VI. ( ID: 88908 ) Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct 
answer to each of the following questions from (46)to (55) 
Animals have an intuitive awareness of quantities. They know without analysis the difference 
between a number of objects and a smaller number. In his book " The natural History of Selboure " (1786 
) , the naturalist Gilbert White tells how he surreptitiously removed one egg a day from a plover's nest , 
and how the mother laid another egg each day to make up for the missing one . He noted that other 
species of birds ignore the absence of a single egg but abandon their nests if more than one egg has been 
removed. It has also been noted by naturalists that a certain type of wasp always provides five - never 
four, never six - caterpillars for each of their eggs so that their young have something to eat when the 
eggs hatch . Research has also shown that both mice and pigeons can be taught to distinguish between 
odd and even numbers of food pieces. 
These and similar accounts have led some people to infer that creatures other than humans can 
actually count. They also point to dogs that have been taught to respond to numerical questions with the 
correct number of barks, or to horses that seem to solve arithmetic problems by stomping their hooves the 
proper number of times. 
Animals respond to quantities only when they are connected to survival as a species - as in the case 
of the eggs - or survival as individuals - as in the case of food. There is no transfer to other situations or 
from concrete reality to the abstract notion of numbers. Animals can "count" only when the objects are 
present and only when the numbers involved are small - not more than seven or eight. In lab experiments, 
animals trained to "count" one kind of object were unable to count any other type. The objects, not the 
numbers, are what interest them. Animals’ admittedly remarkable achievements simply do not amount to 
evidence of counting, nor do they reveal more than innate instincts, refined by the genes of successive 
generations, or the results of clever, careful conditioning by trainers. 
46. Why does the author refer to Gilbert White's book in line 2? 
A. To indicate that more research is needed in this field. 
B. To contradict the idea that animals can count. 
C. To show how attitudes have changed since1786. 
D. To provide evidence that some birds are aware of quantities. 
47. The word "surreptitiously" is closest in meaning to  
A. occasionally B. stubbornly C. secretly D. quickly 
48. According to information in the passage, which of the following is LEAST likely to occur as a result 
of animals' intuitive awareness of quantities?

of the following questions from (71) to (80) 
The Moon has been worshipped by primitive peoples and has inspired humans to create 
everything from lunar calendars to love sonnets, but what do we really know about it? The most accepted 
theory about the origin of the Moon is that it was formed of the debris from a massive collision with the 
young Earth about 4.6 billion years ago. A huge body, perhaps the size of Mars, struck the Earth, 
throwing out an immense amount of debris that coalesced and cooled in orbit around the Earth. 
The development of Earth is inextricably linked to the moon; the Moon's gravitational influence 
upon the Earth is the primary cause of ocean tides. In fact, the Moon has more than twice the effect upon 
the tides than does the Sun. The Moon makes one rotation and completes a revolution around the Earth 
every 27 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes. This synchronous rotation is caused by an uneven distribution of 
mass in the Moon (essentially, it is heavier on one side than the other) and has allowed the Earth's gravity to 
keep one side of the Moon permanently facing Earth. It is an average distance from Earth of 384,403 km.

The Moon has no atmosphere; without an atmosphere, the Moon has nothing to protect it from 
meteorite impacts, and thus the surface of the Moon is covered with impact craters, both large and small. 
The Moon also has no active tectonic or volcanic activity, so the erosive effects of atmospheric 
weathering, tectonic shifts, and volcanic upheavals that tend to erase and reform the Earth's surface 
features are not at work on the Moon. In fact, even tiny surface features such as the footprint left by an 
astronaut in the lunar soil are likely to last for millions of years, unless obliterated by a chance meteorite 
strike. The surface gravity of the Moon is about one-sixth that of the Earth's. Therefore, a man weighing 82 
kilograms on Earth would only weigh 14 kilograms on the Moon. 
The geographical features of the Earth most like that of the Moon are, in fact, places such as the 
Hawaiian volcanic craters and the huge meteor crater in Arizona. The climate of the Moon is very unlike 
either Hawaii or Arizona, however; in fact the temperature on the Moon ranges between 123 degrees C. to -
233 degrees C. 
71. The word "massive" is closest in meaning to 
A. unavoidable B. impressive C. huge D. dense

A. satellites B. rubbish C. moons D. earth 
73. What is the passage primarily about? 
A. what we know about the Moon and its differences to Earth 
B. the origin of the Moon 
C. the Moon's effect upon the Earth 
D. a comparison of the Moon and the Earth 
74. Why does the author mention "impact craters"? 
A. to show the result of the Moon not having an atmosphere 
B. to show the result of the Moon not having active tectonic or volcanic activity 
C. to explain the corrosive effects of atmospheric weathering 
D. to explain why the Moon has no plant life because of meteorites 
75. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? 
A. if the Moon had no gravitational influence, the Earth would not have tides 
B. people living in Hawaii and Arizona would feel at home on the Moon 
C. Mars could have been formed in a similar way to the Moon 
D. the Moon is not able to support human life 
76. All of the following are true about the Moon EXCEPT 
A. it has a wide range of temperatures 
B. it is heavier on one side than the other 
C. it is unable to protect itself from meteorite attacks

A. protected by a dense atmosphere B. the primary cause of Earth's ocean tides 
C. older than the Earth D. composed of a few active volcanoes
