Questions l-10
hecipitation, commonly referred to as rainfall, is a measure of the quantity of water in the
form of either rain, hail, or snow which reaches the ground. The average annual precipitation
over the whole of the United States is thirty-six inches. It should be understood horveve& that
Line a foot of snow is not equal to a foot of precipitation. A gcneral formula for computing the pre-
t 5) cipitation of snowfall is that ten inches of snow is equal to one inch of prccipitation. In New

York State, for example, twenty inches of snow in one year would be rccorded as only two
inches of precipitation, Forty inches of rain would be recorded as forty inches of precipitation.
The total annual precipitation would be recorded as forty+wo inches.
The amount of precipitation is a combined result of several factors, including location, al-
rc) drude, proximiry to the sea, and the direction of prevailing winds. Most of the precipitation in
the United States is brought originally by prevailing winds from the Pacific Ocean, the Gulf of
Mexico, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Great Lakes. Because these prevailing winds generally
come from the West, the Pacific Coast rcceives more annual precipitation than the Atlantic
Coast. Along the Pacific Coast itself, however, altitude causes some diversity in rainfall. The
I5l rnountain ranges of the United States, especially the Rocky Mountain Range and the Ap-
palachian Mountain Range, influence the amount of precipitation in their areas. East of the
Rocky Mountains, the annual precipitation decreases substantially from that west of:.the
Rocky Mountains. The precipiution north of the Appalachian Mountains is about 40 percent
less than that south of the Appalachian Mountains.

Questions 2l-30
During the nineteenth century, women in the United States organized and participated in a
large number of reform movements, including movements to reorlganizc the pnron system,
improve education, ban Ore sale of alcohol, and, most importantly, to free thi slaves. Some
Une women saw similarities in the social status of women and slaves. Women tike Elizabeth Cady
(5) Stanton and Lucy Stone were feminists and abolitionists who supported the rights of both
women and blacks. A riumber of male abolitionists, including William Lloyd Garrison and
Wendell Philips, also supported the rights of women to speak and participate equally:with men
in antislavery activities. Probably more than any other movement, abolitionism offered
women a previously denied entry into politics. They became involved primarily in order to
( I0) better their living conditions and the conditions of others.

When the Civil War ended in 1865, the Fourtecnth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Con-
stitution adopted in 1868 and 1870 granted citizenship and suffrage to blacks but not to
women. Discouraged but resolved, feminists influenced more and more women to demand the
right to vote. In 1869 the Wyoming Territory had yielded to demands by feminists, but eastern
( 15) states resisted more stubbornly than before. A women's suffrage bill had been presented
to
every Congress since t 878 but it continually failed to pass until 1920, when thi Nineteenth
Amendment granted women the right to vote.

Questions 3l-40
The Acacia is a genus of trees and shrubs of the Mimosa family. Although nearly five hun-
dred species of Acacia have been identified, only about a dozen of the three hundred Aus-
tralian varieties gmw well in the southem United States, and of these, only ttpee are flower-
Une ing. The Bailey Acacia has fernlike silver leaves and small, fragranr fllwers arranged in
(5) rounded clusters. The,Silve rWattle,although very similar to the Baitqt Acacia,grows twice as
high. The sydney Goldcn wanle is squat and bushy with broa4 flat leaver *d sharp spined
twigs. Named for its bright" yellow flowers, the Golden Wattle is the most showy and-fuairant
of the Acacias.'Another variety, the Black Acacia or Blackwood,hasdark green leaves and un-
obtrusive blossoms. Besides being a iopular tree for ornamenhl purposes , U" AUtf Acacia is
( rc) valuable for its dark wood, which is used in making cabinets ana furniture, including highty
prized pianos.
The Acacta's unusual custom of blossoming in February has been commonly anributed to
its Australian origins. In the Southem Hemisphere, of courre, the scasons are reversed, and
February which is wintertime in the United-States, is summertime in Australia. Actually,
(15) however, the pale, yellow blossoms appe.ar in August in Australia. Whether growing in the
Northern or Southern Hemisphere, the Acacia will bloom in winter.

ln Minuit, governor of the Dutch settlements in North America known as New
1626, Peter
Amsterdam, negotiated with Canarsee Indian chiefs for the purchase of Manhattan Island for
merchandise valued at sixty guilders or about $24.12, He purchased the island for the Dutch
Line West India Company.
(5) The next year, Fort Amsterdam was built by the company at the extreme southem tip of the
island. Because attempt$ to encourage Dutch irnmigration were not immediately successful, of-
fers, generous by the standards of the era, were extended throughout Europe. Consequently, the

I2
 settlement became tbe most heterogeneous of the Ncirth American colonies. By 1637, the fort
had expanded into the village of Ncw Amsrcrdam, and other small communities had grom
( rc) up anrund it, including New Haadem and Stuyvesant's Bouwery and New Amsterdam began
to prosper, developing characteristics of religious and linguistic tolerance unusual for the
times. By 1643, it was reported ttrat eighteen differcnt language.s werc heard in New Amster-
dam alone. I

Among the multilingual settlers was a large group of English colonists from Connecticut
( 15) and Massachusetts who supported the English King's claim to all of New Netherlands set out
in a charter that gave the territory to his brother fames, the Duke of York. In 1664, when the
English sent a formidable fleet of warships into tlie New Amsterdam harbor, Dutch governor
Peter Stuyvesant surrendercd without resistance.
When the English acquircd the island, the village of New Arnsterdam was rcnamed New
(20) York in honor of the Duke. By the onset of the Revolution, New York City was already a
bustling commercial center. After the war, it was selecrcd as the first capital of the United
States. Although the government was eventually moved, first to Philadelphia and then to
Washington, D.C., New York City has remained the unofhcial commercial capital.
During the 1690s, New York became a haven for pirates who conspired with leading mer-
(25) chants to exchange supplies for their ships in return for a share in the plunder. As a colony,
New York exchanged many agricultural products for English manufactured goods. In addition,
rade with the West Indies prospued. Three centuries after his initial trade with the Indians,
Minuit's tiny investment was worth more than seven billion dollars.
