Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on you answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
New Zealand is a small country of four million inhabitants, a long-haul flight from all the major tourist generating markets of the world. Tourism currently makes up 9% of the country's gross domestic product and is the country's largest export sector. Unlike other export sectors, which make products and then sell them overseas, tourism brings its customers to New Zealand. The product is the country itself the people, the places, and the experiences. In 1999, Tourism New Zealand launched a campaign to communicate a new brand position to the world. The campaign focused on New Zealand's scenic beauty, exhilarating outdoor activities and authentic Maori culture, and it made New Zealand one of the strongest national brands in the world.
A key feature of the campaign was the website www.newzealand.com, which provided potential visitors to New Zealand with a single gateway to everything the destination had to offer. The heart of the website was a database of tourism services operators, both those based in New Zealand and those based abroad which offered tourism service to the country. Any tourism-related business could be listed by filling in a simple form. This meant that even the smallest bed and breakfast address or specialist activity provider could gain a web presence with access to an audience of long-haul visitors. In addition, because participating businesses were able to update the details they gave on a regular basis, the information provided remained accurate. And to maintain and improve standards, Tourism New Zealand organized a scheme whereby organizations appearing on the website underwent an independent evaluationagainst a set of agreed national standards of quality. As part of this, the effect of each business on the environment was considered.
To communicate the New Zealand experience, the site also carried features relating to famous people and places. One of the most popular was an interview with former New Zealand All Blacks rugby captain Tana Umaga. Another feature that attracted a lot of attention was an interactive journey through a number of the locations chosen for blockbuster films which had made use of New Zealand's stunning scenery as a backdrop. As the site developed, additional features were added to help independent travelers devise their own customized itineraries.
According to paragraph 4, why did the website conduct an interview with Tana Umaga?
A. to advertise the New Zealand experience
B. to show off the beauty of New Zealand
C. to attract a lot of attention
D. to encourage tourists to visit New Zealand

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
There are two main hypotheses when it comes to explaining the emergence of modern humans. The "Out of Africa" theory holds that homo sapiens burst onto the scene as a new species around 150,000 to 200,000 years ago in Africa and subsequently replaced archaic humans such as the Neanderthals. The other model, known as multi-regional evolution or regional continuity, posits far more ancient and diverse roots for our kind. Proponents of this view believe that homo sapiens arose in Africa some 2 million years ago and evolved as a single species spreading across the Old World, with populations in different regions linked through genetic and cultural exchange.
Of these two models, Out of Africa, which was originally developed based on fossil evidence, and supported by much genetic research, has been favored by the majority of evolution scholars. The vast majority of these genetic studies have focused on DNA from living populations, and although some small progress has been made in recovering DNA from Neanderthal that appears to support multi-regionalism, the chance of recovering nuclear DNA from early human fossils is quite slim at present. Fossils thus remain very much a part of the human origins debate.
Another means of gathering theoretical evidence is through bones. Examinations of early modern human skulls from Central Europe and Australia dated to between 20,000 and 30,000 years old have suggested that both groups apparently exhibit traits seen in their Middle Eastern and African predecessors. But the early modern specimens from Central Europe also display Neanderthal traits, and the early modern Australians showed affinities to archaic Homo from Indonesia. Meanwhile, the debate among paleoanthropologists continues, as supporters of the two hypotheses challenge the evidence and conclusions of each other.
All of the following statements are true EXCEPT _________
A. DNA studies offer one of the best ways in future to provide clear evidence.
B. three methods of gathering evidence are mentioned in the passage.
C. the multi-regional model goes back further in history.
D. the Out of Africa model has had more support from scholars.
It can be inferred from the passage that ___________
A. the debate will interest historians to take part in.
B. there is likely to be an end to the debate in the near future.
C. there is little likelihood that the debate will die down.
D. the debate is likely to be less important in future.
According to the passage, which of the following information is NOT true?
A. The vast majority of genetic studies have focused on living populations.
B. Examinations of early modem human skulls all support the same conclusions.
C. Both hypotheses focus on Africa as a location for the new species.
D. Early modem Australian skulls have similarities to those from Indonesia.
Which of the following statements is NOT true about the two hypotheses?
A. Both hypotheses cite Africa as an originating location.
B. Genetic studies have supported both hypotheses.
C. One hypothesis dates the emergence of homo sapiens much earlier than the other.
D. Both hypotheses regard Neanderthals to be the predecessors of modern humans.

A. two hypotheses and some evidence on the human origins debate.
B. evidence that supports the "Out of Africa" theory.
C. that fossils remain very much a part of the human origins debate.
