Passage 1
Recent years have brought minority-owned businesses in the United States unprecedentedopportunities—as well as new and significant risks. Civil rights activists have long argued that
one of the principal reasons why Blacks, Hispanics, and other minority groups have difficulty
establishing themselves in business is that they lack access to the sizable orders and
subcontracts that are generated by large companies. Now Congress, in apparent agreement,
has required by law that businesses awarded federal contracts of more than $500,000 do their
best to find minority subcontractors and record their efforts to do so on forms filed with the
government. Indeed, some federal and local agencies have gone so far as to set specific
percentage goals for apportioning parts of public works contracts to minority enterprises.
Corporate response appears to have been substantial. According to figures collected in
1977, the total of corporate contracts with minority businesses rose from $77 million in 1972 to
$1.1 billion in 1977. The projected total of corporate contracts with minority businesses for the
early 1980’s is estimated to be over 53 billion per year with no letup anticipated in the next
decade. Promising as it is for minority businesses, this increased patronage poses dangers for
them, too. First, minority firms risk expanding too fast and overextending themselves financially,
since most are small concerns and, unlike large businesses, they often need to make
substantial investments in new plants, staff, equipment, and the like in order to perform work
subcontracted to them. If, thereafter, their subcontracts are for some reason reduced, such
firms can face potentially crippling fixed expenses. The world of corporate purchasing can be
frustrating for small entrepreneurs who get requests for elaborate formal estimates and bids.
Both consume valuable time and resources, and a small company’s efforts must soon result in
orders, or both the morale and the financial health of the business will suffer.
A second risk is that White-owned companies may seek to cash in on the increasing
apportionments through formation of joint ventures with minority-owned concerns. Of course,
in many instances there are legitimate reasons for joint ventures; clearly, White and minority
enterprises can team up to acquire business that neither could acquire alone. But civil rights
groups and minority business owners have complained to Congress about minorities being set
up as “fronts” with White backing, rather than being accepted as full partners in legitimate joint
ventures.
Third, a minority enterprise that secures the business of one large corporate customer
often runs the danger of becoming—and remaining—dependent. Even in the best of
circumstances, fierce competition from larger, more established companies makes it difficult for
small concerns to broaden their customer bases: when such firms have nearly guaranteed
orders from a single corporate benefactor, they may truly have to struggle against complacency
arising from their current success.

contracts with minority-owned businesses.
(D) The estimate of corporate spending with minority-owned businesses in 1980
is approximately $10 million too high.
(E) The $1.1 billion represented the same percentage of total corporate spending
in 1977 as did $77 million in 1972.
8. The author would most likely agree with which of the following statements about
corporate response to working with minority subcontractors?
(A) Annoyed by the proliferation of “front” organizations, corporations are likely
to reduce their efforts to work with minority-owned subcontractors in the
near future.
(B) Although corporations showed considerable interest in working with minority
businesses in the 1970’s, their aversion to government paperwork made them
reluctant to pursue many government contracts.
(C) The significant response of corporations in the 1970’s is likely to be sustained
and conceivably be increased throughout the 1980’s.
(D) Although corporations are eager to cooperate with minority-owned businesses,
a shortage of capital in the 1970’s made substantial response impossible.
(E) The enormous corporate response has all but eliminated the dangers of
over-expansion that used to plague small minority-owned businesses.
Passage 2
the free enterprise system is the most efficient economic system. Maximum freedom means
maximum productiveness; our “openness” is to be the measure of our stability. Fascination with
this ideal has made Americans defy the “Old World” categories of settled possessiveness versus
unsettling deprivation, the cupidity of retention versus the cupidity of seizure, a “status quo”
defended or attacked. The United States, it was believed, had no status quo ante. Our only
“station” was the turning of a stationary wheel, spinning faster and faster. We did not base our
system on property but opportunity—which meant we based it not on stability but on mobility.
The more things changed, that is, the more rapidly the wheel turned, the steadier we would be.
The conventional picture of class politics is composed of the Haves, who want a stability to keep
what they have, and the Have-Nots, who want a touch of instability and change in which to
scramble for the things they have not. But Americans imagined a condition in which speculators,
self-makers, runners are always using the new opportunities given by our land. These economic
leaders (front-runners) would thus be mainly agents of change. The nonstarters were
considered the ones who wanted stability, a strong referee to give them some position in the
race, a regulative hand to calm manic speculation; an authority that can call things to a halt,
begin things again from compensatorily staggered “starting lines.”
“Reform” in America has been sterile because it can imagine no change except through the
extension of this metaphor of a race, wider inclusion of competitors, “a piece of the action,” as
it were, for the disenfranchised. There is no attempt to call off the race. Since our only stability
is change, America seems not to honor the quiet work that achieves social interdependence and
stability. There is, in our legends, no heroism of the office clerk, no stable industrial work force
of the people who actually make the system work. There is no pride in being an employee
(Wilson asked for a return to the time when everyone was an employer). There has been no
boasting about our social workers—they are merely signs of the system’s failure, of opportunity
denied or not taken, of things to be eliminated. We have no pride in our growing
interdependence, in the fact that our system can serve others, that we are able to help those in
need; empty boasts from the past make us ashamed of our present achievements, make us try
to forget or deny them, move away from them. There is no honor but in the Wonderland race
we must all run, all trying to win, none winning in the end (for there is no end).

