Read the following pasage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Have you ever entered a tropical rainforest? It's a special, dark place completely different from anywhere else. A
rainforest is a place where the trees grow very tall. Millions of kinds of animals, insects, and plants live in the rainforest.
It is hot and humid in a rainforest. It rains a lot in the rainforest, but sometimes you don't know it's raining. The trees
grow so closely together that rain doesn't always reach the ground.
Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth's surface, about six percent. They are found in tropical parts of the
world. The largest rainforest in the world is the Amazon in South America. The Amazon covers 1.2 billion acres, or
almost five million square kilometers. The second largest rainforest is in Western Africa. There are also rainforests in
Central America, Southeast Asia, Northeastern Australia, and the Pacific Islands.
Rainforests provide us with many things. In fact, the Amazon Rainforest is called the "lungs of our planet" because it
produces twenty percent of the world's oxygen. One fifth of the world's fresh water is also found in the Amazon
Rainforest. Furthermore, one half of the world's species of animals, plants, and insects live in the Earth's rainforests.
Eighty percent of the food we eat first grew in the rainforest. For example, pineapples, bananas, tomatoes, corn, potatoes,
chocolate, coffee, and sugar all came from rainforests. Twenty-five percent of the drugs we take when we are sick are
made of plants that grow only in rainforests. Some of these drugs are even used to fight and cure cancer. With all the
good things we get from rainforests, it's surprising to find that we are destroying our rainforests. In fact, 1.5 acres, or
6,000 square metres, of rainforest disappear every second. The forests are being cut down to make fields for cows, to
harvest the plants, and to clear land for farms. Along with losing countless valuable species, the destruction of rainforests
creates many problems worldwide. Destruction of rainforests results in more pollution, less rain, and less oxygen for the
world.

Question 36: What is the most likely reason why the author is surprised that we are destroying rainforests?
A. They are necessary for the health of our planet.
B. They are necessary for the fight against cancer.
C. It will be too difficult to grow food without them.
D. It will be too expensive to replant them.
Question 37: Why is the Amazon Rainforest called the "lungs of the planet"?
A. It provides much of our air.
B. It helps us breathe.
C. It helps circulation.
D. It uses much of the world's oxygen.
Question 38: Where would you NOT find a rainforest?
A. Brazil
B. Australia
C. Hawaii
D. Canada
Question 39: The word "harvest" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to.......
A. reduce
B. gather
C. destroy
D. create
Question 40: The world "all" in paragraph 3 refers to........
A. food people eat
B. drugs people use
C. the world's species
D. rainforests
Question 41: Rainforests provide human all of the following EXCEPT?
A. Drugs used to fight and cure cancer
B. lungs of the world population
C. Oxygen
D. Fresh water

Question 42: The word "humid" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to.......
A. wet
B. foggy
C. rainy
D. cloudy
Question 43: What is the focus of this reading?
A. Facts about rainforests B. Kinds of forests
C. Where rainforests are located
D. How much oxygen rainforests make
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.
Food security is defined as the availability of food and one's access to it. A household is food-secure if its occupants do
not live in hunger or fear of starvation. According to the World Resources Institute, the amount of food grown around the
world has increased for the past several decades.
In 2006, the number of people who were overweight was higher than the number of people who did not have enough
food to eat. The world had more than one billion people who were overweight, and an estimated800 million who did not
have enough food. According to a 2004 article, China, the country with the most number of people, is suffering from an
obesity epidemic. In India, the second-most populous country in the world, 30 million people do not have enough food
and 46% of children are underweight.
In poorer countries, most of the population lives in rural areas. People work on small farms and stay in their hometown
for most of their lives. In some areas of the world, however, people cannot own land and therefore don't work hard to
improve their farms. The situation is very different in many richer countries. In the United States, for example, there are
only 2,000,000 farmers, less than 1% of the population in America.
People have different theories of how to provide food security to everyone in the world. Many western governments
believe that the key to food security is to make sure that farmers can make money. If farmers can make more money, they
will grow more food and they will also work harder to become better farmers, other governments have argued that
increasing famers' profits does not mean that food production will increase.
3



