Section Three: Reading Comprehension

Questions 1-10

One area of paleoanthropological study involves the eating and dietary habits of hominids, erect

bipedal primates—including early humans. It is clear that at some stage of history, humans began

to carry their food to central places, called home bases, where it

Line was shared and consumed with the young and other adults. The use of home bases is a

(5) fundamental component of human social behavior; the common meal served at a common hearth is a powerful symbol, a mark of social unity. Home base behavior does not occur among nonhuman primates and is rare among mammals. It is unclear when humans began to use home bases, what kind of communications and social relations were involved, and what the ecological and food-choice contexts of the shift were. Work on early tools,

(10) surveys of paleoanthropological sites, development and testing of broad ecological

theories, and advances in comparative primatology are contributing to knowledge about this central chapter in human prehistory.

One innovative approach to these issues involves studying damage and wear on stone tools. Researchers make tools that replicate excavated specimens as closely as possible

(15) and then try to use them as the originals might have been used, in woodcutting, hunting, or cultivation. Depending on how the tool is used, characteristic chippage patterns and microscopically distinguishable polishes develop near the edges. The first application of this method of analysis to stone tools that are 1.5 million to 2 million years old indicates that, from the start, an important function of early stone tools was to extract highly

(20) nutritious food—meat and marrow-from large animal carcasses. Fossil bones with cut marks caused by stone tools have been discovered lying in the same 2-million-year-old layers that yielded the oldest such tools and the oldest hominid specimens (including humans) with larger than ape-sized brains. This discovery increases scientists' certainty about when human ancestors began to eat more meat than present-day nonhuman

(25) primates. But several questions remain unanswered: how frequently meat eating occurred; what the social implications of meat eating were; and whether the increased use of meat coincides with the beginnings of the use of home bases.

1. The passage mainly discusses which of
the following aspects of hominid
behavior?

(A) Changes in eating and dietary

practices (B) The creation of stone hunting tools

(D) Methods of extracting nutritious food
from carcasses

2. According to the passage, bringing a meal

Questions 11-20

In seventeenth-century colonial North America, all day-to-day cooking was done in the

fireplace. Generally large, fireplaces were planned for cooking as well as for warmth. Those in

the Northeast were usually four or five feet high, and in the South, they were

Line often high enough for a person to walk into. A heavy timber called the mantel tree was

(5) used as a lintel to support the stonework above the fireplace opening. This timber might be scorched occasionally, but it was far enough in front of the rising column of heat to be safe from catching fire.

Two ledges were built across from each other on the inside of the chimney. On these rested the ends of a "lug pole" from which pots were suspended when cooking. Wood

(10) from a freshly cut tree was used for the lug pole, so it would resist heat, but it had to be replaced frequently because it dried out and charred, and was thus weakened. Sometimes the pole broke and the dinner fell into the fire. When iron became easier to obtain, it was used instead of wood for lug poles, and later fireplaces had pivoting metal rods to hang pots from.

(15) Beside the fireplace and built as part of it was the oven. It was made like a small,

secondary fireplace with a flue leading into the main chimney to draw out smoke. Sometimes the door of the oven faced the room, but most ovens were built with the opening facing into the fireplace. On baking days (usually once or twice a week) a roaring fire of "oven wood," consisting of brown maple sticks, was maintained in the oven until its

(20) walls were extremely hot. The embers were later removed, bread dough was put into the oven, and the oven was sealed shut until the bread was fully baked.

Not ai! baking was done in a big oven, however. Also used was an iron "bake kettle," which looked like a stewpot on legs and which had an iron lid. This is said to have worked well when it was placed in the fireplace, surrounded by glowing wood embers, with more

(25) embers piled on its lid.

Questions 21-29

Butterflies are among the most extensively studied insects—an estimated 90 percent of the

world's species have scientific names. As a consequence, they are perhaps the best group of

insects for examining patterns of terrestrial biotic diversity and distribution. Butterflies also

have a favorable image with the general public. Hence, they are an excellent group for

(5) communicating information on science and conservation issues such as diversity.

Perhaps the aspect of butterfly diversity that has received the most attention over the past

century is the striking difference in species richness between tropical and temperate regions.

For example, in 1875 one biologist pointed out the diversity of butterflies in the Amazon when

he mentioned that about 700 species were found within an hour's walk, whereas the total

(10) number found on the British islands did not exceed 66, and the whole of Europe supported only

321. This early comparison of tropical and temperate butterfly richness has been well

confirmed.

A general theory of diversity would have to predict not only this difference between

temperate and tropical zones, but also patterns within each region, and how these patterns vary

(15) among different animal and plant groups. However, for butterflies, variation of species richness

within temperate or tropical regions, rather man between them, is poorly understood. Indeed,

comparisons of numbers of species among the Amazon basin, tropical Asia, and Africa are still

mostly "personal communication" citations, even for vertebrates, In other words, unlike

comparison between temperate and tropical areas, these patterns are still in the documentation

(20)phase.

