　　Passage 2

　　Question 11-12 are based on the following passage

　　Some critics believe that the frequent use of repetition in Native American ceremonial texts was a result of their oral nature and helped make the works easy to remember. Native American scholar Paula Gunn Allen argues that this factor must be peripheral, however, because people in societies without writing traditionally have had more finely developed memories than do people who use writing. Native American children learned early to remember complicated instructions and long stories by heart. For a person who couldnt run to a bookshelf to look up information, reliance on memory became very important in everyday life. Such a highly developed everyday memory is not likely to fail on ceremonial occasions.

　　11. The primary purpose of the passage is to

　　refute a claim

　　describe a process

　　analyze a discovery

　　advocate a practice

　　reveal a problem

　　12. In context, what does the final sentence suggest about Native American ceremonial texts?

　　Understanding them requires a highly developed memory.

　　Their inclusion of complicated and detailed material is traditional.
