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.

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

Question 31. According to the passage, studies of contemporary subsistence societies can
provide a___.

A. further understanding of prehistoric times

B. broader vision of prehistoric natural environments
C. further understanding of modern subsistence societies
D. deeper insight into the dry-land farming

Question 32. 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

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 labor 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 who feel they are victims of an over-mechanized world.

Question 36. According to the passage, Chaplin got the idea for Modern Times from ______.
A. a movie B. a conversation C. a newspaper D. fieldwork

Question 37. The young farm boys went to the city because they were ______.
A. promised better accommodation B. driven out of their sheep farm
C. attracted by the prospect of a better life D. forced to leave their sheep farm

Question 38. The phrase “jostling one another” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to
“______”.

A. jogging side by side B. pushing one another
C. hurrying up together D. running against each other

Question 39. According to the passage, the opening scene of the film is intended ______.

A. to reveal the situation of the factory workers B. to introduce the main characters of the
film

C. to produce a tacit association D. to give the setting for the entire plot later
Question 40. The word “vainly” in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to “______”.

A. recklessly B. carelessly C. hopelessly D. effortlessly
