PARAGRApH 2The eight chipmunk species of the Sierra Nevada represent but a few of the 15 species found in western North America, yet the whole of eastern North America makes do with but one species: the Eastern chipmunk. Why are there so many very similar chipmunks in the West? The presence of tall mountains interspersed with vast areas of arid desert and grassland makes the West ecologically far different from the East. The West affords much more opportunity for chipmunks populations to become geographically isolated from one another, a condition of species formation. Also, there are more extremes in western habitats. In the Sierra Nevada, high elevations are close to low elevations, at least in terms of mileage, but ecologically they are very different.The phrase “interspersed with” in the passage is closest in meaning to
-
Distributed among
-
Covered by
-
Positioned above
-
Evolved from
Correct Answer
A. Distributed amongExplanation
The phrase "interspersed with" in the passage means that tall mountains are distributed among vast areas of arid desert and grassland in the West. This implies that the mountains are scattered throughout the region, rather than being concentrated in one area.Rate this question:
-
- 12.
In paragraph 2, the author indicates that a large variety of chipmunk species exist in western North America because of
-
A large migration of chipmunks from eastern North America in an earlier period.
-
The inability of chipmunks to adapt to the high mountainous regions of eastern North America.
-
The ecological variety and extremes of the West that caused chipmunks to become geographically isolated.
-
The absence of large human populations that discouraged species formation among chipmunk species.
Correct Answer
A. The ecological variety and extremes of the West that caused chipmunks to become geographically isolated.Explanation
The author suggests that a large variety of chipmunk species exist in western North America because of the ecological variety and extremes of the West that caused chipmunks to become geographically isolated. This implies that the different environments and conditions in the West led to the chipmunks being separated from each other, leading to the development of distinct species.Rate this question:

PARAGRApH 3 Most ecologists believe that ancient populations of chipmunks diverged genetically when isolated from one another by mountains and unfavorable ecological habitat. These scattered populations first evolved into races - adapted to the local ecological conditions - and then into species, reproductively isolated from one another. This period of evolution was relatively recent, as evidenced by the similar appearance of all the western chipmunk species. The word “diverged” in the passage is closest in meaning to
-
Declined
-
Competed
-
Progressed
-
Separated
Correct Answer
A. SeparatedExplanation
The word "diverged" in the passage is closest in meaning to "separated". This is because the passage states that ancient populations of chipmunks diverged genetically when isolated from one another by mountains and unfavorable ecological habitat. This suggests that they became separated from each other and developed different genetic characteristics.Rate this question:

The phrase “one another” in the passage refers to
-
Populations
-
Races
-
Ecological conditions
-
Species
Correct Answer
A. SpeciesExplanation
The phrase "one another" in the passage refers to species. This means that the passage is discussing interactions or relationships between different species. It could be referring to how species interact with and affect each other in an ecosystem, or how they compete for resources or cooperate in some way. The phrase "one another" implies a mutual relationship or interaction, which is most commonly observed between different species in an ecological context.Rate this question:

PARAGRApH 4 Ecologists have studied the four chipmunk species that occur on the eastern slope of the Sierra and have learned just how these species interact while remaining separate, each occupying its own elevational zone. The sagebrush chipmunk is found at the lowest elevation, among the sagebrush. The yellow pine chipmunk is common in low to mid-elevations and open to conifer forests, including piñon and ponderosa and Jeffrey pine forests. The lodgepole chipmunk is found at higher elevations, among the lodgepoles, firs, and high-elevation pines. The alpine chipmunk is higher still, venturing the talus slopes, alpine meadows, and high-elevation pines and junipers. Obviously, the ranges of each species overlap. Why don’t sagebrush chipmunks move into the pine zones? Why don’t alpine chipmunks move to lower elevations and share the conifer forests with lodgepole chipmunks?6) Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in paragraph 4? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.
-
Ecologists studied how the geographic characteristics of the eastern slope of the Sierra influenced the social development of chipmunks.
-
Ecologists learned exactly how chipmunk species separated from each other on the eastern slope of the Sierra relate to one another.
-
Ecologists discovered that chipmunks of the eastern slope of the Sierra invade and occupy higher elevational zones when threatened by another species.
-
Ecologists studied how individual chipmunks of the eastern slope of the Sierra avoid interacting with others of their species.
Correct Answer
A. Ecologists learned exactly how chipmunk species separated from each other on the eastern slope of the Sierra relate to one another.Explanation
The correct answer explains that ecologists learned how chipmunk species on the eastern slope of the Sierra separate from each other and how they relate to one another. This suggests that the ecologists studied the interactions and relationships between the chipmunk species, rather than their geographic characteristics or individual behaviors.Rate this question:

