indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions

Ethology is concerned with the study of adaptive, or survival, value of behavior and its Evolutionary history Ethological theory began to be applied to research on children in the1960’s but has become even more influential today The origins of ethology can be traced to the work of Darwin Its modern foundations were laid by two European zoologists, Konrad Lorenz and Niko Tinbergen

Watching the behaviors diverse animal species in their natural habitats, Lorenz, and Tinbergen observed

behavior patterns that promote survival The most well-known of these is imprinting, the early following

behavior of certain baby birds that ensures that the young will stay close to their mother and be fed and

protected from danger Imprinting takes place during an early, restricted time period of development If the mother goose is not present during this time, but an object resembling her in important features is, young

goslings may imprint on it instead Observations of imprinting led to major concept that has been applied in

child Development” the critical period It refers to a limited times span during which the child is biologically

prepared to acquire certain adaptive behaviors but needs the support of suitably stimulating environment

Many researchers have conducted studies to find out whether complex cognitive and social behaviors must

be learned during restricted time periods for example, if children are deprived of adequate food or physical and social stimulation during the early years of life, will their intelligence be permanently impaired? If language is not mastered during the preschool years, is the child’s capacity to acquire it reduced?

Inspired by observations of imprinting, in 1969 the British psychoanalyst John Bowlby applied ethological theory to the understanding of the relationship between an infant and its parents He argued that attachment behaviors of babies, such as smiling, babbling, grasping, and crying, are built-in social signals that encourage the parents to approach, care for, and interact with the baby By keeping a parent near, these behaviors help ensure that the baby will be fed, protected from danger, and provided with the stimulation and affection necessary for healthy growth The development of attachment in human infants is a lengthy process

involving changes in psychological structures that lead to a deep affectional tie between parent and baby

Question 26: What was Darwin’s contribution to ethology?

A Darwin was the first person to apply ethological theory to children

B Darwin’s work provided the basis for ethology

C Darwin was the professor who taught Lorenz and Tinbergen

D Darwin improved on the original principles of ethology

Question 27: The word “diverse” is closest in meaning to

Question 28: The word “ensures” is closest in meaning to

Question 29: According to the passage, if a mother goose is not present during the time period when

imprinting takes place, which of the following will most likely occur?

A The mother will later imprint on the gosling

B The gosling may not find a mate when it matures

C The gosling will not imprint on any object

D The gosling may imprint on another object

Question 30: The word “it” refers to

Question 31: The word “suitably” is closest in meaning to

A moderately B appropriately C willingly D emotionally

Question 32: The author mentions all of the following as attachment behaviors of human infants EXCEPT

Question 33: According to the passage, attachment behaviors of infants are intended to

A prepare the infant to cope with separation

B provide the infant with a means of self-stimulation

C allow the infant to become imprinted on objects that resemble the parent

D get the physical, emotional and social needs of the infant met

Question 34: The phrase “affectional tie” is closest in meaning to

C cognitive development D emotional attachment

Question 35: It can be inferred from the passage that ethological theory assumes that

A failure to imprint has no influence on intelligence

B to learn about human behavior only human subjects should be studied

C there are similarities between animal and human behavior

D the notion of critical periods applies only to animals

( ID: 98303 ) Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B , C or D on your answer sheet to

indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions

The biologist's role in society as well as his moral and ethical responsibility in the discovery and development of new ideas has led to a reassessment of his social and scientific value systems A scientist can

no longer ignore the consequences of his discoveries; he is as concerned with the possible misuses of his findings as he is with the basic research in which he is involved This emerging social and political role of the biologist and all other scientists requires a weighing of values that cannot be done with the accuracy or the objectivity of a laboratory balance As a member of society, it is necessary for a biologist now to redefine his social obligations and his functions, particularly in the realm of making judgments about such ethical problems as man's control of his environment or his manipulation of genes to direct further evolutionary development

As a result of recent discoveries concerning hereditary mechanisms, genetic engineering, by which human

traits are made to order, may soon be a reality As desirable as it may seem to be, such an accomplishment

would entail many value judgments Who would decide, for example, which traits should be selected for change? In cases of genetic deficiencies and disease, the desirability of the change is obvious, but the

possibilities for social misuse are so numerous that they may far outweigh the benefits

Probably the greatest biological problem of the future, as it is of the present, will be to find ways to curb environmental pollution without interfering with man's constant effort to improve the quality of his life

Many scientists believe that underlying the spectre of pollution is the problem of surplus human population

A rise in population necessitates an increase in the operations of modern industry, the waste products of

which increase the pollution of air, water, and soil The question of how many people the resources of the

Earth can support is one of critical importance

Although the solutions to these and many other problems are yet to be found, they do indicate the need for biologists to work with social scientists and other members of society in order to determine the requirements necessary for maintaining a healthy and productive planet For although many of man's present and future problems may seem to be essentially social, political, or economic in nature, they have biological

ramifications that could affect the very existence of life itself

A possibilities for genetic deficiencies

B cases of genetic deficiencies

C discoveries concerning hereditary mechanisms

D effects of genetic engineering misuse

Question 40: What is probably the most important biological problem mentioned in the passage?

A environmental pollution B manipulation of genes

C genetic engineering misuse D social and economic deficiencies

Question 41: The word "which" in paragraph 3 refers to

A the waste products dumped into our environment

B serious environmental pollution

C activities of surplus human population

D activities of an overpopulated society's industry

Question 42: The word "underlying" in paragraph 3 could best be replaced by " "

Question 43: According to the passage, to save our planet, biologists should work

A with other social scientists B accurately and objectively

C on social and political purposes D harder and harder

Question 44: Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word "ramifications" in paragraph 4?

Sample 1 : A cool teacher

The person I admire most is my grade 4 teacher, Ms Muir She was my inspiration She was a poet and gave

me ideas for my stories I followed in the footsteps of Ms Muir because she was fun and loved reading and writing just as much as I do Ms Muir always gave me guidance, encouragement and a whole lot of enjoyable things to do in grade four! Also, if something happened that bothered me or annoyed me, Ms Muir did the best she could to fix the problem, whatever it was In grade four, during Writing Workshop, Ms Muir encouraged my friend and me to write a book after we told her our idea On a previous blog homework in grade 5, about why Kindree is the best, I wrote a poem Believe it or not, the idea of writing that poem was

inspired by Ms Muir and her love of poetry Ms Muir was an awesome teacher who motivated me I really admire Ms Muir and she inspires me

Sample 2: A father
