passage and choose the best option A, B, C, or D to answer the questions Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes (15 points) 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 90percent 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 2,000 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 toolmaking: implements flaked with a clockwise motion (indicating a right-handed toolmaker) can be C studies of tool use D fossilized hand bones 10 Which of the following conclusions is suggested by the evidence from cranial morphology? 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's hemispheres was not evident in the skulls of Homo erectus and Homo habilis (https://www.yeuanhvan.com/toefl-reading/1334-toeflreadings-36) Your answers 10 Part Read the text and the following tasks (15 points) ELECTRIC DREAMS A The days of the internal-combustion are numbered,and the fuel cell represents the future of automotive transport, says PETER BREWER.A Some of the world's greatest inventions have been discovery by accident One such accident led to the discovery of the fuel cell and another led to its commercialisation And in around 30 years, when most of the energy analysts have predicted the oil wells will run dry, motorists will be thankful for both these strange twists of fate Why? Simply because without the fuel cell to replace the combustion engine, private motoring as we all know it would be restricted to only those who could afford the high price B The exact date of the discovery of the fuel cell is not known, but historians agree it most likely occurred around 1938 in the laboratories of British physicist Sir William Grove,who one day disconnectedasimple electrolytic cell (in which hydrogen and oxygen are produced when water contacts an electric current running throughaplatinum wire) and reversed the flow of current As author records in his book Powering the Future, Grove realized that just as he could use electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen it should be possible to generate electricity by combining these two gases C The principle behind the fuel cell is simple Hydrogen and oxygen, two of the most common elements in the world,areavery explosive combination But separate them withasophisticated platinum coated barrier and an electro chemical reaction takes place, where positively charged hydrogen ions react with oxygen and leave the hydrogen electrons behind It is this reaction, the excess electrons on one side of the barrier and the deficit of electrons on the other that creates electrical energy D The early development of the fuel cell was fraught with problems and high cost.But by 1954 US giant General Electric had producedaprototype that proved sufficiently effective to interest NASA.The Gemini space programme proved the viability of the fuel cell to provide electrical power The spacecraft used six stacks of cells with three cells in each stack The electrical power output from each stack was quite modest-just one kilowatt and asabyproduct, produced halfalitre of water for each kilowatt hour of operation But the Gemini Cells were very unstable and required constant monitoring E At this time if anyone had suggested to Canadian Scientist Geoffrey Ballard that he would becomeaworld leader in fuel cell technology, he would have laughed Ballard's scientific background was actually geophysics, but during the oil-crisis of 193,the US government asked the Canadian to explore alternative forms of energy Ballard threw himself into the project enthusiastically but soon became disillusioned by the politics of the programme Energy systems takealong time to develop, Ballard said The short-term vision of politicians, who voted to fund such projects in the desire for quick results to bolster their re-election chances,were frustrating for the scientists However, since the US government lacked the vision for the job, he decided to tackle it himself F The big breakthrough on Ballard's fuel cell came by accident in the search for cheaper materials Up until late 1986, Ballard's team had worked with only one type of fuel cell membrane manufactured by DuPont, but Dow Chemical had also developedasimilar membrane, which had not been released for sale Ballard's team tracked down an experimental sample of the Dow material, put it intoafuel cell and set upastandard test.Withinafew minutes the fuel cell was generating so much electricity on the test bench that it had melted through the poweroutput cable G Ballard immediately knew he hadasaleable product The problem was: Should he aim his fuel cell at small markets like military field generators, wheelchairs and golf carts,or try to sell it asafull blown alternative to the combustion engine? "It was so needed and the world was ready for it," Ballard said "Los Angeles is dying; Vancouver is going to be eaten alive by its own pollution very shortly.It seemed likeatime to go for broke "Ballard Power Systems first builtasmall bus to demonstrate the technology,and then an even bigger bus H Asaresultanumber of multinational motor manufacturers, such as General Motors,Mitsubishi and Daimler-Benz all tested Ballard's cells Finally, Daimler formed an alliance with Ballard that has yielded some impressive prototypes, includingafully driveable fuel cellpoweredA-class MercedesBenz compact car,known as Necar Daimler Chlysler, as the merged Daimler-Benz and Chlysler Corporation is now known, says the fuel cell represents the future of automotive transport "The significance of this technological advancement (the fuel cell) is comparable to the impact the microchip had on computer technology when it replaced the transistor, "said Dr Ferdinand Panik, the head of Daimler Chlysler's fuel cell development team Questions 1-7 There are paragraphs numbered A-G in Reading Passage From the list below numbered i-x, choose a suitable heading for the paragraphs There are more headings than paragraphs, so you will not use all the headings List of headings i A conflict of interests Paragraph A ii Science is sometimes a question of luck Paragraph B iii Using the fuel cell in different ways Paragraph C iv How does it work?
