Passage 1
It has been found that less than one shopper in five makes-a-complete shopping
list before going to the store. The reason for this is that seven out of ten of today’
s purchases are decided in the store, where the shoppers tend toward impulse buying.
Buying groceries on impulse has risen for the past forty years, and this rise has
coincided with the growth of self-service shopping. However, in grocery stores where
clerks wait on customers there is much less impulse buying. It is hard for people
to buy on impulse if they have to address a clerk.
Psychiatrists have joined forces with merchandising experts. It is their job
to persuade people to buy products which they may not need or even want until the
see them attractively presented. It was discovered by the psychiatrists that they
prefer the package that hypnotizes them into choosing it. Therefore, it is now more
usual for good pacers to put more hypnosis into their package designs. Hypnosis
depends heavily on the position of the product on the shelf, however. Thus,
hypnotizing the shopper is easier if the product is located at eye-level.

list before going to the store.” This means that______.

shopping.” This means that______.
A. both impulse buying and self-service shopping have increased
B. impulse buying has increased but not self-service shopping
C. self-service shopping has increased but not impulse buying
D. either impulse buying or self-service shopping has increased
73. “In grocery stores where clerks wait on customers there is much less impulse
buying.” This means that______.
A. where there is no self-service shopping is no impulse buying
B. some grocery stores do not allow self-service shopping
C. when customers buy things by impulse, the clerks just wait
D. there is more impulse buying if the clerk do not wait on the customers
74. “It is the job of psychiatrists and merchandising experts to persuade people
to buy products that they may not need or even want until they see them attractively
presented.” This means that______.
A. attractive presentation of products increases sales
B. merchandising experts do not need to buy products
C. people can be persuaded to buy only by attractive presentation
D. people buy unnecessary or unwanted things
75. “Having so many choices confuses the customers, and they prefer the package
that hypnotizes them into choosing it.” This means that______.
A. hypnosis produces confusion
B. package choice can result from hypnosis
C. package choice result from confusion
D. confusion results in hypnosis
Passage 2
Allelomimetic behavior may be defined as behavior in which two or more individual
animals do the same thing, with some degree of mutual stimulation and coordination.
It can only evolve in species with sense organs that are well enough developed so
that continuous sensory contact can be maintained. It is found primarily in
vertebrates, in those species that are diurnal, and usually in those that spend much
of their lives in the air, in open water, or open plains.
In birds, allelomimetic behavior is the rule rather than the exception, though
it may occasionally be limited to particular seasons of the year as it is in the
redwing blackbird. Its principal function is that of providing safety from predators,
partly because if one bird reacts to danger, the whole flock is warned.
Among mammals, allelomimetic behavior is very rare in rodents, which almost
never move in flocks or herds. Even when they are artificially crowded together,
they do not conform in their movements.
In the pack-hunting carnivores, allelomimetic behavior has another function,
that of cooperative hunting for large prey animals such as moose. Wolves also defend
their dens as a group against larger predators such as bears.
B. A cave
C. An underground tunnel
D. A thick forest
B. look at each other
D. warn others of predators

where it has the principal function of providing warning against predators. though
combined defensive behavior is also seen in troops of baboons.
76. The main topic of the passage is the______.
A. values of allelomimetic behavior in vertebrate and invertebrate species.
B. definition and distribution of allelomimetic behavior
C. relationship of allelomimetic behavior to the survival of the fittest
D. personality factors that determine when an individual animal will show
allelomimetic behavior
77. According to the passage he primary function of allelomimetic behavior in birds
is to______.
A. defend nests against predators
C. locate prey
78. Which of the following places is the most likely setting for allelomimetic
behavior?
A. A lake
79. According to the passage, what happens to the behavior of rodents when they are
artificially crowded together?
A. Their allelomimetic behavior increases.
B. Continuous cooperation between them is maintained.
C. They become aggressive and attack each other.
D. They show little allelomimetic behavior
80. Which of the following is most clearly an example of allelomimetic behavior?
A. Bears hunting for carnivores.
B. Cattle fleeing from a fire.
C. Horses running at a racetrack.
D. Dogs working with polite officers.
81. Which of the following groups of human being would probably show the greatest
amount of allelomimetic behavior?
A. A group of students taking a test
B. Tennis plays competing in a tournament
C. A patrol of soldiers scouting for the enemy
D. Drivers waiting for a traffic light to change
