correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 45.
The Stone Age was a period of history which began in approximately 2 million B.C. and lasted
until 3000 B.C. Its name was derived from the stone tools and weapons that modern scientists found.
This period was divided into the Paleolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic Ages. During the first period (2
million to 8000 B.C.), the first hatchet and use of fire for heating and cooking were developed. As a result
of the Ice Age, which evolved about 1 million years into the Paleolithic Age, people were forced to seek
shelter in caves, wear clothing, and develop new tools.
During the Mesolithic Age (8000 to 6000 B.C.), people made crude pottery and the first fish
hooks, took dogs hunting, and developed the bow and arrow, which were used until the fourteenth century
A.D.
The Neolithic Age (6000 to 3000 B.C.) saw humankind domesticating sheep, goats, pigs and
cattle, being less nomadic than in previous eras, establishing permanent settlements, and creating
governments.
Question 36: Into how many periods was the Stone Age divided?
A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5

Question 37: In paragraph 1, the word “derived” is closest in meaning to _____.
A. originated B. destroyed C. discussed D. discovered

after his arrival in Berlin had first found work as a photographer. He later left Germany and moved to

M· ®Ò thi 175
In 1936 after the breakout of the Spanish Civil war Capa went to Spain and it was here over the
next three years that he built his reputation as a war photographer. It was here too in 1936 that he took
one of the most famous pictures, The Death of a Loyalist Soldier. One of Capa’s most famous quotes was
“If your pictures aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough.” And he took his attitude of getting close
to the action to an extreme. His photograph, The Death of a Loyalist Soldier, is a prime example of this as
Capa captures the very moment the soldier falls. Though many have questioned the authenticity of this
photograph, claiming that it was staged.
When World War II broke out, Capa was in New York, but he was soon back in Europe covering
the war for Life magazine. Some of his most famous work was created on 6
th
June 1944 when he swam
ashore with the first assault on Omaha Beach in the D-Day invasion of Normandy. Capa, armed only with
two cameras, took more than one hundred photographs in the first hour of the landing, but a mistake in
the darkroom during the drying of the film destroyed all but eight frames. It was the images from these
frames however that inspired the visual style of Steven Spielberg’s Oscar winning movie “Saving Private
Ryan”. When Life magazine published the photographs, they claimed that they were slightly out of focus,
and Capa later used this as the title of his autobiographical account of the war.
Capa’s private life was no less dramatic. He was friend to many of Hollywood’s directors, actors

and actresses. In 1943 he felt in love with the wife of actor John Austin. His affair with her lasted until the
end of the war and became the subject of his war memoirs. He was at one time lover to actress Ingrid
Bergman. Their relationship finally ended in 1946 when he refused to settle in Hollywood and went off to
Turkey.
In 1947 Capa was among a group of photojournalists who founded Magnum Photos. This was a
co-operative organisation set up to support photographers and help them to retain ownership of the
copyright to their work.
Capa went on to document many other wars. He never attempted to glamorise war though, but to
record the horror. He once said, “The desire of any war photographer is to put out of business.”
