Section I – General English
I. Reading Comprehension :
Some modern anthropologists hold that biological evolution has shaped not only human morphology but also human behavior. The role those anthropologists ascribe to evolution is not of dictating the details of human behavior but one of imposing constraints – ways of feeling, thinking, and acting that ”come naturally” in archetypal situations in any culture. Our ”frailties” – emotions and motives such as rage, fear, greed, gluttony, joy, lust, love-may be a very mixed assortment quality: we are, as we say, ”in the grip” of them. And thus they give us our sense of constraints.
Unhappily, some of those frailties our need for ever-increasing security among them are presently maladaptive. Yet beneath the overlay of cultural detail, they, too, are said to be biological in direction, and therefore as natural to us as are our appendixes. We would need to comprehend thoroughly their adaptive origins in order to understand how badly they guide us now. And we might then begin to resist their pressure.
1. The author implies that control to any extent over the ”frailties” that constrain our behavior is thought to presuppose
A. That those frailties and adaptive are recognized as currently beneficial and adaptive
B. That there is little or no overlay of cultural detail that masks their true nature.
C. That there are cultures in which those frailties do not ”come naturally” and from which such control can be learned
D. A full understanding of why those frailties evolved and of how they function now

2. It can be inferred that in his discussion of maladaptive frailties the author assumes that
A. Evolution does not favor the emergence of adaptive characteristics over the emergence of maladaptive ones
B. Changes in the total human environment can outpace evolutionary change.
C. Maladaptive characteristics, once fixed, make the emergence of other maladaptive characteristics more likely

3. The primary purpose of the passage is to present
A. A position on the foundations of human behavior and on what those foundations imply
B. A theory outlining the parallel development of human morphology and of human behavior
C. A diagnostic test for separating biologically determined behavior pattern from culture – specific detail
D. An overview of those human emotions and motive’s that impose constraints on human behaviour

4. Which of the following most probably provides an appropriate analogy from human morphology for the ”details” versus ”constraints” distinction made in the passage in relation to human behaviour?
A. The ability of most people to see all the colors of the visible spectrum as against most peoples inability to name any but the primary colors
B. The ability of even the least fortunate people to show compassion as against people’s inability to mask their feelings completely
C. The ability of some people to dive to great depths as against most people’s inability to swim long distance

B. Sandra earns more commission than Lisa
C. Sandra earns more commission than Andrew
D. Sandra and Andrew earn the same amount of commission

3. During the SARS days, about 23,500 doctors who had treated SARS sufferers died and about 23,670 doctors who had not engaged in treatment for SARS sufferers died.

Which of the following would reveal most clearly the absurdity of the conclusion drawn above?
A. Counting deaths among doctors who had participated in SARS treatment in addition to deaths among doctors who had not participated in SARS treatment
B. Expressing the difference between the numbers of deaths among doctors who had treated SARS sufferers and doctors who had not treated SARS suffers as a percentage of the total number of deaths
C. Separating deaths caused by accidents during the treatment to SARS suffers from deaths caused by infect of SARS suffers.
D. Comparing death rates per thousand members of each group rather than comparing total numbers of deaths
