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 
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. 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.
Question 36 : 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.

A. Communicating emotions	B. Remembering past experiences
C. Selecting among choices	D. Anticipating events to come

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

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 55 to 64 
Fifty-five delegates representing all thirteen states except Rhode Island attended the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia from May to September 1787. The delegates had been instructed by the Continental Congress to revise the old Articles of Confederation, but most believed that a stronger central government was needed. There were differences, however, about what structure the government should take and how much influence large states should have. 
Virginia was by far the most populous state, with twice as many as people as New York, four times as many as New Jersey, and ten times as many as Delaware. The leader of the Virginia delegation, James Madison, had already drawn up a plan for government, which became known as the Large State Plan. Its essence was that congressional representation would be based on population. It provided for two or more national executives. The smaller states feared that under this plan, a few large states would lord over the rest. New Jersey countered with the Small State Plan. It provided for equal representation for all states in a national legislature and for a single national executive. Angry debate, heightened by a stifling heat wave, led to deadlock.
A cooling of tempers seemed to come with lower temperatures. The delegates hammered out an agreement known as the Great Compromise – actually a bundle of shrewd compromises. They decided that Congress would consist of two houses. The larger states were granted representation based on population in the lower house, the House of Representatives. The smaller states were given equal representation in the upper house, the Senate, in which each state would have two senators regardless of population. It was also agreed that there would be a single executive, the president. This critical compromise broke the logjam, and from then on, success seemed within reach.
Question 44: What is the main topic of this passage?
A. James Madison’s plan to create a stable structure for the government of the United States
B. The differences in population and relative power between the original states
C. A disagreement at the Constitutional Convention and a subsequent compromise
D. The most important points of the Small State Plan
Question 45: It can be inferred from the passage that ___________ .
A. Every state in the country is larger than Delaware
B. Delaware has no right at the Constitutional Convention
C. Virginia is ten times larger than Delaware
D. Delaware has a small population compared to other states
Question 46: According to the passage, in 1787 which of the following states had the FEWEST people?
A. New York	B. Delaware	C. New Jersey	D. Virginia
Question 47: The phrase this plan (paragraph 2) refers to ___________.
A. a plan suggested by the national legislature	B. the Small State Plan
C. a compromise plan	D. the Large State Plan
Question 48: According to the passage, the weather had what effect on the Constitutional Convention?
A. Cold temperatures made Independence Hall an uncomfortable place to work
B. Hot weather intensified the debate while cooler weather brought compromise
C. Bad weather prevented some of the delegates from reaching Philadelphia
D. Delegates hurried to achieve an agreement before winter arrived
Question 49: The word shrewd (paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to ___________.
A. clever	B. unfair	C. important	D. practical
Question 50: The author uses the phrase broke the logjam (paragraph 3) to indicate that ______.
