Section I – General English
I. Reading Comprehension :
Some modern anthropologists hold that biological evolution has shaped not only human morphology but also human behavior. The role those anthropologists ascribe to evolution is not of dictating the details of human behavior but one of imposing constraints – ways of feeling, thinking, and acting that ”come naturally” in archetypal situations in any culture. Our ”frailties” – emotions and motives such as rage, fear, greed, gluttony, joy, lust, love-may be a very mixed assortment quality: we are, as we say, ”in the grip” of them. And thus they give us our sense of constraints.
1. The author implies that control to any extent over the ”frailties” that constrain our behavior is thought to presuppose
A. That those frailties and adaptive are recognized as currently beneficial and adaptive
B. That there is little or no overlay of cultural detail that masks their true nature.
C. That there are cultures in which those frailties do not ”come naturally” and from which such control can be learned

A. Evolution does not favor the emergence of adaptive characteristics over the emergence of maladaptive ones
