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.

( 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

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 ____.

Sample 1 : A cool teacher
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

( ID: 98049 ) 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
A considerable body of research has demonstrated a correlation between birth order and aspects such
as temperament and behavior, and some psychologists believe that birth order significantly affects the
development of personality. Psychologist Alfred Adler was a pioneer in the study of the relationship
between birth order and personality. A key point in his research and in the hypothesis that he developed
based on it was that it was not the actual numerical birth position that affected personality; instead, it was
the similar responses in large numbers of families to children in specific birth order positions that had an
effect. For example, first-borns, who have their parents to themselves initially and do not have to deal with
siblings in the first part of their lives, tend to have their first socialization experiences with adults and
therefore tend to find the process of peer socialization more difficult. In contrast, later-born children have to
deal with siblings from the first moment of their lives and therefore tend to have stronger socialization skills.
Numerous studies since Adler’s have been conducted on the effect of birth order and personality. These
studies have tended to classify birth order types into four different categories: first-born, second-born and/or
middle, last, and only child.
Studies have consistently shown that first-born children tend to exhibit similar, positive and negative
personality traits. First-borns have consistently been linked with academic achievement in various studies;
in one study, the number of National Merit scholarship winners who are first-borns was found to be equal to

the number of second-and third-borns combined. First-borns have been found to be more responsible and
assertive than those born in other birth-order positions and tend to rise to positions of leadership more often
than others; more first-borns have served in the U.S. Congress and as U.S. presidents than have those
born in other birth-order positions. However, studies have shown that first-borns tend to be more subject to
stress and were considered problem children more often than later-borns.
Second-born and/or middle children demonstrate markedly different tendencies from first-borns. They
tend to feel inferior to the older child or children because it is difficult for them to comprehend that their
lower level of achievement is a function of age rather than ability, and they often try to succeed in areas
other than those in which their older sibling or siblings excel. They tend to be more trusting, accepting, and
focused on others than the more self-centered first-borns, and they tend to have a comparatively higher

level of success in team sports than do first-borns or only children, who more often excel in individual
sports.
The last-born child is the one who tends to be the eternal baby of the family and thus often exhibits a
strong sense of security. Last-borns collectively achieve the highest degree of social success and
demonstrate the highest levels of self-esteem of all the birth-order positions. They often exhibit less
competitiveness than older brothers and sisters and are more likely to take part in less competitive group
games or in social organizations such as sororities and fraternities.
Only children tend to exhibit some of the main characteristics of first-borns and some of the
characteristics of last-borns. Only children tend to exhibit the strong sense of security and self-esteem
exhibited by last-borns while, like first-borns, they are more achievement oriented and more likely than
middle-or last-borns to achieve academic success. However, only children tend to have the most problems
establishing close relationships and exhibit a lower need for affiliation than other children.

( ID: 98081 ) 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
In science, a theory is a reasonable explanation of observed events that are related. A theory often
involves an imaginary model that helps scientists picture the way an observed event could be produced. A
good example of this is found in the kinetic molecular theory, in which gases are pictured as being made
up of many small particles that are in constant motion.
A useful theory, in addition to explaining past observation, helps to predict events that have not as

yet been observed. After a theory has been publicized, scientists design experiments to test the theory. If
observations confirm the scientists' predictions, the theory is supported. If observations do not confirm the
predictions, the scientists must search further. There may be a fault in the experiment, or the theory may
have to be revised or rejected.
Science involves imagination and creative thinking as well as collecting information and
performing experiments. Facts by themselves are not science. As the mathematician Jules Henri Poincare
said: "Science is built with facts just as a house is built with bricks, but a collection of facts cannot be called
science any more than a pile of bricks can be called a house."
Most scientists start an investigation by finding out what other scientists have learned about a
particular problem. After known facts have been gathered, the scientist comes to the part of the
investigation that requires considerable imagination. Possible solutions to the problem are formulated.
These possible solutions are called hypotheses. In a way, any hypothesis is a leap into the unknown. It
extends the scientist's thinking beyond the known facts. The scientist plans experiments, performs
calculations, and makes observations to test hypotheses. For without hypotheses, further investigation
lacks purpose and direction. When hypotheses are confirmed, they are incorporated into theories.

Question 36: Which of the following is the main subject of the passage?
A. The importance of models in scientific theories.
B. The sorts of facts that scientists find most interesting.
C. The ways that scientists perform different types of experiments.
D. The place of theory and hypothesis in scientific investigation.

D. an imaginary model
Question 39: According to the second paragraph, a useful theory is one that helps scientists to_______.
A. observe events
B. publicize new findings
C. make predictions
D. find errors in past experiments
Question 40: The word "supported" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to________.
A. upheld
B. finished
C. adjusted
D. investigated
Question 41: “Bricks” are mentioned in paragraph 3 to indicate how________.
A. science is more than a collection of facts
B. scientific experiments have led to improved technology
C. mathematicians approach science
D. building a house is like performing experiments

A. formulate possible solutions to a problem
C. close an investigation

B. evaluate previous work on a problem
D. gather known facts

A. require effort to formulate
C. go beyond available facts

B. can lead to dangerous results
