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 from 36 to 42
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 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. 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 do simple
sums.
Question 36: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The role of instinct in animal behavior
B. Observations that suggest consciousness in animal behavior
C. The use of food in studies of animal behavior
D. Differences between the behavior of animals in their natural environments and in laboratory experiments.
Question 37: Which of the following is NOT discussed as an ability animals are thought to have?
A. Selecting among choices B. Anticipating events to come
C. Remembering past experiences D. Communicating emotions
Question 38: What is the purpose of the honeybee dance?
A. To determine the quantity of food at a site
B. To communicate the location of food
C. To increase the speed of travel to food sources
D. To identify the type of nectar that is available
Question 39: The word “yet” in line 15 is closest in meaning to
A. however B. since C. generally D. so far
Question 40: It can be inferred from the passage that brain size is assumed to _________.
A. be an indicator of cognitive ability B. vary among individuals within a species
C. be related to food consumption D. correspond to levels of activity
Question 41: 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.
B. To provide an example of tool use among animals.
C. To show that animals are very good at using objects in their habitat.

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 from 43 to 50.
The Native American peoples of the north Pacific Coast created a highly complex maritime culture as
they invented modes of production unique to their special environment. In addition to their sophisticated
technical culture, they also attained one of the most complex social organizations of any nonagricultural people in
the world.
In a division of labor similar to that of the hunting peoples in the interior and among foraging peoples
throughout the world, the men did most of the fishing, and the women processed the catch. Women also
specialized in the gathering of the abundant shellfish that lived closer to shore. They collected oysters, crabs, sea
urchins, abalone, and clams, which they could gather while remaining close to their children. The maritime life
harvested by the women not only provided food, but also supplied more of the raw materials for making tools
than did fish gathered by the men. Of particular importance for the native tool than did the fish gathered by the
men. Of particular made from the larger mussel shells, and a variety of cutting edges that could be made from
other marine shells.
The women used their tools to process all of the fish and marine mammals brought in by the men. They
cleaned the fish, and dried vast quantities of them for the winter. They sun - dried fish when practical, but in the
rainy climate of the coastal area they also used smokehouses to preserve tons of fish and other seafood annually.
Each product had its own peculiar characteristics that demanded a particular way of cutting or drying the meat,
and each task required its own cutting blades and other utensils.
After drying the fish, the women pounded some of them into fish meal, which was an easily transported
food used in soups, stews, or other dishes to provide protein and thickening in the absence of fresh fish or while
on long trips. The women also made a cheese-like substance from a mixture of fish and roe by aging it in
storehouses or by burying it in wooden boxes or pits lined with rocks and tree leaves.