Some people argue that the only way to make everyone food secure is to give and share food with everyone in the
world. This theory is called "Food Justice". These people think that food security is a basic human right. They also say
that there is already enough food in the world for everyone but politics and economics prevent fair and balanced access
to food. Food Justice activists argue that food should be free for everyone.
Finally, the theory of "food sovereignty" argues that the key to global food security is to make sure that farmers have
control over their own crops. People who believe in food sovereignty argue that big business, especially foreign business,
has too much control over farming. They argue that small communities and countries should have the right to decide
what food to grow and how to grow it. Perhaps most surprising is that they also see food aid and donations from rich
countries as hurting small farmers in poorer countries.
Question 44: According to the article, what is food security?
A. having too much food to eat
B. having basic access to food
C. keeping food fresh and available
D. keeping food safe to eat
Question 45: According to the passage, how many people in India do not have enough food?
A. 300,000
B. 3,000,000
C. 30,000,000
D. 300,000,000
Question 46: What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A. The United States is suffering from a lack of farmers and therefore cannot produce enough food.
B. In poorer countries, many people are moving to urban areas because of the lack of farms in rural areas.
C. The population in the United States is falling because of a lack of food.
D. There is a huge difference in farming styles in richer and poorer countries.
Question 47: The word "starvation" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to]
A. poverty
B. famine
C. abundance
D. greed
Question 48: The word "they" in paragraph 5 refers to.....

A. foreign business
B. farmers
C. western governments
D. small communities
Question 49: According to the article, what do Food Justice activists believe?
A. everyone in the world should become vegetarian
B. everyone in the world should grow their own crops
C. everyone in the world should have access to free food
D. politicians in richer countries should donate food
Question 50: What would be a good title for this passage?

world. This theory is called "Food Justice". These people think that food security is a basic human right. They also say
that there is already enough food in the world for everyone but politics and economics prevent fair and balanced access
to food. Food Justice activists argue that food should be free for everyone.
Finally, the theory of "food sovereignty" argues that the key to global food security is to make sure that farmers have
control over their own crops. People who believe in food sovereignty argue that big business, especially foreign business,
has too much control over farming. They argue that small communities and countries should have the right to decide
what food to grow and how to grow it. Perhaps most surprising is that they also see food aid and donations from rich
countries as hurting small farmers in poorer countries.

Read the following pasage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Have you ever entered a tropical rainforest? It's a special, dark place completely different from anywhere else. A
rainforest is a place where the trees grow very tall. Millions of kinds of animals, insects, and plants live in the rainforest.
9


It is hot and humid in a rainforest. It rains a lot in the rainforest, but sometimes you don't know it's raining. The trees
grow so closely together that rain doesn't always reach the ground.
Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth's surface, about six percent. They are found in tropical parts of the
world. The largest rainforest in the world is the Amazon in South America. The Amazon covers 1.2 billion acres, or
almost five million square kilometers. The second largest rainforest is in Western Africa. There are also rainforests in
Central America, Southeast Asia, Northeastern Australia, and the Pacific Islands.
Rainforests provide us with many things. In fact, the Amazon Rainforest is called the "lungs of our planet" because it
produces twenty percent of the world's oxygen. One fifth of the world's fresh water is also found in the Amazon
Rainforest. Furthermore, one half of the world's species of animals, plants, and insects live in the Earth's rainforests.
Eighty percent of the food we eat first grew in the rainforest. For example, pineapples, bananas, tomatoes, corn, potatoes,
chocolate, coffee, and sugar all came from rainforests. Twenty-five percent of the drugs we take when we are sick are
made of plants that grow only in rainforests. Some of these drugs are even used to fight and cure cancer. With all the
good things we get from rainforests, it's surprising to find that we are destroying our rainforests. In fact, 1.5 acres, or
6,000 square metres, of rainforest disappear every second. The forests are being cut down to make fields for cows, to
harvest the plants, and to clear land for farms. Along with losing countless valuable species, the destruction of rainforests
creates many problems worldwide. Destruction of rainforests results in more pollution, less rain, and less oxygen for the
world.
Question 20: What is the focus of this reading?
A. Kinds of forests

B. Where rainforests are located
C. Facts about rainforests
D. How much oxygen rainforests make
Question 21: Where would you NOT find a rainforest?
A. Hawaii
B. Australia
C. Brazil
D. Canada
Question 22: Why is the Amazon Rainforest called the "lungs of the planet"?
A. It uses much of the world's oxygen.
B. It provides much of our air.
C. It helps circulation.
D. It helps us breathe.
Question 23: What is the most likely reason why the author is surprised that we are destroying rainforests?
A. They are necessary for the fight against cancer.
B. They are necessary for the health of our planet.
C. It will be too expensive to replant them.
D. It will be too difficult to grow food without them.
Question 24: The word "humid" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to.......
A. cloudy
B. foggy
C. wet
D. rainy
Question 25: Rainforests provide human all of the following EXCEPT?
A. Fresh water
B. Oxygen
C. lungs of the world population
D. Drugs used to fight and cure cancer

