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 questions from 35 to 42.
Clothing is a distinctly human artifact. Even more than the use of tools, it distinguishes humans
from the other creatures on this planet. While there are other creatures which use implements to a
greater or lesser degree, clothing is unique to humanity. Clothing is also uniquely human, in that it
serves more than one function.
The basic purpose of clothing was utilitarian. By putting on an artificial skin, humans were able to
move into regions for which they would otherwise have been unsuited. An extreme example of this
use of clothing can be seen among the Eskimos, and other people who live in extreme climates.
However, clothing was not only used for protection from the elements, but has also been a means of
displaying one's status and sense of style for as long as humans have had civilization. Thus clothing
also developed in countries where there is no real practical need for it, apart from the other, very
human function of preserving the modesty of the wearer.
Clothing tells us many things about the wearer. It can be used to indicate whether she is a member
of a particular group or organization, the most extreme example of this type of clothing being a
uniform. It tells us a lot about the importance of clothing that the clothes a person was wearing have
been, literally, the difference between life and death. In war, soldiers recognize friends and enemies
by their uniforms. Spies may be shot if captured, but if they go about their business in the uniform of
their country, they are regarded as legitimate members of that country's armed forces.
Uniforms can also be less formal. Anyone who has seen a group of teenagers walking together will
have noticed that their clothing conforms to the standard set by their particular group. Nor are teens
the only ones who are subject to such pressures. It is a rare businessman who does not feel the need to
wear a suit and tie. Most politicians also try to be neat and well-dressed. People who wish to impress
others often do so by the selection of their clothes-sometimes by choosing more expensive versions.
This can be seen particularly in the fashion industry, where clothing by a particular designer fetches
prices which are out of all proportion to the actual utilitarian value of the material.
Therefore, even though we are steadily managing to adjust our micro-environments to

temperatures which are as close to ideal as the human body wants, and even though sexual taboos of
undress are being steadily eroded, it is highly unlikely that there will be no use for clothing in our
future, unless humanity evolves into a completely new species.
