There are two main hypotheses when it comes to explaining the emergence of modern humans The ‘Out of Africa’ theory holds that homo sapiens burst onto the scene as a new species around 150,000 to 200,000 years ago in Africa and subsequently replaced archaic humans such as the Neandertals The other model, known as multi-regional evolution or regional continuity, posits far more ancient and diverse roots for our kind Proponents of this view believe that homo sapiens arose in Africa some million years ago and evolved as a single species spread across the Old World, with populations in different regions linked through genetic and cultural exchange Of these two models, Out of Africa, which was originally developed based on fossil evidence, and supported by much genetic research, has been favoured by the majority of evolution scholars The vast majority of these genetic studies have focused on DNA from living populations, and although some small progress has been made in recovering DNA from Neandertal that appears to support multi-regionalism, the chance of recovering nuclear DNA from early human fossils is quite slim at present Fossils thus remain very much a part of the human origins debate Another means of gathering theoretical evidence is through bones Examinations of early modern human skulls from Central Europe and Australia dated to between 20,000 and 30,000 years old have suggested that both groups apparently exhibit traits seen in their Middle Eastern and African predecessors But the early modern specimens from Central Europe also display Neandertal traits, and the early modern Australians showed affinities to archaic Homo from Indonesia Meanwhile, the debate among paleoanthropologists continues , as supporters of the two hypotheses challenge the evidence and conclusions of each other Question 39: All of the following are true except A the multi-regional model goes back further in history B the Out of Africa model has had more support from scholars C three methods of gathering evidence are mentioned in the passage D DNA studies offer one of the best ways in future to provide clear evidence Question 40: It can be inferred from the passage that A there is little likelihood that the debate will die down B the debate will interest historians to take part in C there is likely to be an end to the debate in the near future D the debate is likely to be less important in future Question 41: The word “emergence” in line is closest in meaning to A appearance B complexity C decline D development Question 42: The word “proponents” in line is closet in meaning to A inspectors B historians C advocates D experts Question 43: Which of the following is NOT true A both hypotheses focus on Africa as a location for the new species B early modern human skulls all support the same conclusions C early modern Australian skulls have similarities to those from Indonesia D the vast majority of genetic studies have focused on living populations Question 44: Which of the following is NOT true about the two hypotheses A Both hypotheses regard Neandertals to be the predecessors of modern humans B Both hypotheses cite Africa as an originating location C Genetic studies have supported both hypotheses D One hypothesis dates the emergence of homo sapiens much earlier than the other Question 45: The passage primarily discusses which of the following A That fossils remain very much a part of the human origins debate B Evidence that supports the “Out of Africa” theory C The difficulties in obtaining agreement among theorists on the human origins debate D Two hypotheses and some evidence on the human origins debate Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the underlined part that needs correction in each of the following

explaining the emergence of modern humans The ‘Out of Africa’ theory holds that homo sapiens burst onto the scene as a new species around 150,000 to 200,000 years ago in Africa and subsequently replaced archaic humans such as the Neandertals The other model, known as multi-regional evolution or regional continuity, posits far more ancient and diverse roots for our kind Proponents of this view believe that homo sapiens arose in Africa some million years ago and evolved as a single species spread across the Old World, with populations in different regions linked through genetic and cultural exchange Of these two models, Out of Africa, which was originally developed based on fossil evidence, and supported by much genetic research, has been favoured by the majority of evolution scholars The vast majority of these genetic studies have focused on DNA from living populations, and although some small progress has been made in recovering DNA from Neandertal that appears to support multi-regionalism, the chance of recovering nuclear DNA from early human fossils is quite slim at present Fossils thus remain very much a part of the human origins debate Another means of gathering theoretical evidence is through bones Examinations of early modern human skulls from Central Europe and Australia dated to between 20,000 and 30,000 years old have suggested that both groups apparently exhibit traits seen in their Middle Eastern and African predecessors But the early modern specimens from Central Europe also display Neandertal traits, and the early modern Australians showed affinities to archaic Homo from Indonesia Meanwhile, the debate among paleoanthropologists continues , as supporters of the two hypotheses challenge the evidence and conclusions of each other Question 18: The passage primarily discusses which of the following A The difficulties in obtaining agreement among theorists on the human origins debate B Two hypotheses and some evidence on the human origins debate C That fossils remain very much a part of the human origins debate D Evidence that supports the “Out of Africa” theory Question 19: Which of the following is NOT true A the vast majority of genetic studies have focused on living populations B both hypotheses focus on Africa as a location for the new species C early modern Australian skulls have similarities to those from Indonesia D early modern human skulls all support the same conclusions Question 20: Which of the following is NOT true about the two hypotheses A Both hypotheses regard Neandertals to be the predecessors of modern humans B Genetic studies have supported both hypotheses C One hypothesis dates the emergence of homo sapiens much earlier than the other D Both hypotheses cite Africa as an originating location Question 21: The word “emergence” in line is closest in meaning to A appearance B decline C complexity D development Question 22: All of the following are true except A the multi-regional model goes back further in history B three methods of gathering evidence are mentioned in the passage C the Out of Africa model has had more support from scholars D DNA studies offer one of the best ways in future to provide clear evidence Question 23: The word “proponents” in line is closet in meaning to A historians B inspectors C experts D advocates Question 24: It can be inferred from the passage that A the debate will interest historians to take part in B there is likely to be an end to the debate in the near future C the debate is likely to be less important in future D there is little likelihood that the debate will die down 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

