Part 3: Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each question Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes provided below the passage (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 90 percent 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 27,000 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 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 do 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 Populations of Neanderthals, such as Homo erectus and Homo habilis, seem to have been predominantly right-handed, as we are

1 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

C Many were made by children

D The artists were mostly right-handed

3 The word "depicted" in the first paragraph refers to .

A written B portrayed C referred D mentioned

4 When compared with implements "flaked with a counter-clockwise rotation”, it can

be inferred that "implements flaked with a clockwise motion" are .

A more common B larger

C more sophisticated D older

5 The word "cranial morphology" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to .

A the form of crane B the form of study

C the study of physical bodies D the study of skulls

6 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

7 The word "hemispheres" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _.

A differences B sides C activities D studies

8 Why does the author mention Homo erectus and Habilis in the last paragraph?

A To contrast them with modern humans

B To explain when human ancestors began to make tools

C To show that early humans were also predominantly right-handed

D To prove that the population of Neanderthals was very large
