I/ READ THE PASSAGE AND CHOOSE YOUR BEST ANSWER: (2 marks)

Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember part events, anticipate future ones, make plans and
choices, and coordinate activities within a group. These scientists, however, are cautious about the extent to which animals can
be credited with conscious processing.
Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions entirely to instinct
leave many questions unanswered. One example of such unexplained behavior: Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar
to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern. The orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative
to the sun’s position in the sky, and the speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive. Most researchers
assume that the ability to perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence. But in one study, when
experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent father from the previous site,
foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next. When the researchers arrived at the new
location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their food. No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains
weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could have inferred the location of the new site.
Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use. Many animals, like the otter who uses a stone to crack
mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment as rudimentary tools. One researcher has found that
mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young how to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees compared
two pairs of food wells containing chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other four chips
and three chips. Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher total,

showing some sort of summing ability. Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label quantities of items and do
simple sums.
1. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Observations that suggest consciousness in animal behavior.
B. The use of food in studies of animal behavior. C. The role of instinct in animal behavior.
D. Differences between the behavior of animals in their natural environments and in laboratory experiments.
2. Which of the following is NOT discussed as an ability animals are thought to have?
A. Communicating emotions
B. Remembering past experiences
C. Selecting among choices
D. Anticipating events to come
3. What is the purpose of the honeybee at a site?
A. To determine the quality of food at a site.
B. To increase the speed of travel to food sources.
C. To identify the type of nectar that is available.
D. To communicate the location of food.
4. Why are otters and mussel shells included in the discussion in paragraph 3?
A. To provide that certain species demonstrate greater ability in tool use than other species.
B. To provide an example of tool use among animals.
C. To provide an example of the use of weapons among animals.
D. To show that animals are very good at using objects in their habitat.

I/ READ THE PASSAGE AND CHOOSE YOUR BEST ANSWER: (2 marks)

Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember part events, anticipate future ones, make plans and
choices, and coordinate activities within a group. These scientists, however, are cautious about the extent to which animals can
be credited with conscious processing.
Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions entirely to instinct
leave many questions unanswered. One example of such unexplained behavior: Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar
to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern. The orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative
to the sun’s position in the sky, and the speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive. Most researchers
assume that the ability to perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence. But in one study, when
experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent father from the previous site,
foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next. When the researchers arrived at the new
location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their food. No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains
weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could have inferred the location of the new site.
Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use. Many animals, like the otter who uses a stone to crack
mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment as rudimentary tools. One researcher has found that
mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young how to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees compared
two pairs of food wells containing chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other four chips
and three chips. Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher total,
showing some sort of summing ability. Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label quantities of items and do
simple sums.
1. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Observations that suggest consciousness in animal behavior.
B. The use of food in studies of animal behavior. C. The role of instinct in animal behavior.
D. Differences between the behavior of animals in their natural environments and in laboratory experiments.
2. Which of the following is NOT discussed as an ability animals are thought to have?
A. Communicating emotions
B. Remembering past experiences
C. Selecting among choices
D. Anticipating events to come
3. What is the purpose of the honeybee at a site?

A. To determine the quality of food at a site. B. To increase the speed of travel to food sources.
C. To identify the type of nectar that is available. D. To communicate the location of food.
