and devastating, if well taken. It is claimed that
Darwinian evolutionary theory—the critics usually lump

is no genuine scientific theory at all. Despite
appearances, it is just not about the empirical world; it
is rather, at most, a speculative philosophy of nature,
on a par with Plato’s theory of forms or
Swedenborgian theology. It is, in short, a metaphysical
wolf masquerading as a scientific lamb. And, although
the critics hasten to assure us that there is nothing
wrong with metaphysics, it is usually not too long
before words like “slight” or “inadequate” or even
“dismal” start to slip into the talk. All in all, we are
left with the impression that Darwinism says nothing,
and even if it did say something, it would not be that
worth listening to. “ ” is a
charitable epitaph.

evidence

Stuart Mill’s classic exploration of the liberty of

_____________; in the absence of challenge, one’s
opinions, even when they are correct, grow weak and
flabby. Yet Mill had another reason for encouraging
the liberty of thought and discussion: the danger of
partiality and incompleteness. Since one’s opinions,
even under the best circumstances, tend to embrace
only a portion of the truth, and because opinions

24. Languages are distributed unevenly around the world:
about 10% of the world’s area contains half of its
languages. For instance, the world’s three largest
countries Russia, Canada, and China, each with an
area of millions of square miles have only about 100,
80, and 300 native languages respectively. But New
Guinea and Vanuatu, with areas of only 300,000 and
4,700 square miles respectively, have about 1,000 and
110 native languages. Why is there such enormous
geographic variation in language diversity? Linguists
recognize ecological, socio-economical, and historical
factors apparently contributing to the answer. Language

diversity e.g., the number of native languages per
1,000 square miles of area correlates with numerous
potentially explanatory factors, but these factors are in
turn correlated with each other. Hence one has to
resort to statistical methods to tease out which factors
have primary effects actually causing language diversity
to be high or low, and which other factors have just
apparent effects mediated by their correlations with
those primary factors. For example, there is a positive
correlation between Rolls-Royce car ownership and
lifespan: Rolls-Royce owners live on average longer
than do people who don’t own Rolls-Royces. That is
not because Rolls-Royce ownership directly improves
survival, but because Rolls-Royce owners tend to have
lots of money, which enables them to pay for the best
health care, which is the actual cause of their long
lifespans.

It is generally the case that the larger a country is
the more native languages it tends to have.
Factors that are known to contribute to geographic
variation in language diversity differ in their
explanatory power.
Statistical models of language diversity are generally
not applicable to exploring the relation between
Rolls-Royce ownership and lifespan.
Significant positive correlations are found between
language diversity and the power of a country where
the language is spoken.
25. Animals rely on many kinds of chemical signals to
regulate their body activities. The estrogens are one
kind of signal, a hormone. (A) An animal hormone is
a chemical signal that is carried by the circulatory
system usually in the blood and that communicates
regulatory messages throughout the body. (B) Hormones
are made and secreted mainly by organs called
endocrine glands. Collectively, all of an animal’s
hormone-secreting cells constitute its endocrine system,
one of two bodily systems for communication and
chemical regulation. The other system of internal
communication and regulation is the nervous system.
(C) The flick of a frog’s tongue catching a fly and the
jerk of your hand away from a flame result from
high-speed nerve signals. The endocrine system
coordinates slower but longer-lasting responses. (D) In
some cases, the endocrine system takes hours or even
days to act, partly because of the time it takes for
hormones to be made and transported to all their target
organs and partly because the cellular response may
take time.

been thrust upon him. When he had first returned to
Rien’s shores after an absence of nearly two years, he
had been stunned to discover the wealth of changes
that had occurred when he was away. The reaction of
the people to his sudden appearance had been nothing
short of a revelation: they treated him with a reverence
he did not believe possible for men and women of the
hollow. His coming and the gift he brought had been
foretold by the seer, Lady Emily Celosia. She had told
them that Kothra and his companions could save and
rebuild the city with the skills they had learned in the
outer world. Regarding the prophecy as an immutable
truth, the people gathered a pile of ruins from the
former city and the outlying districts and built a
stronghold where he would reside. All their efforts
would be a homage to their new lord and master.

