1. 1. Which Song dynasty practice did the most to support a bureaucracy chosen by merit rather than birth?

   • A. Hereditary command of the imperial army
   • B. Selling government offices to wealthy merchants
   • C. Civil service examinations based on Confucian texts
   • D. Monastic examinations run by Buddhist orders
   Mostra risposta e spiegazione

   Risposta: C. Civil service examinations based on Confucian texts

   Song rulers expanded the civil service examinations and drew officials from a wider pool of educated men. Success depended on mastery of Confucian learning, which tied the bureaucracy to Confucian values. Aristocratic families still held advantages, but the exams made merit a real path into government.

2. 2. What feature of the Indian Ocean basin helped make long-distance sea trade there regular and predictable?

   • A. Seasonal monsoon winds that reverse direction
   • B. A canal that joined it to the Mediterranean
   • C. Year-round ice-free ports along every coast
   • D. A single empire that controlled every harbor
   Mostra risposta e spiegazione

   Risposta: A. Seasonal monsoon winds that reverse direction

   Monsoon winds blow one way for part of the year and the other way for the rest. Sailors could ride them out and back on a schedule, which tied East Africa, Arabia, India and Southeast Asia into one trading world. No single empire controlled the whole network.

   • A. Railroads that carried travelers between cities
   • B. Crowded, growing towns where disease passed easily
   • C. Fleas on rats that traveled with caravans and ships
   • D. Printed pamphlets that spread the infection
   • E. Trade routes under Mongol rule that linked distant regions
   Mostra risposta e spiegazione

   Risposta: B. Crowded, growing towns where disease passed easily, C. Fleas on rats that traveled with caravans and ships, E. Trade routes under Mongol rule that linked distant regions

   Connected trade routes, fleas living on rats aboard ships and in caravans, and dense towns all helped the plague move quickly. Railroads and the printing press are anachronisms: the first would not exist for centuries, and printed pamphlets cannot carry a disease.

4. 4. Complete the sentence.

   The Ottoman, Safavid and Mughal empires are often called the _____ empires because cannons and firearms helped them conquer rivals and hold territory.

   Opzioni per lo spazio 1: maritime, steppe, gunpowder, tributary

   Mostra risposta e spiegazione

   Risposta: gunpowder

   Historians use gunpowder empires for states that combined firearms and artillery with strong central administration. The term is a shortcut, since each empire also relied on land taxes, large bureaucracies and legitimacy claims, not weapons alone.

5. 5. The devshirme system in the Ottoman Empire is best described as:

   • A. A tax paid only by Muslim merchants
   • B. A treaty system with European trading companies
   • C. The grant of land to nobles in return for cavalry
   • D. The levy of boys from Christian villages for state and military service
   Mostra risposta e spiegazione

   Risposta: D. The levy of boys from Christian villages for state and military service

   Under devshirme, boys from Christian communities in the Balkans were taken, converted and trained. Some became Janissaries, the elite infantry, and some rose to high office. It gave the sultan servants whose loyalty went to him, not to a noble family.

6. 6. Which labor system drew on an earlier Inca practice and forced Indigenous communities to supply workers for Spanish silver mines?

   • A. Indentured servitude
   • B. Mita
   • C. Corvee in France
   • D. The plantation lease
   Mostra risposta e spiegazione

   Risposta: B. Mita

   The Spanish adapted the Inca mita, a rotating labor obligation, to staff mines such as Potosi. Workers faced dangerous conditions and the system added to population loss in the Andes. The silver it produced flowed across the Pacific and Atlantic, linking the world economy.

7. 7. Which of these moved from Afro-Eurasia to the Americas as part of the Columbian Exchange?

   Seleziona tutte le risposte corrette.

   • A. Smallpox
   • B. Horses
   • C. Potatoes
   • D. Maize
   • E. Wheat
   Mostra risposta e spiegazione

   Risposta: A. Smallpox, B. Horses, E. Wheat

   Horses, smallpox and wheat crossed from Afro-Eurasia to the Americas. Potatoes and maize went the other way, and both became staple foods in Europe, Africa and Asia. Smallpox and other diseases killed a very large share of Indigenous peoples who had no earlier exposure.

8. 8. Which Enlightenment idea most directly challenged the divine right of kings?

   • A. Monarchs should tax only their own nobles
   • B. Governments get their authority from the consent of the governed
   • C. Faith is more reliable than reason
   • D. Trade should be controlled by the state
   Mostra risposta e spiegazione

   Risposta: B. Governments get their authority from the consent of the governed

   Thinkers such as Locke and Rousseau argued that political authority comes from the people, not from God. That idea shaped the American, French and Latin American revolutions. It also gave later reformers a language to demand rights.

9. 9. What made the Haitian Revolution historically significant?

   • A. It ended the Atlantic slave trade overnight
   • B. It made France give up all its colonies
   • C. It established a monarchy modeled on Britain
   • D. It created the first independent state founded by formerly enslaved people
   Mostra risposta e spiegazione

   Risposta: D. It created the first independent state founded by formerly enslaved people

   Enslaved people in Saint-Domingue, led in part by Toussaint Louverture, defeated colonial and European forces and declared Haiti independent in 1804. It shook slaveholding societies across the Atlantic world. It did not end the slave trade at once, and Haiti paid a heavy price for independence.

