Although there is a lack of clear evidence, people have come up with various theories about the origins of language One recent theory is that human beings have evolved in (10) _ a way that we are programmed for language from the moment of birth In other words, language came (11) _ as a result of an evolutionary change in our brains at some stage Language (12) _ well be programmed into the brain but, despite this, people still need stimulus from others around them From studies, we know that (13) _ children are isolated (14) _ human contact and have not learnt to construct sentences before they are ten, it is doubtful they will ever (15) This research shows, if nothing else, that language is a social activity, not something invented in isolation Part 3: Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions (1.0 point) Centuries ago, man discovered that removing moisture from food helped to preserve it, and that the easiest way to this was to expose the food to sun and wind In this way the North American Indians produced pemmican (dried meat ground into powder and made into cakes), the Scandinavians made stockfish and the Arabs dried dates and apricots All foods contain water - cabbage and other leaf vegetables contain as much as 93% water, potatoes and other root vegetables 80%, lean meat 75% and fish anything from 80% to 60% depending on how fatty it is If this water is removed, the activity of the bacteria which cause food to go bad is checked Fruit is sun-dried in Asia Minor, Greece, Spain and other Mediterranean countries, and also in California, South Africa and Australia The methods used vary, but in general the fruit is spread out on trays in drying yards in the hot sun In order to prevent darkening, pears, peaches and apricots are exposed to the fumes of burning sulphur before drying Plums for making prunes, and certain varieties of grapes for making raisins and currants, are dipped in an alkaline solution in order to crack the skins of the fruit slightly and remove their wax coating, so increasing the rate of drying Nowadays most foods are dried mechanically; the conventional method of such dehydration is to put food in chambers through which hot air is blown at temperatures of about 110°C at entry to about 45°C at exit This is the usual method for drying such things as vegetables, minced meat, and fish Liquids such as milk, coffee, tea, soups and eggs may be dried by pouring them over a heated horizontal steel cylinder or by spraying them into a chamber through which a current of hot air passes In the first case, the dried material is scraped off the roller as a thin film which is then broken up into small, though still relatively coarse flakes In the second process, it falls to the bottom of the chamber as a fine powder Where recognizable pieces of meat and vegetables are required, as in soup, the ingredients are dried separately and then mixed Page of 11 Dried foods take up less room and weigh less than the same food packed in cans or frozen, and they not need to be stored in special conditions For these reasons, they are invaluable to climbers, explorers and soldiers in battle, who have little storage space They are also popular with housewives because it takes so little time to cook them From Practical Faster Reading by Gerald Mosback and Vivien Mosback CUP 16 What is the main idea of the passage?
