Paragraph Comprehension
convince readers of the stress on the mitral valve
*Your heart's mitral valve does an awfully big job. Letting blood from the left
atrium of the heart into the left ventricle without losing a drop is one of the
toughest task in the circulatory system. In fact, if the system was suddenly
opened at the point, the force of the valve closing would send blood five feet
in the air.
In this passage, the author's purpose is to
copper drew prospectors, copper ran out, town abandoned, tourist
attraction
*Riding the mail plane is a low-budget way to visit America's largest national
park -- Wrangell-St. Elias -- 13 million acres of scenic beauty. Copper first
drew prospectors to this part of Alaska. From 1911 to 1938, the Kennicott
mine produced 200 million tons of it. Now a mecca for tourist, the town of
Kennicott was abandoned to the ghosts when the copper ran out.
According to the passage, which of the following illustrates the correct
sequence of events?
How fast do stones of particular size fall?
*Physicists seek out those features of nature that are simple and universal.
The secret of their success is not so much a matter of finding answers as it
is asking the right questions. The trick is keeping the questions simple and
sticking to universal phenomena. Simple questions can be answered
unambiguously by careful observation of repeated experiments and by
logical thinking.
Which of the following questions is most clearly an example of the kind
discussed in the paragraph?
medical science does not fully understand why the body has an
allergic reaction to certain substance
*An allergy is a hypersensitivity to substances that are essentially harmless.
For as yet poorly understood reasons, the immune system malfunctions and
marshals up an army of antibodies to fight these substances. For many
allergies, this malfunction causes a large amount of histamine to flood into