10. 10. Complete the sentence.

    During the _____ Revolution, factories powered by steam spread first in _____ before reaching other parts of the world.

    Opzioni per lo spazio 1: Industrial, Agricultural, Scientific, Neolithic

    Opzioni per lo spazio 2: Brazil, Britain, Japan, Russia

    Mostra risposta e spiegazione

    Risposta: Industrial, Britain

    Industrialization began in Britain in the late 1700s, helped by coal, iron, capital and a growing demand for textiles. It then spread to Western Europe, the United States and Japan. Factory work reshaped cities, families and global trade.

11. 11. Complete the sentence.

    In the 1800s, industrial states expanded overseas to gain raw materials and markets, a policy historians call _____.

    Opzioni per lo spazio 1: imperialism, mercantilism, isolationism, feudalism

    Mostra risposta e spiegazione

    Risposta: imperialism

    Industrial economies needed cotton, rubber, minerals and customers, and new technologies such as steamships and the telegraph made distant control easier. Mercantilism describes an earlier economic policy, and isolationism is the opposite of expansion.

12. 12. After World War I, what did the mandate system do with former Ottoman territories in the Middle East?

    • A. Placed them under British and French administration
    • B. Returned them to the Ottoman sultan
    • C. Granted all of them full independence
    • D. Divided them between the United States and Japan
    Mostra risposta e spiegazione

    Risposta: A. Placed them under British and French administration

    The League of Nations assigned mandates, and Britain and France took charge of places such as Iraq, Palestine, Syria and Lebanon. The system claimed to prepare peoples for self-rule while keeping imperial control. Disputes over the borders it drew still shape politics there.

    • B. The Korean War
    • C. The Vietnam War

    Mostra risposta e spiegazione

    In a proxy conflict, the superpowers backed opposing sides without fighting each other directly. Korea, Vietnam and Afghanistan all fit. The Crimean War and the Franco-Prussian War were fought in the nineteenth century, long before the Cold War.

14. 14. Which description best fits the Non-Aligned Movement?

    • A. A military alliance led by the Soviet Union
    • B. An economic union of European colonies
    • C. Newly independent states that avoided formal alliance with either superpower
    • D. A group of nations that sided with the United States
    Mostra risposta e spiegazione

    Risposta: C. Newly independent states that avoided formal alliance with either superpower

    Leaders from India, Egypt, Indonesia and Yugoslavia brought together states that wanted independence in foreign policy during the Cold War. The movement helped decolonizing nations speak with a shared voice, though its members often disagreed with each other.

    • C. Moving farming into cities
    • D. High-yield seed varieties, fertilizers and irrigation
    Mostra risposta e spiegazione

    Scientists developed high-yield varieties of wheat and rice that paid off when paired with fertilizer, pesticides and irrigation. Food output rose sharply in places such as India and Mexico. The costs were water use, debt for small farmers and loss of crop diversity.

Guida allo studio di AP World History: le nove unit

AP World History: Modern copre il periodo dal 1200 circa a oggi in nove unit, e non pesano tutte uguale. Le unit 1 e 2, Global Tapestry e Networks of Exchange, valgono ciascuna dall'8 al 10 per cento dell'esame. Le unit da 3 a 6 valgono ciascuna dal 12 al 15 per cento: Land-Based Empires, Transoceanic Interconnections, Revolutions e Consequences of Industrialization. Le unit 7, 8 e 9, Global Conflict, Cold War and Decolonization e Globalization, tornano all'8-10 per cento ciascuna. Le quattro unit centrali portano circa metà dell'esame, quindi meritano circa metà del tuo tempo di studio.

Il corso si regge anche su sei temi che attraversano ogni unit: gli esseri umani e l'ambiente, sviluppi e scambi culturali, governo, sistemi economici, relazioni e organizzazione sociale, tecnologia e innovazione. Una buona guida allo studio è una griglia con le unit in alto e i temi di lato. In ogni casella scrivi un fatto che potresti usare come prova. Una casella vuota è la tua prossima ora di studio.

Cosa chiede l'esame e come usare questo test di esercitazione

L'esame ha due parti. La Section I è di 55 domande a scelta multipla in 55 minuti più 3 domande a risposta breve in 40 minuti, insieme il 60 per cento del voto. La Section II è una domanda basata su documenti e un saggio lungo, insieme il 40 per cento. Il College Board ha annunciato modifiche alle domande a risposta breve e al saggio lungo a partire dall'esame di maggio 2027, quindi controlla la Course and Exam Description aggiornata per numero di domande e tempi prima di pianificare l'esercitazione.

Questo test ha 15 domande distribuite sulle nove unit. Usa anche la risposta multipla e il completamento di frasi, che la vera scelta multipla non usa, perché ricordare un termine è più difficile che riconoscerlo in un elenco. Fallo tutto d'un fiato, leggi ogni spiegazione e lascia che una risposta sbagliata ti indichi un'unit, non solo un fatto. Non allena i saggi. Per quelli, scegli una fonte, scrivi una tesi, sostienila con due prove precise e spiega perché contano l'autore, il pubblico o lo scopo.
