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 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 season has restricted the availability of plant life. Such conditions have caused a greater independence 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 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 is exhausted, the community moves on to exploit another site. We also notice seasonal migration on patterns evolving for most hunter-gatherers, along with a strict division of HOC24.VN 5 labor between sexes. These patterns of behavior may be similar to those practiced by mankind during the Paleolithic Period. Question 36: With which of the following topics is the passage primarily concerned? A. The Paleolithic period B. Subsistence farming C. Hunter-gatherers D. Marginal environment Question 37: Which is the oldest subsistence strategy? A. Migrating B. Domesticating animals C. Farming D. Hunting and gathering Question 38: The word “rudimentary” is closet in meaning to _____. A. rough B. preliminary C. ancient D. backward Question 39: When was hunting and gathering introduced? A. 1,000,000 years ago B. 2,000,000 years ago C. 10,000 years ago D. 2,000 years ago Question 40: What conditions exist in the lower latitude? A. Greater dependence on hunting. B. More coats and waterways for fishing. C. A shorter growing season. D. A large variety of plant life. Question 41: The word “mobile” in the passage can be replaced by _____. A. transportable B. carried C. movable D. portable Question 42: Which of the following is not mentioned in the above passage? A. More and more people in the modern time live on the food they gather in the natural environment around their homes. B. The more vegetable in the lower latitude in the tropics there is, the greater opportunity for gathering plants there are. C. Because of the shorter growing season in higher latitude, the availability of plants is limited. D. The environmental differences result in restricted diet. Read the following passage on transport, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50. Quite different from storm surges are the giant sea waves called tsunamis, which derive their name from the Japanese expression for “high water in a harbor.” These waves are also referred to by the general public as tidal waves, although they have relatively little to do with tides. Scientists often referred to them as seismic sea waves, far more appropriate in that they do result from undersea seismic activity. Tsunamis are caused when the sea bottom suddenly moves, during an underwater earthquake or volcano for example, and the water above the moving earth is suddenly displaced. This sudden shift of water sets off a series of waves. These waves can travel great distances at speeds close to 700 kilometers per hour. In the open ocean, tsunamis have little noticeable amplitude, often no more than HOC24.VN 6 one or two meters. It is when they hit the shallow waters near the coast that they increase in height, possibly up to 40 meters. Tsunamis often occur in the Pacific because the Pacific is an area of heavy seismic activity. Two areas of the Pacific well accustomed to the threat of tsunamis are Japan and Hawaii. Because the seismic activity that causes tsunamis in Japan often occurs on the ocean bottom quite close to the islands, the tsunamis that hit Japan often come with little warning and can, therefore, prove disastrous. Most of the tsunamis that hit the Hawaiian Islands, however, originate thousands of miles away near the coast of Alaska, so these tsunamis have a much greater distance to travel and the inhabitants of Hawaii generally have time for warning of their imminent arrival. Tsunamis are certainly not limited to Japan and Hawaii. In 1755, Europe experienced a calamitous tsunami, when movement along the fault lines near the Azores caused a massive tsunami to sweep onto the Portuguese coast and flood the heavily populated area around Lisbon. The greatest tsunami on record occurred on the other side of the world in 1883 when the Krakatoa volcano underwent a massive explosion, sending waves more than 30 meters high onto nearby Indonesian islands; the tsunami from this volcano actually traveled around the world and was witnessed as far away as the English Channel. Question 43: The paragraph preceding this passage most probably discusses _____. A. tides B. underwater earthquakes C. storm surges D. tidal waves Question 44: According to the passage, all of the following are true about tidal waves except that _____. A. they are the same as tsunamis B. they refer to the same phenomenon as seismic sea waves C. they are caused by sudden changes in high and low tides D. this terminology is not used by the scientific community Question 45: The word “displaced” in line 6 is closet in meaning to _____.
