least of which is the very large brain it contains. A second unusual feature is our strangely flattened face with its prominent, down-turned nose. Apes and monkeys have faces that protrude forwards as a muzzle and have “squashed” noses on top of this muzzle. There are many mysteries about human evolution, and the reason for our unusually shaped nose is one of them. Another mystery is our nakedness, or rather apparent nakedness. Unlike the apes, we are not covered by a coat of thick hair. Human body hair is very plentiful, but it is extremely fine and short so that, for all practical purposes, we are naked. Very probably this has something to do with the second interesting feature of our body; the skin is richly covered with millions of microscopic sweat glands. The human ability to sweat is unmatched in the primate world.
So much for our appearance: what about our behaviour? Our forelimbs, being freed from helping us to get about, possess a very high degree of manipulative skill. Part of this skill lies in the anatomical structure of the hands, but the crucial element is, of course, the power of the brain. No matter how suitable the limbs are for detailed manipulation, they are useless in the absence of finely tuned instructions delivered through nerve fibres. The most obvious product of our hands and brains is technology. No other animal manipulates the world in the extensive and arbitrary way that humans do. The termites are capable of constructing intricately structured mounds which create their own “air-conditioned” environment inside. But the termites cannot choose to build a cathedral instead. Humans unique because they have the capacity to choose what they do. 21. According to the author, biologists see us as_________.

Passage 6
It is a curious phenomenon of nature that only two species practice the art of war---men and ants, both of which, significantly, maintain complex social organizations. This does not mean that only men and ants engage in the murder of their own kind. Many animals of the same species kill

each other, but only men and ants have practiced the science of organized destruction, employing their massed numbers in violent combat and relying on strategy and tactics to meet developing situations or to take advantage of the weaknesses in the strategy and tactics of the other side. The longest continuous war ever fought between men lasted thirty years. The longest ant war ever recorded lasted six-and-a-half weeks, or whatever the corresponding units would be in ant reckoning.
While all entomologists are agreed that war is instinctive with ants, it is encouraging to note that not all anthropologists and biologists are agreed that war is instinctive with men. Those who lean on experience, of course, find everything in man’s history to indicate that war is locked up within his nature. But a broader and more generous, certainly more philosophical view is held by those scientists who claim that the evidence of a war instinct in men is incomplete and misleading, and that man does have within him the power of abolishing war. Julian Huxley, the English biologist, draws a sharp distinction between human nature and the expression of human nature. Thus war is not a reflection but an expression of man's nature. Moreover, the expression may change, as the factors which lead to war may change. “In man, as in ants, war in any serious sense is bound up with the existence of accumulations of property to fight about .... As for human nature, it contains no specific war instinct, as does the nature of harvester ants. There is in man’s makeup a general aggressive tendency, but this, like all other human urges, is not a specific and unvarying instinct; it can be molded into the most varied forms.”
But even if this gives us a reassuring answer to the question---is war inevitable because of man’s nature? ---it still leaves answered the question concerning the causes leading up to war. The expression of man's nature will continue to be warlike if the same conditions are continued that have provoked warlike expressions in him in the past. And since man's survival on earth is now absolutely dependent on his ability to avoid a new war, he is faced with the so-far insoluble problem of eliminating those causes.
26. The scientists who argue against the evidence of a war instinct in men also think that ______.
A) war is only a reflection of human nature B) man doesn’t have a general aggressive tendency C) war reflects man’s strong needs
D) man has the internal power of getting rid of war
27. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A) There are different factors which may lead to war.
B) War has been rooted in and will develop with human history. C) Both men and ants maintain complex social organizations. D) Only men and ants have developed and practiced the art of war. 28. According to the passage, the author is most likely to agree that______. A) the idea of man's war instinct results from its history B) war is not instinctive with ants or with men C) war is the reflection of man's nature
D) the idea of a war instinct in man doesn't have sound basis 29. According to the passage, Julian Huxley's theory suggests that_____.
A) war is inevitable because man has a war instinct in him
