A. Choose the best answer based on the passage!

Questions 1 through 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 palaeolithic, Mesolithic and
Neolithic Ages. During the first period (2 million to 8000 B.C.), the first hatchet and use
of force for heating and cooking were developed. As a result of the Ice Age, which evolved
about 1 million years into the palaeolithic Age, People were forced to seek shelter in caves,
wear clothing and develop new tools.

During the Mesolithic Age (8000 to 3000 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 country A.D.

The Neolithic Age (6000 to 3000 B.C.) saw humankind domesticating sheep, goats, pigs
and cattle, being less nomadic than the previous eras, establishing settlements and
creating governments.

Questions 11 through 21
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 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. (8)

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 percent to 4 percent due to evaporation of moisture the
meat tissue. (12)

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 labour is decreased, and storage yields
increased. Because hot boning often results in the toughening of meat, a more recent
approach, hot boning following electrical stimulation, has been used to reduce the
necessary time of rigor mortis. (18)

Some researchers have found this method beneficial in maintaining tender meat, while
others have found that the meat also becomes tough after electrical stimulation. (20)

boning EXCEPT

D. Toughness of meat

13. In the line 2, the word "pressure" is closest in meaning to

A. urgency

14. Hot boning is becoming very popular because

A. it causes meat to be very tender
B. it helps conserve energy and is less expensive than conventional methods

15. In the line 8, "carcass chillers" is nearest in meaning to

A. a refrigerator for the animal body
B. a method of boning meat
C. electrical stimulation of beef
D. early excision

16. In the line 13, "early excision" is closest in meaning to

A. vacuum packaging
