Answer 1

答案：1.C 2.C 3.A 4.C
解析：

Many centuries ago, all people lived on seeds and plants. They did not know how to farm or raise animals for food. Because they used stone tools, we call them the Stone Age People. There are people who still live much like the Stone Age people lived. They live in places that are hard to reach. Since they have met few outsiders, they don't know about modern inventions, they have not learned ways of doing .things from others. For 25000 years, such groups of people have lived alone in the middle of Australia. One of the groups is the Kooris. They do not know how to farm, nor do they raise animals. Kooris spend most of their time searching for food and water. The men hunt animals with stone-tipped spears. The women and children look for roots, seeds and nuts. Several Kooris families live together as a group. They have no houses. At night, they sleep around fires. 1. 很久以前人们不懂怎样农耕和饲养牲畜。 2. 他们居住在难以企及的地方，不见外人，也不向别人学习。C项正确。 3. 找寻食物，C项可能成为干扰项，但是他们找寻的不是种子和坚果。 4. 睡在篝火旁边。
