Kunci Jawaban: B

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.

21. What does the passage

mainly discuss?

A. The role of instinct in animal behavior

B. Observations that suggest consciousness in animal behavior
C. The use of food in studies of animal behavior

Kunci Jawaban: C

Scientists have discovered that for the last 160,000 years, at least, there has been a consistent
relationship between the amount of carbon dioxide in the air and the average temperature of the
planet. The importance of carbon dioxide in regulating the Earth's temperature was confirmed by
scientists working in eastern Antarctica. Drilling down into a glacier, they extracted a mile-long
cylinder of ice from the hole. The glacier had formed as layer upon layer of snow accumulated
year after year. Thus drilling into the ice was tantamount to drilling back through time. The
deepest sections of the core are composed of water that fell as snow 160,000 years ago. Scientists
in Grenoble, France, fractured portions of the core and measured the composition of ancient air
released from bubbles in the ice. Instruments were used to measure the ratio of certain isotopes in
the frozen water to get an idea of the prevailing atmospheric temperature at the time when that
particular bit of water became locked in the glacier.

The result is a remarkable unbroken record of temperature and of atmospheric levels of carbon
dioxide. Almost every time the chill of an ice age descended on the planet, carbon dioxide levels
dropped. When the global temperature dropped 9°F (5 °C), carbon dioxide levels dropped to 190
parts per million or so. Generally, as each ice age ended and the Earth basked in a warm
interglacial period, carbon dioxide levels were around 280 parts per million. Through the 160,000
years of that ice record, the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere fluctuated between 190 and
280 parts per million, but never rose much higher-until the Industrial Revolution beginning in the
eighteenth century and continuing today.

There is indirect evidence that the link between carbon dioxide levels and global temperature
change goes back much further than the glacial record. Carbon dioxide levels may have been
much greater than the current concentration during the Carboniferous period, 360 to 285 million
years ago. The period was named for a profusion of plant life whose buried remains produced a
large fraction of the coal deposits that are being brought to the surface and burned today.

31. Which of the following

does the passage mainly discuss?

Scientists have discovered that for the last 160,000 years, at least, there has been a consistent
relationship between the amount of carbon dioxide in the air and the average temperature of the
planet. The importance of carbon dioxide in regulating the Earth's temperature was confirmed by
scientists working in eastern Antarctica. Drilling down into a glacier, they extracted a mile-long
cylinder of ice from the hole. The glacier had formed as layer upon layer of snow accumulated
year after year. Thus drilling into the ice was tantamount to drilling back through time. The
deepest sections of the core are composed of water that fell as snow 160,000 years ago. Scientists
in Grenoble, France, fractured portions of the core and measured the composition of ancient air
released from bubbles in the ice. Instruments were used to measure the ratio of certain isotopes in
the frozen water to get an idea of the prevailing atmospheric temperature at the time when that
particular bit of water became locked in the glacier.

The result is a remarkable unbroken record of temperature and of atmospheric levels of carbon
dioxide. Almost every time the chill of an ice age descended on the planet, carbon dioxide levels
dropped. When the global temperature dropped 9°F (5 °C), carbon dioxide levels dropped to 190
parts per million or so. Generally, as each ice age ended and the Earth basked in a warm
interglacial period, carbon dioxide levels were around 280 parts per million. Through the 160,000
years of that ice record, the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere fluctuated between 190 and
280 parts per million, but never rose much higher-until the Industrial Revolution beginning in the
eighteenth century and continuing today.

Cities develop as a result of functions that they can perform. Some functions result directly from
the ingenuity of the citizenry, but most functions result from the needs of the local area and of the
surrounding hinterland (the region that supplies goods to the city and to which the city furnishes
services and other goods). Geographers often make a distinction between the situation and the
site of a city. Situation refers to the general position in relation to the surrounding region, whereas
site involves physical characteristics of the specific location. Situation is normally much more
important to the continuing prosperity of a city. if a city is well situated in regard to its hinterland, its
development is much more likely to continue. Chicago, for example, possesses an almost
unparalleled situation: it is located at the southern end of a huge lake that forces east-west
transportation lines to be compressed into its vicinity, and at a meeting of significant land and water
transport routes. It also overlooks what is one of the world’s finest large farming regions. These
factors ensured that Chicago would become a great city regardless of the disadvantageous
characteristics of the available site, such as being prone to flooding during thunderstorm activity.

many aspects of situation that help to explain why some cities grow and others do not, original
location on a navigable waterway seems particularly applicable. Of course, such characteristic as
slope, drainage, power resources, river crossings, coastal shapes, and other physical
characteristics help to determine city location, but such factors are normally more significant in
early stages of city development than later.

46. The word

“characteristics” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to

A. choices
B. attitudes
C. qualities
D. inhabitants

Kunci Jawaban: C

Cities develop as a result of functions that they can perform. Some functions result directly from
the ingenuity of the citizenry, but most functions result from the needs of the local area and of the
surrounding hinterland (the region that supplies goods to the city and to which the city furnishes

services and other goods). Geographers often make a distinction between the situation and the
site of a city. Situation refers to the general position in relation to the surrounding region, whereas
site involves physical characteristics of the specific location. Situation is normally much more
important to the continuing prosperity of a city. if a city is well situated in regard to its hinterland, its
development is much more likely to continue. Chicago, for example, possesses an almost
unparalleled situation: it is located at the southern end of a huge lake that forces east-west
transportation lines to be compressed into its vicinity, and at a meeting of significant land and water
transport routes. It also overlooks what is one of the world’s finest large farming regions. These
factors ensured that Chicago would become a great city regardless of the disadvantageous
characteristics of the available site, such as being prone to flooding during thunderstorm activity.

Similarly, it can be argued that much of New York City’s importance stems from its early and
continuing advantage of situation. Philadelphia and Boston both originated at about the same time
as New York and shared New York’s location at the western end of one of the world’s most
important oceanic trade routes, but only New York possesses an easy-access functional
connection (the Hudson-Mohawk lowland) to the vast Midwestern hinterland. This account does
