Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each of the following
questions
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.
27.8.4.36: The word “they” refer to______.
A. numbers B. animals C. achievements D. genes
27.8.4.37: 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
27.8.4.38: The word “accounts” is closest in meaning to ______.
A. reasons B. deceptions C. invoices D. reports
27.8.4.39: According to information in the passage, which of the following is LEAST likely
to occur as a result of animals’ intuitive awareness of quantities?
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.
27.8.4.40 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.
D. Animals cannot “count” more than one kind of object.
