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 domesticationof wild animals were introduced about 10,000 years ago. Because huntergatherers have fared poorly in comparison with their agricultural cousins, their numbers have dwindled, and they have been forced to live in marginalenvironments, such as deserts and arctic wastelands. In higher latitudes, the shorter growing seasons have restricted the availability of plant life. Such conditionshave 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 huntergatherers may help us understand our prehistoric ancestors. We know from the observation of modern huntergatherers 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 huntergatherers, 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. Question 36.A typical feature of both modern and prehistoric huntergatherers is that A. they don't have a healthy and balanced diet B. they live in the forests for all their life C. they don't have a strong sense of community D. they often change their living places Question 37.The word "marginal" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to A. suburban B. disadvantaged C. forgotten D. abandoned Question 38.According to the passage, studies of contemporary subsistence societies can provide a _ A. deeper insight into the dryland farming B. further understanding of modern subsistence societies C. broader vision of prehistoric natural environments D. further understanding of prehistoric times Question 39.According to the passage, subsistence societies depend mainly on A. agricultural products B. nature's provision C. farming methods D. huntergatherers' tools Question 40.According to the author, most contemporary and prehistoric huntergatherers share _. A. only the way of duty division B. some restricted daily rules C. some methods of production D.some patterns of behavior Question 41.Which of the following would serve as the best title of the passage? A. Huntergatherers: Always on the Move B. Evolution of Humans' Farming Methods C. Huntergatherers and Subsistence Societies D. A Brief History of Subsistence Farming Question 42.In the lower latitudes of the tropics, hunter gatherers A. have better food gathering from nature B. live along the coasts and waterways for fishing C. harvest shorter seasonal crops D. can free themselves from hunting Question 43.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned? A. The environmental differences produce no effect on subsistence societies B. Hunting or fishing develops where there are no or short growing seasons C.
