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.

Animals have an intuitive awareness of quantities. They know without analysis the difference between a number of objects and a smaller number. In his book " The Natural History of Selboure " (1786), the naturalist Gilbert White tells how he surreptitiously removed one egg a day from a plover's nest , and how the mother laid another egg each day to make up for the missing one. He noted that other species of birds ignore the absence of a single egg but abandon their nests if more than one egg has been removed. It has also been noted by naturalists that a certain type of wasp always provides five – never four, never six - 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 do not amount to evidence of counting, nor do they reveal more than innate instincts, refined by the genes of successive generations, or the results of clever, careful conditioning by trainers.

Question 6/ 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

C. Although animals may be aware of quantities, they cannot actually count.

Question 8/ The word "surreptitiously" is closest in meaning to ______.

A. stubbornly                       B. secretly                   C. quickly                    D. occasionally

Question 9/ The word "odd" refers to which of the following?

A. numbers such as 1, 3, 5 and so on                       B. unusual numbers

C. lucky numbers                                                      D. numbers such as 2, 4, 6 and so on

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 13/ 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."

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

Long before they can actually speak, babies pay special attention to the speech they hear around them.Within the first month of their lives, babies'responses to the sound of the human voice will be different from their responses to other sorts of auditory stimuli.

They will stop crying when they hear a person talking, but not if they hear a bell or the sound of a rattle.At first, the sounds that an infant notices might be only those words that receive the heaviest emphasis and that often occur at the ends of utterances.By the time they are six or seven weeks old, babies can detect the difference between syllables pronounced with rising and falling inflections.Very soon, these differences in adult stress and intonation can influence babies' emotional states and behavior.Long before they develop actual language comprehension, babies can sense when an adult is playful or angry, attempting to initiate or terminate new behavior, and so on, merely on the basis of cues such as the rate, volume, and melody of adult speech.

Adults make it as easy as they can for babies to pick up a language by exaggerating such cues.One researcher observed babies and their mothers in six diverse cultures and found that, in all six languages, the mothers used simplified syntax , short utterances and nonsense sounds, and transformed certain sounds into baby talk.Other investigators have noted that when mothers talk to babies who are only a few months old, they exaggerate the pitch , loudness, and intensity of their words.They also exaggerate their facial expressions, hold vowels longer, and emphasize certain words.

More significant for language development than their response to general intonation is observation that tiny babies can make relatively fine distinctions between speech sounds other words, babies enter the world with the ability to make precisely those perceptual discriminations that are necessary if they are to acquire aural language.

Babies obviously derive pleasure from sound input, too: even as young as nine months they will listen to songs or stories, although the words themselves are beyond their understanding.For babies, language is a sensory-motor delight rather than the route to prosaic meaning that it often is for adults.

Question 26/ What does the passage mainly discuss?

A.How babies differentiate between the sound of the human voice and other sounds

B.The differences between a baby's and an adult's ability to comprehend language

C.How babies perceive and respond to the human voice in their earliest stages of language development

D. The response of babies to sounds other than the human voice

Question 27/ why does the author mention a bell and a rattle in lines 4-5?

A.To contrast the reactions of babies to human and nonhuman sounds

B.To give examples of sounds that will cause a baby to cry

C.To explain how babies distinguish between different nonhuman sounds

D.To give examples of typical toys that babies do not like.
