    2 D D UnauthoI1zed copving or reuse ofany part of this page is illegal D D 2The passages below are followed by questions based on their content; questions following a pair of related passages may albe based on the relationship between the paired passages. Answer the questions on the basis of what is or in passages and in any introductory material that may be provided.

    Questions 9-12 are based on the following passages.Passage 1

    The intelligence of dolphins is well documented by science. Studies show that dolphins are able to understandsign language, solve puzzles, and use objects in theirenvironment as tools. Scientists also believe that dolphinspossess a sophisticated language: numerous instances havebeen recorded in which dolphins transmitted informationfrom one individual to another. A recent experiment provedthat dolphins can even recognize themselves in a mirrorsomething achieved by very few animals. This behaviordemonstrates that dolphins are aware of their own individuality, indicating a level of intelligence that may bevery near our own.Passage 2

    Are dolphins unusually intelligent? Dolphins havelarge brains, but we know that brain size alone doesnot determine either the nature or extent of intelligence.Some researchers have suggested that dolphins have bigbrains because they need them-for sonar and soundprocessing and for social interactions. Others have arguedthat regardless of brain size, dolphins have an intelligencelevel somewhere between that of a dog and a chimpanzee.The fact is, we don't know, and comparisons may not beespecially helpful. Just as human intelligence is appropriate for human needs, dolphin intelligence is right for thedolphin's way of life. Until we know more, all we can sayis that dolphin intelligence is different.9. In lines 2-8, the author of Passage 1 mentions activitiesthat suggest dolphins

    (A) are unusually sensitive to their environment(B) do not generally thrive in captivity(C) have a unique type of intelligence(D) are uncommonly playful animals(E) have skills usually associated with humans

    I.

    10. The author of Passage 2 would most likely responto the last sentence of Passage I by(A) suggesting that intelligence in animals is virtimpossible to measure(B ) observing that intelligence does not mean thesame thing for every species(C) questioning the objectivity of the studies alreconducted(D) noting that dolphin activities do not require alevel of intelligence(E ) arguing that little is actually known about dosocial behavior

    " I11. The two passages differ in their views of dolphinintelligence in that Passage 1 states that dolphins(A) share a sophisticated culture, while Passage 2contends that dolphin intelligence is roughlequal to human intelligence(B ) are as intelligent as humans, while Passage 2notes that dolphins outperform other anima(C) are more intelligent than most other animals,while Passage 2 points out that dolphins arless intelligent than other mammals(D) are highly intelligent, while Passage 2 suggethat there is not enough evidence to undersdolphin intelligence fully(E) have large brains. while Passage 2 argues thabrain size does not signify intelligence

    12. Which generalization about dolphins is supportedby both passages?(A) They display self-awareness.(B) They are more emotional than other animals(C) They learn at a rapid rate.(D) They have a certain degree of intelligence.(E) 1l'tey h,ave shown the ability to use tools.

    2 DO Unauthorized copying or reuse ofany part of this page Is Dlegal. o oQuestions 1324 are based on the following passage.The following passage appeared in an essay writtenin 1987 in which the author, who is ofNative Americandescent, examines the representation ofNative Americansduriiig the course ofUnited States history.

    In many respects living Native Americans remain asmysterious. exotic. and unfathomable to their contemporaries at the end of the twentieth century as they were to thePilgrim settlers over three hundred fifty years ago. Native5 rights, motives, customs, languages, and aspirations aremisunderstood by Euro-Americans out of a culpable ignorance that is both self-serving and self-righteous. Part ofthe problem may well stem from the long-standing tendency of European or Euro-American thinkers to regardNative Americans as fundamentally and profoundlydifferent, motivated more often by mysticism than byambition, charged more by unfathomable visions than

    by intelligence or introspection.This idea is certainly not new. Rousseau's* "noblesavages" wandered, pure of heart, through a pristine world.Since native people were simply assumed to be incomprehensible, they were seldom comprehended. Their societieswere simply beheld, often through cloudy glasses, andrarely probed by the tools of logic and deductive analysisautomatically reserved for cultures prejudged to be"civilized." And on those occasions when Europeansdid attempt to formulate an encompassing theory, it wasnot, ordinarily, on a human-being-to-human-being baiis,but rather through an ancestor-descendant model. NativeAmericans, though obviously contemporary with theirobservers, were somehow regarded as ancient, examplesof what Stone Age Europeans must have been like.It' s a great story, an international crowd pleaser, butthere is a difficulty: Native Americans were, and are,Homo sapiens sapiens. Though often equipped with ashovel-shaped incisor tooth, eyes with epicanthic folds,or ail extra molar cusp, Native American people have badto cope. for the last forty thousand years or so, just likeevervone else. Their cultures have had to make internal

    s e n s ~ , their medicines have had to work consistently andpractically. their philosophical explanations have had to bereasonably satisfying and dependable, or else the ancestorsof those now called Native Americans would truly havevanished long ago.The reluctance in accepting this obvious fact comesfrom the Eurocentric conviction that the West holds amonopoly on science, logic, and clear thinking. Toadmit that other, culturally divergent viewpoints areequally plausible is to cast doubt on the monolithiccenter of Judeo-Christian belief: that there is but oneof everything-God . right way, truth-and Europeansalone knew what that was. If Native American cultures

