Many of the most flexible examples of tool use in animals come from primates (the group that includes humans, apes, and monkeys). For example, many wild primates use objects to threaten outsiders. But there are many examples of tool use by mammals, as well as by birds and other types of animals. Tools are used by many species in the capture or preparation of food. Chimpanzees use sticks and poles to bring out ants and termites from their hiding places. Among the most complex tool use observed in the wild is the use of stones by Ivory Coast chimpanzees to crack nuts open. They select a large flat stone as an anvil (a heavy block on which to place the nuts) and a smaller stone as a hammer. Stones suitable for use as anvils are not easy to find, and often a chimpanzee may carry a haul of nuts more than 40 meters to find a suitable anvil. The use of tools in chimpanzees is especially interesting because these animals sometimes modify tools to make them better suited for their intended purpose. To make a twig more effective for digging out termites, for example, a chimp may first strip it of its leaves. Surprisingly, there is also a species of bird that uses sticks to probe holes in the search for insects. One of the species of Galapagos finch, the woodpecker finch, picks up or breaks off a twig, cactus spine, or leaf stem. This primitive tool is then held in the beak and used to probe for insects in holes in trees that the bird cannot probe directly with its beak. Birds have been seen to carry twigs from the tree to tree searching for prey. Tools may also be used for defense. Hermits crabs grab sea anemones with their claws and use them as weapons to repel their enemies. Studies have demonstrated that these crabs significantly improve their chances against predators such as octopus by means of this tactic. Also, many species of forest-dwelling primates defend themselves by throwing objects, including stones, at intruders. Question 61: What does the passage mainly discuss? Primates are superior to other animals in using tools. The use of stones as tools is similar across different animal species. Birds and primates use tools that are different from those of sea animals. Many animals have developed effective ways of using tools. Question 62: Why does the author mention ants and termites in the second paragraph? A. To give an example of food that chimpanzees collect by using tools. B. To emphasize that ants and termites often hide together in the same place C. To identify an important part of the chimpanzee diet. D. To point out a difference between two closely related species. Question 63: According to the passage, Ivory Coast chimpanzees are among the most remarkable of animal tool users because they............................... Use tools to gather food B. use more than one tool to accomplish a task C. transport tools from one place to another D. hide their tools from other animals Question 64: The word “haul” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to.......... diet B. type C. load D. branch Question 65: The word “strip” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to.......... search B. eat C. carry D. remove Question 66: The word “probe” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to.......... change B. watch C. explore D. create Question 67: According to the passage, what is characteristic of the way in which woodpecker finches hunt insects? The finches use different plant parts as tools to capture insects. The finches make narrow holes in trees to trap insects. The finches pick up insects that they find on leaves. The finches catch insects in the air as they fly from tree to tree. Question 68: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage about the behavior of the woodpecker finch? It uses its beak as a weapon against its enemies. It uses the same twig to look for food in different trees. It uses twigs and leaves to build its nest. It avoids areas where cactus grows. Question 69: According to the passage, studies have shown that hermit crabs manage to turn octopus away by.......................... attacking the octopus with their claws B. using stones as weapons C. defending themselves with sea anemones D. hiding under sea plants. Question 70: Forest primates and certain sea animals are mentioned in the passage as examples of animals that use tools for............................. self-protection B. food preparation C. hunting prey D. building nests or home plants grow. Mark the letter A,B,C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that is closest in meaning to the sentence given in each of the following questions. Question 71: Apparently, Tom and Larry can’t stand an afternoon together without fighting. A fight seems inevitable when Tom and Larry are together even if only for an afternoon. Tom and Larry must have got together in the afternoon to have a fight. Presumably, on the afternoon of the fight, Tom and Larry were together. Unfortunately, Tom and Larry spent the whole afternoon fighting each other. Question 72: Although they taste nearly the same, both Sprite and Mountain Dew are two separate citrus-flavored soft drinks made by different companies. Although Sprite has a stronger citrus taste than Mountain Dew, basically they are the same soft drink, though made by different companies. Sprite and Mountain Dew are both manufactured by the same company, though they are similarly tasting citrus-flavored soft drinks. Produced by two different companies, Sprite and Mountain Dew, which are both citrus-flavored soft drinks, taste practically no different. Not made by the same company, Sprite and Mountain Dew are different from one another in the amount of their citrus flavoring. Question 73: If the others had taken sensible precautions like we did, this tragedy need never have happened. If they had not behaved so foolishly, they would not have involved us, either, in this tragedy. The tragedy is that this could have been avoided if only they had all controlled their emotions. If only they would follow our example and behave in a reasonable manner, all this suffering could be avoided. This tragic outcome could have been avoided, but, unlike us, the rest of them behaved rashly. Question 74: Owing to the poor visibility it took us ten hours, instead of the usual eight, to get to London. The lights of London were visible for two hours before we reached the city. Even though we ran into a lot of fog on the way to London the journey didn’t take much longer than usual. It takes between eight and ten hours to drive to London, depending on visibility. The fog meant that we reached London two hours later than would be normal. Question 75: People who are unhappy sometimes try to compensate by eating too much. Unhappy people are usually overweight because they tend to eat too much. Eating too much occasionally makes people unhappy and depressed. For some people, eating too much is a reason to be miserable.