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.
Food security is defined as the availability of food and one's access to it. A household is food-secure if its occupants do
not live in hunger or fear of starvation. According to the World Resources Institute, the amount of food grown around the
world has increased for the past several decades.
In 2006, the number of people who were overweight was higher than the number of people who did not have enough
food to eat. The world had more than one billion people who were overweight, and an estimated800 million who did not
have enough food. According to a 2004 article, China, the country with the most number of people, is suffering from an
obesity epidemic. In India, the second-most populous country in the world, 30 million people do not have enough food
and 46% of children are underweight.
In poorer countries, most of the population lives in rural areas. People work on small farms and stay in their hometown
for most of their lives. In some areas of the world, however, people cannot own land and therefore don't work hard to
improve their farms. The situation is very different in many richer countries. In the United States, for example, there are
only 2,000,000 farmers, less than 1% of the population in America.
People have different theories of how to provide food security to everyone in the world. Many western governments
believe that the key to food security is to make sure that farmers can make money. If farmers can make more money, they
will grow more food and they will also work harder to become better farmers, other governments have argued that
increasing famers' profits does not mean that food production will increase.
Some people argue that the only way to make everyone food secure is to give and share food with everyone in the
world. This theory is called "Food Justice". These people think that food security is a basic human right. They also say
that there is already enough food in the world for everyone but politics and economics prevent fair and balanced access
to food. Food Justice activists argue that food should be free for everyone.

10


Finally, the theory of "food sovereignty" argues that the key to global food security is to make sure that farmers have
control over their own crops. People who believe in food sovereignty argue that big business, especially foreign business,
has too much control over farming. They argue that small communities and countries should have the right to decide
what food to grow and how to grow it. Perhaps most surprising is that they also see food aid and donations from rich
countries as hurting small farmers in poorer countries.

Food security is defined as the availability of food and one's access to it. A household is food-secure if its occupants do
not live in hunger or fear of starvation. According to the World Resources Institute, the amount of food grown around the
world has increased for the past several decades.
In 2006, the number of people who were overweight was higher than the number of people who did not have enough
food to eat. The world had more than one billion people who were overweight, and an estimated800 million who did not
have enough food. According to a 2004 article, China, the country with the most number of people, is suffering from an
obesity epidemic. In India, the second-most populous country in the world, 30 million people do not have enough food
and 46% of children are underweight.
In poorer countries, most of the population lives in rural areas. People work on small farms and stay in their hometown
for most of their lives. In some areas of the world, however, people cannot own land and therefore don't work hard to
improve their farms. The situation is very different in many richer countries. In the United States, for example, there are
only 2,000,000 farmers, less than 1% of the population in America.
People have different theories of how to provide food security to everyone in the world. Many western governments
believe that the key to food security is to make sure that farmers can make money. If farmers can make more money, they
will grow more food and they will also work harder to become better farmers, other governments have argued that
increasing famers' profits does not mean that food production will increase.

Some people argue that the only way to make everyone food secure is to give and share food with everyone in the
world. This theory is called "Food Justice". These people think that food security is a basic human right. They also say
that there is already enough food in the world for everyone but politics and economics prevent fair and balanced access
to food. Food Justice activists argue that food should be free for everyone.
Finally, the theory of "food sovereignty" argues that the key to global food security is to make sure that farmers have
control over their own crops. People who believe in food sovereignty argue that big business, especially foreign business,
has too much control over farming. They argue that small communities and countries should have the right to decide
what food to grow and how to grow it. Perhaps most surprising is that they also see food aid and donations from rich
countries as hurting small farmers in poorer countries.

A. keeping food safe to eat

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

each of the questions.
Have you ever entered a tropical rainforest? It's a special, dark place completely different from anywhere else. A
rainforest is a place where the trees grow very tall. Millions of kinds of animals, insects, and plants live in the rainforest.
It is hot and humid in a rainforest. It rains a lot in the rainforest, but sometimes you don't know it's raining. The trees
grow so closely together that rain doesn't always reach the ground.
Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth's surface, about six percent. They are found in tropical parts of the
world. The largest rainforest in the world is the Amazon in South America. The Amazon covers 1.2 billion acres, or
almost five million square kilometers. The second largest rainforest is in Western Africa. There are also rainforests in
Central America, Southeast Asia, Northeastern Australia, and the Pacific Islands.
Rainforests provide us with many things. In fact, the Amazon Rainforest is called the "lungs of our planet" because it
produces twenty percent of the world's oxygen. One fifth of the world's fresh water is also found in the Amazon
Rainforest. Furthermore, one half of the world's species of animals, plants, and insects live in the Earth's rainforests.
Eighty percent of the food we eat first grew in the rainforest. For example, pineapples, bananas, tomatoes, corn, potatoes,
chocolate, coffee, and sugar all came from rainforests. Twenty-five percent of the drugs we take when we are sick are
made of plants that grow only in rainforests. Some of these drugs are even used to fight and cure cancer. With all the
good things we get from rainforests, it's surprising to find that we are destroying our rainforests. In fact, 1.5 acres, or
6,000 square metres, of rainforest disappear every second. The forests are being cut down to make fields for cows, to
harvest the plants, and to clear land for farms. Along with losing countless valuable species, the destruction of rainforests
creates many problems worldwide. Destruction of rainforests results in more pollution, less rain, and less oxygen for the
world.

