. D It had limited light. Question 41 — A snowfall consists of myriads of minute ice crystals that fall to the ground in the form of frozen precipitation. The formation of snow begins with these ice crystals in the subfreezing strata of the middle and upper atmosphere when there is an adequate Line supply of moisture present.
At the core of every ice crystal is a minuscule nucleus, a 5 solid particle of matter around which moisture condenses and freezes. Liquid water droplets floating in the supercooled atmosphere and free ice crystals cannot coexist within the same cloud, since the vapor pressure of ice is less than that of water. This enables the ice crystals to rob the liquid droplets of their moisture and grow continuously. The process can be very rapid, quickly creating sizable ice crystals, some of which 10 adhere to each other to create a cluster of ice crystals or a snowflake.
Simple flakes possess a variety of beautiful forms, usually hexagonal, though the symmetrical shapes reproduced in most microscope photography of snowflakes are not usually found in actual snowfalls. Typically, snowflakes in actual snowfall consists of broken fragments and clusters of adhering ice crystals.
This moisture is supplied by the passage of an airstream over a water surface and its subsequent lifting to higher regions of the atmosphere.
The Pacific Ocean is the source of moisture for most snowfalls west of the Rocky Mountains, while the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean feed water vapor into the air currents over 20 the central and eastern sections of the United States. Other geographical features also can be the source of moisture for some snowstorms. For example, areas adjacent to the Great Lakes experience their own unique lake-effect storms, employing a variation of the process on a local scale.
In addition, mountainous section or rising terrain can initiate snowfalls by the geographical lifting of a moist airstream. Which of the following questions does A tiny A Why are snowflakes hexagonal? B quick B What is the optimum temperature C clear for snow? D sharp C In which months does most snow fall?
D How are snowflakes formed? What is at the center of an ice crystal? How do lake-effect snowstorms form? C Large quantities of wet air come off a nearby mountain. A belong B relate What is the main topic of the second C increase paragraph? D begin. A How ice crystals form B How moisture affects temperature Which of the following could account C What happens when ice crystals for the lack of snowfall in a melt geographical location close to D Where the moisture to supply the mountains and a major water source?
