Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer for each of the questions from 36 -42.
Crows are probably the most frequently met and easily identifiable members of the native fauna
of the United States. The great number of tales, legends, and myths about these birds indicates that
people have been exceptionally interested in them for a long time. On the other hand, when it comes to
substantive -particularly behavioral - information, crows are less well known than many comparably
common species and, for that matter, not a few quite uncommon ones: the endangered California

condor, to cite one obvious example. There are practical reasons for this.
Crows are notoriously poor and aggravating subjects for field research. Keen observers and quick
learners, they are astute about the intentions of other creatures, including researchers, and adept at

avoiding them. Because they are so numerous, active, and monochromatic, it is difficult to distinguish
one crow from another. Bands, radio transmitters, or other identifying devices can be attached to them,
but this of course requires catching live crows, who are among the wariest and most untrappable of
birds.
Technical difficulties aside, crow research is daunting because the ways of these birds are so
complex and various. As preeminent is generalists, members of this species ingeniously exploit a great
range of habitats and resources, and they can quickly adjust to changes in their circumstances. Being so
educable, individual birds have markedly different interests and inclinations, strategies and scams. For
example, one pet crow learned how to let a dog out of its kennel by pulling the pin on the door. When
the dog escaped, the bird went into the kennel and ate its food.
Question 36: What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The ways in which crows differ from other common birds
B. The myths and legends about crows
C. The characteristics that make crows difficult to study
D. The existing methods for investigating crow behavior
Question 37: The word 'comparable' in line 5 is closest in meaning to

Question 38: In line 6, the author mention the endangered California condor as an example of a species
that is .......................................
A. smaller than the crow B. easily identifiable

Question 39: According to the second paragraph, crows are poor subjects for field research for all of the
following reasons EXCEPT
A. They can successfully avoid observers.
B. They are hard to distinguish from one another
C. They can be quite aggressive.

D. They are difficult to catch.
Question 40: According to the third paragraph, which of the following is true about crows?
A. They seldom live in any one place for very long.
B. They thrive in a wide variety of environments.
C. They have marked preferences for certain kinds of foods.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer for each of the questions from 43 – 50.
Botany, the study of plants, occupies a peculiar position in the history of human knowledge. For
many thousands of years it was the one field of awareness about which humans had anything more than
the vaguest of insights. It is impossible to know today just what our Stone Age ancestors knew about
plants, but from what we can observe of pre-industrial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of
plants and their properties must be extremely ancient. This is logical. Plants are the basis of the food
pyramid for all living things, even for other plants. They have always been enormously important to the
welfare of peoples , not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, and tools: medicines; shelter, and
a great many other purposes. Tribes living today in the jungles of the Amazon recognized literally
hundreds of plants and know many properties of each. To them botany, as such, has no name and is
probably not even recognized as a special branch of “Knowledge” at all.
Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become the farther away we move from direct contact
with plants, and the less distinct our knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone comes unconsciously on

an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose, an apple, or an
orchid. When our Neolithic ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10,000 years discovered that
certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer yields the next season, the first great
step in a new association of plants and humans was taken. Grains were discovered and from them

flowed the marvel of agriculture: cultivated crops. From them on, humans would increasingly take their
living from the controlled production of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there
from many varieties that grew wild – and the accumulated knowledge of tens of thousands of years of
experience and intimacy with plants in the wild would begin to fade away.
Question 43: How is the term “botany” is explained in the passage?
A. It is a study of leaves
B. It is a science of nature
C. It is the study of plants
D. It is research on various types of trees
Question 44: The word “properties” in paragraph 1 means ………………………..?
A. lands
B. knowledge
C. possessions
D. Characteristics
Question 45: What does the comment “This is logical” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. There is no clear way to determine the extent of our ancestor’s knowledge of plants
B. It is not surprising that early humans had a detailed knowledge of plants
C. It is reasonable to assume that our ancestors behaved very much like people in pre- industrial
societies
D. Human knowledge of plants is well organized and very detail
Question 46: Why does the author mention “a rose, an apple, or an orchid”?
A. to make the passage more poetic
B. to cite examples of plants that are attractive
C. to give botanical examples that all readers will recognize

D. to illustrate the diversity of botanical life
Question 47: According to the passage, what was the first great step toward the practice of agriculture?
A. The invention of agricultural implements and machinery
B. The development of a system of names for plants
C. The discovery of grasses that could be harvested and replanted
D. The changing diets of early humans
Question 48: What is the relationship between botany and agriculture similar to?
A. the relationship between zoology and deer hunting
B. The relationship between zoology and bird watching
C. The relationship between zoology and sheep raising
D. The relationship between zoology and horseback riding
Question 49: In which lines in the passage does the author describe the beneficial properties that plants
have for humans?
A. Lines 1-2
B. Lines 6- 9
C. Lines 11-12
D. Lines 14-16
Question 50: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as use of plants?
A. for food
