智课网TOEFL备考资料老托福阅读全套试题【备考冲刺】 摘要： 不少学生不明白为什么现在考试的都是新托福阅读了，为什么还要做老托福阅读的题目呢?原因很简单，虽然我们现在考试的是新托福阅读，但是托福阅读考试的题型共有10种(这里就不再为大家介绍)，其中有6种常考的题型还是沿用了老托福的，所以联系老托福真题对我们的托福阅读分数影响非常大。 老 托福 阅读全套试题： 2000.10 Questions 1-10 The Eating and Dietary Habits of Hominids Keywords: paleoanthropological study, hominids, early humans, Dietary Habits, human ancestors 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 was shared and consumed with the young and other adults. The use of home bases is a 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, 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 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 nutritious food—meat and marrow-from large animal car