Where does paragraph 4 indicate that the yellow pine chipmunk can be found in relationship to the other species of the eastern slope of the Sierra?
-
Below the sagebrush chipmunk
-
Above the alpine chipmunk
-
At the same elevation as the sagebrush chipmunk
-
Below the lodgepole chipmunk
Correct Answer
A. Below the lodgepole chipmunkExplanation
Paragraph 4 indicates that the yellow pine chipmunk can be found below the lodgepole chipmunk.Rate this question:
-
- 17.
PARAGRApH 5The answer, in one word, is aggression. Chipmunk species actively defend their ecological zones from encroachment by neighboring species. The yellow pine chipmunk is more aggressive than the sagebrush chipmunk, possibly because it is a bit larger. It successfully bullies its smaller evolutionary cousin, excluding it from the pine forests. Experiments have shown that the sagebrush chipmunk is physiologically able to live anywhere in the Sierra Nevada, from high alpine zones to the desert. The little creature is apparently restricted to the desert not because it is specialized to live only there but because that is the only habitat where none of the other chipmunk species can live. The fact that sagebrush chipmunks tolerate very warm temperatures makes them, and only them, able to live where they do. The sagebrush chipmunk essentially occupies its habitat by default. In one study, ecologists established that the yellow pine chipmunks actively exclude sagebrush chipmunks from pine forests; the ecologists simply trapped all the yellow pine chipmunks in a section of forest and moved them out. Sagebrush chipmunks immediately moved in, but yellow pine chipmunks did not enter the sagebrush desert when sagebrush chipmunks were removed. 8) The word “encroachment” in the passage is closest in meaning to
-
Complete destruction
-
Gradual invasion
-
Excessive development
-
Substitution
Correct Answer
A. Gradual invasionExplanation
The word "encroachment" in the passage refers to the act of gradually invading or intruding upon someone else's territory or space. This is supported by the statement that chipmunk species actively defend their ecological zones from encroachment by neighboring species. Therefore, the closest meaning to "encroachment" in this context is "gradual invasion" because it implies a slow and steady intrusion into another's territory.Rate this question:

Paragraph 5 mentions all of the following as true of the relationship of sagebrush chipmunks to their habitats EXCEPT:
-
Sagebrush chipmunks are able to survive in any habitat of the Sierra Nevada.
-
Sagebrush chipmunks occupy their habitat because of the absence of competition from other chipmunks.
-
Sagebrush chipmunks are better to survive in hot temperatures than other species of chipmunks.
-
Sagebrush chipmunks spend the warm season at the higher elevations of the alpine zone.
Correct Answer
A. Sagebrush chipmunks spend the warm season at the higher elevations of the alpine zone.Explanation
The passage mentions that sagebrush chipmunks occupy their habitat because of the absence of competition from other chipmunks, that they are better able to survive in hot temperatures than other species of chipmunks, and that they are able to survive in any habitat of the Sierra Nevada. However, it does not mention that sagebrush chipmunks spend the warm season at the higher elevations of the alpine zone.Rate this question:
-

Which of the following statements is supported by the results of the experiment described at the end of paragraph 5?
-
The habitat of the yellow pine chipmunk is a desirable one to other species, but the habitat of the sagebrush chipmunk is not.
-
It was more difficult to remove sagebrush chipmunks from their habitat than it was to remove yellow pine chipmunks from theirs.
-
Yellow pine chipmunks and sagebrush chipmunks require the same environmental conditions in their habitats.
-
The temperature of the habitat is not an important factor to either yellow pine chipmunk or the sagebrush chipmunk.
Correct Answer
A. The habitat of the yellow pine chipmunk is a desirable one to other species, but the habitat of the sagebrush chipmunk is not.Explanation
The experiment described at the end of paragraph 5 supports the statement that the habitat of the yellow pine chipmunk is desirable to other species, but the habitat of the sagebrush chipmunk is not. This can be inferred from the fact that it was more difficult to remove sagebrush chipmunks from their habitat compared to yellow pine chipmunks, indicating that other species are not as attracted to the sagebrush chipmunk's habitat.Rate this question:

PARAGRApH 6The most aggressive of the four eastern-slope species is the lodgepole chipmunk, a feisty rodent indeed. It actively prevents alpine chipmunks from moving downslope, and yellow pine chipmunks from moving upslope. There is logic behind the lodgepole’s aggressive demeanor. It lives in the cool, shaded conifer forests, and of the four species, it is the least able to tolerate heat stress. It is, in other words, the species of the strictest habitat needs: it simply must be in those shaded forests. However, if it shared its habitat with alpine and yellow pine chipmunks, either or both of these species might outcompete it, taking most of the available food. Such a competition could effectively eliminate lodgepole chipmunks from the habitat. Lodgepoles survive only by virtue of their aggression.
- According to paragraph 6, why is the lodgepole chipmunk so protective of its habitat from competing chipmunks?
-
It has specialized food requirements.
-
It cannot tolerate cold temperatures well.
-
It requires the shade provided by forests trees.
-
It prefers to be able to move between areas that are downslope and upslope.
Correct Answer
A. It requires the shade provided by forests trees.Explanation
The paragraph states that the lodgepole chipmunk lives in cool, shaded conifer forests and is the least able to tolerate heat stress. It cannot survive in areas without shade. Therefore, it is protective of its habitat from competing chipmunks because if it shared its habitat with them, they might outcompete it for food and effectively eliminate the lodgepole chipmunks from the habitat. This suggests that the lodgepole chipmunk requires the shade provided by forest trees to survive.Rate this question:

