V. ( ID: 88357 ) Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet
to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions.
A fold culture is small, isolated, cohesive, conservative, nearly self-sufficient group that is homogeneous
in custom and race, with a strong family or clan structure and highly developed rituals. Order is
maintained through sanctions based in the religion or family, and interpersonal relationships are strong.
Tradition is paramount, and change comes infrequently and slowly. There is relatively little division of
labor into specialized duties. Rather, each person is expected to perform a great variety of tasks, though
duties may differ between the sexes. Most goods are handmade, and a subsistence economy prevails.
Individualism is weakly developed in folk cultures, as are social classes. Unaltered folk cultures no longer
exist in industrialized countries such as the United States and Canada. Perhaps the nearest modern
equivalent in Anglo-America is the Amish, a German American farming sect that largely renounces the
products and labor saving devices of the industrial age. In Amish areas, horse-drawn buggies till serve as
a local transportation device, and the faithful are not permitted to own automobiles. The Amish’s central
religious concept of Demut, “humility”, clearly reflects the weakness of individualism and social class so
typical of folk cultures, and there is a corresponding strength of Amish group identity. Rarely do the
Amish marry outside their sect. The religion, a variety of the Mennonite faith, provides the principal
mechanism for maintaining order.

By contrast, a popular culture is a large heterogeneous group, often highly individualistic and constantly
changing. Relationships tend to be impersonal, and a pronounced division of labor exists, leading to the
establishment of many specialized professions. Secular institutions, of control such as the police and army
take the place of religion and family in maintaining order, and a money-based economy prevails. Because
of these contrasts, “popular” may be viewed as clearly different from “folk”.
The popular is replacing the folk in industrialized countries and in many developing nations, Folk- made
objects give way to their popular equivalent, usually because the popular item is more quickly or cheaply

produced, is easier or time saving to use, or lends more prestige to the owner.

B: Two decades in modern society

IX. ( ID: 88405 ) Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet
to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions.
Global warming could cause drought and possibly famine in China, the source of much of Hong Kong’s
food, by 2050, a new report predicts. Hong Kong could also be at risk from flooding as sea levels rose.
The report recommends building sea-walls around low-lying areas such as the new port and airport
reclamations. Published by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), the report, which includes work by
members of the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, uses the most recent projections on
climate change to point to a gloomy outlook for China.
By 2050, about 30 to 40 per cent of the country will experience changes in the type of vegetation it
supports, with tropical and subtropical forest conditions shifting northward and hot desert conditions
rising in the west where currently the desert is temperate. Crop-growing areas will expand but any benefit
is expected to be negated by increased evaporation of moisture, making it too dry to grow crops such as
rice. The growing season also is expected to alter, becoming shorter in southern and central China, the
mainland’s breadbasket. The rapid changes make it unlikely that plants could adapt.
“China will produce smaller crops. In the central and northern areas, and the southern part, there will be
decreased production because of water limitations”, Dr. RikLeemans, one of the authors of the report,
said during a brief visit to the territory yesterday. Famine could result because of the demands of feeding
the population - particularly if it grows - and the diminished productivity of the land. “It looks very
difficult for the world as a whole”, he said.
Global warming is caused by the burning of large amounts of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, which

release gases that trap heal in the atmosphere. World temperatures already have increased this century by
about 6 degrees Celsius and are projected to rise by between 1.6 degrees and 3.8 degrees by 2100.
Dr. Leemans said China’s reliance on coal-fired power for its industrial growth did not bode well for the
world climate. “I think the political and economic powers in China are much greater than the
environmental powers, and [greenhouse gas emissions] could accelerate,” Dr. Leemans said. “China is
not taking the problem seriously yet, although it is trying to incorporate this kind of research to see what
is going to happen.”
The climate change repot, which will be released tomorrow, focuses on China but Mr. David Melville of
WWF-Hong Kong said some of the depressing scenarios could apply to the territory. Food supplies, for
instance, could be affected by lower crop yields. “Maybe we could afford to import food from elsewhere
but you have to keep in mind that the type of changes experienced in southern China will take place
elsewhere as well,” he said. Sea levels could rise as glaciers melted and the higher temperatures expanded
the size of the oceans, threatening much of developed Hong Kong which is built on reclaimed land.

Current projections are that sea levels worldwide will rise by 15 to 90 centimetres by 2100, depending on
whether action is taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
“Hong Kong has substantial areas built on reclaimed land and sea level rises could impact on that, not
only on Chek Lap Kok but the West Kowloon Reclamation and the Central and Western Reclamation -
the whole lot,” Mr. Melville said, adding that sea walls would be needed. Depleted fresh water supplies
would be another problem because increased evaporation would reduce levels. Mr. Melville said the
general outlook could be helped if Hong Kong used water less wastefully and encouraged energy
efficiency to reduce fuel-burning. He also called on the West to help China improve its efficiency.
Question 71.Overall, what sort of picture is painted of the future effects of global warming?
A: on balance things are going to be satisfactory
B: potentially disastrous
C: relatively optimistic
D: disastrous
Question 72.What is this passage?
A: a preview of a report

B: an article describing a response to a report
C: an article previewing a report
D: a report
Question 73. Mr. David Melville suggests that in future more food could be imported into Hong Kong.
He thinks these measures could be _____.
A: insufficient B: sufficient C: efficient D: inefficient
Question 74.The main point of paragraph 2 is to describe _____.
A: effects of changes in the climate of China on the growing season
B: future changes in the climate of China.
C: projected future changes in the climate of China
D: effects of changes in the climate of China on food production
Question 75.The main point of paragraph 4 is to describe _____.
A: the causes and projected effects of global warming
B: global warming
C: the effects of global warming
D: the causes and effects of global warming
Question 76. Why does the writer add the information in square brackets in paragraph 4?
A: because, although they are not part of the original quote, the additional information given is
necessary to understand the statement
B: because the writer wants to emphasize the meaning of these words
C: because the quote is from a second language user whose command of English is not perfect
D: because the writer is quoting from another source
Question 77. In paragraph 7, which point is Mr. Melville NOT making?
A: criticising current safeguards
B: making a call for action
