[FONT="]I. Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions that follow. [/FONT]
[FONT="] Write your answer A, B, C or D in the space given on the right. (5 pts)[/FONT]
[FONT="]Before history was written, people needed to search for food. Perhaps it was then that family divided up the work. The male, who could throw and run better than woman, became hunters. The females stayed at home to take care of the children and to gather food from nature. No one knows how, but slowly human beings became able to control their food sources.[/FONT]
[FONT="]The first animals were tamed. Perhaps human beings chose a friend like the dog first, or may be the dog chose human beings. Or perhaps someone thought of domesticating a source of food first. An egg-producing bird like a chicken or duck might have been the first to be tamed. On the other hand, someone might have thought of domesticating a producer of milk like goat.[/FONT]
[FONT="]When was the first land cleared for agriculture? How did it happen? We can only guess. Perhaps as women were gathering nuts or berries, they cleared away the thorny branches because it would be easy to collect the fruits. They were really clearing a field. There is another possible explanation of how farming started; it might have been an accident. Perhaps a container of grass seeds spilled in an open area. The next season that open area flowered as a wheat field. Some might have remembered the accident and repeated it on purpose.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Someone else might have noticed another natural crop and copied it. For example, wild rice grows along the edges of rivers. It is easy to gather the crop. Someone might have planned another crop so that it would be easy to harvest.[/FONT]
[FONT="]We can never know how farming started. In the day before history was written, there were unlimited ways to improve. Human beings also had many reasons to look for better ways of getting food. There were many children to feed, and agriculture was an easier way to stay alive.[/FONT]

[FONT="]A. Women do not run as well as men can.[/FONT]
[FONT="]B. Children had to gather food near their homes.[/FONT]
[FONT="]C. People learn to control food sources before history was written.[/FONT]

[FONT="]A. the dog as a useful animal B. taming animals[/FONT]

[FONT="]3. [/FONT][FONT="]The main idea of paragraph 3 is that agriculture probably started because _____. _________[/FONT]
[FONT="]A. grass seeds grow into wheat. B. people thought carefully about the way to stop a problem.[/FONT]
[FONT="]C. someone made a good guess. D. clearing away branches made gathering easier.[/FONT]
[FONT="]4. [/FONT][FONT="]The main idea of paragraph 4 is that _____. _________[/FONT]
[FONT="]A. wild rice is good model for agriculture. B. wild rice is easy to gather[/FONT]
[FONT="]C. people like wild rice. D. crop like wild rice is natural.[/FONT]
[FONT="]5. [/FONT][FONT="]What is the main idea of paragraph 5? _________[/FONT]
[FONT="]A. The number of children was increasing fast. B. People needed to learn ways to get more food.[/FONT]
[FONT="]C. People really needed to learn how to write. D. Agriculture was so bad that anything would improve it.[/FONT]

[FONT="]I. Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions that follow. [/FONT]
[FONT="] Write your answer A, B, C or D in the space given on the right. (5 pts)[/FONT]
[FONT="]Before history was written, people needed to search for food. Perhaps it was then that family divided up the work. The male, who could throw and run better than woman, became hunters. The females stayed at home to take care of the children and to gather food from nature. No one knows how, but slowly human beings became able to control their food sources.[/FONT]
[FONT="]The first animals were tamed. Perhaps human beings chose a friend like the dog first, or may be the dog chose human beings. Or perhaps someone thought of domesticating a source of food first. An egg-producing bird like a chicken or duck might have been the first to be tamed. On the other hand, someone might have thought of domesticating a producer of milk like goat.[/FONT]
[FONT="]When was the first land cleared for agriculture? How did it happen? We can only guess. Perhaps as women were gathering nuts or berries, they cleared away the thorny branches because it would be easy to collect the fruits. They were really clearing a field. There is another possible explanation of how farming started; it might have been an accident. Perhaps a container of grass seeds spilled in an open area. The next season that open area flowered as a wheat field. Some might have remembered the accident and repeated it on purpose.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Someone else might have noticed another natural crop and copied it. For example, wild rice grows along the edges of rivers. It is easy to gather the crop. Someone might have planned another crop so that it would be easy to harvest.[/FONT]
[FONT="]We can never know how farming started. In the day before history was written, there were unlimited ways to improve. Human beings also had many reasons to look for better ways of getting food. There were many children to feed, and agriculture was an easier way to stay alive.[/FONT]
[FONT="]1. [/FONT][FONT="]Which is the main idea of paragraph one? _________[/FONT]
[FONT="]A. Women do not run as well as men can.[/FONT]
[FONT="]B. Children had to gather food near their homes.[/FONT]
[FONT="]C. People learn to control food sources before history was written.[/FONT]
[FONT="]D. People had to search for food before they could learn to write.[/FONT]

[FONT="]A. the dog as a useful animal B. taming animals[/FONT]
[FONT="]C. which birds produce eggs D. goat milk[/FONT]
[FONT="]3. [/FONT][FONT="]The main idea of paragraph 3 is that agriculture probably started because _____. _________[/FONT]
[FONT="]A. grass seeds grow into wheat. B. people thought carefully about the way to stop a problem.[/FONT]
[FONT="]C. someone made a good guess. D. clearing away branches made gathering easier.[/FONT]
[FONT="]4. [/FONT][FONT="]The main idea of paragraph 4 is that _____. _________[/FONT]
[FONT="]A. wild rice is good model for agriculture. B. wild rice is easy to gather[/FONT]
[FONT="]C. people like wild rice. D. crop like wild rice is natural.[/FONT]
[FONT="]5. [/FONT][FONT="]What is the main idea of paragraph 5? _________[/FONT]
[FONT="]A. The number of children was increasing fast. B. People needed to learn ways to get more food.[/FONT]
[FONT="]C. People really needed to learn how to write. D. Agriculture was so bad that anything would improve it.[/FONT]
