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.
Probably the most famous film commenting on the twentieth-century technology is Modern Times, made in 1936. Charlie
Chaplin was motivated to make the film by a reporter who, while interviewing him, happened to describe the working
conditions in industrial Detroit. Chaplin was told that healthy young farm boys were lured to the city to work on automotive
assembly lines. Within four or five years, these young men’s health was destroyed by the stress of work in the factories.
The film opens with a shot of a mass of sheep making their way down a crowded ramp.
Abruptly, the film shifts to a scene of factory workers jostling one another on their way to a factory. However, the rather
bitter note of criticism in the implied comparison is not sustained. It is replaced by a gentle note of satire. Chaplin prefers to
entertain rather than lecture.



Scenes of factory interiors account for only about one-third of Modern Times, but they contain some of the most pointed
social commentary as well as the most comic situations. No one who has seen the film can ever forget Chaplin vainly trying
to keep pace with the fast-moving conveyor belt, almost losing his mind in the process. Another popular scene involves an
automatic feeding machine brought to the assembly line so that workers need not interrupt their labour to eat. The feeding
machine malfunctions, hurling food at Chaplin, who is strapped in his position on the assembly line and cannot escape. This
serves to illustrate people’s utter helplessness in the face of machines that are meant to serve their basic needs.
Clearly, Modern Times has its faults, but it remains the best film treating technology within a social context. It does not
offer a radical social message, but it does accurately reflect the sentiment of many whofeel they are victims of an over
mechanized world.
Question 13: The young farm boys went to the city because they were.......

A. to give the setting for the entire plot later
B. to introduce the main characters of the film
C. to produce a tacit association

A. running against each other
B. jogging side by side
C. hurrying up together
D. pushing one another
Question 16: The word “vainly” in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to.......

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.
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 practiced by mankind during the Paleolithic Period.
Question 43: According to the passage, subsistence societies depend mainly on.......
A. agricultural products
B. hunter-gatherers’ tools
C. nature’s provision
D. farming methods
Question 44: Which of the following would serve as the best title of the passage?
A. Evolution of Humans’ Farming Methods
B. Hunter-gatherers: Always on the Move
C. Hunter-gatherers and Subsistence Societies
D. A Brief History of Subsistence Farming
Question 45: According to the author, most contemporary and prehistoric hunter-gatherers share......


A. some methods of production
B. only the way of duty division
C. some patterns of behaviour
D. some restricted daily rules
Question 46: The word “conditions” in the second paragraph refers to.......
A. the situations in which hunter-gatherers hardly find anything to eat
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 places where plenty of animals and fish can be found
Question 47: According to the passage, studies of contemporary subsistence societies can provide a.......
A. deeper insight into the dry-land farming.

B. further understanding of prehistoric times.
C. further understanding of modem subsistence societies.
D. broader vision of prehistoric natural environments.
Question 48: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned?
A. The environmental differences produce no effect on subsistence societies.
B. Hunting or fishing develops where there are no or short growing seasons.
C. Harvesting from the natural environment had existed long before farming was taken up.
D. The number of hunter-gatherers decreases where farming is convenient.
Question 49: The word “domestication” in the first paragraph mostly means.......
A. adapting animals to suit a new working environment
B. making wild animals used to living with and working for humans
C. teaching animals to do a particular job or activity in the home
D. hatching and raising new species of wild animals in the home
Question 50: In the lower latitudes of the tropics, hunter-gatherers.......
A. live along the coasts and waterways for fishing

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.
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 practiced by mankind during the Paleolithic Period.
Question 5: The word “domestication” in the first paragraph mostly means.......
A. hatching and raising new species of wild animals in the home
B. teaching animals to do a particular job or activity in the home
C. adapting animals to suit a new working environment
D. making wild animals used to living with and working for humans
Question 6: In the lower latitudes of the tropics, hunter-gatherers.......
A. live along the coasts and waterways for fishing
B. can free themselves from hunting
C. have better food gathering from nature
D. harvest shorter seasonal crops
Question 7: According to the passage, studies of contemporary subsistence societies can provide a.......
A. broader vision of prehistoric natural environments.
B. further understanding of prehistoric times.
C. deeper insight into the dry-land farming.
D. further understanding of modem subsistence societies.
Question 8: According to the passage, subsistence societies depend mainly on.......
A. hunter-gatherers’ tools
B. farming methods
C. nature’s provision
D. agricultural products
Question 9: 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 situations in which hunter-gatherers can grow some crops