    392

    were acknowledged as viable, then European societieswere something less than an exclusive club. It is little50 wonder, therefore, that Native Americans were perceivednot so much as they were but as they had to be, from aEuropean viewpoint. They dealt in magic, not method. . .They were stuck in their past, not guided by its precedents.Such expedient misconception argues strongly for the55 development and dissemination of a more accurate, moreobjective historical account of native peoples-a goaleasier stated than accomplished. Native American societieswere nonliterate before and during much of the early period

    of their contact with Europe, making the task of piecing60 together a history particularly demanding. The familiar andreassuring kinds of written documentation found in Europeansocieties of equivalent chronological periods do not exist,and the forms of tribal record preservation available-oralhistory, tales, mnemonic devices, and religious rituals-65 strike university-trained academics as inexact. unreliaBle,and suspect. Western historians. culture-bound by ttJeir

    own a p p ~ a c h to knowledge, are apt to declaim thatbext tonothing, save the evidence of archaeology, can be n o ~ nof early Native American life. To them, an absolute VOId

    70 is more acceptable and rigorous than an educated guess.However. it is naive to assume that any culture's historyis perceived without subjective prejudice. Every modemobserver, whether he or she was schooled in the traditionsof the South Pacific or Zaire, of Hanover, New Hampshire,

    75 or Vienna, Austria. was exposed at an early age to one oranother form of folklore about Native Americans. Forsome, the very impressions about Native American tribesthat initially attracted them to the field of American historyare aspects most firmly rooted in popular myth and stereo-80 type. Serious scholarship about Native American culture and

    history is unique in that it requires an initial, abrupt, andwrenching demythologizing. Most students do not startfrom point zero, but from-minus.zero. and in the process areoften required to abandon cherished childhood fantasies of85 superheroes or larger-than-life villains.

    Questions 6-7 ar e based on the following passage.Sometimes the meaning of old phrases is self-evident,as with to move like greased lightning and a close shave.But quite often we are left with language that seems tohave sprung out of the blue and does not appear to signify

    5 anything in particular-even steven, fit as a fiddle, or topaint the town red. Explanations are frequently positedbut are too often unpersuasive. One popular dictionary, forexample, suggests that to be joshing might be connected tothe humorist Josh Billings, but in fact the term was currentas early as 1845. Josh Billings was unknown outside hisneighborhood until 1860.6. Which of the following phrases would the author

    Questions 8-9 ar e based on the following passage.The following study is concerned with Western citiesfrom the Middle Ages up to the twentieth century, in termsof who did what, why, where, and when. It aims to start

    Line with the functions that have drawn people to cities, and to5 work outward from them to the spaces and buildings thatgrew up to cater to them. Savoring cities in ignorance ordrinking them in visually is not enough; I want to find outnot just who designed the buildings and when they werebuilt but why they were built.

    8. Which of the following would most likely be foundat the beginning of this study?(A) A statistical analysis of crime rates in severalancient Western cities(B) A discussion of the role of central marketplaces in the early Middle Ages(e ) A series of portraits of famous people whohave chosen city life(D) An account of the architectural challengesinvolved in building large cathedrals(E) An essay on ancient archaeological sitesworth visiting today

    Questions 19-24 ar e based on the following passage .The following passage is excerpted from a review ofa bookabout aviation's early years. ,Aviation belonged to the new century in Pok to construct efficient machines that weighed as

    little as possible. In effect, they were practical engineers at-.,f the cheap end of the market, but they happened to befascinated by flight. Says one writer, "Wilbur [Wright]spent his time studying the flight of vultures, eagles,20 ospreys, and hawks, trying to discover the secret of theirability to maneuverwith their wings in unstable air .Tothose who later asked him how he learned to fly, he lovedto reply through his scarcely opened lips: 'Like a bird.'"This is the point at which engineering intersects with the25 imagination, with humanity's ancient dream of freeingitself from gravity. Until the first fliers got to work, thebody was earthbound,'but it enclosed a soul that flew-inmeditation, in poetry, and, as the seventeenth-centuryEnglish poet Andrew Marvell showed, sometimes30 spectacularly in both:

    Casting the body's vest asideMy soul into the boughs does glide:There. like a Bird, it sits and sings.Then whets and combs its silver wings,35 And, till prepared for longer flight.Waves in its plumes the various light.

    At the beginning of this century, the new lightengineering that allowed people to fly seemed to theuninitiated a kind of poetry. In 1913, a writer in the40 Atlantic Monthly claimed that "machinery is our new artform" and praised "the engineers whose poetry is too deep

    to look poetic" and whose gifts "have swung their soulsfree . . . like gods." One of Wright's most eloquentadmirers called him a poet and compared him to one of45 "those monks of Asia Minor who live perched on the tops

    of inaccessible mountain peaks. The soul of Wilbur Wrightis just as high and faraway." Wright was, in fact, "deeplymiddle-class and unheroic," writes one biographer, butthose obsessed with the glamour of flight pretended not to50 notice.

