Passage 4The classic Neanderthals, who lived between about 70,000 and 30,000 years ago, shared a number of special characteristics. Like any biological population, Neanderthals also showed variation in the degree to which those characteristics were expressed. Generally, they were powerfully built, short and stocky, with the lower parts of their arms and legs short in relation to the upper parts, as in modern peoples who live in cold environments. Neanderthal skulls were distinctive, housing brains even larger on average than those of modem humans, a feature that may have had more to do with their large, heavy bodies than with superior intelligence. Seen from behind, Neanderthal skulls look almost spherical, but from the side they are long and flattened often with a bulging back.The Neanderthal face, dominated by a projecting and full nose, differed clearly from the faces of other hominids。 the middle parts appear to be pulled forward (or the sides pulled back), resulting in a rather streamlined face shape. This peculiarity may have been related to the greater importance (in cultural activities as well as food processing) of the front teeth, which are large and part of a row of teeth that lies well forward in the head。 it may reflect a reduction in importance of certain jaw muscles operating at the sides of the face。 or it may reflect an adaptation to cold. Whether it results from any or all of these three factors or from other, undiscovered causes, this midfacial projection is so characteristic that it unfailingly identifies a Neanderthal to the trained eye. Neanderthal teeth are much more difficult to characterize: the front teeth are large, with strong roots, but the back teeth may be relatively small. This feature may have been an adaptation to cope with heavy tooth wear1. What does the passage mainly discuss?(A) The eating habits of the Neanderthals(B) A parison of various prehistoric populations(C) The physical characteristics of the Neanderthals(D) The effect of climate on human development2. The author describes the Neanderthal as being all of the following EXCEPT(A) short(B) swift(C) strong(D) stocky 3. Which of the following most likely accounts for the fact that the Neanderthal brain was larger than that of the modern human?(A) The relatively large size of the Neanderthal39。s body (B) The superior intelligence of the Neanderthal.(C) The swelling behind the Neanderthal39。 5 head(D) The Neanderthal39。s midfacial projection4. Where in the passage does the author specifically stress the contrast between the Neanderthal face and that of other biologically related populations?(A) Lines 14(B) Lines 79 (C) Lines 1011 (D) Lines 18205. Which of the following explanations is NOT cited as a possible explanation of the Neanderthal 5 streamlined face shape?(A) Some jaw muscles had limited use.(B) The facial features were well adapted to the cold.(C) The front teeth were particularly important. (D) The nose was set far back39。 phrase the trained eye in line 18 most likely refers to which of the following professionals?(A) An optometrist (B) A dentist (C) An anthropologist (D) A photographer line 20, the author uses the expression heavy tooth wear to imply that the Neanderthals(A)had unusually heavy teeth(B) used their teeth extensively(C) regularly pulled out their teeth(D) used teeth for ornamentation 8. The paragraph following this passage most probably discusses(A) other features of the Neanderthal anatomy(B) cave painting of prehistoric time(C) flora and fauna of 70,000 years ago(D) difficulties in preserving fossilsPassage 5 Television was not invented by any one person.

The process began in 1873. when it was accidentally discovered that the electrical resistance of39。 the element selenium varied in proportion to the intensity of the light shining on it. 39。Scientists quickly recognized that this provided, away of 39。transforming light variations39。 into electri6al signals.
