PRACTICE EXAM:
The Change to Agriculture
Approximately ten thousand years ago,a radical change took place in the way people lived,significantly altering their lives. (46)Ancient peoples abandoned the traditional methods of hunting and gathering their food,which required an arduous seasonal migration.Instead,(47)they domesticated the plants and animals they needed for surving.(48)
The shift to(49) domestication and a sedentary lifestyle wrought great change.Lost to us is the knowledge of whether or not (50) the lifestyle change itself gave rise to new technologies (or at least improvements and adaptations of the way things had been done) or whether the development of new technologies made the lifestyle shift possible.
What is known is (51)that after the initial adaptations,the two have seemed to move in tandem ever since.For example,a given area of land could now support more people than were (52)ever before possible .More people in a given area made fingding a mate easier,and more children had been born and lived longer(53).Thus,the ability of the land to support more people ineluctably led to more people in the area.
Agriculture necessitated the storage of seed stock, the division of labor,and allocating (54) land.The increased populace could now be put into productive service working (55) additional land,producing additional food,and providing more varied services.Economies of scale led to an increase specialization of crop,which in turn led to an increased need for other specialized products.
As each region became more specialized in what they produced,the need (56) for greater trade and communication intensified.The popution in each area became situated around natural,centrally located pionts,which (57)development into the first cities.It became necessary to organize the increasingly complex and complicated (58)economic relationships and to develop a structure capable to deal (59)with the many societal changes. Thus, a centrally located (60)authority developed,giving rise to some of the first real governments.
