correct answer to each of the questions from 1 to 10.
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 practisedfor at least the last two million years. It was,
indeed, the only way to obtain fooduntil rudimentary farming and the domesticationof 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 marginalenvironments, such as deserts
and arctic wastelands. In higher latitudes, the shorter growing seasons have restricted the availability
of plant life. Suchconditionshave caused a greater dependence on hunting, and on fishing along the
coasts and waterways. The abundance of vegetation inthe 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.

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. Trang 4/6 - Mã đề thi 318 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-mechanised world.

A. fieldwork B. a conversation C. a newspaper D. a movie Question 57: The young farm boys went to the city because they were ______.

A. to produce a tacit association B. to introduce the main characters of the film C. to give the setting for the entire plot later D. to reveal the situation of the factory workers Question 60: The word “vainly” in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to “______”.
