Ethology is concerned with the study of adaptive, or survival, value of behavior and its Evolutionary
history. Ethological theory began to be applied to research on children in the1960’s but has become even
more influential today. The origins of ethology can be traced to the work of Darwin. Its modern foundations
were laid by two European zoologists, Konrad Lorenz and Niko Tinbergen.
Watching the behaviors diverse animal species in their natural habitats, Lorenz, and Tinbergen observed
behavior patterns that promote survival. The most well-known of these is imprinting, the early following
behavior of certain baby birds that ensures that the young will stay close to their mother and be fed and
protected from danger. Imprinting takes place during an early, restricted time period of development. If the
mother goose is not present during this time, but an object resembling her in important features is, young
goslings may imprint on it instead . Observations of imprinting led to major concept that has been applied in
child Development” the critical period . It refers to a limited times span during which the child is biologically
prepared to acquire certain adaptive behaviors but needs the support of suitably stimulating environment.
Many researchers have conducted studies to find out whether complex cognitive and social behaviors must
be learned during restricted time periods. for example, if children are deprived of adequate food or physical
and social stimulation during the early years of life, will their intelligence be permanently impaired? 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 Bowlby 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

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

( ID: 98303 ) 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 do 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 2 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 do us more harm than good
Question 39: The pronoun "they" in paragraph 2 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 3 refers to ____.
A. the waste products dumped into our environment
B. serious environmental pollution

The person I admire most is my grade 4 teacher, Ms. Muir. She was my inspiration. She was a poet and gave
me ideas for my stories. I followed in the footsteps of Ms. Muir because she was fun and loved reading and
writing just as much as I do. Ms. Muir always gave me guidance, encouragement and a whole lot of
enjoyable things to do in grade four! Also, if something happened that bothered me or annoyed me, Ms. Muir
did the best she could to fix the problem, whatever it was. In grade four, during Writing Workshop, Ms. Muir

encouraged my friend and me to write a book after we told her our idea . On a previous blog homework in
grade 5, about why Kindree is the best, I wrote a poem. Believe it or not, the idea of writing that poem was

sheet to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions from 6 to 15.
A fold culture is small, isolated, cohesive, conservative, nearly self-sufficient group that is
homogeneous in custom and race, with a strong family or clan structure and highly developed
rituals.
Order is maintained through sanctions based in the religion or family, and interpersonal
relationships are strong. Tradition is paramount, and change comes infrequently and slowly. There
is relatively little division of labor into specialized duties. Rather, each person is expected to
perform a great variety of tasks, though duties may differ between the sexes. Most goods are
handmade, and a subsistence economy prevails. Individualism is weakly developed in folk
cultures, as are social classes. Unaltered folk cultures no longer exist in industrialized countries
such as the United States and Canada. Perhaps the nearest modern equivalent in Anglo-America is
the Amish, a German American farming sect that largely renounces the products and labor saving
devices of the industrial age. In Amish areas, horse-drawn buggies till serve as a local
transportation device, and the faithful are not permitted to own automobiles.
The Amish’s central religious concept of Demut, “humility”, clearly reflects the weakness of
individualism and social class so typical of folk cultures, and there is a corresponding strength of
Amish group identity. Rarely do the Amish marry outside their sect. The religion, a variety of the
Mennonite faith, provides the principal mechanism for maintaining order.
By contrast, a popular culture is a large heterogeneous group, often highly individualistic and
constantly changing. Relationships tend to be impersonal, and a pronounced division of labor
exists, leading to the establishment of many specialized professions. Secular institutions, of control
such as the police and army take the place of religion and family in maintaining order, and a
money-based economy prevails. Because of these contrasts, “popular” may be viewed as clearly

different from “folk”.
The popular is replacing the folk in industrialized countries and in many developing nations, Folk-
made objects give way to their popular equivalent, usually because the popular item is more
quickly or cheaply produced, is easier or time saving to use, or lends more prestige to the owner.
Question 6: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Two decades in modern society B. The influence of industrial technology
C. The characteristics of “folk” and “popular” societies
D. The specialization of labor in Canada and the United States

