In ancient Egyptian artwork , for example, the right hand is depicted as the dominant one in about 90 percent of the example. 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 all 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 tool making :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 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 right- handed, as we are. 26. 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. 27. The word “other” refer to a. outline b. hand c. wall d. paint 28. 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 artist were mostly right- handed. 29. The word “ implement” is closest in meaning to a. tools b. designs c. examples d. pieces 30. 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 31. The word “clues” is closest in meaning to a. solutions b. details c. damage d. information 32. 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 difference between handedness and scratches on fossil human teeth can be verified. 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. 33. The word “ hemispheres” is closest in meaning to a. differences b. sides c. activities d. studies 34. Why does the author mention Homo erectus and Home habilis? 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. 35. all of the follows are mentioned as types of evidence concerning handedness EXCEPT. a. ancient artwork b. asymmetrical skulls c. studies of tool use d. fossilized hand bone Đọc kỹ đoạn văn sau và chọn phương án đúng ( a hoặc b , c ,d) cho mỗi câu từ 36 đến 45. Archaeological literature is rich in descriptions of pot making. Unlike modern industrial potters, prehistoric artisans created each of their pieces individually, using the simplest technology but demonstrating remarkable skill in making and adorning their vessels. The clay used in prehistoric pot making was invariably selected with the utmost care; often it was traded over considerable distances. The consistency of the clay was crucial ; it was pounded meticulously and mixed with water to make it entirely even texture. By careful kneading, the potter removed the air bubbles and made the clay as plastic as possible, allowing it to be molded into shape as the pot was built up. When a pot is fired, it loses its water and can crack , so the potter added a temper to the clay , a substance that helped reduce shrinkage and cracking. Since surface finishes provided a pleasing appearance and also improved the durability in day-to- day uses, the potter smoothed the exterior sufsce of the pot with wet hands. Often a wet clay solution, known as a lsip , was applied to the smooth surface. Brightly coloered slips were often used and formed painted decorations on the vessel. In later times, glazes came into use in some areas. A glaze is a form of slip that turns to a glasslike finish during high-temperature firing. When a slip was not applied, the vessel was allowed to dry slowly until the external surface was almost like leather in texture. It was then rubbed with a round stone or similar object to give it a shiny, hard surface. Some pots were adorned with incised or stamped decorations. Most early pottery was then fired over open hearths. The vessels were covered with fast-burning wood; as it burned, the ashes would fall around the pots and bake them evenly over a few hours. Far higher temperatures were attained in special ovens, known as kilns, which would not only bake the clay and remove its plasticity, but also dissolve carbons and iron compounds. Kilns were also used for glazing, when two firings were needed. Once fired, the pots were allowed to cool slowly, and small cracks were repaired before they were ready for use. 36. What does the passage mainly discuss? a. Why archaeologist study prehistoric pot making b. How early pottery was made and decorated c. The development of kilns used by early potters d. The variety of decorations on prehistoric pottery 37. The word “meticulously” is closest in meaning to a. heavily b. initially c. carefully d. completely 38. which of the following was a process used by prehistoric potters to improve the texture of the clay? a. adding temper b. removing the water c. beating on the clay d. mixing the clay with plastic substances 39.
