Behavioural biologist Jane Atkinson and her colleagues have been studying the subtleties of how crows steal food from one another. Atkinson had been watching the birds at the beach as they fed on fish, clams and other small animals in the intertidal zone. She noticed that if a crow had found a particularly large meal that couldn't be eaten in a single gulp, another crow would often come by and try to steal the food away. Food theft is fairly common in the bird world, so the crows' thievery wasn't unexpected. What really intrigued Atkinson was that the birds employed two different tactics to take the food. In some instances, the thieving bird would take an aggressive approach - typically involving some chasing or physical contact, such as pecking in other ex-changes, however, the thief would use a more passive method: merely approaching the other bird secretively and stealing the food without any commotion at all. What the team wanted to know was: how did these tactics fit into the group foraging practices of the crows?
According to the passage, the question that interested the research team was ----.
A) whether the crows' sealing practices were instinctive or acquired
B) wry the crows chose to steal
C) related to the crows' foraging practices
D) whether the nature of the food affected the degree of attempted theft
E) whether the stealing practices of crows differed from those of other birds

The Renaissance originated in Italy for several
reasons. The most fundamental reason was that Italy
in the later Middle Ages was the most advanced
urban society in all of Europe. Unlike aristocrats north
of the Alps, Italian aristocrats customarily lived in
urban centres rather than in rural castles and
consequently became fully involved in urban public
affairs. Moreover, since the Italian aristocracy built its
palaces in the cities, the aristocratic class was less
sharply set off from the class of rich merchants than
in other European countries. Hence, whereas in
France or Germany most aristocrats lived on the
income from their lands while rich town dwellers,
called bourgeois in French, gained their living from
trade, in Italy so many town-dwelling aristocrats
engaged in banking or mercantile enterprises, and so
many rich mercantile families imitated the manners of
the aristocracy that, by the fourteenth and fifteenth
centuries, the aristocracy and upper bourgeoisie
were becoming virtually indistinguishable. For
instance, the noted Florentine family of the Medici,
which had emerged as a family of physicians (as the
name suggests), made its fortune in banking and
commerce, and rose into the aristocracy in the
fifteenth century. Obviously, social mobility as such
brought about a great demand for education in the
skills of reading and counting necessary to become a successful merchant, but the richest and most
prominent families sought above all to find teachers
who would impart to their sons the knowledge and
skills necessary in politics and public life.
According to the passage, unlike their French or
German counterparts, ----.
A) medieval Italian aristocrats lived in cities and
mixed with the general public
B) Italian merchants in the Renaissance period
were also engaged in trade north of the Alps
C) distinguished Italian families wished their sons to
become successful merchants
D) the Medici were actively involved in the politics
and diplomatic relations of their time
E) the Italian upper bourgeoisie were strongly
opposed to social mobility

By 1993, the world’s human population had reached 5.5 thousand million and, although the growth has slowed down in recent years, it will be many decades before it stops. The reason why this growth is causing so much concern is that we cannot keep up with the corresponding increase in demand for food, water, healthcare, jobs, education and housing. It also increases the likelihood of damage to the environment. Much of the growth has been in the poorer countries of the world, but overpopulation is also a problem for some rich countries, including Britain. With a population of approximately 58 million, Britain has 233 inhabitants per square kilometre. Furthermore, it is estimated that the number of people in the country will have increased to 62 million by 2031, at which time it will start to decline again. Populations not only increase because of higher birth rates, but also because of people moving from poor to rich countries, and from the countryside to the towns. In fact the latter cause is greater than general population growth and is creating many problems in the towns and cities, especially in poorer parts of the world.
58 . In the opinion of the author of the passage ____.
A) increase of world population is acceptable
B) goverments can supply the basic needs of people

Peeling back both space and time, scientists using the Hubble Space Telescope have found that the strange force known as dark energy appears to have existed for at least the past two-thirds of the universe's history. Dark energy is a mysterious repulsive force that opposes gravity, causing the universe to expand. Albert Einstein posited that a form of the force existed nearly a century ago by, but it was not discovered until 1998. Scientists believe dark energy makes up about 70 percent of the substance of the universe. Also, scientists can measure the strength of dark energy by looking at distant galaxies for a type of exploding star known as a Type 1A supernova.
