All mammals feed their young Beluga whale mothers, for example, nurse their calves for some twenty months, until theyare about to give birth again and their young are able to find their own food The behaviour of feeding of the young is builtinto the reproductive system It is a non-elective part of parental care and the defining feature of a mammal, the mostimportant thing that mammals - 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

egg-guarding fish do not, for the simple reason that their young are so much smaller than the parents and eat food that is alsomuch smaller than the food eaten by adults In reptiles, the crocodile mother protects her young after they have hatched andtakes them down to the water, where they will find food, but she does not actually feed them Few insects feed their youngafter hatching, but some make other arrangement, provisioning their cells and nests with caterpillars and spiders that theyhave paralyzed with their venom and stored in a state of suspended animation so that their larvae might have a supply of freshfood when they hatch

Trang 3

For animals other than mammals, then, feeding is not intrinsic to parental care Animals add it to their reproductivestrategies to give them an edge in their lifelong quest for descendants The most vulnerable moment in any animal's life iswhen 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 thevagaries of fluctuating of difficult-to-find supplies Once a species does take the step of feeding its young, the young becometotally dependent on the extra effort If both parents are removed, the young generally do not survive

Question 34: What can be inferred from the passage about the practice of animal parents feeding their young?

A It is unknown among fish B It is unrelated to the size of the young.

C It is dangerous for the parents D It is most common among mammals.

Question 35: According to the passage, animal young are most defenseless when

A They first become independent B They are only a few days old

C Their parents have many young to feed D Their parents are away searching for food

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 questions.

Native Americans probably arrived from Asia in successive waves over several millennia, crossing a plain hundreds ofmiles wide that now lies inundated by 160 feet of water released by melting glaciers For several periods of time, the firstbeginning 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 complementedtheir 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 employedsense of the term concerns the artfulness of the verbal creation, not its mode of presentation Ultimately, literature isaesthetically valued, regardless of language, culture, or mode of presentation, because some significant verbal achievementresults from the struggle in words between tradition and talent Verbal art has the ability to shape out a compelling innervision in some skillfully crafted public verbal form

Of course, the differences between the written and oral modes of expression are not without consequences for anunderstanding 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 theperformance In performing verbal art, the performer assumes responsibility for the manner as well as the content of theperformance, while the audience assumes the responsibility for evaluating the performer’s competence in both areas It is this

Trang 4

intense mutual engagement that elicits the display of skill and shapes the emerging performance Where written literatureprovides us with a tradition of texts, oral literature offers a tradition of performances.

Question 43: What can be inferred about the nature of the Native American literature discussed in the passage?

A It reflects historical and contemporary life in Asia.

B It is reshaped each time it is experienced.

C It is based primarily on scientific knowledge.

D Its main focus is on daily activities.

Question 44: According to the passage, what responsibility does the audience of a verbal art performance have?

A They provide financial support for performances.

B They judge the quality of the content and presentation.

C They determine the length of the performance by requesting a continuation.

D They participate in the performance by chanting responses.

Question 45: What is the main point of the second paragraph?

A Oral narratives are a valid form of literature.

B Public performance is essential to verbal art.

C Native Americans have a strong oral tradition in art.

D The production of literature provides employment for many artists.

Question 46: Which of the following is NOT true of the Native American literature discussed in the passage?

A It expresses an inner vision B It has a set form.

Question 47: The word "they" in paragraph 1 refers to

Question 48: The phrase "are easily disposed" in paragraph 2 is closet in meaning to

A demonstrate reluctance B often fail C have a tendency D readily encourage others Question 49: What is the author’s attitude towards Native American literature?

A Skeptical about its origins B Critical of the cost of its production

Question 50: According to the passage, why did the first people who came to North America leave their homeland?

A They were hoping to find a better climate B They were following instructions given in a dream.

C They were seeking freedom D They were looking for food.

All mammals feed their young Beluga whale mothers, for example, nurse their calves for some twenty months, until theyare about to give birth again and their young are able to find their own food The behaviour of feeding of the young is builtinto the reproductive system It is a non-elective part of parental care and the defining feature of a mammal, the mostimportant thing that mammals - 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

egg-guarding fish do not, for the simple reason that their young are so much smaller than the parents and eat food that is alsomuch smaller than the food eaten by adults In reptiles, the crocodile mother protects her young after they have hatched andtakes them down to the water, where they will find food, but she does not actually feed them Few insects feed their youngafter hatching, but some make other arrangement, provisioning their cells and nests with caterpillars and spiders that theyhave paralyzed with their venom and stored in a state of suspended animation so that their larvae might have a supply of freshfood when they hatch

For animals other than mammals, then, feeding is not intrinsic to parental care Animals add it to their reproductivestrategies to give them an edge in their lifelong quest for descendants The most vulnerable moment in any animal's life iswhen 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 thevagaries of fluctuating of difficult-to-find supplies Once a species does take the step of feeding its young, the young becometotally dependent on the extra effort If both parents are removed, the young generally do not survive

Question 36: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A The importance among young mammals of becoming independent.

B The difficulties young animals face in obtaining food.

C The care that various animals give to their offspring.

D The methods that mammals use to nurse their young.

Question 37: The author lists various animals in paragraph 1 to

A emphasize the point that every type of mammal feeds its own young

B contrast the feeding habits of different types of mammals

C explain why a particular feature of mammals is nonelective

D describe the process by which mammals came to be defined

Question 38: The word "it" in paragraph 3 refers to

Question 39: According to the passage, animal young are most defenseless when

A Their parents are away searching for food B Their parents have many young to feed

C They are only a few days old D They first become independent

Question 40: According to the passage, how do some insects make sure their young have food?

A By searching for food some distance from their nest.

B By locating their nests or cells near spiders and caterpillars.

C By gathering food from a nearby water source.

D By storing food near their young.

Question 41: What can be inferred from the passage about the practice of animal parents feeding their young?

A It is dangerous for the parents B It is most common among mammals.

C It is unknown among fish D It is unrelated to the size of the young.

Question 42: The word "tend" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to

Native Americans probably arrived from Asia in successive waves over several millennia, crossing a plain hundreds ofmiles wide that now lies inundated by 160 feet of water released by melting glaciers For several periods of time, the firstbeginning 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 complementedtheir 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 employedsense of the term concerns the artfulness of the verbal creation, not its mode of presentation Ultimately, literature isaesthetically valued, regardless of language, culture, or mode of presentation, because some significant verbal achievementresults from the struggle in words between tradition and talent Verbal art has the ability to shape out a compelling innervision in some skillfully crafted public verbal form

Of course, the differences between the written and oral modes of expression are not without consequences for anunderstanding 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 theperformance In performing verbal art, the performer assumes responsibility for the manner as well as the content of theperformance, while the audience assumes the responsibility for evaluating the performer’s competence in both areas It is this

A They were looking for food B They were following instructions given in a dream.

A It is based primarily on scientific knowledge.

B Its main focus is on daily activities.

C It reflects historical and contemporary life in Asia.

D It is reshaped each time it is experienced.

Question 45: The phrase "are easily disposed" in paragraph 2 is closet in meaning to
