Throughout the nineteenth century and into the twentieth, citizens of the United States
maintained a bias against big cities. Most lived on farms and in small towns and believed cities to be
centers of corruption, crime, poverty, and normal degradation. Their distrust was caused, in part, by
a national ideology that proclaimed farming the greatest occupation and rural living superior to
urban living. This attitude prevailed even as the number of urban dwellers increased and cities
became an essential feature of the national landscape. Gradually, economic reality overcame
ideology. Thousands abandoned the precarious life on the farm for more secure and better paying
jobs in the city. But when these people migrated from the countryside, they carried their fears and
suspicion with them. These new urbanites, already convinced that cities were overwhelmed with
great problems, eagerly embraced the progressive reforms that promised to bring order out of the
chaos of the city.

One of many reforms came in the area of public utilities. Water and sewerage systems were

usually operated by municipal governments, but the gas and electric networks were privately
owned. Reformers feared that the privately owned utility companies would charge exorbitant rates
for these essential services and deliver them only to people who could afford them. Some city and
state governments responded by regulating the utility companies, but a number of cities began to
supply these services themselves. Proponents of these reforms argued that public ownership and
regulation would insure widespread access to these utilities and guarantee a fair price.

While some reforms focused on government and public behavior, others looked at the cities
as a whole. Civic leaders, convinced that physical environment influenced human behavior, argued
that cities should develop master plans to guide their future growth and development. City planning
was nothing new, but the rapid industrialization and urban growth of the late nineteenth century

took place without any consideration for order. Urban renewal in the twentieth century followed
several courses. Some cities introduced plans to completely rebuild the city core. Most other cities
contented themselves with zoning plans for regulating future growth. Certain parts of town were

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 from 17 to 23.

Drift netting is a fishing technique that uses large, free-drifting nets to catch fish. It is cheaper
than other methods, but drift nets are controversial because of the large amount of “by-catch” they
create. “By-catch” is the name for marine creatures that are caught by accident. Sometimes the
by-catch from drift includes animals that are critically endangered.

Drift nets have been used extensively in the past. Generally, these nets were small (20 to 100
meters) and were used close to shore so they did not pose a problem. However, from the mid-1980s
until the early 1990s, large fleets of drift net boats were sent into the North Pacific Ocean to catch
tuna, squid, and salmon. Japan, South Korea, and China operated the largest fleets, with each
country having hundreds of boats. In addition, the drift nets being used were up to 50 kilometers
long. These huge drift nets caught massive amounts of by-catch and were blamed for destroying fish
stocks. Many countries complained about their use.

The huge new drift nets also upset environmentalists. They were worried because some of
the drift nets were becoming “ghost nets”, which are nets that have been lost at sea. Drift nets are
not anchored to the sea bottom or connected to a boat so they are sometimes lost, especially in
storms. When this happens, the net is free to drift around the ocean for years, catching and killing all
kinds of marine creatures. Ghost nets that were many kilometers long could cause huge amounts of
damage.

Finally, after years of protests, the combined voices of governments and environmentalists
had adopted a resolution which banned drift net fishing in international waters. Other forms of drift
net fishing were strictly regulated as well. These actions greatly reduced the threat of drift nets to
marine life, but enforcing the regulations proved to be difficult, and drift net fishing continues to
pose a hazard. Sadly, drift nets are still catching endangered fish and mammals in our oceans.

A. they are more effective than other nets B. they are cheaper to use

C. they create a large amount of by-catch D. they are common

A. fish that can be caught with drift nets B. tuna and squid
