The settle***nt of the Unites States has o***upi*** traditional his***rians s***ce 1893 when Fr***er***k Jackson Tur***r develop*** his Frontier Theses, a thesis that expla****** USAn develop***nt *** terms of westward expansion. From the perspective of wo***n's his***ry, Tur***r's exclusively mascu****** assumptions ***nstitute a maj*** drawback; his defenders and crit***s a***ke h**e re***nstruct*** ***n's, not wo***n's, ***ves on the frontier. However, precisely bec***se of this mascu****** on ***ientation, re***s***g the Frontier Thesis by focus***g on wo***n's experience ***troduces ***w the***s ****** wo***n's his***ry-wo***n as lawmaker and entrepre***ur-and, ***nsequently, ***w ***terpretations of wo***n's relationship *** capital, lab***, and statute.
Tur***r clai***d that the frontier produc*** the ***di***dua***sm that is the hallmark of USAn cu***ure, and that this ***di***dua***sm *** turn promot*** democrat*** ***stitutions and e***nom*** equa***ty. He argu*** f*** the frontier as an agent of social change. Most nove***sts and his***rians writ***g *** the early *** midtwentiech century who ***nsider*** wo***n *** the West, when they ***nsider*** wo***n at all, fell under Tur***r's spell. In their w***ks these ***th***s tend*** *** gl***ify wo***n's ***ntributions *** frontier ***fe. Western wo***n, *** Tur***rian tradition, were a fiercely ***dependent, capable, and durable lot, free from the ***nstra***ts b***d***g their eastern sisters. In their w***ks these ***th***s tend*** *** gl***ify wo***n's ***ntributions *** frontier ***fe. Western wo***n, *** Tur***rian tradition, were a fiercely ***dependent, capable, and durable lot, free from the ***nstra***ts b***d***g their eastern sisters. This ***terpretation imp****** that the West pro***d*** a ***ngenial en***ron***nt where wo***n ***uld aspire *** their own ***als, free from ***nstr***tive stereotypes and sexist attitudes. In Tur***rian term***ology, the frontier had furnish*** “a gate of escape from the bondage of the past.”
By the middle of the twentieth century, the Frontier Thesis fell ****** di******* among his***rians. Later, Reactionist writers ***ok the ***ew that frontier wo***n were lo***ly, displac*** persons *** a hostile mi****** that ***tensifi*** the w***st aspects of gender relations.

Passage 2
Japa***se firms h**e achiev*** the highest levels of manufactur***g eff***iency *** the would ******mobile ***dustry. So*** observers of Japan h**e assu***d that Japa***se as Unit*** States firms but h**e be***fit*** from the unique characterist***s of Japa***se employees and the Japa***se cu***ure. However, if this were true, then o*** would expect Japa***se ****** plants *** the Unit*** States *** perf***m no better than fac***ries run by Unit*** States ***mpanies. This is not the case, Japa***se-run ******mobile plants locat*** *** the Unit*** States and staff*** by local w***kers h**e demonstrat*** higher levels of producti***ty when ***mpar*** with fac***ries ow***d by Unit*** States ***mpanies.
Other observers ***nk high Japa***se producti***ty *** higher levels of capital ***vest***nt per w***ker. But a his***r***al perspective leads *** a different ***nclusion. When the two ***p Japa***se ******mobile makers match*** and then doubl*** Unit*** States producti***ty levels *** the mid-sixties, capital ***vest***nt per employee was ***m-parable *** that of Unit*** States firms. Furtherm***e, by the late seventies, the amount of fix*** assets requir*** *** produce o*** veh***le was roughly equivalent *** Japan and *** the Unit*** States. S***ce capital ***vest***nt was not higher *** Japan, it had *** be other fac***rs that l*** *** higher producti***ty.
A m***e fruitful explanation may ***e with Japa***se production techniques. Japa***se ******-mobile producers did not simply imple***nt ***nventional processes m***e effectively: they made crit***al changes *** Unit*** States proc***ures. F*** ***stance , the mass-production philosophy of Unit*** States ******-makers en***urag*** the production of huge lots of cars *** ***der *** uti***ze fully expensive, ***mpo***nt specif*** equip***nt and *** ***py fully w***kers who h**e been tra****** *** execute o*** operation eff***iently. Japa***se ******-makers chose *** make small-lot production feasible by ***troduc***g several departures from Unit*** States pract***es, ***clud***g the use of flexible equip***nt that ***uld be a***er*** easily *** do several different production tasks and the tra******g of w***kers *** mu***iple jobs.
Au***makers ***uld sch***ule the production of different ***mpo***nts *** models on s***gle mach***es, thereby e***m***at***g the ****** *** s***re the buffer s***cks of extra ***mpo***nts that resu*** when specia***z*** equip***nt and w***kers are kept ***nstantly active.

(B) The cu***ure of a ***untry has a large effect on the producti***ty levels of its ******makers.
(C) Dur***g the late 1970's and early 1980's, producti***ty levels were ***mparable *** Japan and the Unit*** States.
(D) The greater the number of cars that are produc*** *** a s***gle lot, the higher a plant's producti***ty level.
(E) The amount of capital ***vest***nt made by ******mobile manufacturers *** their fac***ries determ***es the level of producti***ty.
4. A******d***g *** the passage, wh***h of the follow***g state***nts is true of Japa***se ******mobile w***kers?

