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 30 to 34.

The human body seems to have been designed for producing language The mouth is relatively small and can be opened and closed rapidly, and the flexible tongue can be used to shape a wide variety

of sounds The teeth are upright, not slanting outwards like those of apes, and they are roughly even in height Such characteristics are not needed for eating but are extremely helpful in pronouncing sounds such asl v and th The lips have much more intricate muscles than those of other primates, and their flexibility helps with sounds like p, b andw.

Many scholars have studied how the development of language is related to the evolutionary development of the human species One evolutionary step may have resulted in the development of a

vocal tract capable of producing the wide variety of sounds utilized by human language The assumption of an upright posture moved the head forward and the larynx, or "voice box," lower This created a longer cavity above the vocal cords, which acted as a resonator for any sounds produced by the larynx.

Another evolutionary step may have been development of a mechanism for perceiving and distinguishing sounds However, the ability to hear speech sounds is not a necessary condition for the acquisition and use of language Humans who are born deaf learn the sign languages that are used around them Still, all languages, including sign language, require the organizing and combining of sounds or signs in specific constructions.

The human brain has specialized functions in each of its two hemispheres Those functions which are analyic, such as tool-using and language, are largely confi+ed to the left hemisphere of the brain It may be that there is an evolutionary connection between the tool-using and language- using abirities of humans, and that o*n

Work Australia offers 18-25 year olds with more time to spare the opporfunity to work and travel

"down under" for up to i2 months There are several deparlures from London or Los Angeles throughout August, September and October so it's an ideal programme for gap-year students or those who have just graduated You can even link it to one of the North American programmes to get the most out of the

experience.