    19. The primary purpose of the passage is to(A) profile the unique personalities of aviation pi(B) examine the theme ,of flight in contemporarypoetry(C) survey the effects of aviation on twentieth-clifestyles(D) explain important principles of flight in nonnicallanguage(E) discuss how early aviation captured people'simagination

    20. In lines 3-9, the description of the steam engine iprimarily intended to illustrate(A) how train engineers provided a model that avengineers could follow(B) how the Industrial Revolution accelerated sointerest in travel(C) a form of engineering that emphasized imm

    (A) avia tion's progress was hindered by people had little concern for quality(B) the public could afford to fly because airplaused inexpensive materials(C) aviators were the target of unwarranted and criticism(D) the pioneers of aviation had modest technolobeginnings(E) nineteenth-century engineering methods weextravagant

    The two passages below are followed by ques tions based on their content and on the relationship between the two passages:Answer the questions on the basis of what is stated or in the passages and in any introductory material that may beprovided.

    Questions 7-19 are based on the iollowing passages.The narrator ofPassage 1 describes the behavior ofhisfriend Jerry, with whom he is rooming in an unspecifiedAfrican country. In Passage 2, a different narrator describeshimsel f while visiting an English couple in London. Both.fictional works were published in the early 1980's,Passage 1

    Jerry was deceitful, but at the time I did not think hewas imaginative enough to do any damage. And yet hiswas not the conventional double life that most White people

    L i I ; ~ led in Africa. Jerry had certain ambitions: ambition makes:; more liars than egotism does. But Jerry was so careful, hislies such modest calculations, that he was always believed.He said he was from Boston, "Belmont actually," he toldme. when I said I was from Medford. His passport saidWatertown. He felt he had to conceal it. That explained10 a lot: t.'1e insecurity of living on the lower slopes of thelong hill. between the smoldering steeples of Boston andthe clean, high-priced air of Belmont. We are probably nomore class-conscious than the British, but when we makeclass an issue. it seems more than snobbery, It becomes15 a bizarre spectacle, a kind of attention-seeking, and I cannot hear an American speaking of his or her social positionwithout thinking of a human fly, one. of those tiny peoplein grubby capes whom one sometimes sees clinging to thebrickwork of a tall building.What had begun as fantasy had, after six months of hisrepeating it in our insignificant place, made it seem like

    fact. I had the impression that it was one of the reasons Jerrywanted to stay in Africa. I f you tell enough lies about yourself. they take hold. It becomes impossible ever to go back,since that means facing the truth. In Africa, no one coulddispute what Jerry. said he was: a wealthy Bostonian, froma family of some distinction, adventuring in philanthropybefore inheriting his father's business,Passage 2

    Anna and Chris made me at ease the first day in their30 polished living room-though I was not sure why t ~ e s epeople would bother putting themselves out for me At all,And when they kept inviting me back for dinner partiesand extending their hospitality, I wondered if maybe theywere bored, or jf their ignorance of American types was35 such that they failed to see that I was not at all of their socialclass: I kept expecting some crude regional expression tobetray me; and, once I thought of it in those terms, I knewI would have to make sure they saw that side ofme-todo less would be like trying to "pass.". Yet whatever I said40 seemed ((1 make no difference in their acceptance. I then

    420

    suspected that my rough-edgedness itself was entertainingto them as a source of vitality, their diversion-of-the-month.This would have made more sense if the Hodgkinsons werebored, dried-up people who needed to feast on any new45 stranger, but they were not; they were in the world andleading stimulating lives and I finally had to come to theanxious conclusion that they simply liked me.The truth was I had changed, though I was perhapsthe last to see it. While still feeling myself a child from50 the slums; I had gotten a university educatioI;l, acquireda taste for esoteric culture; and now, when I thought backto my students in East Harlem, where I felt I should reallybelong, it seemed that I was a stranger there as welL Yet Idid no, fit in with people born to middle-class comfort either.55 It seeThed there was no group at all in which I could feel athome,\Perhaps anyone with the tiniest sensitivity comes tothat banal conclusion. But what I was seeing now with horror,in the Accepting eyes of those a class above me, was thatI had already partly metamorphosed-into them, My only60 hope of growing seemed to point in an upward social direction; but that direction aroused in me a characteristic disapproval and distaste. I was by no means attracted by everythingI saw in well-off people's lives, and the momentary need toaccept their hospitality and keep secret my criticism of themfJ5 made me feel like a hypocrite.

    7. Jerry in Passage 1 and the narrator of Passage 2 aresimilar in that both(A) feel a strong desire to advance socially(B) feel insecurity about their backgrounds(C) are unsuccessful in deceiving others(D) are determined to remain genuine in the face

    of pressure to conform(E) have been unduly influenced by the lifestyles

    of their friends8. Jerry differs most from the narrator of Passage 2 in his

    (A) apparent satisfaction with his present circumstances(B) ability to differentiate fantasy from reality(C) willingness to devote his time to philanthropicconcerns(D) refusal to accept the labels and judgments of others(E) eagerness to befriend people of all social andeconomic classes
