Archaeological records-paintings, drawings and carvings of humans engaged in activities involving the use of hands-indicate that humans have been predominantly right-handed for more than 5,000 years. In ancient Egyptian artwork, for example, the right hand is depicted as the dominant one in about 90 percent of the examples. Fracture or wear patterns on tools also indicate that a majority of ancient people were right-handed. Cro-Magnon cave paintings some 27,000 years old commonly show outlines of human hands made by placing one hand against the cave wall and applying paint with the other. Children today make similar outlines of their hands with crayons on paper. With few exceptions, left hands of Cro-Magnons are displayed on cave walls, indicating that the paintings were usually done by right-handers.

Anthropological evidence pushes the record of handedness in early human ancestors back to at least 1.4 million years ago. One important line of evidence comes from flaking patterns of stone cores used in tool making: implements flaked with a clockwise motion (indicating a right-handed toolmaker) can be distinguished from those flaked with a counter-clockwise rotation (indicating a left-handed toolmaker).

Even scratches found on fossil human teeth offer clues. Ancient humans are thought to have cut meat into strips by holding it between their teeth and slicing it with stone knives, as do the present-day Inuit. Occasionally the knives slip and leave scratches on the users' teeth. Scratches made with a left-to-right stroke direction (by right-handers) are more common than scratches in the opposite direction (made by left-handers).

Still other evidence comes from cranial morphology: scientists think that physical differences between the right and left sides of the interior of the skull indicate subtle physical differences between the two sides of the brain. The variation between the hemispheres corresponds to which side of the body is used to perform specific activities. Such studies, as well as studies of tool use, indicate that right- or left-sided dominance is not exclusive to modern Homo sapiens. Population of Neanderthals, such as Homo erectus and Homo habilis, seem to have been predominantly right-handed, as we are.

1. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Human ancestors became predominantly right-handed when they began to use tools.

B. It is difficult to interpret the significance of anthropological evidence concerning tool use.

C. Humans and their ancestors have been predominantly right-handed for over a million years.

D. Human ancestors were more skilled at using both hands than modern humans.

2. The word other in the first paragraph refers to _____________.

3. What does the author say about Cro-Magnon paintings of hands?

A. Some are not very old.

B. It is unusual to see such paintings.

C. Many were made by children.

D. The artists were mostly right-handed.

4. The word implements in the second paragraph is CLOSEST in meaning to _____________.

A. tools

B. designs

5. When compared with implements "flaked with a counter-clockwise rotation" (line 13), it can be inferred that "implements flaked with a clock-wise motion" (line 12) are _____________.

A. more common

B. larger

C. more sophisticated

D. older

6. The fact that the Inuit cut meat by holding it between their teeth is significant because _____________.

A. the relationship between handedness and scratches on fossil human teeth can be verified

B. it emphasizes the differences between contemporary humans and their ancestors

C. the scratch patterns produced by stone knives vary significantly from patterns produced by modern knives

D. it demonstrates that ancient humans were not skilled at using tools

A. differences

B. sides

C. activities

8. Why does the author mention Homo erectus and Home habilis in line 25?

A. To contrast them with modern humans

B. To explain when human ancestors began to make tools

C. To show that early humans were also predominantly right handed

D. To prove that the population of Neanderthals was very large

9. All of the follows are mentioned as types of evidence concerning handedness EXCEPT_____________.

A. ancient artwork

B. asymmetrical skulls

C. studies of tool use

D. fossilized hand bones

10. Which of the following conclusions is suggested by the evidence from cranial morphology (line 20)?

A. Differences in the hemispheres of the brain probably came about relatively recently.

B. There may be a link between handedness and differences in the brain's hemispheres

C. Left-handedness was somewhat more common among Neanderthals

D. Variation between the brain hemispheres was not evident in the skill of Home erectus and Home Habilis

PART 4: Read the text below and do the task. Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes. (15 points)

Where have all our birds gone?

People have been listening to skylarks singing to Britain for 10, 000 years. But now they, and many other much-loved species, are vanishing fast. David Adam finds out why.

A family of Starlings has chosen a post box for the third year running in an Essex seaside town to raise their young brood.

A. The B1042 that winds from the Bedfordshire town of Sandy towards the village of Potton is a difficult road to cross. Fast and twisty, there re several blind bends where pedestrians must take their lives into their hands. That is trickier than it sounds, for most pedestrians who cross the B1042 already have a pair of binoculars in their hands.

The road separates the grand headquarters of the RSPB. home to hundreds of birdwatchers, from some unkempt fields, home to hundreds of watchable birds-hence the regular skips across the tarmac.

The skips, though, are now less regular for many RSPB staff, for the star attraction of the neighboring fields has flown. Until a year ago, a clutch of woodlark rested there, one of Britain’s rarest birds with just 1, 000 or so thought to remain. Then their home was ploughed up and replaced with a giant field of swaying hemp plants. The wood-lark have not been seen since.

B. It is not just the professional birdwatchers of the RSPB who have seen their local landscape transformed. Across Britain, and with little fanfare, the face of the countryside has subtly changed in recent years. Farm fields that stood idle for years under EU schemes to prevent overproduction, such as the one across the road from the RSPB, have been conscripted back into active service. The uncultivated land, previously a haven for wildlife, has been ploughed, and farmers have planted crops such as wheat and barley, with occasional hemp for use in paper and textiles.

C. As a result, the amount of land available for birds such as the woodlark has halved in the last two years. Without efforts to stem this loss of habitat, conservation experts warn that the countryside of the future could look and sound very different. Starved of insects in the spring and seeds through the winter, the metallic-sounding com bunting and plump grey partridge, formerly one of the most common birds on UK shores, are on the brink. And the skylark, whose twittering has provided the soundtrack to millions of countryside walks and inspired Percy Bysshe Shelly, an Ode to a Skylark, to praise its “profuse strains of unpremeditated art”, is struggling and could soon vanish from many areas. Numbers fell 53% from 1970 to 2006. “This is not just about birdwatchers. These birds are part of our common heritage,” says Gareth Morgan, head of agriculture policy at the RSPB.

D. Government figures show that population of 19 bird species that rely on farmland have halved since serious counting started in 1970s – a decline conservationists blame on intensive farming methods, with insecticide and herbicide sprayed on to monoculture fields show of vibrant hedges. The unmistakable yellowhammer, which likes to sing while perched as a dash of colour on hedges and bushes. And a startling 80% drop across England in 40 years has diluted the shifting Rorschach blots painted on the dusk sky by massed flocks of startling-though urban changes are blamed for this too.

E. Farmland birds may sound a niche problem, and you may think that the rest of the countryside is doing OK, but for most people, farmland is the British countryside. About 75% of Britain is farmed, and about half of that is arable field. Take a train between two UK towns, particularly in eastern countries, and almost all of the countryside you see in farmland.

F. As Simon Gillings of the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) puts it: “For most people, farmland is the countryside and farmland birds are the birds they see.” If birds are struggling, then it is a fair bet that other wildlife is too. “Birds are indicative of other things,” Gillings says. “If birds are declining then what does that say about the plants and insects they rely on? It’s all linked together.”
