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 from 55 to 64 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, however, is not only the oldest known subsistence strategy, but also the one that has been practiced continuously in some parts of the world for at least the last two million years It was, indeed, the only way to obtain food until rudimentary farming and very crude methods for the domestication of 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 the marginal wastelands In higher latitudes, the shorter growing season has restricted the availability of plant life Such conditions have caused a greater dependence on hunting and, along the coasts and waterways, on fishing 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 observation of modern hunter-gatherers in both Africa and Alaska that a society based on hunting and gathering must be very mobile Following the food supply can be a way of life If a particular kind of wild herding animal is the basis of the food for a group of people, those people must move to stay within reach of those animals For many of the native people of the great central plains of North America, following the buffalo, who were in turn following the growth of grazing foods, determined their way of life For gathering societies, seasonal changes mean a great deal 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 is exhausted, the community moves on to exploit another site We also notice a seasonal migration pattern 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 humankind during the Paleolithic Period Page of 55 Which of the following is the main topic of the passage? A The Paleolithic Period B Subsistence farming C Hunter-gatherers D Marginal environments 56 Which is the oldest subsistence strategy? A Migrating B Domesticating animals C Farming D Hunting and gathering 57 When was hunting and gathering introduced? A Ten million years ago B Two million years ago C Ten thousand years ago D Two thousand years ago 58 The word “dwindled” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A disagreed B decreased C disappeared D died 59 In paragraph 2, the author explains that hunters and gatherers in lower latitudes found A more animals to hunt B more coasts and waterways for fishing C a shorter growing season D a large variety of plant life 60 Why does the author mention contemporary hunter-gatherers in paragraph 3? A Their seasonal migration patterns are important B Studying them gives us insights into the lifestyle of prehistoric people C There are very few examples of modern hunter-gatherer societies D Their societies are quite different from those of their ancestors 61 The word “exploit” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A use B find C take D prepare 62 What does the author mean by the statement “While the entire community camps in a central location, a smaller party harvests the food within a reasonable distance from the camp.”? A Everyone is involved in hunting and gathering the food for the community B When the food has been harvested, the community has a celebration C A small group hunts and gathers food near the camp D The reason that the community harvests the food is that it is near the camp 63 All of the patterns of behavior for hunter-gatherers are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT A a small group plants food near the camp B the group moves when the food supply is low C men and women each have specific roles D the seasons dictate the movement of the group 64 Which of the following sentences should NOT be included in a summary of the passage?
