| TERM EXAMINATIONCities began to evolve in prehistoric times when groups of nomadic hunters and foragers developed an agricultural life. In order to protect themselves and their food supplies from raids by predatory nomads, they built their dwellings within a walled area or in a naturally fortified place. Because the availability of water was also an important consideration, these settlements were usually located along a river. Such settlements led to specialization and the division of work. Markets, in which artisans could barter their specialties for other types of goods, developed. A growing priesthood contributed to intellectual life. Consequently, cities were responsible not only for the rise of commerce and industry but also of art and learning, and they played an essential role in the emergence of all great civilizations. Among the most notable cities of the ancient world were, in the order of their development, Thebes, Memphis, Babylon, Nineveh, Carthage, and Jerusalem. Alexandria is said to have contained more than 500,000 inhabitants, and Rome was still larger.A)COMPREHENSION AND INTERPRETATION1/ Give a suitable title to the text.2/ Tick the ideas expressed in the text.- Examples of ancient cities.- Ancient city dwellers and their pride of their kings.- Emergence of ancient cities.- Where ancient cities were built and what for.- Agriculture in ancient cities.- Economic activities of ancient city dwellers.3/ Answer the questions according to the text.a) When did cities emerge? b) Where were cities built? c) What activities did people perform to earn their living?4/ Circle the best answer. - In prehistoric times, people built cities in fortified areas so as to...................................... a- live together b- do business c- To protect themselves from enemies, 5/ Find, in the text, words close in meaning to the following.
