Read the passage and choose one the best answer (A, B, C, or D) to each of
the questions. Then mark your choice on the answer sheet.
Memory is a vital characteristic of the human species. Organisms evolve to
adapt to their environments in many diferent ways. There are, however, two broad
classes of adaptation. The first of these involves preprogramming the organism to
cope with its environment so that it is born with all the necessary instincts and
equipment to operate efficiently and efectively with virtually no learning. This is
clearly a very successful means of adaptation and has enabled an enormous range of
organisms, from plants, bacteria, and insects to (simple) vertebrates, to continue to
flourish for millions of years. Such organisms have their mode of adaptation “wired in”
and, such, have minimal need for learning or memory.

The school involves the production of an organism which is adaptable. Here,
there is much less preprogramming, and the organism is left to modify its behavior in
response to its environment. This allows for considerably greater complexity and
variability of behavior. It also demands a larger brain and is heavily dependent on the
capacity to learn and remember. The human race is the obvious example of this from
of evolution – our ability to learn and remember has allow us to develop tools and
language, technologies which in turn vastly increased our ability to store and
communicate yet more information through writing, and subsequently films, videos,
and computers, all of which can be regarded as an extension of the memory.
However, without the individual’s memory, the vast storage of information in the
libraries all over the world would be incomprehensible. Accordingly, the ability to learn
and remember, allowing as it does for the development of language, is perhaps out
most crucial characteristic.
Question 76: The author mentions all of the following in connection with the first class
of adaptation EXCEPT
A. Ability to deal with the environment.
B. State of being programmed in advance.
C. Process of being wired into equipment.
D. Possession of the requisite instincts.
Question 77: According to the passage, many organisms have existed for millions of
years because they
A. have inbuilt resources.
B. continually adapt to the environment.
C. have no memory.
D. are unable to learn.
Question 78: According to the passage, the organism of the second class
A. changes the behavior constantly.
B. relies upon its memory.
C. modifies the environment.
D. learns very quickly.

Question 79: The author suggests that a human being’s memory is
A. partly responsible for the growth of the language.
B. a tool used for understanding.
C. supported by technological advances.
D. dependent upon the storage of writing.
Question 80: It can be inferred from the passage that man’s most important
characteristic is
A. the ability to speak.
B. the capacity to remember.
C. the skill of storing information.


D. an aptitude for writing.
