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 practiced 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 practiced by mankind during the Paleolithic Period

Question 45 What does it mean “domestication” in the first paragraph?

A adapting animals to suit a new working environment

B hatching and raising new species of wild animals in the home

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

Question 46 According to the passage, subsistence societies depend mainly on .

A hunter-gatherers‟ tools

B nature’s provision

C farming methods

D agricultural products

Question 47.The word “marginal” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to “ ”

A disadvantaged B suburban C forgotten D abandoned

Question 48 In the lower latitudes of the tropics, hunter-gatherers .

A can free themselves from hunting

B have better food gathering from nature

C live along the coasts and waterways for fishing

D harvest shorter seasonal crops

Question 49 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

Question 50 The word “conditions” in the second paragraph refers to .

A the places where plenty of animals and fish can be found

B the situations in which hunter-gatherers can grow some crops

C the environments where it is not favorable for vegetation to grow

D the situations in which hunter-gatherers hardly find anything to eat

Question 51 A typical feature of both modern and prehistoric hunter-gatherers is that .

A they live in the forests for all their life

B they don’t have a healthy and balanced diet

C they don’t have a strong sense of community

D they often change their living places

Question 52 According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned?

A Harvesting from the natural environment had existed long before farming was taken up

B Hunting or fishing develops where there are no or short growing seasons

C The number of hunter-gatherers decreases where farming is convenient

D The environmental differences produce no effect on subsistence societies

Question 53 According to the author, most contemporary and prehistoric hunter -gatherers share

A some methods of production

B some patterns of behavior

C some restricted daily rules

D only the way of duty division
