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 from 43 to 52.
Human Nutrition is the study of how food affects the health and survival of the human body. Human
beings require food to grow, reproduce, and maintain good health. Without food, our bodies could not
stay warm, build or repair tissue, or maintain the heartbeat. Eating the right foods can help us avoid
certain diseases or recover faster when illness occurs. These and other important functions are fueled by
chemical substances in our food called nutrients. Nutrients are classified as carbohydrates, proteins, fats,
vitamins, minerals, and water.
When we eat a meal, nutrients are released from food through digestion. Digestion begins in the
mouth by the action of chewing and the chemical activity of saliva, a watery fluid that contains enzymes,
certain proteins that help break down food. Further digestion occurs as food travels through the stomach
and the small intestine, where digestive enzymes and acids liquefy food and muscle contractions push it
along the digestive tract. Nutrients are absorbed from the inside of the small intestine into the
bloodstream and carried to the sites in the body where they are needed. At these sites, several chemical

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.
Question 55: A typical feature of both modern and prehistoric hunter-gatherers is that ____________.
A. they don't have a healthy and balanced diet B. they live in the forests for all their life
C. they don't have a strong sense of community D. they often change their living places
Question 56: The word "marginal" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ____________.
A. suburban
B. disadvantaged
C. forgotten
D. abandoned
Question 57: According to the passage, studies of contemporary subsistence societies can provide a

B. Hunting or fishing develops where there are no or short growing seasons.
C. The number of hunter-gatherers decreases where farming is convenient.
D. Harvesting from the natural environment had existed long before farming was taken up.
Question 63: The word "conditions" in the second paragraph refers to ____________.
A. the situations in which hunter-gatherers hardly find anything to eat
B. the places where plenty of animals and fish can be found
C. the environments where it is not favorable for vegetation to grow
D. the situations in which hunter-gatherers can grow some crops