people.
Passage 3
basins has yet been given. The traditional view supposes that the upper mantle of the earth
behaves as a liquid when it is subjected to small forces for long periods and that differences in
temperature under oceans and continents are sufficient to produce convection in the mantle of
the earth with rising convection currents under the mid-ocean ridges and sinking currents
under the continents. Theoretically, this convection would carry the continental plates along as
though they were on a conveyor belt and would provide the forces needed to produce the split
that occurs along the ridge. This view may be correct: it has the advantage that the currents
are driven by temperature differences that themselves depend on the position of the continents.
Such a back-coupling, in which the position of the moving plate has an impact on the forces
that move it, could produce complicated and varying motions.
On the other hand, the theory is implausible because convection does not normally occur
along lines, and it certainly does not occur along lines broken by frequent offsets or changes in
direction, as the ridge is. Also it is difficult to see how the theory applies to the plate between
the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the ridge in the Indian Ocean. This plate is growing on both sides,
and since there is no intermediate trench, the two ridges must be moving apart. It would be
odd if the rising convection currents kept exact pace with them. An alternative theory is that the
sinking part of the plate, which is denser than the hotter surrounding mantle, pulls the rest of
the plate after it. Again it is difficult to see how this applies to the ridge in the South Atlantic,
where neither the African nor the American plate has a sinking part.
Another possibility is that the sinking plate cools the neighboring mantle and produces
convection currents that move the plates. This last theory is attractive because it gives some
hope of explaining the enclosed seas, such as the Sea of Japan. These seas have a typical
oceanic floor, except that the floor is overlaid by several kilometers of sediment. Their floors
have probably been sinking for long periods. It seems possible that a sinking current of cooled
mantle material on the upper side of the plate might be the cause of such deep basins. The
enclosed seas are an important feature of the earth’s surface, and seriously require explanation
because, in addition to the enclosed seas that are developing at present behind island arcs,
there are a number of older ones of possibly similar origin, such as the Gulf of Mexico, the Black
Sea, and perhaps the North Sea.

