Laughing and evolution The first hoots of laughter from an ancient ancestor of humans could be heard at least 10 million years ago, according to the results of a new study. Researchers used recordings of apes and babies being tickled A ______ to the last common ancestor that humans shared with the modern great apes, which include chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans. The finding challenges the opinion В ______ , suggesting instead that it emerged long before humans split from the evolutionary path that led to our primate cousins, between 10m and 16m years ago. “In humans, laughing can be the strongest way of expressing how much we are enjoying ourselves, but it can also be used in other contexts, like making fun of someone,” said Marina Davila Ross, a psychologist at Portsmouth University. “I was interested in С ______ .” Davila Ross travelled to seven zoos around Europe and visited a wildlife reserve in Sabah, Borneo, to record baby and juvenile apes D ______ . Great apes are known to make noises that are similar to laughter when they are excited and while they are playing with each other. Davila Ross collected recordings of laughter from 21 chimps, gorillas, orangutans and bonobos and added recordings of three babies that were tickled to make them laugh. To analyze the recordings, the team put them into a computer program. “Our evolutionary tree based on these acoustic recordings alone showed E ______ , but furthest from orangutans, with gorillas somewhere in the middle.” said Davila Ross. “What this shows is strong evidence to suggest F ______ .” 1. whether laughing emerged earlier on than humans did 2. to create the evolutionary tree linking humans and apes 3. that laughter is a uniquely human trait 4. that humans were closest to chimps and bonobos 5. that laughing comes from a common primate ancestor 6. while their caretakers tickled them 7. to trace the origin of laughter back

The continent they eventually discovered had already been inhabited for tens of thousands of years. Australia is an island continent A ______ is the result of gradual changes wrought over millions of years. B ______, Australia is one of the most stable land masses, and for about 100 million years has been free of the forces that have given rise to huge mountain ranges elsewhere. From the east coast a narrow, fertile strip merges into the greatly eroded Great Dividing Range, C ______. The mountains are merely reminders of the mighty range, D ______. Only in the section straddling the New South Wales border with Victoria and in Tasmania, are they high enough to have winter snow. West of the range of the country becomes increasingly flat and dry. The endless flatness is broken only by salt lakes, occasional mysterious protuberances and some mountains E ______. In places the scant vegetation is sufficient to allow some grazing. However, much of the Australian outback is a barren land of harsh stone deserts and dry lakes. The extreme north of Australia, the Top End, is a tropical area within the monsoon belt. F ______, it comes in more or less one short, sharp burst. This has prevented the Top End from becoming seriously productive area. 1. that once stood here 2. that is almost continent long 3. whose property is situated to the north of Tasmania 4. whose landscape — much of bleak and inhospitable 5. whose beauty reminds of the MacDonald Ranges 6.

The science of sound, or acoustics, as it is often called, has been made over radically within a comparatively short space of time. Not so long ago the lectures on sound in colleges and high schools dealt chiefly with the vibrations of such things as the air columns in organ pipes. Nowadays, however, thanks chiefly to a number of electronic instruments engineers can study sounds as effectively A ______ . The result has been a new approach to research in sound. Scientists have been able to make far-reaching discoveries in many fields of acoustics B ______ . Foremost among the instruments that have revolutionized the study of acoustics are electronic sound-level meters also known as sound meters and sound-intensity meters. These are effective devices that first convert sound waves into weak electric signals, then amplify the signals through electronic means C ______ . The intensity of a sound is measured in units called decibels. “Zero” sound is the faintest sound D ______ . The decibel measures the ratio of the intensity of a given sound to the standard “zero” sound. The decibel scale ranges from 0 to 130. An intensity of 130 decibels is perceived not only as a sound, but also E ______ . The normal range of painlessly audible sounds for the average human ear is about 120 decibels. For forms of life other than ourselves, the range can be quite different. The ordinary sound meter measures the intensity of a given sound, rather than its actual loudness. Under most conditions, however, it is a quite good indicator of loudness. Probably the loudest known noise ever heard by human ears was that of the explosive eruption in August, 1883, of the volcano of Krakatoa in the East Indies. No electronic sound meters, of course, were in existence then, but physicists estimate that the sound at its source must have had an intensity of 190 decibels, F ______ . 1. and finally measure them 2. since it was heard 3,000 miles away 3. and they have been able to put many of these discoveries to practical use 4. that loud sound is of high intensity 5. as they study mechanical forces 6. as a painful sensation in the ear 7. that the unaided human ear can detect

Sir Ernest was chairman of Racal Electronics, the owner of Vodafone, A ______. At the time, mobile phones weighed almost a kilogram, cost several thousand pounds and provided only 20 minutes talktime. The networks themselves were small; Vodafone had just a dozen masts covering London. Nobody had any idea of the huge potential of wireless communication and the dramatic impact B ______. Hardly anyone believed there would come a day when mobile phones were so popular C ______. But in 1999 one mobile phone was sold in the UK every four seconds, and by 2004 there were more mobile phones in the UK than people. The boom was a result of increased competition which pushed prices lower and created innovations in the way that mobiles were sold. When the government introduced more competition, companies started cutting prices to attract more customers. Cellnet, for example, changed its prices, D ______. It also introduced local call tariffs. The way that handsets themselves were marketed was also changing and it was Finland’s Nokia who made E ______. In the late 1990s Nokia realized that the mobile phone was a fashion item: so it offered interchangeable covers which allowed you to customize and personalize your handset. The mobile phone industry has spent the later part of the past decade reducing its monthly charge F ______, which has culminated in the fight between the iPhone and a succession of touch screen rivals. 1. trying to persuade people to do more with their phones than just call and text 2. that there would be more phones in the UK than there are people 3. and relying instead on actual call charges 4. that mobile phones would have over the next quarter century 5. the leap from phones as technology to phones as fashion items 6. and his son was making the first-ever mobile phone call in the UK 7. the move to digital technology, connecting machines to wireless networks
