Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct word(s) for each of the blanks.

Rapid urbanization can hold long-term economic, social and environmental promise for
developing countries (28)
investments made now in infrastructure, housing and
public services are efficient and sustainable, the World Bank says in a new report.
In the next two decades, cities are (29)
to expand by another two billion
residents, as people move in unprecedented numbers from rural areas to pursue hopes and
aspirations in cities. More than 90 (30)
_ of this urban population growth is expected to
occur in the developing world, (31)

many cities are already struggling to provide
basic needs such as water, electricity, transport, health services and education.
Report authors note that most new urban growth will not take place in the “megacities” of
the world but in less commonly recognized “secondary” cities.
To help policy makers prepare for and manage growth, the report distills lessons (32)
from 12 countries across all geographic regions and stages of urbanization. It then
translates these global lessons into practical policy advice.

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.
Text 1:
Traditions, saying, beliefs, language, and values are just a few things that make up our culture.
Culture is the framework in which families are structured. It shapes our expectations and ideals.
Culture plays a part in the meaning of marriage and our roles as husbands, wives, children and
parents.
Understanding cultural differences and similarities related to marriage is important. Culture
affects the roles that spouses take within marriages, the age at marriage and number of children a
couple have, the meaning of divorce, cohabitation and non-marital childbearing, and the way
parents raise children. Understanding how relationships and marriages vary across cultural
contexts, and how they are similar, we will be able to identify the unique ways that marriages and
family life affect people of various cultures. As a result, we will be able to help families and
sustain happy marriages.
A cross cultural marriage or similar love relationship can be extremely exciting. The cultural
background, visits to the other country, the language of the country and learning to speak it, the
different habits and ways of doing and saying things that people from other cultures have, are all
very exciting indeed. What of the disadvantages of a cross cultural marriage or love relationship
with someone from another country or cultural background? No matter how much you love your
husband or wife, no matter how high your level of cross cultural awareness, cross cultural
communication and respect for differences. Misunderstanding seems to be unavoidable.
Question 33: The passage is about

.
A. the effects of cultures on love and marriage
C. the role of spouses in the family
Question 34: The word “It” in paragraph 1 refers to

B. the definition of culture

.
A. does not have advantages
B. does not have disadvantages
C. has both advantages and disadvantages
D. does not exist through time
Question 36: The word “indeed” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning with
.
A. extremely
B. hopefully
C. actually
D. doubtedly

Question 37: In cross-cultural marriage,
may happen.
A. divorce
B. quarrel
C. misunderstanding D. separation
Text 2:
An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the
atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials adversely. Air
pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous change. When the first air
pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to
compounds that could be seen or smelled – a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances
known today. As technology has developed and knowledge of the health aspects of various
chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened. In the future, even water vapour
might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions.
Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and
nitrogen oxides, are found in nature. As the Earth developed, the concentration of these pollutants
was altered by various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycles.
These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the
water or soil. On a global basis, nature’s output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from
human activities.
However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city. In such a
region, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification
scheme of the cycles. The result is an increased concentration of noxious chemicals in the air.
The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the
concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities. The actual
concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact, the numerical value tells
us little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would
occur naturally in the area. For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts
per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a
pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm.

A. The economic impact of air pollution
B. What constitutes an air pollutant
C. How much harm air pollutants can cause

A. They function as part of a purification process.
B. They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants.
C. They are less harmful to living beings than other pollutants.
D. They have existed since the Earth developed.

.
A. can be dwarfed by nature’s output of pollutants
