37、Three ：Reading Comprehension63 Hunting is at best a precarious way of procuring food, even when the diet is supplemented withseeds and fruits. Not long after the last Ice Age, around 7,000 B.C. (during the Neolithic period),some hunters and gatherers began to rely chiefly on agriculture for their su
38、stenance. Otherscontinued the old pastoral and nomadic ways. Indeed, agriculture itself evolved over the courseof(5) time, and Neolithic peoples had long known how to grow crops. The real transformation of humanlife occurred when huge numbers of people began to rely primarily and permanently on the
39、grainthey grew and the animals they domesticated.Agriculture made possible a more stable and secure life. With it Neolithic peoples flourished,fashioning an energetic, creative era. They were responsible for many fundamental inventions and(10) innovations that the modern world takes for granted. Fir
40、st, obviously, is systematic agriculture-that is, the reliance of Neolithic peoples on agriculture as their primary, not/nerely subsidiary,source of food.Thus they developed the primary economic activity of the entire ancient world and the basis of allmodern life. With the settled routine of Neolith
41、ic farmers came the evolution of towns and(15) eventually cities. Neolithic farmers usually raised more food than they could consume, and theirsurpluses permitted larger, healthier populations. Population growth in turn created an evengreater reliance on settled farming, as only systematic agricultu
42、re could sustain the increasednumbers of people. Since surpluses o food could also be bartered for other commodities, theNeolithic era witnessed ihe beginnings of large-scale exchange of goods. In time the increasing(20) complexity of Neolithic societies led to the development of writing, prompted b
43、y the need to keeprecords and later by the urge to chronicle experiences, learning, and beliefs.The transition to settled life also had a profound impact on the family. The shared needs andpressures that encourage extended-family ties are less prominent in settled than in nomadicsocieties. Bonds to
44、the extended family weakened. In towns and cities, the nuclear family was(25) more dependent on its immediate neighbors than on kinfolk.63 What does the passage mainly discuss?（A）Why many human societies are dependent on agriculture（B） the changes agriculture brought to human life（C） How Neolithic p
