Read the following passage and choose the correct answer 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.
Question 28: 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
Question 29: According to the passage, subsistence societies depend mainly on______.
A. agricultural products B. hunter-gatherers’ tools
C. nature’s provision D. farming methods
Question 30: 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
Question 31: 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
Question 32: According to the author, most contemporary and prehistoric hunter-gatherers share______.
A. only the way of duty division B. some restricted daily rules
C. some methods of production D. some patterns of behavior

Family types vary in different countries and among different cultures. In Western, industrialized societies, the nuclear
family is the most common family type. It consists of a father, a mother and their children. But nuclear families exist
alongside many other types of family units. In the single- parent family, for example, a mother or a father heads the
family alone. A blended family is formed when a divorced or widowed parent remarries. As divorce rates have risen, the
number of single- parent and blended families has increased.
In many parts of the world, parents and children live together with other family members under the same roof. These
complex families usually contain several generations of family members, including grandparents, parents and children.
They may also include brothers or sisters and their families, uncles, aunts and cousins. Even when relatives do not live
together, they still consider themselves members of the same extended family. In Latin American and Hispanic American
cultures, the extended family includes grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins.
