Questions 27 – 29 refer to the text below.
About 2200-1800 BC a wave of newcomers arrived in the Cyclades and on the mainland. They caused
considerable destruction, and for about two centuries civilization was disrupted, especially on the
mainland. New pottery and the introduction of horses at this time indicate that the invaders were of the
Indo-European language family, to which both Ancient and Modern Greek belong.
On Crete, impressive buildings, frescoes, vases, and early writing are evidence of a flourishing culture
of the 2nd millennium BC, which came to be known as Minoan. Great royal palaces built around large
courtyards were the focal points of these communities. The most magnificent of the palaces was at
Knossos. Destroyed presumably by an earthquake or a foreign invasion about 1700 BC, it was rebuilt
on a grand scale. It seems likely that the Minoans maintained a marine empire, trading not only with the
Cyclades and the mainland but also with Sicily, Egypt, and cities on the eastern shore of the
Mediterranean.

Questions 39– 41 refer to the text below.
Amerigo Vespucci (Latin Americus Vespucius) (1454-1512), Italian navigator, for whom the continents
of North and South America are named. He was born in Florence. In 1495 he took over the business of
a merchant in Seville, Spain, who had furnished supplies to ships voyaging to the West Indies.
Vespucci later set out for the New World himself and left accounts and maps of four voyages. Most
scholars agree that Vespucci explored a large section of the northern coast of South America during an
expedition led by Spanish soldier Alonso de Ojeda in 1499 and 1500. Most also believe that he might
have explored part of that continent's eastern coast on a subsequent voyage. German geographer and
cartographer Martin Waldseemüller, who translated Vespucci's narrative in 1507, was the first to use
America, an adaptation of the explorer's given name of Amerigo, as a name for the southern continent.
The name gradually came into use to refer to the two western continents after it appeared on a world
map published in 1538.