Question 7: Where would you NOT find a rainforest?
A. Australia
B. Canada
C. Hawaii
D. Brazil
Question 8: What is the most likely reason why the author is surprised that we are destroying rainforests?
A. It will be too expensive to replant them.
B. They are necessary for the fight against cancer.

Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth's surface, about six percent. They are found in tropical parts of the
world. The largest rainforest in the world is the Amazon in South America. The Amazon covers 1.2 billion acres, or
almost five million square kilometers. The second largest rainforest is in Western Africa. There are also rainforests in
Central America, Southeast Asia, Northeastern Australia, and the Pacific Islands.
Rainforests provide us with many things. In fact, the Amazon Rainforest is called the "lungs of our planet" because it
produces twenty percent of the world's oxygen. One fifth of the world's fresh water is also found in the Amazon
Rainforest. Furthermore, one half of the world's species of animals, plants, and insects live in the Earth's rainforests.
Eighty percent of the food we eat first grew in the rainforest. For example, pineapples, bananas, tomatoes, corn, potatoes,
chocolate, coffee, and sugar all came from rainforests. Twenty-five percent of the drugs we take when we are sick are
made of plants that grow only in rainforests. Some of these drugs are even used to fight and cure cancer. With all the
good things we get from rainforests, it's surprising to find that we are destroying our rainforests. In fact, 1.5 acres, or
6,000 square metres, of rainforest disappear every second. The forests are being cut down to make fields for cows, to
harvest the plants, and to clear land for farms. Along with losing countless valuable species, the destruction of rainforests
creates many problems worldwide. Destruction of rainforests results in more pollution, less rain, and less oxygen for the
world.

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.

Food security is defined as the availability of food and one's access to it. A household is food-secure if its occupants do
not live in hunger or fear of starvation. According to the World Resources Institute, the amount of food grown around the
world has increased for the past several decades.
In 2006, the number of people who were overweight was higher than the number of people who did not have enough
food to eat. The world had more than one billion people who were overweight, and an estimated800 million who did not
have enough food. According to a 2004 article, China, the country with the most number of people, is suffering from an
obesity epidemic. In India, the second-most populous country in the world, 30 million people do not have enough food
and 46% of children are underweight.
In poorer countries, most of the population lives in rural areas. People work on small farms and stay in their hometown
for most of their lives. In some areas of the world, however, people cannot own land and therefore don't work hard to
improve their farms. The situation is very different in many richer countries. In the United States, for example, there are
only 2,000,000 farmers, less than 1% of the population in America.
People have different theories of how to provide food security to everyone in the world. Many western governments
believe that the key to food security is to make sure that farmers can make money. If farmers can make more money, they
23


will grow more food and they will also work harder to become better farmers, other governments have argued that
increasing famers' profits does not mean that food production will increase.
Some people argue that the only way to make everyone food secure is to give and share food with everyone in the
world. This theory is called "Food Justice". These people think that food security is a basic human right. They also say
that there is already enough food in the world for everyone but politics and economics prevent fair and balanced access
to food. Food Justice activists argue that food should be free for everyone.
Finally, the theory of "food sovereignty" argues that the key to global food security is to make sure that farmers have
control over their own crops. People who believe in food sovereignty argue that big business, especially foreign business,
has too much control over farming. They argue that small communities and countries should have the right to decide
what food to grow and how to grow it. Perhaps most surprising is that they also see food aid and donations from rich
countries as hurting small farmers in poorer countries.
Question 44: According to the article, what is food security?
A. keeping food safe to eat

B. having too much food to eat
C. keeping food fresh and available
D. having basic access to food
Question 45: According to the article, what do Food Justice activists believe?
A. politicians in richer countries should donate food
B. everyone in the world should become vegetarian
C. everyone in the world should grow their own crops
D. everyone in the world should have access to free food
Question 46: The word "starvation" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to]
A. abundance
B. famine
C. greed
D. poverty
Question 47: What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A. There is a huge difference in farming styles in richer and poorer countries.
B. The population in the United States is falling because of a lack of food.
C. The United States is suffering from a lack of farmers and therefore cannot produce enough food.
D. In poorer countries, many people are moving to urban areas because of the lack of farms in rural areas.
