Read the text carefully then choose the correct answer A, B, C or D. ( 2pts) What is the biggest city in the world? That is , which city has the largest population? This seems like an easy question to answer, but it isn’t. It is actually rather difficult to say which of the cities are the largest. There are two reasons for this difficulty. First of all, it is not easy to determine a city boundaries, that is where a city ends. Nowadays, nearly all the cities have a large suburban area around them, so when we talk about the population of a city, we often mean the population of the whole metropolitan area around the city. That means it is difficult to determine what the population of a city is because it is difficult to define what a city is..

<span class='text_page_counter'>(3)</span> The second reason is that it is difficult to compare the population of the different cities and that it is almost impossible to get information of all cities for the same year. For example, we might get an estimate of New York’s population in 1898 and an estimate of Mexico city’s population in 1991. So we can not really compare the number because the information is for two different years. And the population of cities changes rather quickly, especially in some cases. For example, the population of Jakarta, Indonesia may increase by 5% each year, so the population figure will change rather quickly. 1. It is difficult to compare the population of different cities because _____________. A. Nobody gets the estimate. B. The estimates are not exact. C. The estimates are often of different year. D. Cities may increase 5% each year. 2. According to the author, the biggest city has: _________________. A. Longest boundary. B. Biggest size. C. Highest percentage of population increase. D. Largest population. 3. When the author used the phrase “ suburban area” in line 5 he means: A. The city B. The area lying next to a city C. The inner area of the city D. The country 4. The word “ determine” in line 7 in the text means: A. To show strength B. To understand C. To know clearly D. To make 5. “ It is difficult to define what a city is”. The word “define” means: A. To give an approximate number B. To give clear meaning C. To give name to a city D. To limit the city from growing VII. Read this passage carefully then fill in the blank with one suitable word. ( 2pts) Asia is the biggest of the seven continents. In fact it covers about 30 percent of all the world’s land. Asia is (1) _____________ big that it touches Europe in the west and nearly reaches North America (2) ______________ the east. In northern Asia are the vast frozen lands of Siberia. In the south (3) _________ the damp tropical forests of Malaysia (4) ______________ Indonesia. Asia has large crowded cities (5) ______________ Bombay, India.
