Happy Returns‟ or „Best Wishes for a Happy Birthday‟.

IX/ ( ID: 85616) Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate 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 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. 
Câu 61: 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 
Câu 62: According to the passage, subsistence societies depend mainly on ________. 
A. hunter-gatherers‟ tools B. nature‟s provision C. farming methods D. agricultural products 
Câu 63: The word “marginal” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to “________” 
A. disadvantaged B. suburban C. forgotten D. abandoned 
Câu 64: 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
