correct answer to each of the questions from 28 to 34 Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember past events, anticipate future ones, make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group These scientists, however, are cautious about the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious processing Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions entirely to instinct leave many questions Starters-movers-flyers.com unanswered One example of such unexplained behavior: Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern The orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the sun's position in the sky, and the speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive Most researchers assume that the ability to perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence But in one study, when experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent farther from the previous site, foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next When the researchers arrived at the new location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their food No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could have inferred the location of the new site Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use Many animals, like the otter who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment as rudimentary tools One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young how to use tools to open hard nuts In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells containing chocolate chips One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other our chips and three chips Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher total, showing some sort of summing ability Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label quantities of items and simple sums Question 28: What does the passage mainly discuss? A Observations that suggest consciousness in animal behavior B The use of food in studies of animal behavior C The role of instinct in animal behavior D Differences between the behavior of animals in their natural environments and in laboratory experiments Question 29: Which of the following is NOT discussed as an ability animals are thought to have? A Communicating emotions B Remembering past experiences C Selecting among choices D Anticipating events to come Question 30: What did researchers discover in the study of honeybees discussed in paragraph 2? A Bees are able to travel at greater speeds than scientists thought B The bees were able to determine in advance where scientists would place their food C Changing the location of food caused bees to decrease their dance activity D The bees could travel 25% farther than scientists expected Question 31: It can be inferred from the passage that brain size is assumed to _ A be an indicator of cognitive ability B be related to food consumption C correspond to levels of activity D vary among individuals within a species Question 32: Why are otters and mussel shells included in the discussion in paragraph 3? A To provide that certain species demonstrate greater ability in tool use than other species Starters-movers-flyers.com B To provide an example of tool use among animals C To show that animals are very good at using objects in their habitat D To provide an example of the use of weapons among animals Question 33: The word “rudimentary” is closest in meaning to _ A technical B basic C superior D original Question 34: Scientists concluded from the experiment with chimpanzees and chocolate chips that chimpanzees A prefer to work in pairs or groups B have difficulty selecting when given choices C lack abilities that other primates have D exhibit behavior that indicates certain mathematical abilities Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word for each of the blanks Television has changed the lifestyle of people in every industrialized country in the world In the United States, where sociologists have studied the effects, some interesting observations have been made TV, although not essential, has become a(n) (35) part of most people’s lives It has become a babysitter, an initiator of conversations, a major transmitter of culture, and a keeper of traditions Yet when what can be seen on TV in one day is critically analyzed, it becomes evident that TV is not a teacher but a sustainer The poor quality of programs does not elevate people into greater (36) , but rather maintains and encourages the status quo The (37) reason for the lack of quality in American TV is related to both the history of TV development and the economics of TV TV in American began with the radio Radio companies and their sponsors first experimented with TV Therefore, the close relationship, which the advertisers had with radio programs, but many actually produced the programs Thus, (38) from the capitalistic, profit- oriented sector of American society, TV is primarily concerned with reflecting and attracting society (39) than innovating and experimenting with new ideas Advertisers want to attract the largest viewing audience possible;
