whether marsupials, platypuses, spiny anteaters, or placental mammals - have in common But not all animal parents, even those that tend their offspring to the point of hatching or birth, feed their young Most eggguarding fish not, for the simple reason that their young are so much smaller than the parents and eat food that is also much smaller than the food eaten by adults In reptiles, the crocodile mother protects her young after they have hatched and takes them down to the water, where they will find food, but she does not actually feed them Few insects feed their young after hatching, but some make other arrangement, provisioning their cells and nests with caterpillars and spiders that they have paralyzed with their venom and stored in a state of suspended animation so that their larvae might have a supply of fresh food when they hatch For animals other than mammals, then, feeding is not intrinsic to parental care Animals add it to their reproductive strategies to give them an edge in their lifelong quest for descendants The most vulnerable moment in any animal's life is when it first finds itself completely on its own, when it must forage and fend for itself Feeding postpones that moment until a young animal has grown to such a size that it is better able to cope Young that are fed by their parents become nutritionally independent at a much greater fraction of their full adult size And in the meantime those young are shielded against the vagaries of fluctuating of difficult-to-find supplies Once a species does take the step of feeding its young, the young become totally dependent on the extra effort If both parents are removed, the young generally not survive Question 34: What can be inferred from the passage about the practice of animal parents feeding their young?

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 questions Native Americans probably arrived from Asia in successive waves over several millennia, crossing a plain hundreds of miles wide that now lies inundated by 160 feet of water released by melting glaciers For several periods of time, the first beginning around 60,000 B C and the last ending around 7,000 B.C., this land bridge was open The first people travelled in the dusty trails of the animals they hunted They brought with them not only their families, weapons, and tools but also a broad metaphysical understanding, sprung from dreams and visions and articulated in myth and song, which complemented their scientific and historical knowledge of the lives of animals and of people All this they shaped in a variety of languages, bringing into being oral literatures of power and beauty Contemporary readers, forgetting the origins of western epic, lyric, and dramatic forms, are easily disposed to think of "literature" only as something written But on reflection it becomes clear that the more critically useful as well as the more frequently employed sense of the term concerns the artfulness of the verbal creation, not its mode of presentation Ultimately, literature is aesthetically valued, regardless of language, culture, or mode of presentation, because some significant verbal achievement results from the struggle in words between tradition and talent Verbal art has the ability to shape out a compelling inner vision in some skillfully crafted public verbal form Of course, the differences between the written and oral modes of expression are not without consequences for an understanding of Native American literature The essential difference is that a speech event is an evolving communication, an "emergent form", the shape, functions, and aesthetic values of which become more clearly realized over the course of the performance In performing verbal art, the performer assumes responsibility for the manner as well as the content of the performance, while the audience assumes the responsibility for evaluating the performer’s competence in both areas It is this intense mutual engagement that elicits the display of skill and shapes the emerging performance Where written literature provides us with a tradition of texts, oral literature offers a tradition of performances Question 29: According to the passage, why did the first people who came to North America leave their homeland?
