Influenced by the teachings of John Calvin, these people had given up attempts to reform the Church of England and laid their sights on turning America into a land of prosperous Puritan faith, ‘When the first Puritans left their native lands for opportunity in the far West, they envisioned that ‘America would be a place where they could establish their communities with little or no resistance and spread their religious beliefs to other Christians. They envisaged communitarian societies in which all property was communally owned. Leaders of the Massachusetts Bay Colony perpetuated the westward movement of Puritan settlements in order to ensure the spread of their way of life. Although each of the communities differed slightly in their interpretation of the Puritan way of life, they were held together by a belief that the Bible was literal instruction about how to property live. However, the reality of early American Puritan life did not match up with ideals. The communities found considerable difficulties dealing with the combination of typical frontier life, plagued by physical and economic hardship, and maintaining their exclusive and rigidly structured society. Puritan belief in a strict adherence to Biblical instruction meant that any kind of deviance from a strictly devout lifestyle was punishable. People were to abstain from such activities as laughing, gambling, singing, and any other kind of enjoyable endeavor. To keep such high standards of moral behavior, the Puritans had to isolate themselves from the rest of the society. Possible Notes Pi.

This relatively small fish which rarely reaches length over 6-9 inches(15-23cm) has also been the subject of intense study by many wildlife biologists for its unusual mating habits. While similar to other fish in that the male cares for the offspring, the alpha males which are larger than the females and other males can never be sure that itis truly {hit own fry which they are raising since there are others which try to circumvent the mating rituals and fertilize the eggs by A6eption. 2 => Comprising roughly 80 percent of the breeding population, large parental males, distinguished by their size, copper colored bars across the top of their heads behind the eyes, and silvery blue breasts that may turn yellow or orange during the spawning season, commonly manage bluegill reproduction. They do not reach sexual maturity until their third or fourth year and this delay allows them to direct their consumed food resources to developing a large body mass, which is advantageous for successfully defending their territory and fighting off predators. Because these fish are colony spawners, adult parental males will excavate plate-sized nests in groups of 20 or 30, called “beddings,” by sweeping their tail fins across the sandy floor to make depressions. Then, in the shallow water, the male circles the nest and makes grunting noises to attract one or more females. The male guards the newly deposited and fertilized eggs and continues to do so even after the hatch and the emergence of the fry until they are old enough to survive on their own. 3 => A small proportion—about 20 percent—of bluegill males do not wait until they are large enough to defend territory before entering the reproductive processsCuckolds,or most of their energy towards their gonads that produce mil, a secretion from their testes containing spermatozoa; as a result, they have invested in a procreative strategy requiring them to take advantage of nearby nests. €iGkolgs are tao mesk to successfully attract a female fish_on their own. They seek out a large parental male, hide in the weeds adjacent to the parental male's breec grounds, and wait for a school of female fish to pass over. Once a female chooses a partner, she will tit her body and release roughly 30 eggs in a motion referred to as a “dip.” Normally, the resident parental male would shower these eggs with his own milt, but before he has a chance to reach all of them, the diminutive euckolgwill leave his safety zane and dart into the dangerous nest area-to.squirt his own milt toward the eggs, quickly returning to his point of origin without being caught. With this tactic, he hopes to fertilize as many of the eggs as possible before they settle into the hole, and will use his undersized body to advance with utmost agility. If fortunate enough to complete the task without encountering any significant harm, the cuckold will go on to stalk other parental male nests over the same season. 32 | #212) Goigt7| yea HackersIngang.com Cocke same 4 => I The rapid dashing technique is limited to only two seasons since his physical maturation, While delayed, cannot be halted resulting in a larger body with less agility and so as to increase the likelihood of passing his genes onto the next generation, he develops a new method of mimicry to achieve his goal. ill An adult cuckold bluegill is still not as beefy as a parental male and can easily be mistaken for a female of the species. ll As he ages, the cuckold will acquire similar markings, which completely disguise him from parental males and allow him to easily slip into schools of female fish unnoticed. ll In this fashion, he will travel around the warm waters until a nearby female decides to spurt her eggs downward toward an established nest.

