IV. Read the passage below. Then choose one best answer A, B, C or D to each question
The first system of communication of animals is natural. Many kinds of animals have ways of
communicating with each other. And one of the most interesting examples is that of bees. These insects
communicate with each other by dancing. The most important kind of dance that they do is concerned
with food. They get their food from flowers, of course, from plants and trees. When a bee has found
some food, it returns to the other bees and can give them three basic kinds of information about the
food: which direction it is in, whether it is nearby or a long way away, and whether it is good to eat or
poisonous.
22
The other kind of system of communication of animals is artificial. It means animals learn it; in this
case, they learn from man. Several famous experiments have been carried out with chimpanzees, trying
to teach them human language.
One of these experiments was done with a chimpanzee called Sarah. Sarah was taught to understand
a system of symbols which represented words. The symbols were cut out of coloured plastic, and each
different shape stood for a different word. For example, a red square stood for “banana”, Sarah’s
favorite fruit. Soon Sarah could not only understand words, but even sentences. She could obey orders:
if her human friends put down the symbols for “apple in cup”, she would put the apple in the cup. Later,
she began giving the scientists orders – she was writing her own sentences, and she got upset if the
scientists did not obey her. We do not yet know whether chimpanzees will ever learn to use language to
communicate as freely as human beings do, but the results so far suggest that this is at least a possibility.
1. According to the passage, bees
A. learn to communicate B. are born to be able to communicate
C. are the most interesting animals. D. communicate with each other by flying.
2. From the passage, we can conclude that bees are
A. so selfish as to let other bees share the bad food. B. so selfish as to look for food for themselves.
C. so hardworking that they dance all the time. D. so smart that they know where the food is.
3. The experiment done with Sarah is an example of
A. animals with natural system of communication
B. animals able to communicate with humans.
C. animals possible to use language as humans
D. animals with a system of communication worked out by humans.
4. The results of the experiment with chimpanzees show the possibility to teach animals
A. how to use language freely B. how to give orders
C. how to obey orders D. how to understand words and sentences.
5. The words “concerned with” are closest in meaning to
A. interested in B. responsible for C. related to D. joined to
