Section B: Essay Direction: Read the essay given below carefully. From the TWO SETS of questions on this

text, choose ONE SET and write your answers in your answer sheet.

Passing on Knowledge as the Key Factor of the Human Races' Survival

According to Charles Darwin, humanity was not created by some higher outer force, but

evolved from lower species. Also, his theory presumes that evolution is an ongoing process;

therefore, not only animals and plants continue to evolve, but so does humanity. And while

human bodies do not seem to transform visibly, the human mind and the way of thinking change

significantly from generation to generation, boosted by developing technologies, the constantly

accelerating pace of life, and the knowledge left from our predecessors.

The choices people make every day define how their lives change. By experience, people learn

to distinguish “right” and “wrong” choices based on the consequences of the decisions they

made. This is how thinking evolves. Anne E. Russon and David R. Begun, in their book The


Evolution of Thought, say that apes are shown to be the closest relatives to the human species

specifically due to a phenomenon that they call a symbolic cognitive process. It “operates on

the basis of mental images rather than direct sensory-motor phenomena.” This means that the

brain thinks, considers, and decides based on visual memory, not on instinctive reaction. People

constantly acquire information, altering the choices they make in a given situation based on

what they have seen and learned. Due to this mechanism, in a case of an emergency, people can

respond and act consciously and reasonably using not only their natural instincts like “fight or

flight” or a previous experience, but also borrowed knowledge and achieved skills, thus

increasing one’s chances to survive. For example, if one sees a car crash, they will call an

ambulance not because nature encumbered them with such a type of reaction to external events,

and not because one had already faced a similar situation, but due to obtained knowledge.

Survival is the main and possibly only reason for evolution of any kind. Survival determines

the necessity of existence of any instinct, as well as any knowledge obtained.

People as well learn to avoid danger or cooperate in extreme situations in order to survive. Due

to the Black Plague in Medieval times, the importance of hygiene was learned by humanity, and

once a method of maintaining hygiene in the streets was established, the plague diminished.

Scientists developed a way to fight tuberculosis, and today doctors vaccinate people, making

them immune to this disease. This way the human body is constantly evolving as well, to better

protect itself. Therefore, not only the way of thinking and acting is important for survival, but

also the physical condition of a human body. To pass all collected knowledge onto future

generations and thus help them survive, people make records of the knowledge they obtained.

The paintings on the walls of the Lascaux cave, scrolls containing records about the movement

of stars, medical books describing how to cut open the human body—everything that the human

race has learned and discovered is recorded and passed on, so that anyone could just pick out a

book and find what they need.

Even now, people are constantly striving for knowledge of the unknown, such as extraterrestrial

life or the world below the sea. The evolution of thoughts runs much faster than the evolution

of the body, since the lust for new knowledge can be explained by a need to prepare for what

may come in the future, to feel more confident in front of the unknown, and thus guarantee

survival.

The aspiration to survive is a powerful factor in the evolution of human species. People pass

on their knowledge and experiences to further generations to help them avoid repeating

certain mistakes; to state briefly, each generation prepares a starting ground for future ones.

While human bodies do not seem to change significantly, and its functions remain relatively

the same, the mind is constantly exposed to various influences and challenges. Transformation

and adaptation are required to face these obstacles. The more developed and advanced the

human race becomes, the more challenges people face, therefore the faster evolutionary

processes go. (source: http://academichelp.net/)

poem, choose ONE SET and write your answers in the spaces provided.

Our Violated Earth [reproduced for academic purpose]

Fast is the pace,

Unrelenting, they deface.

Cares not the human, sinner may he be,

Kills her slowly, and tormented is she.

Not a splinter spared,

An entire world despair

Tranquil calm disturbed, humanity's drum,

Unto mankind the suffering comes.

Crushed within the grasps of men,

United we stand to welcome her end.

Together we rape our motherland,

Dignity lost, she cannot mend.

Oh, she cries but no one hears!

Weak are the humans, deaf are their ears;

Nothing is sacred, not even our birth,

Mother Gaia she weeps, poor mother earth.

On this fair plane we build our malls,

Rest in peace those that we've mauled.

Exchanging theirs for our lives; Men

Remorselessly deny the blood on their hands.

Repent, humanity, repent!

Beautiful earth is heaven sent.

Enough of tearing up the threads;

Son of nature, thy mother be half-dead.
