Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
Native Americans have been living in what is now the United States of America since long before
any Europeans came. They are not just a single group of people – there are many different tribes of
Native Americans. Different Native American groups have different languages, religious beliefs, and ways of living, or folkways.
You can see just how different Native American groups can be by comparing one to another. Look
at the Hopi people. The Hopi are Native Americans who come from what is now the American
Southwest. When the Spanish came to America in the 16th century and found the Hopi people, they
nicknamed them “pueblo people” because Hopi people didn’t move around much – they lived together in
what amounted to towns. Pueblo is a Spanish word that means “town”. The Hopi have always have been Trang 3


a very peaceful people. Their name comes from the term Hopituh Shi-nu-mu, which means, in the Hopi
language, “The peaceful People” or “Peaceful Little Ones”.
Now compare the Hopi to Navajo. The Navajo come from the same general area as the Hopi. But
instead of being a “pueblo people”, instead of staying in one place, they moved around. They didn’t live
in permanent towns like the Hopi. They were a “semi-nomadic” people. While the Hopi were historically
known for farming, the Navajo were known for hunting and gathering. After they met the Spanish, the
Navajo became known for herding sheep. The Hopi, not so much.
The Hopi and the Navajo were, and are, two very distinct groups of people, and they come from the
same part of the continent! So think about how much other tribes from other parts of the continent might differ.
For thousands of years the Chinook have lived near the coast of the Pacific Ocean. They were
known, and are still known, for being skilled fishers. The Chinook would make huge dug-out canoes, and
the fish that they caught most often was salmon. The salmon was a very important food source for the
Chinook, and it plays a large role in the Chinook sense of identity.
All the way across the country, over in what is now Maine, the Penobscot also derive meaning and
a sense of identity from the animals they hunt. But they are completely different animals: beavers, otters, moose, bears, and caribou.
Today, there may not be as many thriving Native American tribes as there used to be but there are
more than a few. The United States of America federally recognizes more than 500 different Native
American tribes. When a tribe is federally recognized, it means that tribe may form its own government
with its own laws, taxes, rules. There are also about 400 non-federally recognized tribes. All I all, there
are about 1000 different groups of Native American people in the United States, and each group is unique.
Question 31. How long have Native Americans been living in America? A. a few decades
B. since after the arrival of Europeans
C. about the same time as the Europeans
D. since long before any Europeans came
Question 32. Why dose the author compare different Native American tribes throughout the passage?
A. to show that they all come from the same region of North America
B. to show how different Native America tribes can be
C. to show the different ways Native American tribes found food
D. to show the traveling patterns of different Native American tribes
Question 33. Read the sentence: “The Hopi and the Navajo were, and are, two very distinct groups of
people, and they come from the same part of the continent! So think about how much other tribes from
other parts of the continent might differ.” What dose the author suggest with this information?
A. The Hopi and Navajo tribes are extremely unusual tribes.
B. Native American tribes from different parts of the continent may be similar to the Hopi and Navajo. Trang 4
