2 rskills Test 1b, page 2 Comprehension Read the following social studies text. Then answer questions 1 4. Coming to America People have been making their way to the area we know as North and South America for thousands of years. They have traveled in different ways. The first immigrants to the New World probably came thousands of years ago during the Ice Age. These people were most likely hunters from the northeast part of Asia. Many scientists believe that the hunters walked across a land bridge from Asia to Alaska. This land bridge was created by the freezing cold temperatures of the Ice Age. During this time, much of the world s water formed huge sheets of ice called glaciers. This caused ocean levels to be much lower, so some of the land that is now under water was dry ground. When the Ice Age ended, ice melted causing oceans to rise. This separated the Americas from northeastern Asia. This isolation lasted for thousands of years until people learned to build and sail boats. European explorers eventually reached the New World in ships. The second wave of immigration to North and South America followed the voyage of Columbus in Over the next few hundred years, settlers from many European countries traveled to the Americas by sailing ship. The journey was often difficult and took many months. Many people were frightened while traveling on the small, crowded ships, especially in stormy weather. In the mid-1800s, steamships were built that could cross oceans. Traveling from Europe and Asia to the Americas on steamships was less dangerous. The voyage still wasn t easy, but it was faster. Steamships reduced travel time from
3 rskills Test 1b, page 3 months to weeks. As a result, millions of immigrants arrived and the population of the New World exploded. The airplane was invented in 1903, but it took about 70 years before immigration by plane became widespread. Flying was too expensive for most people. Now that air travel is more affordable, many immigrants fly to the Americas. 1. This text is mostly about different ways of traveling to America. the difficulty of traveling to America. different reasons for coming to America. the best ways of coming to America. 2. The first immigrants to the Americas probably came from the New World. Alaska. Asia. the Northwest. 3. What event took place in 1903 that later affected immigration? The airplane was invented. Columbus arrived in America. The Ice Age ended. Steamships replaced sailing ships.
4 rskills Test 1b, page 4 4. How did the invention of steamships increase the immigrant population? It finally made sea travel easy and fun. It reduced travel time from months to weeks. It paved the way for airplane travel. It made traveling by sea less expensive.
5 rskills Test 1b, page 5 Read the following sociology text. Then answer questions 5 7. Gender Trends in U.S. Immigration Throughout most of U.S. history, the number of single male immigrants has been higher than the number of single female immigrants. There are several reasons for this difference. But over time these trends have changed. Today the number of male and female immigrants is about equal. Many immigrants come to the United States to escape poverty. Single men from Ireland, Poland, Denmark, and other countries came to the United States because they had few opportunities in their home countries. Although some returned home with enough money to buy land, many others stayed. Those who remained in the United States found jobs, bought land, and built homes. There were fewer female immigrants during the 1700s and 1800s. In the past, women usually came to the United States either as part of a family or with their husbands. Most single women did not travel alone because their families feared for their safety. Around 1900, immigration trends began to change. At that time, men made up more than two-thirds of all immigrants arriving in the United States. By 1940, however, the number of single male and female immigrants was just about equal. Many immigrants traveled to the United States to escape economic, political, and religious oppression at home. After World War II, the number of women immigrants increased. The War Brides Act of 1945 helped increase female immigration. This act helped women who were war brides. They met and married American soldiers who were stationed in their countries during and after the war. Then they were allowed into the United States as the wives of U.S. citizens.
6 rskills Test 1b, page 6 Since the 1990s, about the same number of women and men have come to the United States to live. More women or more men may come from some countries, but overall, the numbers are about equal. For many women, the United States offers greater opportunity than their home countries. In some countries, women are not allowed to vote, work outside the home, go to school, or even go to the store without a male family member. Other women immigrate to the United States for many of the same reasons as men: to seek employment opportunities, to be reunited with their families, or to escape unfair political treatment.
7 rskills Test 1b, page 7 5. This text is mostly about war brides after World War II. why people come to the United States. changes in male and female immigration trends over the years. why there were more male immigrants than female immigrants. 6. In which year did gender trends in immigration begin to change? Based on the circle graphs, which statement is true? More Mexican immigrants are women than men. Overall, more U.S. immigrants are women than men. The percentage of women immigrants from Mexico increases every year. The percentage of female immigrants from Mexico is less than that of female immigrants overall.
8 rskills Test 1b, page 8 Read the following biographical text. Then answer questions The Lost Boys of Sudan At only five years old, Abraham Garang spent his days doing nothing but walking. For months Garang traveled across Sudan, a country in Africa. He walked with other children some older, some younger. Each child in the group was an orphan whose parents were killed in a war in Sudan. When enemy soldiers burned his village in 1987, Abraham ran. He joined thousands of other boys who were trying to escape capture or death. We were just a bunch of kids, says Garang. I can picture all of us walking in a line we were walking all day and night, all the time. You never knew where you were going; you just walked to wherever you felt it might be safe. The children were heading 200 miles east to another country, called Ethiopia. Now known as The Lost Boys of Sudan, they faced constant danger. Many did not survive the months-long trek. Some drowned crossing rivers. Others grew sick from hunger or disease. Many boys were taken by wild animals. In 1988, the children finally reached a camp for refugees in Ethiopia. Refugees are people who have to leave their own countries to escape from danger. They could rest at the camp, but danger still existed. After surviving war, wildlife, and the heat, many of Garang's friends lost their lives to illness. There was not much food or water. Sometimes groups of refugees would fight or kill each other. For nearly fifteen years, Garang and the others lived in one camp after another. Then, in 1999, a group of U.S. officials visited some of the camps, including the camp where Garang was staying. They were concerned about the
9 rskills Test 1b, page 9 children in the camps. Two years later, Garang became one of the 38,000 Lost Boys allowed to move to the United States as a refugee. Garang settled in Charlotte, North Carolina, one of about a dozen cities across the country that adopted the Lost Boys. Once in America, he enrolled in school. To learn English, he watched cartoons. After finishing high school, Virginia's Lynchburg College awarded him a scholarship. He enrolled and began working toward graduation. Throughout his time in America, host families, church groups, and other organizations have helped Garang. He gives back by mentoring teens as a basketball and soccer coach. Garang never forgets his story of survival, and he tells it many times. One day, Garang hopes to visit Sudan and help build a school. When thinking about the future, Abraham Garang says, I want the next generation to think that everything is possible, no matter what your past history. 8. According to the text, why did the Lost Boys flee their homes? a war wild animals disease hunger 9. Garang and his friends left their village and walked 200 miles to-- North Carolina. Ethiopia. the Sudan. Virginia.