Passage 3
Joseph Glatthaar's F***g*** *** Battle is not the first excellent study of Black soldiers and their White off***ers *** the Ci***l War, but it uses m***e soldiers' letters and diaries-***clud***g rare material from Black soldier-and ***ncentrates m***e ***tensely on Black-White relations *** Black regi***nts than do any of its pr***ecess***s. Glatthaar's title expresses his thesis: loya***y, friendship, and respect among White off***ers and Black soldiers were foster*** by the mutual dangers they fac*** *** ***mbat.
Glatthaar a***urately describes the ***vern***nt's discrim***a***ry treat***nt of Black soldiers *** pay, promotion, ***d***al care, and job assign***nts, appropriately emphasiz***g the campaign by Black soldiers and their off***ers *** get the opp***tunity *** fight. That chance rema****** ***mit*** through out the war by army po***cies that kept most Black units ser***ng *** rear-echelon assign***nts and w***k***g *** lab*** batta***ons. Thus, while their ***mbat death rate was o***y o***- third that of while units, their m***ta***ty rate from disease, a maj*** killer *** this war, was tw***e as great. Despite these obstacles, the ***urage and effective***ss of several Black units *** ***mbat won ***creas***g respect from ***itially skept***al *** hostile White soldiers. As o*** White off***er put it, “they h**e fought their way ****** the respect of all the army.”(L***e25) In try***g *** demonstrate the magnitude of this attitud***al change, however, Glatthaar seems *** exaggerate the prewar racism of the White ***n who beca*** off***ers *** Black regi***nts.“ Pri*** *** the war,” He writes of these ***n, “***rtually all of them held powerful racial prejud***es.” While perhaps true of those off***ers who jo****** Black units f*** promotion *** other self-ser***ng motives, this state***nt misrepresents the attitudes of the many abo***tionists who beca*** off***ers *** Black regi***nts. H*****g spent years fight***g aga***st the race prejud***e endem*** *** USAn society, they part***ipat*** eagerly *** this mi***tary experi***nt, wh***h they hope would help Afr***an USAns achieve fre***om and postwar ci***l equa***ty. By current standards of racial ega***tarianism, these ***n's paterna***sm ***ward Afr***an USAns was racist. But *** call their (L***e40) fee***ngs “powerful racial prejud***es” is *** ***dulge *** ge***rational ch******nism-*** judge past eras by present standards.
1. The passage as a whole can best be characteriz*** as wh***h of the follow***g?

3. The ***th*** imp***es that the title of Glatthaar 's book refers specif***ally *** wh***h of the follow***g?

Passage 4
Milanko***tch propos*** *** the early twentieth century that the ***e ages were c***s*** by variations *** the Earth's ***bit around the Sun. F*** so***ti*** this the***y was ***nsider*** untestable, largely bec***se there was no suff***iently precise chronology of the ***e ages with wh***h the ***bital variations ***uld be match***.
To estab***sh such a chronology it is ***cessary *** determ***e the relative amounts of land ***e that exist*** at various ti***s *** the Earth's past. A recent dis***very makes such a determ***ation possible: relative land-***e volu*** f*** a given period can be d***uc*** from the ratio of two o***gen iso***pes, 16 and 18, found *** ocean s***i***nts. Almost all the o***gen *** water is o***gen 16, but a few molecules out of every thousand ******rp***ate the he**ier iso***pe 18. When an ***e age beg***s, the ***nt***ental ***e sheets grow, steadily r***uc***g the amount of water evap***at*** from the ocean that will eventually return *** it. Bec***se he**ier iso***pes tend *** be left beh***d when water evap***ates from the ocean surfaces, the rema******g ocean water be******s progressively enr***h*** *** o***gen 16, but a few molecules out of every thousand ******rp***ate the he**ier iso***pe 18. When an ***e age beg***s, the ***nt***ental ***e sheets grow, steadily r***uc***g the amount of water evap***at*** from the ocean that will eventually return *** it. Bec***se he**ier iso***pes tend *** be left beh***d when water evap***ates from the ocean surfaces, the rema******g ocean water be******s progressively enr***h*** *** o***gen 18. The degree of enr***h***nt can be determ****** by analyz***g ocean s***i***nts of the period, bec***se these s***i***nts are ***mpos*** of calcium carbonate shells of mar***e ***ganisms, shells that were ***nstruct*** with o***gen a***ms drawn from the surround***g ocean. The higher the ratio of o***gen 18 *** o***gen 16 *** a s***i***ntary speci***n, the m***e land ***e there was when the s***i***nt was laid down.
As an ***d***a***r of shifts *** the Earth's c***mate, the iso***pe re***rd has two advantages. First, it is a global re***rd: there is remarkably ***ttle variation *** iso***pe ratios *** s***i***ntary speci***ns taken from different ***nt***ental locations. Se***nd, it is a m***e ***nt***uous re***rd than that taken from rocks on land. Bec***se of these advantages, s***i***ntary e***dence can be dat*** with suff***ient a***uracy by radio***tr*** ***thods *** estab***sh a precise chronology of the ***e ages. The dat*** iso***pe re***rd ***ws that the fluctuations *** global ***e volu*** over the past several hundr*** thousand years h**e a pattern: an ***e age o***urs roughly once every 100,000 years. These data h**e estab***sh*** a strong ***n***ction between variations *** the Earth's ***bit and the period***ity of the ***e ages.
However, it is imp***tant *** note that other fac***rs, such as volcan*** part***ulates *** variations *** the amount of su***ight receiv*** by the Earth, ***uld potentially h**e affect*** the c***mate. The advantage of the Milanko***tch the***y is that it is testable: changes *** the Earth's ***bit can be calculat*** and dat*** by apply***g New***n's laws of gr**ity *** progressively ear***er ***nfigurations of the bodies *** the solar system. Yet the lack of ***f***mation about other possible fac***rs affect***g global c***mate does not make them unimp***tant.
