Part 3: Read the passage carefully. Then choose the item that best answers each of the
questions below. Circle A, B, C or D to indicate your choice.
Memory is a vital characteristic of the human species. Organisms evolve to adapt to their
environment in many different ways. There are, however, two broad classes of adaptation. The
first of these involves preprogramming the organism to cope with its environment so that it is
born with all the necessary instincts and equipment to operate efficiently and effectively with
virtually no learning. This is clearly a very successful means of adaptation and has enabled an
enormous range of organisms, from plants, bacteria, and insects to “simple” vertebrates, to
continue to flourish for millions of years. Such organisms have their mode of adaptation “wired
in” and, as such, have minimal need for learning or memory.
The second involves the production of an organism which is adaptable. Here, there is much
less preprogramming, and the organism is left to modify its behavior in response to its
environment. This allows for considerably greater complexity and variability of behavior. It also
demands a larger brain and is heavily dependent on the capacity to learn and remember. The
human race is the obvious example of this form of evolution – our ability to learn and remember
has allowed us to develop tools and language, technologies which in turn vastly increased our
ability to store and communicate yet more information through writing, and subsequently films,
videos, and computers, all of which can be regarded as an extension of the memory. However,
without the individual’s memory, the vast storage of information in the libraries all over the
world would be incomprehensible.
Accordingly, the ability to learn and remember, allowing as it does for the development of
language, is perhaps our most crucial characteristic.

116. The author mentions all of the following in connection with the first class of adaptation
EXCEPT:
A. ability to deal with the environment. B. state of being programmed in advance.
C. process of being wired into equipment. D. possession of the requisite instincts.

117. According to the passage, many organisms have existed for millions of years because they:
A. have inbuilt resources. B. continually adapt to the environment.
C. have no memory. D. are unable to learn.
118. According to the passage, the organism of the second class:
A. changes the behavior constantly. B. relies upon its memory.
C. modifies the environment. D. learns very quickly.
119. The author suggests that a human being’s memory is:
A. partly responsible for the growth of the language.
B. a tool used for understanding.
C. supported by technological advances.
D. dependent upon the storage of writing.
120. It can be referred from the passage that man’s most important characteristic is:
A. the ability to speak. B. the capacity to remember.
C. the skill of storing information. D. an aptitude for writing.

Part 4. The following people are choosing books to read. Look at the information about new
books. Decide which book each person should get. Mark the correct letter A to H in the space
provided for each number.
