Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
On 8 August 1967, five leaders - the Foreign Ministers of Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and
Thailand- sat down together in the main hall of the Department of Foreign Affairs building in Bangkok, Thailand and
signed a document. By virtue of that document, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) was born. The
five Foreign Ministers who signed it have been considered as the founders of probably the most successful
intergovernmental organization in the developing world today. The document that they signed would be known as the
ASEAN Declaration.
It is a short, simply-worded document containing just five articles. It declares the establishment of an Association
for Regional Cooperation among the Countries of Southeast Asia to be known as the Association of Southeast Asian
Nations (ASEAN) and spells out the aims and purposes of that Association. These aims and purposes are about the
cooperation in economy, society, culture, techniques, education and other fields, and in the promotion of regional
peace and stability through abiding respect for justice and the principles of the United Nations Charter. It stipulates
that the Association will be open for participation by all States in the Southeast Asian region subscribing to its aims,
principles and purposes. It proclaims ASEAN as representing the collective will of the nations of Southeast Asia to
bind themselves together in friendship and cooperation and, through joint efforts and sacrifices, secure for their

peoples and for posterity the blessings of peace, freedom and prosperity. The goal of ASEAN, then, is to create, not to
destroy.
The original ASEAN logo presented five brown sheaves of rice stalks, one for each founding member. Beneath
the sheaves is the legend "ASEAN" in blue. These are set on a field of yellow encircled by a blue border. Brown


stands for strength and stability, yellow for prosperity and blue for the spirit of cordiality in which ASEAN affairs are
conducted. When ASEAN celebrated its 30th Anniversary in 1997, the sheaves on the logo had increased to ten representing all ten countries of Southeast Asia and reflecting the colors of the flags of all of them. In a very real
sense, ASEAN and Southeast Asia will be one and the same, just as the founders had envisioned.

a. consists of some Western nations
b. was established by the Philippines
c. was founded on 8 August 1967

Section C – reading
I. Read the following passage, and then choose the best answer
from A, B, C or D.
East Somalia’s prolonged the shortage of rain, which has already caused food supply


to fail
and brought unemployment in farming areas, could also affect the production of electricity, and
thus reduce the output from the nation’s mines. The mining industry, and especially copper
mining, uses
a huge amount of electricity and is almost completely dependent on the government
Electricity Supply Commission. But the Commission has recently asked the mines
what would happen if electricity supplies were reduced by ten, twenty or thirty percent.

The Commission’s power stations which reduce the electricity using coal as fuel, are mostly
situated near the large coalfields of Eastern Province. But this area has little water so the cooling towers
at the power stations have to be supplied with water from elsewhere. The problem now is that water
levels in all rivers and lakes have fallen dangerously low and, in some cases, are well below the intake
pipes which feed into the pipelines which supply the cooling towers.
In a separate attempt to solve the problem, engineers are spending some forty million dollars
on building a series of small dams across the Haro river. It is hoped that these dams will make the water
level at the Malawa Dam rise so that water can then be pumped through a new pipeline to the power
stations.
This will take time and it is now the dry season. Very little rain falls before October or
November, and after a shortage which has lasted for four years and is believed to be the worst in two
centuries, nobody can say whether the rain will be sufficient.
The amount of electricity and water used by the mines has tended to increase in recent years. The
mines which produce about half the country’s export earnings, need electricity in order to pump fresh air
through their workings and to drive machines which crush vast quantities of rock. Each mine also has to
provide accommodation for as many as three thousands workers.
36. How might East Somalia’s lack of rain affect electricity supplies and mining?
A. Electricity supplies to mines may be cut by up to thirty percent. B. Copper
mines may be unable to pump water by October.
C. Copper mines are having to use less electricity
D. Coal supplies are failing to reach power stations
37. Where does Electricity Supply Commission produce most of its electricity?
A. At the Malawa Dam
C. In Eastern Province
B. Along the Haro River
D. Near the copper mines
38. The action that the engineers are taking
.
