Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D 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, however, is not
only the oldest known subsistence strategy, but also the one that has been practiced continuously in some
parts of the world for at least the last two million years. It was, indeed, the only way to obtain food until
rudimentary farming and very crude methods for the domestication of animals were introduced about
10,000 years ago.
Because hunter-gathers have fared poorly in comparison with their agricultural cousins, their numbers
have dwindled, and they have been forced to live in the marginal wastelands. In higher latitudes, the shorter
growing season has restricted the availability of plant life. Such conditions have caused a greater
dependence on hunting and, along the coasts and waterways, of 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 environment 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 a society based on hunting and
gathering must be very mobile. Following the food supply can be a way of life. If a particular kind of wild
herding animal is the basis of the food for a group of people, those people must move to stay within reach of
those animals. For many of the native people of the great central plains of North America, following the

buffalo, who were in turn following the growth of grazing foods, determining their way of life.
For gathering societies, seasonal changes mean a great deal. 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 a seasonal migration

Although only a small percentage of the electromagnetic radiation that is emitted by the Sun is ultraviolet
(UV) radiation, the amount that is emitted would be enough to cause severe damage to most forms of life on
Earth were it all to reach the surface of the Earth. Fortunately, all of the Sun’s ultraviolet radiation does not

reach the Earth because of a layer of oxygen, called the ozone layer, encircling the Earth in the stratosphere
at an altitude of about 15 miles above the Earth. The ozone layer absorbs much of the Sun’s ultraviolet
radiation and prevents it from reaching the Earth.
Ozone is a form of oxygen in which each molecule consists of three atoms (O3) instead of the two atoms
(O2) usually found in an oxygen molecule. Ozone forms in the stratosphere in a process that is initiated by
ultraviolet radiation from the Sun. UV radiation from the Sun splits oxygen molecules with two atoms
into free oxygen atoms, and each of these unattached oxygen atoms then joins up with an oxygen molecule
to form ozone. UV radiation is also capable of splitting up ozone molecules; thus, ozone is constantly
forming, splitting and reforming in the stratosphere. When UV radiation is absorbed during the process of
ozone formation and reformation, it is unable to reach Earth and cause damage there.
Recently, however, the ozone layer over parts of the Earth has been diminishing. Chief among the culprits in
the case of the disappearing ozone, those that are really responsible, are the chloroflurocarbons (CFCs).
CFCs meander up from the Earth into the stratosphere, where they break down and release chlorine. The
released chlorine reacts with ozone in the stratosphere to form chlorine monoxide (CIO) and oxygen (O 2).
The chlorine then becomes free to go through the cycle over and over again. One chlorine atom can, in fact,
destroy hundreds of thousands of ozone molecules in this repetition cycle, and the effects of this destructive
process are now becoming evident.
