scientists scrubbed the phones using a solution made mostly of alcohol The aim of washing was to 59 all detectable traces of DNA The owners got their phones back for another week Then the researchers collected the phones and 60 the swabbing of each phone once more The scientists discovered the DNA that 61 to the phone s owner on each of the phones Better samples were collected from the outside of each phone but those swabs also 62 DNA of other people who had apparently also handled the phone 63 DNA showed up even in swabs that were taken immediately after the phones were scrubbed That suggests

John Wood s important contribution to arts since 1990 You join a prestigious list of award winners since that time and we welcome you to the group Our Board considered not only the tremendous year s activities you have overseen during the Sesquicentennial but your past advocacy for community and grass roots arts The Wood Award for Excellence enjoys the tradition of being presented at the Saturday luncheon program of the annual conference of the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences Arts the right half works on pictures patterns and forms We need both halves working together And the better the connections the more harmoniously the two halves work But it isn t all that easy to explain the actual differences between skills of men and women on this basis In schools throughout the world girls tend to be better than boys at language subjects and boys better at maths and physics If these differences correspond with the differences in the hemispheric trunkline there is an unalterable distinction between the sexes We shan t know for a while partly because we don t know of any precise relationship between abilities in school subjects and the functioning of the two halves of the brain and we cannot understand how the two halves interact via the corpus callosum But this striking difference must have some effect and because the difference is in the parts of the brain involved in intellect we should be looking for differences in intellectual processing 72 According to the passage the research A is conducted in the subject given up by the psychologists B shows that brain differences point to superiority of one sex than the other C leads to the results that don t support the popular belief D finds the structural difference in brains which has long been known

structure of men and women D activities carried out by the brain 75 What is the main purpose of the passage A To outline the research findings on the brain structure B To explain the link between sex and brain structure C To discuss the various factors that cause brain differences D To suggest new areas in brain research Section C Directions Read the following passage and choose the most suitable heading from A F for each paragraph There is one extra heading which you do not need A Taking actions to preserve the diversity of species B People s efforts to preserve all species C Killing fierce animals with good reasons D Extinction of many species in North America E Wildlife rapidly disappearing F Good reasons for all animals to survive 76 With each increase in man s population the wilderness areas where the animals live get smaller The use of pesticides to kill insects also harms wild birds and animals Water pollution kills fish in our rivers lakes and oceans Hunters have almost exterminated many of the larger animals and farmers destroy smaller animals As a result of this pressure our wildlife is disappearing at the rate of one species or subspecies per year 77 Of all the continents the most drastic reduction in wildlife has occurred in North America where the transition from a rural to a highly industrialized society has been most rapid Among the victims are birds mammals and fish We will never again see the passenger pigeon or the eastern elk They have been wiped out Of many other species only a few representatives still survive in
