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 Bowl by 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 A small B wild C varied D particular Question 28: The word “ensures” is closest in meaning to A assumes B guarantees C proves D teaches 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 A time B object C development D goose 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 A smiling B crying C eating D grasping 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 A behavioral change B psychological need 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 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 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 Question 36: According to the passage, a modern scientist should be more concerned about A the consequences of his discoveries B his basic research C his manipulation of genes D the development of new ideas Question 37: The pronoun "it" in paragraph refers to A genetic engineering B an accomplishment C hereditary mechanism D a reality Question 38: It is implied in the passage that genetic engineering A will change all human traits B is no longer desirable C is the most desirable for life D may us more harm than good Question 39: The pronoun "they" in paragraph refers to 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 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 could best be replaced by " " A causing B depriving C finding D noticing 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?
