each of the questions Then mark your choice on the answer sheet Memory is a vital characteristic of the human species Organisms evolve to adapt to their environments in many diferent ways There are, however, two broad classes of adaptation The first of these involves preprogramming the organism to cope with its environment so that it is born with all the necessary instincts and equipment to operate efficiently and efectively with virtually no learning This is clearly a very successful means of adaptation and has enabled an enormous range of organisms, from plants, bacteria, and insects to (simple) vertebrates, to continue to flourish for millions of years Such organisms have their mode of adaptation “wired in” and, such, have minimal need for learning or memory The school involves the production of an organism which is adaptable Here, there is much less preprogramming, and the organism is left to modify its behavior in response to its environment This allows for considerably greater complexity and variability of behavior It also demands a larger brain and is heavily dependent on the capacity to learn and remember The human race is the obvious example of this from of evolution – our ability to learn and remember has allow us to develop tools and language, technologies which in turn vastly increased our ability to store and communicate yet more information through writing, and subsequently films, videos, and computers, all of which can be regarded as an extension of the memory However, without the individual’s memory, the vast storage of information in the libraries all over the world would be incomprehensible Accordingly, the ability to learn and remember, allowing as it does for the development of language, is perhaps out most crucial characteristic Question 76: The author mentions all of the following in connection with the first class of adaptation EXCEPT A Ability to deal with the environment B State of being programmed in advance C Process of being wired into equipment D Possession of the requisite instincts Question 77: According to the passage, many organisms have existed for millions of years because they A have inbuilt resources B continually adapt to the environment C have no memory D are unable to learn Question 78: According to the passage, the organism of the second class A changes the behavior constantly B relies upon its memory C modifies the environment D learns very quickly Question 79: The author suggests that a human being’s memory is A partly responsible for the growth of the language B a tool used for understanding C supported by technological advances D dependent upon the storage of writing Question 80: It can be inferred from the passage that man’s most important characteristic is A the ability to speak B the capacity to remember C the skill of storing information D an aptitude for writing The end Hä tªn thÝ sinh: …………………………………………………………………………………………… Sè báo danh: Trang 5/5 Mã đề 168 DAP AN MA
