Directions for Qs 181-185
Read the following passage and answer the questions below
Human being is a singular creature. He has a set of gifts which make him unique among the animals: so that, unlike them, he is not figure in the landscape – he is a shaper of the landscape. In body and in mind he is the explorer of nature, the ubiquitous animal, who did not find but has made his home in every continent.
It is reported that when the Spaniards arrived overland at the Pacific Ocean in 1769 the California Indians used to say that all full moon the fish came and danced on these batches. And it is true that there is a local variety of fish, the grunion that comes up out of the water and lays its eggs above the normal high-tide mark. The females bury themselves tail first in the sand and the males gyrate round them and fertilize the eggs as they are being laid. The full moon is important, because it gives the time needed for the eggs to incubate undisturbed in the sand, nine or ten days, between these very high tides and the next ones that will wash the hatched fish out to seed again.
So millions of years of evolution have shaped the grunion to fit and sit exactly with the tides. But nature – that is, biological evolution – has not fitted man to any specific environment. On the contrary, by comparison with the grunion he has a rather crude survival kit; and yet- this is the paradox of the human condition – one that fits him to all environments. Among the multitude of animals which scamper, fly, burrow, and swim around us, human being is the only one who is not locked into his environment. His imagination, his reason, his emotional subtlety and toughness, make it possible for him not to accept the environment but to change it. And that series of inventions, by which man from age to age has remade his environment, is a different kind of evolution – not biological, but cultural evolution. I call that brilliant sequence of cultural peaks the ascent of Man.
Of course, it is tempting to a scientist – to hope that the most original achievement of the mind are also the most recent. And we do indeed have cause to be proud of some modern work. Think of the unraveling of the code of heredity in the DNA spiral; or the work going forward on the special faculties of the human brain. Think of the philosophic insight that saw into the theory of relativity or the minute behavior of matter on the atomic scale.
Yet to admire only our own successes, as if they had no past (and were of the future)Would make a caricature of knowledge. For human achievement, and science in particular, is not a museum of finished constructions. It is a progress, in which the first experiments of the alchemists also have a formative place, and the sophisticated arithmetic that the Mayan astronomers of Central America invented for themselves independently of the Old World. The stone work of Machu Picchu in the Andes and the geometry of the Alhambra in Moorish Spain seem to us, five centuries later, exquisite works of decorative art. But if we stop our appreciation there, we miss the originality of the two cultures that made them. Within their time, they are constructions as arresting and important for their peoples as the architectures of DNA for us.
181. The writer’s view that man did not find but his made his home means that
other animals has no choice but to live wherever they got protection.
man’s dominance of nature was so complete that he could decide where to build his home.
man has learnt to co-exist with other animals.
all of the above
182. The writer cites the example of the grunion’s reproduction method to stress that
the natural law of reproduction of species is at work everywhere.
evolution helps every species adapt itself to fit into its environment.
the law of survival of the fittest operates even at the lowest level.
evolution took the first steps on the beaches of the world.
183. According to the author, the paradox of man’s condition is that
his crude survival kit has not helped man to fit into some kind of environment.
with his crude survival kit, man has developed capacity to fit into all type of environment.
Man cannot scamper, fly or burrow, yet he has locked himself into his Environment.
all of the above.
184. Why do we hope that the most original achievement of the mind are also the most recent ?
We are too prejudiced to admit the past achievement of our forefathers.
We believe that the earlier inventions were too primitive to be of any use to be of any use to us.
We do not realize that progress is a matter of continuity, so we view every past achievement in isolation from our own.
We regard progress as mere change.
185. Man does not accept the environment but becomes the shaper of the landscape of:
his love for exploration
his ability to plan, imagine, and put different talents together.
the genetic change that he introduced in his own species.
all of the above
