caterpillars for each of their eggs so that their young have something to eat when the eggs hatch Research has also shown that both mice and pigeons can be taught to distinguish between odd and even numbers of food pieces These and similar accounts have led some people to infer that creatures other than humans can actually count They also point to dogs that have been taught to respond to numerical questions with the correct number of barks, or to horses that seem to solve arithmetic problems by stomping their hooves the proper number of times Animals respond to quantities only when they are connected to survival as a species – as in the case of the eggs – or survival as individuals - as in the case of food There is no transfer to other situations or from concrete reality to the abstract notion of numbers Animals can “count” only when the objects are present and only when the numbers involved are small – not more than seven or eight In lab experiments, animals trained to “count” one kind of object were unable to count any other type The objects, not the numbers, are what interest them Animals admittedly remarkable achievements simply not amount to evidence of counting, nor they reveal more than innate instincts, refined by the genes of successive generations, or the results of clever, careful conditioning by trainers Question 36: The word “they” refer to A numbers B animals C achievements D genes Question 37: The word “odd” refers to which of the following?

A When asked by its trainer how old it is, a monkey holds up five fingers B A lion follows one antelope instead of the herd of antelopes because it is easier to hunt a single prey C When one of its four kittens crawls away, a mother cat misses it and searches for the kitten D A pigeon is more attracted by a box containing two pieces of food than by a box containing one piece Question 40: The word “surreptitiously” is closest in meaning to A stubbornly B secretly C quickly D occasionally Question 41: What is the main idea of this passage? A Of all animals, dogs and horses can count best B Careful training is required to teach animals to perform tricks involving numbers Hocmai.vn – Ngôi tr ng chung c a h c trò Vi t T ng đài t v n: 1900 58-58-12 - Trang | - Khóa h c LT H KIT-2: Môn Ti ng Anh (Cô Nguy n Ng c Anh) s 05 C Although animals may be aware of quantities, they cannot actually count D Animals cannot “count” more than one kind of object Question 42: Where in the passage does the author mention research that supports his own view of animals’ inability to count? A “In his book …… the missing one.” B “In lab experiments…….other type” C “Research has shown that …… food pieces.” D “These and similar accounts … count.” Question 43: Why does the author refer to Gilbert White’s book in line 2?
