The first birds appeared during late Jurassic times. These birds are known from four very good skeletons, two incomplete skeletons, and an isolated feather, all from the Solnhofen limestone of Bavaria, Germany. This fine-grained rock, which is extensively quarried for lithographic stone, was evidently deposited in a shallow coral lagoon of a tropical sea, and flying vertebrates occasionally fell into the water and were buried by the fine limy mud, to be preserved with remarkable detail in this way, the late Jurassic bird skeletons, which have been named Archaeopteryx, were fossilized. And not only were the bones preserved in these skeletons, but so also were imprints of the feathers. If the indications of feathers had not been preserved in association with Archaeopteryx, it is likely that these fossils would have been classified among the dinosaurs, for they show numerous theropod characteristics.
Archaeopteryx were animals about the size of a crow, with an archeosaurian type of skull, a long neck, a compact body balanced on a pair of strong hind limbs, and a long tail. The forelimbs were enlarged and obviously functioned as wings. Modern birds, who are the descendants of these early birds, are highly organized animals, with a constant body temperature and a very high rate of metabolism. In addition, they are remarkable for having evolved extraordinarily complex behavior patterns such as those of nesting and song, and the habit among many species of making long migrations from one continent to another and back each year.
Most birds also have very strong legs, which allows them to run or walk on the ground as well as to fly in the air. Indeed, some of the waterbirds, such as ducks and geese, have the distinction of being able to move around proficiently in the water, on land, and in the air, a range in natural locomotor ability that has never been attained by any other vertebrate.
Question 36:	According to the author, all of-the following evidence relating to the first birds was found EXCEPT
(A) nesting materials	(B) four skeletons in good condition
(C) two fragmented skeletons	(D) a single feather.
Question 37: The word "preserved" in line 8 is closest in meaning to
(A) confused with others	(B) gradually weakened
(C) protected from destruction	(D) lost permanently
Question 38: It can be inferred from the passage that the Archaeopteryx were classified as birds on the basis of
(A) imprints of bones	(B) imprints of feathers
(C) the neck structure	(D) skeletons
Question 39: The word "they" in line 10 refers to
(A) indications	(B) fossils	(C) dinosaurs	(D) characteristics
Question 40: It can be inferred from the passage that theropods were
(A) dinosaurs	(B) birds	(C) Archaeopteryx (D) crows
Question 41: The word "constant" in line 15 is closest in meaning to
(A) comfortable (B) combined	(C) consistent	(D) complementary
Question 42: The word "attained" in line 23 is closest in meaning to
(A) required	(B) achieved	(C) observed	(D) merited
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 43 to 50.
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 our 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 43: What does the passage mainly discuss?
The role of Instinct in animal behavior
Observations that suggest consciousness in animal behavior
The use of food in studies of animal behavior
Differences between the behavior of animals in their natural environments and in laboratory experiments.
Question 44: Which of the following is NOT discussed as an ability animals are thought to have?
(A) Selecting among choices	(B) Anticipating events to come
(C) Remembering past experiences	(D) Communicating emotions
Question 45: What is the purpose of the honeybee dance?
(A) To determine the quantity of food at a site	(B) To communicate the location of food
(C) To increase the speed of travel to food sources (D) T identify the type of nectar that is available
Question 46: The word "yet" in line 15 is closest in meaning to
(A) however	(B) since	(C) generally	(D) so far
Question 47: What did researchers discover in the study of honeybees discussed in paragraph 2?
Bees are able to travel at greater speeds than scientists thought.
The bees could travel 25% farther than scientists expected.
The bees were able to determine in advance where scientists would place their food.
Changing the location of food caused bees to decrease their dance activity.
Question 48: It can be inferred from the passage that brain size is assumed to
(A) beanindicatorofcognitiveability	(B) vary among individuals within a species
(C) be related to food consumption	(D) correspond to levels of activity
Question 49: The word "rudimentary" in line 20 is closest in meaning to
(A) superior	(B) original	(C) basic	(D) technical
Question 50: The phrase "the one" in line 24 refers to the
(A) study	(B) pair	(C) chimpanzee	(D) ability
THE END.