To speak of ‘the aim’ of scientific activity may
perhaps sound (A) a little naive; different scientists
have different aims, and science itself has no aims. I
admit all this. And yet it seems that when we speak of
science we do feel, more or less clearly, that there is
something characteristic of scientific activity; and since
scientific activity looks pretty much like a rational
activity, and since a rational activity must have some
aim, the attempt to describe the aim of science may
not be entirely (B) fruitful.
I suggest that it is the aim of science to find
satisfactory explanations, of whatever strikes us as
being in need of explanation. By an explanation (or a
causal explanation) is meant a set of statements of
which one describes the state of affairs to be explained
(the explicandum) while the others, the explanatory
statements, form the ‘explanation’ in the narrower sense
of the word (the explicans of the explicandum).
We may take it, as a rule, that the explicandum is
more or less well known to be true, or assumed to be
so known. For there is little point in asking for an
explanation of a state of affairs which may turn out to
be entirely (C) imaginary. (Flying saucers may
represent such a case: the explanation needed may not
be of flying saucers, but of reports of flying saucers;
yet should flying saucers exist, then no further
explanation of the reports would be required.)
The explicans, on the other hand, which is the object
of our search, will as a rule not be known: it will
Unlike the endocrine system, which sends chemical
signals through the bloodstream, the nervous system
promptly transmits electrical signals via nerve cells.

have to be discovered. Thus, scientific explanation,
whenever it is a discovery, will be _____________.
The explicans, in order to be satisfactory, must fulfill a
number of (D) conditions. First, it must logically entail
the explicandum. Secondly, the explicans ought to be
true, although it will not, in general, be known to be
true; in any case, it must not be known to be false
even after the most critical examination.

Even today, the Japanese still like to call their home
country the “land of the gods.” The myths and ancient
legends of the gods are still deeply rooted in the
memories of all Japanese people. (A) For example,
everyone learns as a child the stories of the gods
Izanagi and Izanami, and of the wild, tempestuous god
Susanoo.
The origins of Japanese myths lie in Shinto, Japan’s
indigenous religion. Up to 84 percent of Japanese
people live according to the “way of the gods,” the
literal translation of the word Shinto. The sun goddess
Amaterasu is central to Shinto worship. She was a
daughter of the divine mythological pair Izanagi and
Izanami. However, these two not only gave birth to the
sun goddess and her brothers and sisters, they were
also responsible for bringing all other deities and spirits
into being. These spirits, called kami, appear in many
forms. They are, (B) however, not omnipotent like the
Judeo-Christian God, for instance. Instead, they must be
understood as highest beings or powers that are
responsible for bringing good fortune and happiness, as
well as bad luck.
Buddhism, which arrived in Japan in the sixth
century, also influenced Japanese mythology. (C)
Therefore, this new belief system did not replace
Shinto, which was predominant at that time, but instead
blended into it. (D) In this way, the Shinto deities
were simply seen as manifestations of the Buddha and
could be honored by believers of both religions. For
example, the god Hachiman is still worshiped today as
both kami and Buddha, and only very few actually
know from which religion he came. But because most
Japanese people are both Shintoist and Buddhist, this
question is no longer relevant.

The passion which belongs to generation is lust only.
This is evident in brutes, whose passions are more
unmixed, and which pursue their purposes more directly
than ours. The only distinction they observe with
regard to their mates, is that of sex. It is true, that
they stick severally to their own species in preference
to all others. (A) But this preference, I imagine, does
not arise from any sense of beauty which they find in
their species, as Mr. Addison supposes, but from a law
of some other kind, to which they are subject; and this
we may fairly conclude, from their apparent want of
choice among those objects to which the barriers of
their species have confined them. (B) But man, who is
a creature adapted to a greater variety and intricacy of
relation, connects with the general passion the idea of
some social qualities, which direct and heighten the
appetite which he has in common with all other
animals; and as he is not designed like them to live at
large, it is fit that he should have something to create
a preference, and fix his choice; and this in general
should be some sensible quality; as no other can so
quickly, so powerfully, or so surely produce its effect.
(C) I call beauty a social quality; for where women
and men, and not only they, but when other animals
give us a sense of joy and pleasure in beholding them,
(and there are many that do so,) they inspire us with
sentiments of tenderness and affection towards their
persons; we like to have them near us, and we enter
willingly into a kind of relation with them, unless we
should have strong reasons to the contrary. (D) But to
what end, in many cases, this was designed, I am
unable to discover; for I see no greater reason for a
connection between man and several animals who are
attired in so engaging a manner, than between him and
some others who entirely want this attraction, or
possess it in a far weaker degree. But it is probable,
that Providence did not make even this distinction, but
with a view to some great end; though we cannot
perceive distinctly what it is, as his wisdom is not our
wisdom, nor our ways his ways.

