PART FOUR: READING COMPREHENSION (20 ms) 
A. Reading comprehension (10ms) 
The body of primitive man, a faraway and primitive man called Homo 
sapiens, so far as we can reconstruct from the fragmentary evidence we 
have, was exactly like our own, and his brain was as big as that of modern 
man and quite as complicated in structure. His intelligence and his ability to 
learn were probably as great as that of the average man today, but he had a 
very meager inheritance of knowledge. 
The use of tools and weapons of a primitive sort was probably passed on 
from the subhuman creatures, who had learnt how to break stones and use 
the sharp-edged pieces for cutting and scraping, and how to use a short, 
heavy stick for a club and a long, pointed one for a spear. The subhuman 
creatures knew how to make use of fire when they found it, but they did not 
know how to make it. 
They had probably also discovered the advantages of social living; that 
several families living together in a tribe could offer each other help and 
protection, and that hunters killed more game if they banded together and 
had a leader to direct the hunt. 
The discovery that social living increased the odds in favor of survival was, 
perhaps, primitive man’s greatest discovery - greater than either the 
discovery of fire or the invention of the wheel. 
1. What we know of primitive man is based upon 
A. pieces of evidence B. a great deal of evidence.

A. co-operation was necessary for survival. 
B. in prehistoric times only the strongest survived. 
C. by nature he is a social being. 
D. none of these. 
4. A direct result of primitive man’s discovery of the advantages of social 
living was a 
A. family B. tribe C. city D. nation 
5. The author believes that man’s discovery of the advantages of social 
living is 
A. significant B. insignificant C. of great significance D. well-known
