Some functions result directly from the ingenuity of thecitizenry, but most functions result from the needs of the local area and of the surrounding hinterland (the region thatsupplies goods to the city and to which the city furnishes services and other goods). Geographers often make a distinctionbetween the situation and the site of a city. Situation refers to the general position in relation to the surrounding region,whereas site involves physical characteristics of the specific location. Situation is normally much more important to thecontinuing prosperity of a city. If a city is well situated in regard to its hinterland, its development is much more likely tocontinue. Chicago, for example, possesses an almost unparalleled situation: it is located at the southern end of a huge

lake that forces east-west transportation lines to be compressed into its vicinity, and at a meeting of significant land andwater transport routes. It also overlooks what is one of the world’s finest large farming regions. These factors ensuredthat Chicago would become a great city regardless of the disadvantageous characteristics of the available site, such asbeing prone to flooding during thunderstorm activity.Similarly, it can be argued that much of New York City’s importance stems from its early and continuing advantage ofsituation. Philadelphia and Boston both originated at about the same time as New York and shared New York’s location atthe western end of one of the world’s most important oceanic trade routes, but only New York possesses an easy-accessfunctional connection (the Hudson-Mohawk Lowland) to the vast Midwestern Hinterland. This account does not aloneexplain New York’s primacy, but it does include several important factors. Among the many aspects of situation that helpto explain why some cities grow and others do not, original location on a navigable waterway seems particularlyapplicable. Of course, such characteristic as slope, drainage, power resources, river crossings, coastal shapes, and otherphysical characteristics help to determine city location, but such factors are normally more significant in early stages ofcity development than later.Question 45: What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The development of trade routes through United States cities.B. Contrasts in settlement patterns in United States.C. Historical differences among three large United States cities.D. The importance of geographical situation in the growth of United States cities.Question 46: The word “ingenuity” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _____.A. wealth B. resourcefulness C. traditions D. organizationQuestion 47: According to the passage, a city’s situation is more important than its site in regard to the city’s _____.A. long-term growth and prosperity B. ability to protect its citizenryC. possession of favorable weather conditions D. need to import food suppliesQuestion 48: The author mentions each of the following as an advantage of Chicago’s location EXCEPT its _____.A. hinterland B. nearness to a large lakeC. flat terrain D. position in regard to transport routesQuestion 49: The word “characteristics” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _____.A. choices B. attitudes C. qualities D. inhabitantsPursue passions until success was no longer just a dream Sam – English teacherHotline : 0976882626Facebook : Luyện thi đại học môn tiếng anh cùng SAM 4Question 50: The primary purpose of paragraph 1 is to _____.A. summarize past research and introduce a new studyB. describe a historical periodC. emphasize the advantages of one theory over another

In fact, however, it is only one of the sciences of humans, bringing togetherthose disciplines the common aims of which are to describe human beings and explain them on the basis of the biological and culturalcharacteristics of the populations among which they are distributed and to emphasize, through time, the differences and variationsof these populations. The concept of race, on the one hand, and that of culture, on the other, have received special attention; andalthough their meaning is still subject to debate, these terms are doubtless the most common of those in the anthropologist'svocabulary.Anthropology, which is concerned with the study of human differences, was born after the Age of Discovery had opened upsocieties that had remained outside the technological civilization of the modern West. In fact, the field of research was at firstrestricted to those societies that had been given one unsatisfactory label after another, "savage," "primitive," "tribal," "traditional," or even"preliterate," "pre-historical," and so on. What such societies had in common, above all, was being the most "different" or the mostforeign to the anthropologist; and in the early phases of anthropology, the anthropologists were always European or NorthAmerican. The distance between the researcher and the object of his study has been a characteristic of anthropologicalresearch; it has been said of the anthropologist that he was the "astronomer of the sciences of man."Anthropologists today study more than just primitive societies. Their research extends not only to village communitieswithin modern societies but also to cities, even to industrial enterprises. Nevertheless, anthropology's first field of research, andthe one that perhaps remains the most important, shaped its specific point of view with regard to the other sciences of man anddefined its theme. If, in particular, it is concerned with generalizing about patterns of human behavior seen in all theirdimensions and with achieving a total description of social and cultural phenomena, this is because anthropology has observed

small-scale societies, which are simpler or at least more homogeneous than modern societies and which change at a slower pace.Thus they are easier to see whole.What has just been said refers especially to the branch of anthropology concerned with the cultural characteristics ofman? Anthropology has, in fact, gradually divided itself into two major spheres, the study of man's biologicalcharacteristics and the study of his cultural characteristics. The reasons for this split are manifold, one being the rejection of theinitial mistakes regarding correlations between race and culture. More generally speaking, the vast field of 19th centuryanthropology was subdivided into a series of increasingly specialized disciplines, using their own methods and techniques, thatwere given different labels according to national traditions.Question 55: According to the passage, anthropology is most likely defined as the study of______.A. the biological and cultural characteristics of human beings B. one of the sciences of humansC. the lives of peoples all over the world D. the distribution of human beings the world overQuestion 56: Which of the following is NOT stated in the passage?A.
