Information
Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.
 

An upsurge of new research suggests that animals have a much higher level of brainpower than previously thought. If
animals do have intelligence, how do scientists measure it? Before defining animals' intelligence, scientists defined what
not intelligence is. Instinct is not intelligence. It is a skill programmed into an animal's brain by its genetic heritage. Rote
conditioning is also not intelligence. Tricks can be learned by repetition, but no real thinking is involved. Cuing, in which
animals learn to do or not to do certain things by following outside signals, does not demonstrate intelligence. Scientists
believe that insight, the ability to use tools, and communication using human language are all effective measures of the
mental ability of animals. (Paragraph 1)
 When judging animal intelligence, scientists look for insight, which they define as a flash of sudden understanding. When
a young gorilla could not reach fruit from a tree, she noticed crates scattered about the lawn near the tree. She piled the
crates into a pyramid, then climbed on them to reach her reward. The gorilla's insight allowed her to solve a new problem
without trial and error. (Paragraph 2)

 
The ability to use tools is also an important sign of intelligence. Crows use sticks to pry peanuts out of cracks. The crow
exhibits intelligence by showing it has learned what a stick can do. Likewise, otters use rocks to crack open crab shells in
order to get at the meat. In a series of complex moves, chimpanzees have been known to use sticks and stalks in order to
get at a favorite snack—termites. To make and use a termite tool, a chimp first selects just the right stalk or twig. He trims
and shapes the stick, then finds the entrance to a termite mound. While inserting the stick carefully into the entrance, the
chimpanzee turns it skillfully to fit the inner tunnels. The chimp attracts the insects by shaking the twig. Then it pulls the
tool out without scraping off any termites. Finally, he uses his lips to skim the termites into his mouth. (Paragraph 3)

 
Many animals have learned to communicate using human language. Some primates have learned hundreds of words in
sign language. One chimp can recognize and correctly use more than 250 abstract symbols on a keyboard. These symbols
represent human words. An amazing parrot can distinguish five objects of two different types. He can understand the
difference between the number, color, and kind of object. The ability to classify is a basic thinking skill. He seems to use
language to express his needs and emotions. When ill and taken to the animal hospital for his first overnight stay, this
parrot turned to go. "Come here!" he cried to a scientist who works with him. "I love you. I'm sorry. Wanna go back?"
(Paragraph 4)

 
The research on animal intelligence raises important questions. If animals are smarter than once thought, would that
change the way humans interact with them? Would humans stop hunting them for sport or survival? Would animals still
be used for food, clothing, or medical experimentation? Finding the answer to these tough questions makes a difficult
puzzle even for a large-brained, problem-solving species like our own. (Paragraph 5)

Information
Read the comprehension and answer the questions that follow:
There are two theories that have often been used to explain ancient and modern tragedy. Neither quite explains the
complexity of the tragic process or the tragic hero, but each explains important elements of tragedy, and, because their
conclusions are contradictory, they represent extreme views.

and of the limitation of human effort. But this theory of tragedy is an oversimplification, primarily because it confuses the
tragic condition with the tragic process: the theory does not acknowledge that fate, in a tragedy, normally becomes
external to the hero only after the tragic process has as a heroism that creates the splendor and exhilaration that is unique
to tragedy. The tragic hero quality of an honest person, but the external antagonist of the criminal. Secondarily, this
theory of tragedy does not distinguish tragedy from irony. Irony does not need an exceptional central figure: the original
destiny never quite fades out of the tragedy.
as a rule, the more ignoble the hero the sharper the irony, when irony alone is the objective. It is heroism that creates the
splendor and exhilaration that is unique to tragedy. The tragic hero normally has an extraordinary, often a nearly divine,
destiny almost within grasp, and the glory of the original destiny never quite fades out of the tragedy.

The second theory of tragedy states that the act that sets the tragic process in motion must be primarily a violation of
normal law, whether human or divine; in short, that the tragic hero must have a flaw that has an essential connection with
sin. Again it is true that the great majority of tragic heroes do possess hubris, or a proud and passionate mind that seems
to make the hero’s downfall morally explicable. But such hubris is only the precipitating agent of catastrophe, just as in
comedy the cause )f the happy ending is usually some act of humility often performed by a noble character who is meanly
disguised.
This theory of tragedy as morally explicable runs into the question of whether an innocent sufferer in a tragedy, such as
Iphigenia, or Socrates in Plato Apology, is a tragic figure. They are, of course, even though it is not very easy to find crucial
moral flaws in them. Cordelia shows sincerity and high spirit in refusing to flatter her faber, and Cordelia is 30 hanged.
Tragedy, in short, is ambiguous and cannot be reduced to the opposition between human effort. and external fate, just as
it cannot be reduced to the opposition between good and evil.