Diagnostic est | 35 Buppeay 14301 Sipe} The Mediums of Egyptian Art 1 > Egyptian artists during ancient times worked and experimented with a variety of mediums. A great number of the statues and buildings produced in ancient Egypt were made of stone, wood, or metal. The most common was limestone, which was found in ample supply on the cliffs of the Nile Valley. Limestone, a soft stone, was carved into blocks for the construction of temples and tombs. Paint was usually applied to this stone as decoration. The Egyptians also used harder stones in the construction of temples and statues but left the stone its original color for symbolic effect. BIACk stones, based on the black sit left after the Nile River flooded each year, were representative of new life and resurrection, Stones of the colors red, orange, and yellow were closely linked to the Sun while green stones were indicative of growth. 2 One rectangular block of stone was normally used to produce a statue. A sense of strength and power was produced by having the stone between the arms and the body, in addition to the legs of standing or seated figures, uncut. In order to enhance this!@ffedt, the statue was often placed in front of a pillar or column. Almost all of the statues during this time were displayed with the face and the body looking forward. Referred to as frontality, this was a practice that endured over thousands of years with almost no change. These statues were not primarily created for artistic purposes, but for the rituals of gods, kings, and the deceased. Therefore, the statues were shown facing straight ahead, allowing people who visited them to get a sense of connection. Additionally, they were placed in rectangular shrines or wall niches, leaving frontality as a pragmatic display method. Though®ood) was scarce in ancient Egypt, Egyptian artists were quite Adépt at using this particular medium. Although much of the wood was imported from Syria, artisans of the time were also accomplished at using the wood of their native land, which was often gnarled and irregular. ‘They would first shape the wood with a chisel and then smooth down the surface by rubbing it with stones. Paint would be added after plastering the surface, although this step was often skipped with high quality wood. It was used to build a number of skilled pieces such as furniture, chests, coffins, and even statues. Different pieces of wood were carved and put together when making wooden statues. Egyptians worked with different types of metals to produce statues, tools, jewelry, and equipment. Metal statues were produced in one of two methods. A sheet of metal was wrapped around a wooden core or the lost wax process was used. This was a process of changing a sculpture made of clay into a harder material such as metal by making two molds, one of wax and one of ceramic material. The ceramic mold was used to melt out the previous wax molding, thus the wax becoming “lost” as it disappears. Unlike their wooden counterparts, the arms on metal statues were frequently held away from the body so that items could be placed on each hand 5 ll Gold and silver were used for making cult statues during the time, with precious stones regularly embedded for decorative purposes. ll The Egyptian people believed gold to be the flesh of the gods, specifically the sun God Re who was considered to be the most important of the gods, while the bones were composed of silver. ll In addition, a lunar disk that could sometimes be found on a statue was made of silver because of its association with the moon. il 36 | 3 22) Hoja} MPa Hackersingang.com 5 = Another metallic substance called faience, also known as glazed composition, was commonly used by the Egyptians. Made of quartz with a glazed surface and often used as an alternative to stone, faience was employed in the production of many small objects like rings, bracelets, and ear studs due to its ability to be shaped and its wide availability. The properties of faience were also similar to those of stone, making it a natural substitute. A variety of glaze colors could be produced depending on additions to the basic mixture but the most commonly used color was turquoise.

Diagnostic Test | 39 rT) Bupeoy 14301 S1HDEH EE_incan and Mayan Civilizations 1 The arrival of the Spanish conquistadors in the New World permanently and drastically reshaped the culture and the lives of the indigenous populations, leading to the disappearance of two of the greatest civilizations in the Americas, the Inca and the Maya, shortly after the Europeans discovered them. They left remarkable cities, with few records about the vanished inhabitants, forcing archaeologists to try to piece together what remains in an attempt to learn more about these lost civilizations, "> The majority of the information that has been collected came from the ruins of their cities, which have Withst6od the passage of time since they worked primarily with stone. Yet, while both used the same material, they integrated their cities very differently into the surrounding environment. For the Inca, their skill enabled them to accomplish this almost seamlessly by sculpting nearby objects and incorporating terraces into their cities for use as farms or gardens. In comparison, Mayan urban planning appears almost haphazard. While lacking the extensive road system and organized layout of the Incans, Mayan cities tended to grow more organically from a central plaza that contained the most, important buildings, such as the royal palaces, temples, and ball-courts, and since they had developed a mortar from crushed limestone, they didn’t need to spend the same amount of time hewing stones that would perfectly complement each other. © > This loose «Ghfederation Bf buildings was somewhat indicative of Mayan governance. Each city, with its surrounding area, was headed by its own supreme hereditary ruler who was the focal point, and as a result, the Mayan empire wasn't a unified nation, but was comprised of disparate city-states that were bound by a similar culture. The Incas, however, had one ruler, known as the Sapa Inca, or, unique Inca, who had to be the direct descendant of the original Inca tribe and had absolute power ver the entire region, which was broken up into four regions, with each controlled by a governor who in turn oversaw local officials. The hierarchal provinces were also unique in that there were separate chains of command for the religious and military branches of government that effectively acted as a system of checks and balances. The! Saja inca Was’ able to exert his influence over the region) since there was a highly-developed road network that enabled messengers’ swift passage to the far-flung reaches of the kingdom. 4 Despite not having this courier network, the Maya had one immeasurable advantage, which many researchers believe to be the reason why the Mayan Empire lasted for over a thousand years, whereas the Incas lasted for less than two hundred. The Mayans had developed a formal writing system, which, while often compared to Egyptian hieroglyphics, was more phonetically based and enabled them to transmit and store vast amounts of information. ill While over 1,000 different glyphs have been discovered, it seems that no more than 500 were used at any one time and that 200 of those had a phonetic interpretation, as opposed to the others which were logographic. ll While much of the language that has been reconstructed has come from works inscribed in stone or pottery, the Mayans also were known to use the bark of trees to form codices, called primitive books, which unfortunately all were nearly destroyed by Spanish priests. ll There has been some recent work by linguists who claim that the Incan quipus, strings of colored knotted cords, could have been used to convey messages, but this view is not widely accepted since all evidence seems to suggest that 40 | 58 21: Ho¥g!1 NES Hackersingang.com messengers were used to relay all of the information, and proponents have yet to develop any means to translate them. ll In spite of their similar locations and overlapping time frames, the Mayans and Incans established vastly different cultures, both of which were marked by some of the most spectacular buildings in pre-Columbian America. Unfortunately, their destruction at the hands of the Spanish resulted in the loss of more than just their relics, but the loss of two great civilizations. 1_The word “withstood” in the passage is closest in meaning to (A) forged (B) deepened (C) resisted \O/anpraised z 2 According to paragfaph 2, the reason parts of the Incan and Mayan cities survived was (A) the presemvation work done by modem archaeologists fegree of skill with which the structures were built (C) their impressive level of integration with their surroundings “Oy the durability of the material which they were constructed from Paragraph 2 is marked with an arrow [= Which of the following can be inferred about the building practices of the Incans in paragraph 2? ¥ (A) They carved stone blocks that would match each other.
