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 5 to 11.

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-“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

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 43 to 50.

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 restricted to residential use, while others were set aside for industrial or commercial
development.

Question 43: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. Efforts to improve urban life in the early twentieth century

B. Methods of controlling urban growth in the twentieth century

C. A comparison of urban and rural life in the early twentieth century

D. The role of government in twentieth century urban renewal

Question 44: The first paragraph suggests that most people who lived in rural areas _____.

A. believed city government had too much power B. were suspicious of their neighbors

C. were very proud of their lifestyle D. wanted to move to the cities

Question 45: In the early twentieth century, many rural dwellers migrated to the city in order to
_______.

A. avoid crime and corruption B. comply with a government ordinance

C. participate in the urban reform D. seek financial security

Question 46: The word “precarious” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.
A. irregular B. unstable C. wealthy D. inexpensive

Question 47: What concern did reformers have about privately owned utility companies?

A. They feared the services would not be made available to all city dwellers.

</div>
(6)<div class='page_container' data-page=6>

C. They wanted to ensure that the services would be provided to rural areas.

D. They believed private ownership would slow economic growth.

Question 48: The word “embraced” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ________
A. accepted B. imparted C. denounced D. administered

Question 49: All of the following were the direct result of public utility reforms EXCEPT
________

A. Some utility companies were owned and operated by local governments.

B. Private utility companies were required to pay a fee to local governments.

C. Local governments determined the rates charged by private utility companies.
