Questions 1-10
The stone age was a period of history which began in
approximately 2 million B.C and lasted until 3000 B.C. Its name was derived
from the stone tools and weapons that modern scientists found. This period was
divided into the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic Ages. During the first
period (2 million to 8000 B.C), the first hatchet and use of fire for heating
and cooking were developed. As s result of the Ice Age, which evolved about I
million years into the Paleolithic Age, people were forced to seek shelter in
caves, wear clothing, and develop new tools.
During
the Mesolithic Age (8000 to 6000 B.C.), people made crude pottery and the first
fish hooks, took dogs hunting, and developed the bow and arrow, which were used
until the fourteenth century A.D.
The
Neolithic Age (6000 to 3000 B.C.) saw humankind domesticating sheep, goats,
pigs, and cattle, being less nomadic than In previous eras, establishing
permanent settlements, and creating governments.

Questions 11-23
Hot boning is an energy-saving technique for the meat
processing industry. It has received significant attention in recent years when
increased pressure for energy conservation has accentuated the need for more
efficient methods of processing the bovine carcass. Cooling an entire carcass
requires a considerable amount of refrigerated space, since bone and trimmable
fat are cooled along with muscle. It (5) is also necessary to space the
carcasses adequately in the refrigerated room for better air movement and
prevention of microbial contamination, thus adding to the volume requirements
for carcass chillers.
Conventional
handling of meat involves holding the beef sides in the cooler for 24 to 36
hours before boning. Chilling in the traditional fashion is also associated
with a loss of carcass weight ranging from 2 (10) percent to 4 percent due to
evaporation of moisture the meat tissue.
Early
excision, or hot boning , of muscle prerigor followed be vacuum packaging has
several potential advantages. By removing only the edible muscle and fat
prerigor, refrigeration space and cost are minimized, boning labor is
decreased, and storage yields increased. Because hot boning often result in the
toughening of meat, a more recent approach, hot boning following electrical
stimulation, has been (15) used to reduce the necessary time of rigor mortis.
Some
researchers have found this method beneficial in maintaining tender meat, while
others have found that the meat also becomes tough after electrical
stimulation.

Questions 24-31
In 1920, after some thirty-nine years of problems with
disease, high costs, and politics, the Panama Canal was officially opened,
finally linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by allowing ships to pass
thorough the fifty-mile canal zone instead of travelling some seven thousand
miles around Cape Horn. It takes a ship approximately eight hours to complete
the trip through the canal and costs an average of fifteen thousand dollars,
one tenth of what it would cost an average ship to round the Horn. More than
fifteen thousand ships pass through its locks each year.

776 B.C., the first Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount Olympus to
honor the Greeks’ chief god, Zeus. The warm climate for outdoor activities, the
need for preparedness in war, and their lifestyle caused the Greeks to create
competitive sports. Only the elite and military could participate at first, but
later the games were open to all free Greek males who had no criminal record.

Questions 42-50
Tampa,
Florida, owes a great deal of its growth and prosperity to a Cuban cigar
manufacturer named Vicente martinez Ybor. When civil war broke out in 1869, he
was forced to flee his country, and he moved his business to south Florida.
Sixteen years later, labor union problems in Key West caused him to seek a
better location along the west coast of the state. He bought a forty-acre tract
of land and made plans to set up his cigar factory on the site. This original
sixteen-block stretch of land later expanded to one hundred acres near Tampa.
This newly developed area was called Ybor City in his honor. Spanish, Italian,
and Cuban immigrants flocked to the area as the demand for workers in the cigar
factory increased. One fifth of the city’s twenty thousand resident enjoyed the
high-paying jobs there. At the end of the 1800s, Jose Marti, a Cuban poet and
freedom fighter, organized a revolution from Ybor City and managed to get
considerable support for his movement. Teddy Roosevelt’s “Rough Riders” were
stationed there during the Spanish-American War in 1898. Much of the prosperity
of this region is due to Ybor’s cigar factory established more than one hundred
years ago.
