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 28 to 34.
Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember past 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
farther 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. 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.

to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.
The Native American peoples of the north Pacific Coast created a highly
complex maritime culture as they invented modes of production unique to their special
environment. In addition to their sophisticated technical culture, they also attained one
of the most complex social organizations of any nonagricultural people in the world.
In a division of labor similar to that of the hunting peoples in the interior and
among foraging peoples throughout the world, the men did most of the fishing, and the
women processed the catch. Women also specialized in the gathering of the abundant
shellfish that lived closer to shore. They collected oysters, crabs, sea urchins, abalone,
and clams, which they could gather while remaining close to their children. The
maritime life harvested by the women not only provided food, but also supplied more
of the raw materials for making tools than did fish gathered by the men. Of
particular importance for the native tool than did the fish gathered by the men. Of
particular made from the larger mussel shells, and a variety of cutting edges that could
be made from other marine shells.
The women used their tools to process all of the fish and marine mammals
brought in by the men. They cleaned the fish, and dried vast quantities of them for the
winter. They sun - dried fish when practical, but in the rainy climate of the coastal area
they also used smokehouses to preserve tons of fish and other seafood annually. Each
product had its own peculiar characteristics that demanded a particular way of cutting
or drying the meat, and each task required its own cutting blades and other utensils.
 After drying the fish, the women pounded some of them into fish meal, which
was an easily transported food used in soups, stews, or other dishes to provide protein
and thickening in the absence of fresh fish or while on long trips. The women also
made a cheese-like substance from a mixture of fish and roe by aging it in storehouses
or by burying it in wooden boxes or pits lined with rocks and tree leaves.
Question 35: Which aspect of the lives of the Native Americans of the north Pacific
Coast does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Methods of food preservation
B. How diet was restricted by the environment
C. The contributions of women to the food supply
D. Difficulties in establishing successful farms