one of a small number of women in her generation to graduate from college Her commitment to improving the lives of those around her led her to work for social reform and world peace In the 1880s, Jane Addams travelled to Europe While she was in London, she visited a ‘settlement house’ called Toynbee Hall Inspired by Toynbee Hall, Addams and her friend, Ellen Gates Starr, opened Hull House in a neighbourhood of slums in Chiacago in 1899 Hull House provided a day care centre for children of working mothers, a community kitchen, and visiting nurses Addams and her staff gave classes in English literacy, art, and other subjects Hull House also became a meeting place for clubs and labour unions Most of the people who worked with Addams in Hull House were well educated, middle-class women Hull House gave them an opportunity to use their education and it provided a training ground for careers in social work Before World War I, Addams was probably the most beloved woman in America In a newspaper poll that asked, “Who among our contemporaries are of the most value to the community?” Jane Addams was rated second, after Thomas Edison When she opposed America’s involvement in World War I, however, newspaper editors called her a traitor and a fool, but she never changed her mind Jane Addams was a strong champion of several other causes Until 1920, American women could not vote Addams joined in the movement for women’s suffrage and was a vice president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association She was a founding member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), and was president of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom Her reputation was gradually restored during the last years of her life She died of cancer in 1935

answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 37 to 43 There are two main hypotheses when it comes to explaining the emergence of modern humans The ‘Out of Africa’ theory holds that homo sapiens burst onto the scene as a new species around 150,000 to 200,000 years ago in Africa and subsequently replaced archaic humans such as the Neandertals The other model, known as multi-regional evolution or regional continuity, posits far more ancient and diverse roots for our kind Proponents of this view believe that homo sapiens arose in Africa some million years ago and evolved as a single species spread across the Old World, with populations in different regions linked through genetic and cultural exchange Of these two models, Out of Africa, which was originally developed based on fossil evidence, and supported by much genetic research, has been favoured by the majority of evolution scholars The vast majority of these genetic studies have focused on DNA from living populations, and although some small progress has been made in recovering DNA from Neandertal that appears to support multi-regionalism, the chance of recovering nuclear DNA from early human fossils is quite slim at present Fossils thus remain very much a part of the human origins debate Another means of gathering theoretical evidence is through bones Examinations of early modern human skulls from Central Europe and Australia dated to between 20,000 and 30,000 years old have suggested that both groups apparently exhibit traits seen in their Middle Eastern and African predecessors But the early modern specimens from Central Europe also display Neandertal traits, and the early modern Australians showed affinities to archaic Homo from Indonesia Meanwhile, the debate among paleoanthropologists continues , as supporters of the two hypotheses challenge the evidence and conclusions of each other Question 37: The passage primarily discusses which of the following A The difficulties in obtaining agreement among theorists on the human origins debate B Two hypotheses and some evidence on the human origins debate C That fossils remain very much a part of the human origins debate D Evidence that supports the “Out of Africa” theory Question 38: The word “emergence” in line is closest in meaning to A appearance B decline C complexity D development Question 39: Which of the following is NOT true about the two hypotheses A Both hypotheses regard Neandertals to be the predecessors of modern humans B Genetic studies have supported both hypotheses C One hypothesis dates the emergence of homo sapiens much earlier than the other D Both hypotheses cite Africa as an originating location Question 40: Which of the following is NOT true A the vast majority of genetic studies have focused on living populations B both hypotheses focus on Africa as a location for the new species C early modern Australian skulls have similarities to those from Indonesia D early modern human skulls all support the same conclusions Question 41: It can be inferred from the passage that A there is likely to be an end to the debate in the near future B there is little likelihood that the debate will die down C the debate will interest historians to take part in D the debate is likely to be less important in future Question 42: The word “proponents” in line is
