Reading 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 1 to 10:
Animation traditionally is done by hand-drawing or painting successive frame of an object, each slightly different than the proceeding frame. In computer animation, although the computer may be the one to draw the different frames, in most cases the artist will draw the beginning and ending frames and the computer will produce the drawings between the first and the last drawing. This is generally referred to as computer-assisted animation, because the computer is more of a helper than an originator.
In full computer animation, complex mathematical formulas are used to produce the final sequences of pictures. These formulas operate on extensive databases of numbers that defines the objects in the pictures as they exist in mathematical space. The database consists of endpoints, and color and intensity information. Highly trained professionals are needed to produce such effects because animation that obtains high degrees of realism involves computer techniques from three-dimensional transformation, shading, and curvatures.
High-tech computer animation for film involves very expensive computer systems along with special color terminals or frame buffers. The frame buffer is nothing more than a giant image memory for viewing a single frame. It temporarily holds the image for display on the screen.
A camera can be used to film directly from the computer’s display screen, but for the highest quality images possible, expensive film recorders are used. The computer computers the positions and colors for the figures in the picture, and sends this information to the recorder, which captures it on film. Sometimes, however, the images are stored on a large magnetic disk before being sent to the recorder. Once this process is completed, it is replaced for the next frame. When the entire sequence has been recorded on the film, the film must be developed before the animation can be viewed. If the entire sequence does not seem right, the motions must be corrected, recomputed, redisplayed, and rerecorded. This approach can be very expensive and time- consuming. Often, computer-animation companies first do motion tests with simple computer-generated line drawings before selling their computers to the task of calculating the high-resolution, realistic-looking images.

Reading 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 question 71 to 80: Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember part 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 71: What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Observations that suggest consciousness in animal behavior. B. The use of food in studies of animal behavior. C. The role of instinct in animal behavior. D. Differences between the behavior of animals in their natural environments and in laboratory experiments. Question 72: Which of the following is NOT discussed as an ability animals are thought to have? A. Communicating emotions B. Remembering past experiences C. Selecting among choices D. Anticipating events to come Question 73: What is the purpose of the honeybee at a site? A. To determine the quality of food at a site B. To increase the speed of travel to food sources C. To identify the type of nectar that is available D. To communicate the location of food Question 74: The word “yet” is closest in meaning to ___________. A. however B. generally C. since D. so far Question 75: What did researchers discover in the study of honeybees discussed in paragraph 2? A. Bees are able to travel at greater speeds than scientists thought. B. The bees were able to determine in advance where scientists would place their food. C. Changing the location of food caused bees to decrease their dance activity. D. The bees could travel 25% farther than scientists expected. Question 76: It can be inferred from the passage that brain size is assumed to ___________. A. be an indicator of cognitive ability B. be related to food consumption C. correspond to levels of activity D. vary among individuals within a species Question 77: Why are otters and mussel shells included in the discussion in paragraph 3?

To show that animals are very good at using objects in their habitat. D. To provide an example of the use of weapons among animals. Question 78: The word “rudimentary” in meaning to ___________.
