questions from 41 to 45.

Different regions have different rates of population growth, but in the 20th century, the world saw the 
biggest increase in its population in human history due to medical advances and massive increase in agricultural
productivity made by the Green Revolution.

In 2000, the United Nation estimated that the world’s population was then growing at the rate of 1.14%
(or about 75 million people) per year. According to data from the CIA’s 2005 – 2006 World Fact books, the
world human population currently increases by 203,800 people every day. The 2007 CIA fact book increased
this to 211,090 people every day.

Globally, the population growth rate has been steadily declining from its peak of 2.19% in 1963, but 
growth remains high in the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa.

In some countries there is negative population growth, especially in Central and Eastern Europe (mainly

due to low fertility rates) and Southern Africa (due to the high number of HIV – related deaths). Within the next
decade, Japan and some countries in Western Europe are also expected to encounter negative population growth
due to sub – replacement fertility rates.

Population growth which exceeds the carrying capacity of an area or environment results in
overpopulation. Conversely, such areas may be considered “under-populated” if the population is not large
enough to maintain an economic system.

A. medical advances B. the Green Revolution

winter. They held a big celebration to thank God and the Native Americans for the fact that they had survived.

Today people celebrate Thanksgiving to remember these early days. The most important part of the
celebration is a traditional dinner with foods that come from North America. The meal includes turkey, sweet
potatoes (also called yams) and cranberries, which are made into a kind of sauce or jelly. The turkey is filled
with stuffing or dressing, and many families have their own special recipe. Dessert is pumpkin made into a pie.

On Thanksgiving there are special television programs and sports events. In New York there is the Macy's

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of

the questions.

You depend on all the people closely around to give you the warm feeling of belongingness that you

must have to feel secure. But, in fact, the members of all the groups to which you belong also depend on you to

give that feeling to them. A person who shows that he wants everything for himself is bound to be a lonely wolf.

The need for companionship is closely related to the need for a sense of belongingness. How sad and

lonely your life would be if you had no one to share your feelings and experiences. You may take it for granted

that there always will be people around to talk to and to do things with you and for you. The important point,

however, is that keeping emotionally healthy does not depend so much upon having people around you as upon

your ability to establish relationships that are satisfying both to you and to them.

Suppose you are in a crowd watching a football game. You don’t know them. When the game is over,

you will all go your separate ways. But just for a while you had a feeling of companionship, of sharing the

feelings of others who were cheering for the team you wanted to win.

An experience of this kind gives the clue to what companionship really is. It depends upon emotional

ties of sympathy, understanding, trust, and affection. Companions become friends when these ties are formed.

When you are thrown in a new circle of acquaintances, you may not know with whom you will make

friends, but you can be sure that you will be able to establish friendships if you show that you really like people.

1. What does paragraph 2 primarily discuss?

A. Close link between companionship and belongingness

VI. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of

People do many crazy things to raise money for charity. The latest crazy stunt came from an English

man who decided to push a Brussels sprout up the highest mountain in Wales - with his nose. He wanted to raise

$8,500 for a cancer charity. Stuart Kettell, 49, said he loves challenges and will try to do anything for charity.

His other challenges include walking 800 kilometers on stilts and sitting in a box for a week. He said: "I have

seen firsthand the amazing charity work that Macmillan Cancer Support does, not only for the patient but their

family and friends too." He added: "People's cancer stories inspire me even more to carry on, and my challenges

are going to get even more crazy."

It took Mr. Kettell three days to push the Brussels sprout up the 1,085 meters high Mount Snowden. He

wore a specially designed face mask so he wouldn't scrape the skin off his face. He practised for his

charitymission by pushing a Brussels sprout around his garden. He chose a large sprout for his Snowden

challenge. It was about the size of a table-tennis ball. He said he wanted a larger one because it would not fall

down a crack. He spent three days on his hands and knees with his nose a centimeter or two above the ground.

He told reporters there was "a huge amount of pain" in his knees, wrists and back. He said he was happy

because his training worked, he reached the summit, and he raised money for the charity.

A. He is from Brussels.

VII. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each

of the questions.

The Spring festival season in Vietnam starts with the Lunar New Year and closes with the celebration

honoring the mythical founding fathers, the Hung Kings, on the tenth day of the third lunar month.

Underlying the origins of these rituals is the farming cycle and its association with fertility rites and

ancestor worship. Ancestor worship is a belief of wet-rice farmers who keep their ancestors' graves in their

village. This strong attachment to the village of one's birth and the recognition that the inhabitants all

descendfrom the same ancestral line creates strong bonds. The village festival is based on the spirit of unity and

family. The farmers are the festivals' creators, actors and audience.

Ancient ceremonies related to farming sometimes take on additional meanings: the commemoration of

heroic deeds and the village heroes' birth or death. Each village in the North of Vietnam has such a heroic or

super-human figure as a tutelary or guardian spirit. The heroes were honored in their own temples and

communal houses which became the heart of the village activities.

There are basic themes which are common to all Spring festivals in the Red River Delta. For instance,

water takes on an essential role. Water is collected and blessed and later used for ritual washing. There are boat

races, fishing contests, snake dances and water puppet performances. In Chem village, in the suburbs of Hanoi

on the banks of the Red River, the main part of the festival actually occurs on a barge carrying over 200 people

waving flags, singing, dancing and chasing a unicorn. The barge sails from the temple out into the middle of the

Red River, while elders in smaller boats fetch three large jars of water to be blessed and used in rituals during

the year. The next day the blessed water is used for the symbolic washing of the wooden statue of the village

guardian.

1. According to paragraph 1, how long does the the Spring festival last?

A. one month

B. less than one month

C. more than three months

D. just more than two months

2. With which of the following are the rituals of the festival NOT associated?
