The American education system requires that students complete 12 years of primary and secondary education prior to attending university or college. This may be accomplished either at public or government-operated schools, or at private schools. These 12 years of schooling or their equivalent may also be completed outside the USA, thus giving foreign students the opportunity to pursue the benefits of the American education system and obtain a quality American education. Perhaps one of the most impressive facts is that a large number of presidents, prime ministers and leaders from other countries have experienced the American education system and graduated from a university or school in the USA. In many fields and industries, the American education system offers the most cutting-edge, sought-after programs at the world's best schools. That is why graduating from an accredited American school and being exposed to the rigors of the American education system is an investment in your future. Whether you want to study at a top USA university, a top USA college, a vocational or high school, a thorough understanding of how the American education system works is essential.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50. 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 father 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 four 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. Question 43: What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Differences between the behavior of animals in their natural environments and in laboratory experiments. B. Observations that suggest consciousness in animal behavior. C. The role of instinct in animal behavior. D. The use of food in studies of animal behavior. Question 44: Which of the following is NOT discussed as an ability animals are thought to have? A. Anticipating events to come B. Selecting among choices C. Remembering past experiences D. Communicating emotions Question 45: What is the purpose of the honeybee at a site? A. To identify the type of nectar that is available B. To determine the quality of food at a site C. To communicate the location of food D. To increase the speed of travel to food sources Question 46: What did researchers discover in the study of honeybees discussed in paragraph 2? A. The bees were able to determine in advance where scientists would place their food. B. Changing the location of food caused bees to decrease their dance activity. C. Bees are able to travel at greater speeds than scientists thought. D. The bees could travel 25% farther than scientists expected. Question 47: It can be inferred from the passage that brain size is assumed to ___. A. be related to food consumption B. be an indicator of cognitive ability C. correspond to levels of activity D. vary among individuals within a species Question 48: Why are otters and mussel shells included in the discussion in paragraph 3? A. To provide that certain species demonstrate greater ability in tool use than other species. B. To show that animals are very good at using objects in their habitat. C. To provide an example of tool use among animals. D. To provide an example of the use of weapons among animals. Question 49: The word “rudimentary” is closest in meaning to ___.