In documenting geographical variation in butterfly diversity, some arbitrary, practical

decisions are made. Diversity, number of species, and species richness are used synonymously;

little is known about the evenness of butterfly distribution. The New World butterflies make

up the preponderance of examples because they are the most familiar species. It is hoped that

(25) by focusing on them, the errors generated by imperfect and incomplete taxonomy will be

minimized.

21. Which aspect of butterflies does the

(A) Their physical characteristics

(B) Their names

(D) Their variety

22. The word "consequence" in line 2 is
closest in meaning to

(A) result

communicating information about
conservation issues because they

(A) are simple in structure

(B) are viewed positively by people

(D) are found mainly in temperate
climates

24. The word "striking" in line 7 is closest in

meaning to

(A) physical

(B) confusing

(D) successful

25. The word "exceed" in line 10 is closest
in meaning to

(A) locate

(B) allow

(D) come close to

26. All of the following are mentioned as
being important parts of a general theory

(A) differences between temperate and
tropical zones

(B) patterns of distribution of species in

Questions 30-40

According to anthropologists, people in preindustrial societies spent 3 to 4 hours per day or about 20 hours per week doing the work necessary for life. Modern comparisons of the amount of work performed per week, however, begin with the Industrial Revolution

Line (1760-1840) when 10- to 12-hour workdays with six workdays per week were the norm.

(5) Even with extensive time devoted to work, however, both incomes and standards of living were low. As incomes rose near the end of the Industrial Revolution, it became increasingly common to treat Saturday afternoons as a half-day holiday. The half holiday had become standard practice in Britain by the 1870's, but did not become common in the United States until the 1920's.

(10) In the United States, the first third of the twentieth century saw the workweek move

from 60 hours per week to just under 50 hours by the start of the 1930' s. In 1914 Henry Ford reduced daily work hours at his automobile plants from 9 to 8. In 1926 he announced that henceforth his factories would close for the entire day on Saturday. At the time, Ford received criticism from other firms such as United States Steel and Westinghouse, but the

(15) idea was popular with workers.

The Depression years of the 1930's brought with them the notion of job sharing to spread available work around; the workweek dropped to a modem low for the United States of 35 hours. In 1938 the Fair Labor Standards Act mandated a weekly maximum of 40 hours to begin in 1940, and since that time the 8-hour day, 5-day workweek has been the standard in

(20) the United States. Adjustments in various places, however, show that this standard is not

immutable. In 1987, for example, German metalworkers struck for and received a 37.5-hour workweek; and in 1990 many workers in Britain won a 37-hour week. Since 1989, the Japanese government has moved from a 6- to a 5-day workweek and has set a national target of 1,800 work hours per year for the average worker. The average amount of work

(25) per year in Japan in 1989 was 2,088 hours per worker, compared to 1,957 for the United States and 1,646 for France.

Questions 41-50

The Arts and Crafts Movement in the United States was responsible for sweeping changes in attitudes toward the decorative arts, then considered the minor or household arts. Its focus on decorative arts helped to induce United Slates museums and private

Line collectors to begin collecting furniture, glass, ceramics, metalwork, and textiles in the

(5) late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The fact that artisans, who were looked on as mechanics or skilled workers in the eighteenth century, are frequently considered artists today is directly attributable to the Arts and Crafts Movement of the nineteenth century. The importance now placed on attractive and harmonious home decoration can also be traced to this period, when Victorian interior arrangements were revised to

(10) admit greater light and more freely flowing spaces.

The Arts and Crafts Movement reacted against mechanized processes that threatened handcrafts and resulted in cheapened, monotonous merchandise. Founded in the late nineteenth century by British social critics John Ruskin and William Morris, the movement revered craft as a form of art. In a rapidly industrializing society, most

(15) Victorians agreed that art was an essential moral ingredient in the home environment, and in many middle- and working-class homes craft was the only form of art, Ruskin and his followers criticized not only the degradation of artisans reduced to machine operators, but also the impending loss of daily contact with handcrafted objects, fashioned with pride, integrity, and attention to beauty.

(20) In the United States as well as in Great Britain, reformers extolled the virtues of

handcrafted objects: simple, straightforward design; solid materials of good quality; and sound, enduring construction techniques. These criteria were interpreted in a variety of styles, ranging from rational and geometric to romantic or naturalistic. Whether abstract, stylized, or realistically treated, the consistent theme in virtually all Arts and Crafts

(25) design is nature.

The Arts and Crafts Movement was much more than a particular style; it was a philosophy of domestic life. Proponents believed that if simple design, high-quality materials, and honest construction were realized in the home and its appointments, then the occupants would enjoy moral and therapeutic effects. For both artisan and consumer,