The source of the ongoing Ebola epidemic in West
Africa may have been a hollow tree where children
played and bats roosted. In a visit to Meliandou, the
Guinean village where the outbreak apparently started,
researchers learned of the tree and linked it to one of
the outbreak’s first victims. But, in a frustrating twist,
the tree had burned to a stump just before they
arrived, thwarting their search for evidence that might
confirm the scenario.
A year ago, a toddler in Meliandou died of a
mysterious disease; soon, his sister, mother, and
grandmother were infected as well. As far as
epidemiologists can tell, the family members were the
first people to die in West Africa’s Ebola epidemic,
which according to the latest statistics from the World
Health Organization has now sickened more than
20,000 people and killed at least 7,842. But how the
toddler caught the virus has been a puzzle. Before the
current outbreak, there was only a single known human
case of Ebola in West Africa.
Human Ebola outbreaks elsewhere have been linked
to outbreaks in wildlife including duikers (small
antelope), gorillas, and chimpanzees or traced to
hunters who butchered animals found dead in the
forest. No one knows which animals provide the
natural reservoir for Ebola, but bats are leading
suspects. Several types of bats can survive experimental
infection with the virus, and researchers have found
Ebola virus RNA in at least three species of fruit bats.
That made the animals commonly hunted and eaten in
Guinea a top contender as the source of the outbreak.
Soon after the outbreak was identified as Ebola in
March 2014, wildlife epidemiologist Fabian Leendertz
went to southeastern Guinea to look for signs of an
outbreak in wildlife. Leendertz, with three more
German veterinarians and eight Guinean biosurvey
experts, spent 4 weeks in the region, capturing bats
from four sites and surveying two protected forest
areas.
The researchers found no evidence that wild animals
were dying of Ebola, they report in a paper published
online. The populations of chimpanzees, duikers, and
other large mammals were at about the same levels
they had been in the previous surveys in the region,
conducted in 2010 and 2011 “good news for
conservation,” Leendertz says. They also found no
direct evidence of Ebola virus infections in any of the
169 bats (from at least 13 species) that they captured
and tested.

The Aztecs rose to power in central Mexico on the
shores of Lake Texcoco in the fourteenth century C.E.,
(A) founding their capital Tenochtitlán around 1325.
Although historians don’t always agree as to whether
the Aztecs were a true empire, this great city-state
remains one of the most powerful societies of
pre-Columbian (before-Columbus) Mesoamerica.
The Aztecs had an unusual social structure
constructed around calpulli, most similar to clans.
Within each calpulli existed additional layers of social
strata, with the nobility at the top.
. The state ruled over
its citizens and surrounding territories through a system
of tribute rather than direct rule, and also lacked the
kind of wide-scale administrative system (B) seen in
other empires two reasons that many do not consider
the Aztecs to be a true empire. However, this society
shared other empire-like traits: It controlled diverse
populations of people and supported a large military,
(C) centered around a ruler who held both religious
and military power. The Aztecs are commonly known
for their elaborate religious rituals involving human
sacrifice, making them both hated and feared by their
opponents.
The Aztecs eventually fell to the Spanish in 1521. It
is unknown how long the Aztecs would have remained
a power in the area, had the Spanish not come along.
Despite the significant size of the empire, the Aztecs
had significant technological limitations. They lacked a
written language, technology (such as the mill) (D) that
would have enabled them to more efficiently produce
food for a huge population, metal tools such as the
plow, and even domesticated livestock. However, the
cultural legacy of the Aztecs remained: Mexico City
was eventually built over Tenochtitlán, and the Nahuatl
language of the Aztecs is still spoken by many of the
native people of Mexico.

The evolution of intelligence among early large

to the interaction between two ecologically synchronized
groups of these animals, the hunting carnivores and the
herbivores that they hunted. Their interaction resulting
from the differences between (A)________________ led
to a general improvement in brain functions; however,
certain components of intelligence were improved far
more than others. The kind of intelligence favored by
the interplay of increasingly smarter catchers and
increasingly keener escapers is defined by attention
that aspect of mind carrying consciousness forward
from one moment to the next. It ranges from a
passive, free-floating awareness to a highly focused,
active fixation. The range through these states is
mediated by the arousal system, a network of tracts
converging from sensory systems to integrating centers
in the brain stem. From the more relaxed to the more
vigorous levels, sensitivity to novelty is increased. The
organism is more awake, more vigilant; this increased
vigilance results in the apprehension of ever more
subtle signals as the organism becomes more sensitive
to its surrounding.
The processes of arousal and concentration give
attention its direction. Arousal is at first general, with a
flooding of impulses in the brain stem; then gradually
the activation is channeled. Thus begins concentration,
the holding of consistent images. One meaning of
intelligence is the way in which these images and other