Passage 4
paleontologists for more than two centuries. How such large creatures, which weighed in some
cases as much as a piloted hang-glider and had wingspans from 8 to 12 meters, solved the
problems of powered flight, and exactly what these creatures were—reptiles or birds—are
among the questions scientists have puzzled over.
Perhaps the least controversial assertion about the pterosaurs is that they were reptiles.
Their skulls, pelvises, and hind feet are reptilian. The anatomy of their wings suggests that they
did not evolve into the class of birds. In pterosaurs a greatly elongated fourth finger of each
forelimb supported a wing-like membrane. The other fingers were short and reptilian, with
sharp claws. In birds the second finger is the principal strut of the wing, which consists
primarily of feathers. If the pterosaurs walked on all fours, the three short fingers may have
been employed for grasping. When a pterosaur walked or remained stationary, the fourth finger,
and with it the wing, could only turn upward in an extended inverted V-shape along each side of
the animal’s body.
The pterosaurs resembled both birds and bats in their overall structure and proportions.
This is not surprising because the design of any flying vertebrate is subject to aerodynamic
constraints. Both the pterosaurs and the birds have hollow bones, a feature that represents a
savings in weight. In the birds, however, these bones are reinforced more massively by internal
struts.
Although scales typically cover reptiles, the pterosaurs probably had hairy coats. T. H.
Huxley reasoned that flying vertebrates must have been warm-blooded because flying implies a
high rate of metabolism, which in turn implies a high internal temperature. Huxley speculated
that a coat of hair would insulate against loss of body heat and might streamline the body to
reduce drag in flight. The recent discovery of a pterosaur specimen covered in long, dense, and
relatively thick hairlike fossil material was the first clear evidence that his reasoning was
correct.
Efforts to explain how the pterosaurs became airborne have led to suggestions that they
launched themselves by jumping from cliffs, by dropping from trees, or even by rising into light
winds from the crests of waves. Each hypothesis has its difficulties. The first wrongly assumes
that the pterosaurs’ hind feet resembled a bat’s and could serve as hooks by which the animal
could hang in preparation for flight. The second hypothesis seems unlikely because large
pterosaurs could not have landed in trees without damaging their wings. The third calls for high
waves to channel updrafts. The wind that made such waves however, might have been too
strong for the pterosaurs to control their flight once airborne.
1. It can be inferred from the passage that scientists now generally agree that the
(A) enormous wingspan of the pterosaurs enabled them to fly great distances

(C) fossil remains of the pterosaurs reveal how they solved the problem of
powered flight
(D) pterosaurs were reptiles
(E) pterosaurs walked on all fours

winds created by waves as
(A) revolutionary
(B) unlikely
(C) unassailable
(D) probable
(E) outdated
3. According to the passage, the skeleton of a pterosaur can be distinguished from
that of a bird by the
(A) size of its wingspan
(B) presence of hollow spaces in its bones
(C) anatomic origin of its wing strut
(D) presence of hooklike projections on its hind feet
(E) location of the shoulder joint joining the wing to its body
4. The ideas attributed to T. H. Huxley in the passage suggest that he would most
likely agree with which of the following statements?
(A) An animal’s brain size has little bearing on its ability to master complex
behaviors.
(B) An animal’s appearance is often influenced by environmental requirements
and physical capabilities.
(C) Animals within a given family group are unlikely to change their appearance
dramatically over a period of time.
(D) The origin of flight in vertebrates was an accidental development rather than
the outcome of specialization or adaptation.
(E) The pterosaurs should be classified as birds, not reptiles.
5. It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following is characteristic of
the pterosaurs?
(A) They were unable to fold their wings when not in use.
(B) They hung upside down from branches as bats do before flight.
(C) They flew in order to capture prey.
(D) They were an early stage in the evolution of the birds.
(E) They lived primarily in a forest-like habitat.
6. Which of the following best describes the organization of the last paragraph of
the passage?

(B) Three explanations for a phenomenon are presented, and each is disputed by
means of specific information.

(A) lived near large bodies of water
(B) had sharp teeth for tearing food
(C) were attacked and eaten by larger reptiles
(D) had longer tails than many birds

