Read the following passage and choose the correct answer A, B,C, or D to each of the questions: Very few people in the modern world obtain their food supply by hunting and gathering in the natural environment surrounding their homes. This method of harvesting from nature’s provision is the oldest known subsistence strategy and has been practised for at least the last two million years. It was, indeed, the only way to obtain food until rudimentary farming and the domestication of wild animals were introduced about 10,000 years ago. Because hunter-gatherers have fared poorly in comparison with their agricultural cousins, their numbers have dwindled, and they have been forced to live in marginal environments, such as deserts and arctic wastelands. In higher latitudes, the shorter growing seasons have restricted the availability of plant life. Such conditions have caused a greater dependence on hunting, and on fishing along the coasts and waterways. The abundance of vegetation in the lower latitudes of the tropics, on the other hand, has provided a greater opportunity for gathering a variety of plants. In short, the environmental differences have restricted the diet and have limited possibilities for the development of subsistence societies. Contemporary hunter-gatherers may help us understand our prehistoric ancestors. We know from the observation of modern hunter-gatherers in both Africa and Alaska that a society based on hunting and gathering must be very mobile. While the entire community camps in a central location, a smaller party harvests the food within a reasonable distance from the camp. When the food in the area has become exhausted, the community moves on to exploit another site. We also notice seasonal migration patterns evolving for most hunter-gatherers, along with a strict division of labor between the sexes. These patterns of behavior may be similar to those practised by mankind during the Paleolithic Period. Câu 42.The word “domestication” in the first paragraph mostly means ______. A. hatching and raising new species of wild animals in the home B. adapting animals to suit a new working environment C. teaching animals to do a particular job or activity in the home D. making wild animals used to living with and working for humans Câu 43.According to the passage, subsistence societies depend mainly on ______. A. agricultural products B. hunter-gatherers’ tools C. nature’s provision D. farming methods Câu 44. The word “marginal” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to “______”. Page 3 hh A. forgotten B. suburban C. disadvantaged D. abandoned Câu 45. In the lower latitudes of the tropics, hunter-gatherers ______. A. have better food gathering from nature B. can free themselves from hunting C. harvest shorter seasonal crops D. live along the coasts and waterways for fishing Câu 46.According to the passage, studies of contemporary subsistence societies can provide a ______. A. further understanding of prehistoric times B. broader vision of prehistoric natural environments C. further understanding of modern subsistence societies D. deeper insight into the dry-land farming Câu 47.The word “conditions” in the second paragraph refers to ______. A. the environments where it is not favorable for vegetation to grow B. the situations in which hunter-gatherers hardly find anything to eat C. the places where plenty of animals and fish can be found D. the situations in which hunter-gatherers can grow some crops Câu 48. A typical feature of both modern and prehistoric hunter-gatherers is that ______. A. they live in the forests for all their life B. they often change their living places C. they don’t have a strong sense of community D. they don’t have a healthy and balanced diet Câu 49.
