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.
What is meant by the term economic resources? In general, these are all the natural, man-made, and human
resources that go into the production of goods and services. This obviously covers a lot of ground:
factories and farms, tools and machines, transportation and communication facilities, all types of natural
resources, and labor. Economic resources can be broken down into two general categories: proper
resources- land and capital- and human resources- labor and entrepreneurial skills.

What do economists mean by land? Much more than the non-economist. Land refers to all natural
resources that are usable in the production process: arable land, forests, mineral and oil deposits, and so on.
What about capital? Capital goods are all the man-made aids to producing, storing, transporting, and
distributing goods and services. Capital goods differ from consumer goods in that the latter satisfy wants
directly, while the former do so indirectly by facilitating the production of consumer goods. It should be
noted that capital as defined here does not refer to money. Money, as such, produces nothing.
The term labor refers to the physical and mental talents of humans used to produce goods or services( with
the exception of a certain set of human talents, entrepreneurial skills, which will be considered separately
because of their special significance). Thus the services of a factory worker or an office worker, a ballet
dancer or an astronaut all fall under the general heading of labor.
Câu 41: What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To explain the concept of labor.

B. To define economic resources.

C. To contrast capital goods and consumer goods. D. To criticize certain uses of capital.
Câu 42: In the second sentence of paragraph 1, the author uses the expression “ This obviously covers a
lot of ground…” to indicate that
A. the factories and farms discussed in the passage are very large.
B. economic resources will be discussed in great depth.
C. land is an important concept in economics.
D. The topic of economic resources is a broad one.


Câu 43: When non-economists use the term “land”, its definition
A. is much more restrictive than when economists use it.
B. is much more general than when economists use it.
C. changes from place to place.
D. includes all types of natural resources.
Câu 44: Which of the following could be considered a capital good as defined in the passage?

A. A railroad

B. A coal deposit

C. Money

D. Human skills

Câu 45: The skills of the following could be considered examples of labor, as defined in the passage
EXCEPT
A. Artists and scientists

B. workers who produce services, not goods.

C. entrepreneurs

D. office workers

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the

There is now increasing concern (46)________ the world’s energy resources particularly about those

sources of oil and gas. (48)________ world’s coal reserves should last longer but, once used, these cannot
be renewed. It is important, therefore, that we should develop such alternative sources of energy as solar
