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.

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

sad, he shows me the way out. Whenever I break my glasses, he fixes them. My dad always has good
listening ears and I can talk to him about everything. He always gives good advice. I will always love my
dad, a good inspiration.

Federal Express is a company that specializes in rapid overnight delivery of high-priority packages. The first
company of its type, Federal Express was founded by the youthful Fred Smith in 1971, when he was only 28 years
old. Smith had actually developed the idea for the rapid delivery service in a term paper for an economics class
when he was a student at Yale University. The term paper reputedly received a less-than-stellar grade because of the
infeasibility of the project that Smith had outlined. The model that Smith proposed had never been tried; it was a
model that was efficient to operate but at the same time was very difficult to institute.

>> Truy cập để học Toán – Lý – Hóa – Sinh – Văn – Anh tốt nhất! 3/10

Smith achieved efficiency in his model by designing a system that was separate from the passenger system and
could, therefore, focus on how to deliver packages most efficiently. His strategy was to own his own planes so that
he could create his own schedules and to ship all packages through the hub city of Memphis, a set-up which
resembles the spokes on the wheel of a bicycle. With this combination of his own planes and hub set-up, he could
get packages anywhere in the United States overnight.
What made Smith's idea difficult to institute was the fact that the entire system had to be created before the
company could begin operations. He needed a fleet of aircraft to collect packages from airports every night and
deliver them to Memphis, where they were immediately sorted and flown out to their new destinations; he needed a
fleet of trucks to deliver packages to and from the various airports; he needed facilities and trained staff all in place
to handle the operation. Smith had a $4 million inheritance from his father, and he managed to raise an additional
$91 million dollars from venture capitalists to get the company operating.
When Federal Express began service in 1973 in 25 cities, the company was not an immediate success, but success
did come within a relatively short period of time. The company lost $29 million in the first 26 months of operations.
However, the tide was to turn relatively quickly. By late 1976, Federal Express was carrying an average of 19.000
packages per night and had made a profit of $3,6.

( ID: 89895) 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 67 to 76.
Ralph Earl was born into a Connecticut farm family in 1751. He chose early to become a painter and looked for
what training was available in his home state an in Boston. Earl was one of the first American artists to paint
landscapes. Among his first paintings were scenes from the Revolutionary war battles of Lexington and Concord In
1778 Earl went to London to study with Benjamin West for four years.
When Earl returned to the United States, he was jailed for fourteen months for outstanding debts. While still a
prisoner, he painted portraits of some of New York City's most elegant society women and their husbands. After his
release, he took up the trade of itinerant portrait painter, working his way through southern New England and New
York. He didn't flatter his subjects, but his portrait show a deep understanding of them; perhaps he had sprung from
the same roots.
Among Earl's most famous paintings is his portrait of Justice Oliver Ellsworth and his wife, Abigail. To provide
counterpoint to the severity of the couple, he accurately details the relative luxury of the Ellsworth's interior
furnishings. The view through the window behind them shows sun lit fields, well-kept fences, and a bend of the
Connecticut River. One of Earl's paintings is something of anomaly. Reclining Hunter, which many years was
attributed to Thomas Gainsborough, shows a well-dressed gentleman resting beneath a tree. In the foreground, he
displays a pile of birds, the results of a day's hunt. The viewer can also see a farmer's donkey lying in the ground,
another of the hunter's victims. This outrageously funny portrait couldn't have been commissioned - no one would
have wanted to be portrayed in such an absurd way. However, this painting uncharacteristically shows Earl's wit as
well as his uncommon technical skills.
