1 An endangered species is a population of an organism who is at risk of becoming
2 extinct because it is both few in numbers, or threatened by changed environment
3 or predation parameters. An endangered species is usually a taxonomic species,
4 though may be another evolutionary significant unit. The World Conservation
5 Union was calculated the percentage of endangered species as 40 percent of all
6 organisms based at the sample of species that have been evaluating through 2006.
7 Many nations have laws offering protection to this species: for example,
8 forbidding hunting, restricting land development or creating preserves. Only a
9 little of the many species at risk of extinct actually make it to the lists and obtain
10 legal protection. Much more species become extinct, or potentially will become
11 extinct, without gaining public notice.

(10pts)
Line
1 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
5 patterns on tools also indicate that a majority of ancient people were right-handed.
Cro-Magnon cave paintings some 27,000years 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
10 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
15 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)
20 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.
25 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.
D. Human ancestors were more skilled at using both hands than modern humans.
2. 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 artists were mostly right-handed.
3. The word “depicted” 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” is closest in meaning to ______.
A. the form of crane B. the form of the body
C. the study of physical body D. the study of the skull
6. The fact that the Inuit cut meat by holding it between their teeth is significant because _____.
6
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” is closest in meaning to ______.
A. differences B. sides C. activities D. studies
8. Why does the author mention Homo erectus and Habilis in line 26-27?
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
9. All of the following are mentioned as types of evidence concerning handedness EXCEPT____.
A. ancient artwork B. asymmetrical skulls
C. studies of tool use D. fossilized hand bones
10. Which of the following conclusion is suggested by the evidence from cranial morphology?
A. Differences in the hemispheres of the brain probably came about relatively recently.
B. There may be a link between handedness and differences in the brain’s hemisphere.
C. Left-handedness was somewhat more common among Neanderthals.
D. Variation between the brain’s hemispheres was not evident in the skulls of Homo
erectus and Homo habilis.

PAPER RECYCLING
A. Paper is different from other waste produce because it comes from a sustainable resource:
trees. Unlike the minerals and oil used to make plastics and metals, trees are replaceable. Paper is
also biodegradable, so it does not pose as much threat to the environment when it is discarded.
While 45 out of every 100 tones of wood fibre used to make paper in Australia comes from waste
paper, the rest comes directly from virgin fibre from forests and plantations. By world standards
this is a good performance since the world-wide average is 33 per cent waste paper. Governments
have encouraged waste paper collection and sorting schemes and at the same time, the paper
industry has responded by developing new recycling technologies that have paved the way for
even greater utilization of used fibre. As a result, industry’s use of recycled fibres is expected to
increase at twice the rate of virgin fibre over the coming years.
B. Already, waste paper constitutes 70% of paper used for packaging and advances in the
technology required to remove ink from the paper have allowed a higher recycled content in
newsprint and writing paper. To achieve the benefits of recycling, the community must also
contribute. We need to accept a change in the quality of paper products; for example stationery
may be less white and of a rougher texture. There also needs to be support from the community for
waste paper collection programs. Not only do we need to make the paper available to collectors
but it also needs to be separated into different types and sorted from contaminants such as staples,
paperclips, string and other miscellaneous items.
C. There are technical limitations to the amount of paper which can be recycled and some paper
products cannot be collected for re-use. These include paper in the form of books and permanent
records, photographic paper and paper which is badly contaminated. The four most common
sources of paper for recycling are factories and retail stores which gather large amounts of
packaging material in which goods are delivered, also offices which have unwanted business
documents and computer output, paper converters and printers and lastly households which discard
7
newspapers and packaging material. The paper manufacturer pays a price for the paper and may
also incur the collection cost.
D. Once collected, the paper has to be sorted by hand by people trained to recognize various types
of paper. This is necessary because some types of paper can only be made from particular kinds of
recycled fibre. The sorted paper then has to be repulped or mixed with water and broken down into
its individual fibres. This mixture is called stock and may contain a wide variety of contaminating
materials, particularly if it is made from mixed waste paper which has had little sorting. Various
machineries are used to remove other materials from the stock. After passing through the repulping
process, the fibres from printed waste paper are grey in colour because the printing ink has soaked
into the individual fibres. This recycled material can only be used in products where the grey
colour does not matter, such as cardboard boxes but if the grey colour is not acceptable, the fibres
must be de-inked. This involves adding chemicals such as caustic soda or other alkalis, soaps and
detergents, water-hardening agents such as calcium chloride, frothing agents and bleaching agents.
Before the recycled fibres can be made into paper they must be refined or treated in such a way
that they bond together.
E. Most paper products must contain some virgin fibre as well as recycled fibres and unlike glass,
paper cannot be recycled indefinitely. Most paper is down-cycled which means that a product
made from recycled paper is of an inferior quality to the original paper. Recycling paper is
beneficial in that it saves some of the energy, labour and capital that go into producing virgin pulp.
However, recycling requires the use of fossil fuel, a non-renewable energy source, to collect the
waste paper from the community and to process it to produce new paper. And the recycling
process still creates emissions which require treatment before they can be disposed of safely.
Nevertheless, paper recycling is an important economical and environmental practice but one
which must be carried out in a rational and viable manner for it to be useful to both industry and
the community.
i. Sources of paper for recycling
ii. Bad sides of paper recycling
iii. Contribution of community to recycling paper
iv. Process of paper recycling
v. Less threat of waste paper to the environment
vi. Collection of paper for recycling
