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 practised by mankind during the Paleolithic Period. 46. The word “domestication” in the first paragraph mostly means…………….. A. adapting animals to suit a new working environment B. hatching and raising new species of wild animals in the home C. making wild animals used to living with and working for humans D. teaching animals to do a particular job or activity in the home Trường THPT Yên phong 1 Mã đề 268 Trang 2/4

In the lower latitudes of the tropics, hunter-gatherers……………… A. can free themselves from hunting B. harvest shorter seasonal crops C. live along the coasts and waterways for fishing D. have better food gathering from nature 50. 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. further understanding of modern subsistence societies D. deeper insight into the dry-land farming 51. The word “conditions” in the second paragraph refers to……………….. A. the places where plenty of animals and fish can be found 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 situations in which hunter-gatherers hardly find anything to eat 52.

The first animated film Humurous Phases of Funny Faces, was made in 1906 by newspaper illustrator James Blackton. He filmed faces that were drawn on blackboards in progressive stages. In New York City, Winsor McCay exhibited his most famous film, Little Nemo (1910) and Gertie the Dinosaur (1914). His films featured fluid motion and characters with individual personalities. For the first time, characters drawn of life seemed to live on the screen. In 1914, John R. Bray streamlined the animation process, using assembly line techniques to turn out cartoons. By 1915, film studios began producing cartoons series. The Pat Sullivan studio produced the series featuring Felix the Cat. He became one of the most beloved characters of the silent-film era. The Max Fleischer studio produced series starring Ko-Ko the Clown and later Betty Boop and Popeye. The first cartoon with sound was Steamboat Willie (1928), which introduced Mickey Mouse. This film was produced by Walt Disney, the most famous of American animators. His early success enabled Disney to train his animators in anatomy, acting, drawing and motion studies. The results of this are apparent in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), the first full - length animated feature. It became an instant success and still remains popular. Other important Disney films followed. Warner Brothers’ Studio challenged Disney for leadership in the field with cartoons starring Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and other characters. These films were faster - paced and featured slapstick humor. In the 1950s, a group of animators splintered off from Disney and formed United Production of America, which rejected Disney’s realism and employed a bold, modernistic approach. In the 1950s, children’s cartoons began to be broadcast on Saturday morning television and, later, in prime time. Among the most successful were those made by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, such as those featuring Yogi Bear and the Flinstones. The full- length animated film became popular again in the 1980s and ‘90s. Producer Steven Spielberg released his first animated film, American tail (1986), and Disney began a series of remarkable annual hits with The Little Mermaid (1989). Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988), a joint production of Spielberg and Disney, blurred the lines between live action and animation. Animation returned to prime-time television with the Fox Network’s The Simpsons. Animators had experimented with computer animation as early as the 1950s, but Toy Story (1955) was the first-full length film to be entirely computer animated. These developments promise to bring about the most exciting era in animation since its heyday. Trường THPT Yên phong 1 Mã đề 268 Trang 3/4
