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 following questions
Mankind is feeling greater pressure from the expanding number of people. The area of the earth can never
be expanded. Nor are there endless sources of food and clothing. Yet people are being born faster than they are
dying. In the next forty years, the world population may double. How can so many people be fed? What is worse,
there is danger that someday mankink will have only standing room.


Birth control should be a basic policy in our country. China has the greatest number of population in the
world. With a high birth rate, the production of grains and goods will be unable to meet the need of the people. To
raise people’s living standard, we must practise birth control.
There are disadvantages of a family having more children. First, parents cannot give their children a good
breeding in food, clothing and shelter, let alone education. Second, child-rearing will exhaust the parents, leaving no
time and energy for their work. Last, a family with more children will increase the burden of society.

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 following questions
A YEAR WITH OVERSEAS VOLUNTEERS
I was with Overseas Volunteers (OV) for a year after leaving university, and I was sent to an isolated village in
Chad, about 500 km from the capital N'Djamena. Coming from' a rich country, I got quite a shock as conditions
were much harder than I had expected. But after a few days I soon got used to living there. The people were always
very friendly and helpful, and soon I began to appreciate how beautiful the countryside was.
One of my jobs was to supply the village with water. The well was a long walk away. And the women used to
spend a long time every day carrying heavy pots backwards and forwards. So I contacted organization and arranged
to have some pipes delivered. We built a simple pipeline and a pump, and it worked first time. It wasn't perfect there were a few leaks, but it made a great difference to the villagers, who had never had running water before. And
not only did we have running water, but in the evenings it was hot, because the pipe had been lying in the sun all
day. All in all, I think .my time with OV was a good experience. Although it was not well-paid, it was well worth
doing, and I would recommend it to anyone who was considering working for a charity.
