15

　　

B

　　

PARAGRAPH B

　　

... interlopers in the form of Homo sapiens, who were spreading out from Africa.

　　

16

　　

A

　　

PARAGRAPH B

　　

... the arrival of Homo sapiens in a region was always quickly followed by the disappearance of Neanderthals.

　　

17

　　

C

　　

PARAGRAPH E tells us that the two species, i.e. Homo neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens were inter-fertile.

　　

18

　　

A

　　

PARAGRAPH E says that …no Neanderthal mitochondrial DNA has turned up in modern humans.

　　

19

　　

D

　　

PARAGRAPH D explains the change in thinking about the relationship between the two species:

　　

Previous genetic analysis...had suggested no interbreeding between Neanderthals and modern humans. The new ... examination ... shows this conclusion is wrong.

　　

20

　　

B

　　

The final sentence of PARAGRAPH B explains that we do not yet know why the arrival of Homo sapiens in a region was always quickly followed by the disappearance of Neanderthals.

　　

21

　　

G

　　

PARAGRAPH G says that Neanderthals and modern humans share the same version of a gene which is involved in the ability to speak.

　　

22

　　

A

　　

PARAGRAPH A sets out the groundbreaking nature of the analysis by Svante Paabo and his colleagues.

　　

23

　　

E

　　

PARAGRAPH E notes that it is strange, that no Neanderthal mitochondrial DNA has turned up in modern humans, since the usual pattern of invasion in historical times was for the invaders, males to mate with the invadeds females.,

inter­

　　

breeding

　　

/crossbreed­ing

Passage 3

　　

27

　　

Y

　　

PARAGRAPH 1 tells us that the first commercial fishermen cast their nets and hooks over a thousand years ago.

　　

28

　　

Y

　　

PARAGRAPH 2 supports the statement by stating that, in general, we view the oceans as something which should be open to all.

　　

29

　　

N

　　

PARAGRAPH 2 contradicts the statement when it says that ... most marine protected areas allow some fishing to continue.,

　　

30

　　

NG

　　

The passage focuses on ways of protecting supplies of fish; it does not discuss the option of limiting consumer demand.

　　

31

　　

N

　　

PARAGRAPH 4 makes it clear that destruction of the variety of mammals has been much easier than their recovery will be to manage.

　　

32

　　

D

　　

The writer means that pleas from fisheries managers for more time to make their models work, delay action which might lead to real success.

　　

33

　　

C

　　

None of the statements A, B or D is supported by the passage, but in PARAGRAPH 5 the writer says:

　　

.The Common Fisheries Policy exemplifies the worst pitfalls: flawed models … Which agrees with statement C.

　　

34

　　

A

　　

In PARAGRAPH 6 the writer says:

　　

We can go a long way to avoiding this catastrophic mistake with simple common-sense management thus supporting statement A. Statements B, C and D are contradicted in the passage.

　　

35

　　

B

　　

PARAGRAPH 1

　　

by the nineteenth century it was still felt, justifiably, that the plentiful resources of the sea were ... beyond the reach of fishing, and so there was little need to restrict fishing or

　　

 

　　

 

　　

create protected areas/

F

　　

PARAGRAPH 1

　　

1 …modern fishing technologies leave fish no place to hide

　　

37

paragraph 1

　　

/... the only refuges from fishing are those we deliberately create/ PARAGRAPH 5

　　

creating marine reserves ... has been tried and refined for the last fifty years.7