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.
Probably the most famous film commenting on the twentieth-century technology is Modern Times, made in 1936. Charlie

Chaplin was motivated to make the film by a reporter who, while interviewing him, happened to describe the working
conditions in industrial Detroit. Chaplin was told that healthy young farm boys were lured to the city to work on automotive
assembly lines. Within four or five years, these young men’s health was destroyed by the stress of work in the factories.
The film opens with a shot of a mass of sheep making their way down a crowded ramp.
Abruptly, the film shifts to a scene of factory workers jostling one another on their way to a factory. However, the rather
bitter note of criticism in the implied comparison is not sustained. It is replaced by a gentle note of satire. Chaplin prefers to
entertain rather than lecture.
Scenes of factory interiors account for only about one-third of Modern Times, but they contain some of the most pointed
social commentary as well as the most comic situations. No one who has seen the film can ever forget Chaplin vainly trying
to keep pace with the fast-moving conveyor belt, almost losing his mind in the process. Another popular scene involves an
automatic feeding machine brought to the assembly line so that workers need not interrupt their labour to eat. The feeding
machine malfunctions, hurling food at Chaplin, who is strapped in his position on the assembly line and cannot escape. This
serves to illustrate people’s utter helplessness in the face of machines that are meant to serve their basic needs.
Clearly, Modern Times has its faults, but it remains the best film treating technology within a social context. It does not
offer a radical social message, but it does accurately reflect the sentiment of many whofeel they are victims of an over
mechanized world.

B. driven out of their sheep farm

A. entertains the audience most
B. is rather discouraging
C. is more critical than the rest

D. was shot outside a factory
Question 40: According to the passage, the opening scene of the film is intended.......
A. to introduce the main characters of the film
B. to produce a tacit association
C. to reveal the situation of the factory workers
D. to give the setting for the entire plot later
Question 41: The phrase “jostling one another” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to.......
A. pushing one another
B. running against each other
C. hurrying up together
D. jogging side by side

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.
Probably the most famous film commenting on the twentieth-century technology is Modern Times, made in 1936. Charlie
Chaplin was motivated to make the film by a reporter who, while interviewing him, happened to describe the working

conditions in industrial Detroit. Chaplin was told that healthy young farm boys were lured to the city to work on automotive
assembly lines. Within four or five years, these young men’s health was destroyed by the stress of work in the factories.
The film opens with a shot of a mass of sheep making their way down a crowded ramp.
Abruptly, the film shifts to a scene of factory workers jostling one another on their way to a factory. However, the rather
bitter note of criticism in the implied comparison is not sustained. It is replaced by a gentle note of satire. Chaplin prefers to
entertain rather than lecture.
Scenes of factory interiors account for only about one-third of Modern Times, but they contain some of the most pointed
social commentary as well as the most comic situations. No one who has seen the film can ever forget Chaplin vainly trying
to keep pace with the fast-moving conveyor belt, almost losing his mind in the process. Another popular scene involves an
automatic feeding machine brought to the assembly line so that workers need not interrupt their labour to eat. The feeding
machine malfunctions, hurling food at Chaplin, who is strapped in his position on the assembly line and cannot escape. This
serves to illustrate people’s utter helplessness in the face of machines that are meant to serve their basic needs.
Clearly, Modern Times has its faults, but it remains the best film treating technology within a social context. It does not
offer a radical social message, but it does accurately reflect the sentiment of many whofeel they are victims of an over
mechanized world.

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.
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 practiced by mankind during the Paleolithic Period.