( ID: 97916 ) 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 35 to 44.
In the West, cartoons are used chiefly to make people laugh. The important feature of all these
cartoons is the joke and the element of surprise which is contained. Even though it is very funny, a

good cartoon is always based on close observation of a particular feature of life and usually has a
serious purpose.
Cartoons in the West have been associated with political and social matters for many years. In
wartime, for example, they proved to be an excellent way of spreading propaganda. Nowadays
cartoons are often used to make short, sharp comments on politics and governments as well as on a
variety of social matters. In this way, the modern cartoon has become a very powerful force in
influencing people in Europe and the United States.
Unlike most American and European cartoons, however, many Chinese cartoon drawings in the
past have also attempted to educate people, especially those who could not read and write. Such
cartoons about the lives and sayings of great men in China have proved extremely useful in
bringing education to illiterate and semi-literate people throughout China. Confucius, Mencius and
Laozi have all appeared in very interesting stories presented in the form of cartoons. The cartoons
themselves have thus served to illustrate the teachings of the Chinese sages in a very attractive
way.
In this sense, many Chinese cartoons are different from Western cartoons in so far as they do not
depend chiefly on telling jokes. Often, there is nothing to laugh at when you see Chinese cartoons.
This is not their primary aim. In addition to commenting on serious political and social matters,
Chinese cartoons have aimed at spreading the traditional Chinese thoughts and culture as widely as
possible among the people.
Today, however, Chinese cartoons have an added part to play in spreading knowledge. They offer a

>> Truy cập để học Toán – Lý – Hóa – Sinh – Văn – Anh tốt nhất! 4/10

very attractive and useful way of reaching people throughout the world, regardless of the particular
country in which they live. Thus, through cartoons, the thoughts and teachings of the old Chinese
philosophers and sages can now reach people who live in such countries as Britain, France,
America, Japan, Malaysia or Australia and who are unfamiliar with the Chinese culture.
Until recently, the transfer of knowledge and culture has been overwhelmingly from the West to
the East and not vice versa. By means of cartoons, however, publishing companies in Taiwan,
Hong Kong and Singapore are now having success in correcting this imbalance between the East

and the West.
Cartoons can overcome language barriers in all foreign countries. The vast increase in the
popularity of these cartoons serves to illustrate the truth of Confucius’s famous saying “One picture
is worth a thousand words.”
Question 35: Which of the following clearly characterizes Western cartoons?
A. Enjoyment, liveliness, and carefulness. B. Seriousness, propaganda, and attractiveness.
C. Humour, unexpectedness, and criticism. D. Originality, freshness, and astonishment.
Question 36: Chinese cartoons have been useful as an important means of _________.
A. educating ordinary people B. spreading Western ideas
C. amusing people all the time D. political propaganda in wartime
Question 37: The major differences between Chinese cartoons and Western cartoons come from
their _________. .
A. purposes B. nationalities C. values D. styles
Question 38: The pronoun “this” in paragraph 4 mostly refers to_________. .
A. a piece of art B. an educational purpose
C. a funny element D. a propaganda campaign
Question 39: The passage is intended to present_________. .
A. a contrast between Western cartoons and Chinese cartoons
B. a description of cartoons of all kinds the world over
C. an outline of Western cartoons and Chinese cartoons
D. an opinion about how cartoons entertain people
Question 40: Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A. Chinese Cartoons and Western Cartoons B. A Very Powerful Force in Influencing People
C. An Excellent Way of Spreading Propaganda D. Cartoons as a Way of Educating People
Question 41: In general, Chinese cartoons are now aiming at _________. .
A. bringing education to illiterate and semi-literate people in the world
B. disseminating traditional practices in China and throughout the world
C. illustrating the truth of Chinese great men’s famous sayings
D. spreading the Chinese ideas and cultural values throughout the world
Question 42: The word “imbalance” in paragraph 6 refers to _________. .

A. the mismatch between the East cartoons and the West cartoons
B. the dominant cultural influence of the West over the East
C. the influence of the East cartoons over the West cartoons
D. the discrimination between the West culture and the East culture
Question 43: Which of the following is most likely the traditional subject of Chinese cartoons?
A. Jokes and other kinds of humour in political and social matters.
B. The philosophies and sayings of ancient Chinese thinkers.
C. The illiterate and semi-literate people throughout China.
D. The stories and features of the lives of great men the world over.
Question 44: According to the passage, which of the following is true?

In the American colonies there was little money. England did not supply the colonies with coins and did not
allow the colonies to make their own coins, except for the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which received
permission for a short period in 1652 to make several kinds of silver coins. England wanted to keep money
out of America as a means of controlling trade: America was forced to trade only with England if it did not
have the money to buy products from other countries. The result during this pre-revolutionary period was
that the colonists used various goods in place of money: beaver pelts, Indian wampum, and tobacco leaves
were all commonly used substitutes for money. The colonists also made use of any foreign coins they could
obtain. Dutch, Spanish, French, and English coins were all in use in the American colonies.
During the Revolutionary War, funds were needed to finance the world, so each of the individual states and
the Continental Congress issued paper money. So much of this paper money was printed that by the end of
the war, almost no one would accept it. As a result, trade in goods and the use of foreign coins still
flourished during this period.
By the time the Revolutionary War had been won by the American colonists, the monetary system was in a
state of total disarray. To remedy this situation, the new Constitution of the United States, approved in
