Read the article and check your guesses
New evidence found by Russian archaeologists suggests that humans may have lived in the rugged lands of Arctic Siberia much earlier than previously thought. The discovery of central hunting tools along the Yana River in central Siberia has added at least another 15,000 tears to the previous date. Human occupation of this area could now go as far back as 30,000 years ago.
Dr Vladimir Pitulko of St Petersburg led a team of scientists who discovered the site. Uncovered were stone and ivory tools which included spear tips made of rhinoceros horn and mammoth tusk. The surprise findings indicate that humans were able to survive in harsh conditions during glacial times in this particular part of Siberia while the east of the Northern Hemisphere was entombed in ice.
Scientists are also trying to make connections between the existence of these humans in Siberia and the Clovis who are considered the first humans in North America. The similarity of the tools found in both areas suggests the possibility that at some point the people in Siberia made their way across from Asia to the Americas. Some scientists see this as evidence to explain the peopling of the Americas via Bering Land Bridge.

VII. Обучение грамматической стороне:
Let’s take grammar material: modal verbs – expressing degrees of probability in the past:
must
may / might
can / could
can’t / couldn’t
to say if something was true, probable, possible or impossible in the past.
People must have lived in Siberia in prehistoric times. | Должно быть, люди жили в Сибири в доисторическое время | You are absolutely certain that something is true. | 99% |
People may / might have lived in Siberia in prehistoric times. | Вероятно, люди жили в Сибири в доисторическое время | You think something has a good possibility of being true. | 50% |
People can / could have lived in Siberia in prehistoric times. | Возможно, люди жили в Сибири в доисторическое время | There is a possibility that something is true. NB: This form is not as strong as might or may. |
25% |
People can’t / couldn’t have lived in Siberia in prehistoric times. | Не может быть, чтобы люди жили в Сибири в доисторическое время | You are absolutely certain that something is NOT true. | 0% |
Use must, may / might, can / could or can’t / couldn’t plus the correct form of the verb in these sentences.
- Where was Peter yesterday? He … (be) at school. The school year started a week ago.
- I’m absolutely sure! They … (arrive) yesterday. I saw their tickets.
- The course … (begin) on the fifth of September but I’m not so certain about it.
- Are you joking! Nick … (go) to Moscow last week. He’s supposed to be at work now.
- They … (come from) London, but I’m not sure.
- We … (take) the wrong turn. We should be there by now.
- They … (miss) their train. Otherwise they would be here by now.

The opening is too small.