Passage 5
yet contentious social policy questions. In many ways, our social statistics exaggerate the
degree of hardship. Unemployment does not have the same dire consequences today as it did
in the 1930’s when most of the unemployed were primary breadwinners, when income and
earnings were usually much closer to the margin of subsistence, and when there were no
countervailing social programs for those failing in the labor market. Increasing affluence, the
rise of families with more than one wage earner, the growing predominance of secondary
earners among the unemployed, and improved social welfare protection have unquestionably
mitigated the consequences of joblessness. Earnings and income data also overstate the
dimensions of hardship. Among the millions with hourly earnings at or below the minimum
wage level, the overwhelming majority are from multiple-earner, relatively affluent families.
Most of those counted by the poverty statistics are elderly or handicapped or have family
responsibilities which keep them out of the labor force, so the poverty statistics are by no
means an accurate indicator of labor market pathologies.
Yet there are also many ways our social statistics underestimate the degree of
labor-market-related hardship. The unemployment counts exclude the millions of fully
employed workers whose wages are so low that their families remain in poverty. Low wages
and repeated or prolonged unemployment frequently interact to undermine the capacity for
self-support. Since the number experiencing joblessness at some time during the year is several
times the number unemployed in any month, those who suffer as a result of forced idleness can
equal or exceed average annual unemployment, even though only a minority of the jobless in
any month really suffer. For every person counted in the monthly unemployment tallies, there is
another working part-time because of the inability to find full-time work, or else outside the
labor force but wanting a job. Finally, income transfers in our country have always focused on
the elderly, disabled, and dependent, neglecting the needs of the working poor, so that the
dramatic expansion of cash and in-kind transfers does not necessarily mean that those failing in
the labor market are adequately protected.
As a result of such contradictory evidence, it is uncertain whether those suffering seriously
as a result of labor market problems number in the hundreds of thousands or the tens of
millions, and, hence, whether high levels of joblessness can be tolerated or must be countered
by job creation and economic stimulus. There is only one area of agreement in this
debate—that the existing poverty, employment, and earnings statistics are inadequate for one
their primary applications, measuring the consequences of labor market problems.

those in poverty
(E) poverty has increased since the 1930’s
4. Which of the following proposals best responds to the issues raised by the
author?
(A) Innovative programs using multiple approaches should be set up to reduce the
level of unemployment.
(B) A compromise should be found between the positions of those who view
joblessness as an evil greater than economic control and those who hold the
opposite view.
(C) New statistical indices should be developed to measure the degree to which
unemployment and inadequately paid employment cause suffering.
(D) Consideration should be given to the ways in which statistics can act as
partial causes of the phenomena that they purport to measure.
(E) The labor force should be restructured so that it corresponds to the range of
job vacancies.
5. The author’s purpose in citing those who are repeatedly unemployed during a
twelve-month period is most probably to show that
(A) there are several factors that cause the payment of low wages to some
members of the labor force
(B) unemployment statistics can underestimate the hardship resulting from
joblessness
(C) recurrent inadequacies in the labor market can exist and can cause hardships
for individual workers
(D) a majority of those who are jobless at any one time to not suffer severe
hardship
(E) there are fewer individuals who are without jobs at some time during a year
than would be expected on the basis of monthly unemployment figures
6. The author states that the mitigating effect of social programs involving income
transfers on the income level of low-income people is often not felt by
(A) the employed poor
(B) dependent children in single-earner families
(C) workers who become disabled
(D) retired workers
(E) full-time workers who become unemployed
7. According to the passage, one factor that causes unemployment and earnings
figures to overpredict the amount of economic hardship is the
(A) recurrence of periods of unemployment for a group of low-wage workers
(B) possibility that earnings may be received from more than one job per worker
(C) fact that unemployment counts do not include those who work for low wages
and remain poor
(D) establishment of a system of record-keeping that makes it possible to compile
poverty statistics
(E) prevalence, among low-wage workers and the unemployed, of members of
families in which others are employed
8. The conclusion stated in lines 33-39 about the number of people who suffer as a
result of forced idleness depends primarily on the point that
(A) in times of high unemployment, there are some people who do not remain
unemployed for long
(B) the capacity for self-support depends on receiving moderate-to-high wages
(C) those in forced idleness include, besides the unemployed, both
underemployed part-time workers and those not actively seeking work
(D) at different times during the year, different people are unemployed
(E) many of those who are affected by unemployment are dependents of
unemployed workers
9. Which of the following, if true, is the best criticism of the author’s argument
concerning why poverty statistics cannot properly be used to show the effects of
problems in the labor market?
(A) A short-term increase in the number of those in poverty can indicate a
shortage of jobs because the basic number of those unable to accept
employment remains approximately constant.
(B) For those who are in poverty as a result of joblessness, there are social
programs available that provide a minimum standard of living.
(C) Poverty statistics do not consistently agree with earnings statistics, when each
is taken as a measure of hardship resulting from unemployment.
(D) The elderly and handicapped categories include many who previously were
employed in the labor market.
(E) Since the labor market is global in nature, poor workers in one country are
competing with poor workers in another with respect to the level of wages
and the existence of jobs.