Directions: Read the passage. Then answer the questions. Give yourself 20 minutes to complete this practice set. CETACEAN INTELLIGENCE We often hear that whales, dolphins, and porpoises are as intelligent as humans, maybe even more so. Are they really smart? There is no question that cetaceans are among the most intelligent of animals. Dolphins, killer whales, and pilot whales in captivity quickly learn tricks. The military has trained bottlenose dolphins to find bombs and missile heads and to work as underwater spies. This type of learning, however, is called conditioning. The animal simply learns that when it performs a particular behavior, it gets a reward, usually a fish. Many animals, including rats, birds, and even invertebrates, can be conditioned to perform tricks. We certainly don’t think of these animals as our mental rivals. Unlike most other animals, however, dolphins quickly learn by observations and may spontaneously imitate human activities. One tame dolphin watched a diver cleaning an underwater viewing window, seized a feather in its beak, and began imitating the diver –complete with sound effects! Dolphins have also been seen imitating seals, turtles, and even water-skiers. Given the seeming intelligence of cetaceans, people are always tempted to compare them with humans and other animals. Studies on discrimination and problem-solving skills in the bottlenose dolphin, for instance, have concluded that its intelligence lies “somewhere between that of a dog and a chimpanzee.” Such comparisons are unfair. It is important to realize that intelligence is a very human concept and that we evaluate it in human terms. After all, not many people would consider themselves stupid because they couldn’t locate and identify a fish by its echo. Why should we judge cetaceans by their ability to solve human problems? Both humans and cetaceans have large brains with an expanded and distinctively folded surface, the cortex. The cortex is the dominant association center of the brain, where abilities such as memory and sensory perception are centered. Cetaceans have larger brains than ours, but the ratio of brain to body weight is higher in humans. Again, direct comparisons are misleading. In cetaceans it is mainly the portions of the brain associated with hearing and the processing of sound information that are expanded. The enlarged portions of our brain deal largely with vision and hand-eye coordination. Cetaceans and humans almost certainly perceive the world in very different ways. Their world is largely one of sounds, ours one of sights. Contrary to what is depicted in movies and on television, the notion of “talking” to dolphins is also misleading. Although they produce a rich repertoire of complex sounds, they lack vocal cords and their brains probably process sound differently from ours. Bottlenose dolphins have been trained to make sounds through the blow-hole that sound something like human sounds, but this is a far cry from human speech. By the same token, humans cannot make whale sounds. We will probably never be able to carry on an unaided conversation with cetaceans. As in chimpanzees, captive bottlenose dolphins have been taught American Sign Language. These dolphins have learned to communicate with trainers who use sign language to ask simple questions. Dolphins answered back by pushing a “yes” or “no” paddle. They have been known to give spontaneous responses not taught by trainers. Evidence also indicates that these dolphin can distinguish between commands that differ from each other only by their word order, a truly remarkable achievement. Nevertheless, dolphins do not seem to have a real language like ours. Unlike humans, dolphins probably cannot convey very complex messages. Observations of cetaceans in the wild have provided some insights on their learning abilities. Several bottlenose dolphins off western Australia, for instance, have been observed carrying large cone-shaped sponges over their beaks. They supposedly use the sponges for protection against stingrays and other hazards on the bottom as they search for fish to eat. This is the first record use of tools among wild cetaceans. Instead of “intelligence,” some people prefer to speak of “awareness.” In any case, cetaceans probably have a very different awareness and perception of their environment than do humans. Maybe one day we will come to understand cetaceans on their terms instead of ours, and perhaps we will discover a mental sophistication rivaling our own. Directions: Now answer the questions. Paragraph 1 We often hear that whales, dolphins, and porpoises are as intelligent as humans, maybe even more so. Are they really that smart? There is no question that cetaceans are among the most intelligent of animals. Dolphins, killer whales, and pilot whales in captivity quickly learn tricks.

-
To introduce the discussion of intelligence that follows
-

-
To emphasize the ways that dolphins can help the military
Correct Answer
A. To introduce the discussion of intelligence that followsExplanation

-
Conditioned
-
Reluctant
-
Inclined
-
Invited
Correct Answer
A. InclinedExplanation
The word "tempted" in the passage suggests that people are inclined or have a natural inclination to compare cetaceans with humans and other animals. The word implies that there is a strong desire or urge to make these comparisons, indicating a natural tendency or inclination towards this behavior.Rate this question:

According to the passage, why are the studies that conclude that dolphin intelligence is “somewhere between that of a dog and a chimpanzee” not correct?
-
The human method of drawing comparisons is not relevant to animal intelligence.
-
Dolphins have actually shown to be much more intelligent than chimpanzees.
-
The studies were not conducted according to standard research methods.
-
Dolphins do not typically demonstrate conditioned responses for humans to observe.
Correct Answer
A. The human method of drawing comparisons is not relevant to animal intelligence.Explanation
The passage suggests that the studies concluding that dolphin intelligence is "somewhere between that of a dog and a chimpanzee" are not correct because the human method of drawing comparisons is not relevant to animal intelligence. This implies that humans cannot accurately measure or understand the intelligence of animals using their own standards and methods of comparison.Rate this question:
