Section Three: Reading Comprehension
Questions 1-10
One area of paleoanthropological study involves the eating and dietary habits of hominids, erect bipedal primates—including early humans It is clear that at some stage of history, humans began
to carry their food to central places, called home bases, where it
Line was shared and consumed with the young and other adults The use of home bases is a
(5) fundamental component of human social behavior; the common meal served at a common hearth is a
powerful symbol, a mark of social unity Home base behavior does not occur among nonhuman primates and is rare among mammals It is unclear when humans began to use home bases, what kind of communications and social relations were involved, and what the ecological and food-choice
Trang 9contexts of the shift were Work on early tools,
(10) surveys of paleoanthropological sites, development and testing of broad ecological
theories, and advances in comparative primatology are contributing to knowledge about this central chapter in human prehistory
One innovative approach to these issues involves studying damage and wear on stone tools Researchers make tools that replicate excavated specimens as closely as possible
(15) and then try to use them as the originals might have been used, in woodcutting, hunting, or
cultivation Depending on how the tool is used, characteristic chippage patterns and microscopically distinguishable polishes develop near the edges The first application of this method of analysis to stone tools that are 1.5 million to 2 million years old indicates that, from the start, an important function of early stone tools was to extract highly
(20) nutritious food—meat and marrow-from large animal carcasses Fossil bones with cut marks caused
by stone tools have been discovered lying in the same 2-million-year-old layers that yielded the oldest such tools and the oldest hominid specimens (including humans) with larger than ape-sized brains This discovery increases scientists' certainty about when human ancestors began to eat more meat than present-day nonhuman
(25) primates But several questions remain unanswered: how frequently meat eating occurred; what the
social implications of meat eating were; and whether the increased use of meat coincides with the beginnings of the use of home bases
1 The passage mainly discusses which of
the following aspects of hominid
behavior?
(A) Changes in eating and dietary
practices (B) The creation of stone hunting
tools

dietary habits
3 The word "consumed" in line 4 is closest
in meaning to
(A) prepared

(D) learn how to improve the design of modern tools

bones (B) indications of wear on stone tools
9 The word "extract" in line 19 is closest in meaning to
(A) identify (B) remove (C) destroy (D) compare
10 The word "whether" in line 26 is closest
in meaning to (A) if (B) how (C) why (D) when Questions 11-20
In seventeenth-century colonial North America, all day-to-day cooking was done in the fireplace Generally large, fireplaces were planned for cooking as well as for warmth Those in the Northeast were usually four or five feet high, and in the South, they were
Line often high enough for a person to walk into A heavy timber called the mantel tree was
(5) used as a lintel to support the stonework above the fireplace opening This timber might be
scorched occasionally, but it was far enough in front of the rising column of heat to be safe from catching fire
Two ledges were built across from each other on the inside of the chimney On these rested the ends of a "lug pole" from which pots were suspended when cooking Wood
(10) from a freshly cut tree was used for the lug pole, so it would resist heat, but it had to be
replaced frequently because it dried out and charred, and was thus weakened Sometimes the pole broke and the dinner fell into the fire When iron became easier to obtain, it was used instead of wood for lug poles, and later fireplaces had pivoting metal rods to hang pots from
(15) Beside the fireplace and built as part of it was the oven It was made like a small,
secondary fireplace with a flue leading into the main chimney to draw out smoke Sometimes the door of the oven faced the room, but most ovens were built with the opening facing into the fireplace On baking days (usually once or twice a week) a roaring fire of "oven wood,"
consisting of brown maple sticks, was maintained in the oven until its
(20) walls were extremely hot The embers were later removed, bread dough was put into the oven,
and the oven was sealed shut until the bread was fully baked
Not ai! baking was done in a big oven, however Also used was an iron "bake kettle," which looked like a stewpot on legs and which had an iron lid This is said to have worked well when
it was placed in the fireplace, surrounded by glowing wood embers, with more
(25) embers piled on its lid.
