Tiếng Anh 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 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 righthanded, as we are 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 The word "other" in the first paragraph refers to A outline B hand C wall D paint 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 The word "implements" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to A tools B designs C examples D pieces When compared with implements "flaked with a counter-clockwise rotation", it can be inferred that "implements flaked with a clock-wise motion" are A more common B larger C more sophisticated D older The word "clues" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to A solutions B details C damage D information 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 The word "hemispheres" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to A differences B sides C activities D studies All of the follows are mentioned as types of evidence concerning handedness EXCEPT A ancient artwork B asymmetrical skulls Trang 7/10 - Tiếng Anh 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 hemispheres was not evident in the skill of Home erectus and Home Habilis Write your answers here: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 _ IX Fill in each numbered blank with ONE suitable word Write your answers in the space provided (2 points) Electromagnetic Fields The largest land mammal alive today is the elephant Today, there are two kinds of elephants the African elephant and the Indian elephant (1) , this has not always been the case Until about 10,000 years ago, there was another group, the mammoths, which unfortunately are now (2) Mammoths, which lived in the intense cold of northern Russia and North America, looked very similar to modern elephants A difference, of course, is that adult mammoths had a double layer of long hair (3) their whole bodies Some scientists point a (4) at humans as the factor responsible for the extinction of the mammoths - supposedly (5) mammoth bones have been found in places where humans lived However, thanks to recent evidence, many researchers now believe changes in weather is a (6) accurate explanation for the extinction of mammoths The climate changed, and with it, the types of plants (7) changed This in (8) affected the mammoths, which now had trouble finding food The changes in climate probably took place quite suddenly, and in fact, whole mammoths have been found perfectly (9) in the ice Because mammoths and modern elephants are somewhat similar, some scientists think it might be possible to bring (10) the animals by mixing DNA taken from frozen mammoths with that of an elephant Write your answers here: _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 _ _ SECTION WRITING (4 points) Trang 8/10 - Tiếng Anh X Finish the second sentence in each pair in such a way that it means the same as the sentence before it He worked very hard, but he was unable to earn enough for his living Hard-working _ The day was unbearably hot until the sun went down Only It’s a widespread assumption that George was wrongly accused George _ We would not be able to prepare the show without the money from our sponsors Were it _ Robert warned his wife pretty strongly, yet she refused to listen to his advice No matter XI Complete the second sentence, using the word given in bold Do not change the word given You must use between two and five words, including the word given I think he’s at last beginning to agree with me ROUND I suppose _ When he won the scholarship, Alan began to realize just how lucky he was DAWN When he won the scholarship, it began Do you have any idea about how Jack made enough money to buy that new sports car?
