Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Anthropologists have pieced together the little they know about the history of left-handedness and right-handedness from indirect evidence. Though early men and women did not leave written records, they did leave tools, bones, and pictures. Stone Age hand axes and hatchets were made from stones that were carefully chipped away to form sharp cutting edges. In some, the pattern of chipping shows that these tools and weapons were made by right-handed people, designed to fit comfortably into a right hand. Other Stone Age implements were made by or for left-handers. Prehistoric pictures, painted on the walls of caves, provide further clues to the handedness of ancient people. A right-hander finds it easier to draw faces of people and animals
facing toward the left, whereas a left-hander finds it easier to draw faces facing toward the right. Both kinds of faces have been found in ancient painting. On the whole, the evidence seems to indicate that prehistoric people were either ambidextrous or about equally likely to be left- or right-handed.
But, in the Bronze Age, the picture changed. The tools and weapons found from that period are mostly made for right-handed use. The predominance of right-handedness among humans today had apparently already been established.
Question 36. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The purpose of ancient implements
B. The significance of prehistoric cave paintings
C. The development of right-handedness and left-handedness
D. The similarities between the Stone Age and Bronze Age
Question 37. Which of the following helped lead to conclusions about whether Store Age people preferred one hand to the other?
A. Petrified forms of vegetation B. Patterns of stone chipping
C. Fossilized waste material D. Fossilized footprints
Question 38. In line 7, the word “further” is closest in meaning to which of the following?
A. advanced B. additional C. artistic D. factual
Question 39. According to the passage, a person who is right-handed is more likely to draw people and animals that are facing _______.
A. upward B. downward C. toward the right D. toward the left
Question 40. In line 13, the words “the picture” refer to which of the following?
A. Faces of animals and people B. People's view from inside a cave
C. People's tendency to work with either hand D. The kinds of paint used on cave walls
Question 41. Where in the passage does the author mention a type of evidence that was NOT studied by anthropologists researching the handedness of ancient people?
A. Lines 2-3 B. Lines 6-7 C. Lines 10-11 D. Lines 13-14
Question 42. The author implies that which of the following developments occurred around the time of the Bronze Age?
A. The establishment of written records B. A change in the styles of cave painting
C. An increase in human skill in the handling of tools D. The prevalence of right-handedness
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.
If the salinity of ocean waters is analyzed, it is found to vary only slightly from place to place. Nevertheless, some of these small changes are important. There are three basic processes that cause a change in oceanic salinity. One of these is the subtraction of water from the ocean by means of evaporation---conversion of liquid water to water vapor. In this manner, the salinity is increased, since the salts stay behind. If this is carried to the extreme, of course, white crystals of salt would be left behind; this, by the way, is how much of the table salt we use is actually obtained.
The opposite of evaporation is precipitation, such as rain, by which water is added to the ocean. Here the ocean is being diluted so that the salinity is decreased. This may occur in areas of high rainfall or in coastal regions where rivers flow into the ocean.
Thus salinity may be increased by the subtraction of water by evaporation, or decreased by the addition of fresh water by precipitation or runoff.
Normally, in tropical regions where the Sun is very strong, the ocean salinity is somewhat higher than it is in other parts of the world where there is not as much evaporation. Similarly, in coastal regions where rivers dilute the sea, salinity is somewhat lower than in other oceanic areas.
A third process by which salinity may be altered is associated with the formation and melting of sea ice: When seawater is frozen, the dissolved materials are left behind. In this manner, seawater directly beneath freshly formed sea ice has a higher salinity than it did before the ice appeared. Of course, when this ice melts, it will tend to decrease the salinity of the surrounding water.
In the Weddell Sea, off Antarctica the densest water in the oceans is formed as a result of this freezing process, which increases the salinity of cold water. This heavy water sinks and is found in the deeper portions of the oceans of the world.
Question 43. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The elements of salt B. The bodies of water of the world
C. The many forms of ocean life D. The salinity of ocean water
Question 44. According to the passage, the ocean generally has more salt in _______.
A. coastal areas B. tropical areas C. rainy areas D. turbulent areas
Question 45. All of the following are processes that decrease salinity EXCEPT _______.
A. evaporation B. precipitation C. runoff D. melting
Question 46. Which of the following statements about the salinity of a body of water can best be inferred from the passage?
A. The temperature of the water is the most important factor.
B. How quickly the water moves is directly related to the amount of salt.
C. Ocean salinity has little effect on sea life.
D. Various factors combine to cause variations in the salt content of water.
Question 47. The word “it” in line 18 refers to which of the following?
A. Sea ice B. Salinity C. Seawater D. Manner
Question 48. Why does the author mention the Weddell Sea?
A. To show that this body of water has salinity variations
B. To compare Antarctic waters with Arctic waters
C. To give an example of cold-water salinity
D. To point out the location of deep waters
Question 49. Which of the following is NOT a result of the formation of ocean ice?
A. The salt remains in the water. B. The surrounding water sinks.
C. Water salinity decreases. D. The water becomes denser.
Question 50. What can be inferred about the water near the bottom of oceans?
A. It is relatively warm. B. Its salinity is relatively high.
C. It does not move. D. It is formed by melting sea ice.
