difficulties and tensions of other ways of travelling so you are more cheerful after a ride, even through the rush hour

The first thing a non-cyclist says to you is: "But isn't it (33) dangerous?" It would be foolish to deny the danger of sharing the road with motor vehicles and it must be admitted that there are an alarming (34) of accidents involving cyclists However, although police records (35) that the car driver is often to blame, the answer lies with the cyclist It is possible to ride in such a way as to reduce risks to a minimum

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 from 67 to 76

Very few people, groups, or governments oppose globalization in its entirety Instead, critics of globalization believe aspects of the way globalization operates should be changed The debate over globalization is about what the best rules are for governing the global economy so that its advantages can grow while its problems can be solved

On one side of this debate are those who stress the benefits of removing barriers to international trade

and investment, allowing capital to be allocated more efficiently and giving consumers greater freedom of

choice With free-market globalization, investment funds can move unimpeded from the rich countries to the developing countries Consumers can benefit from cheaper products because reduced taxes make goods produced at low cost from faraway places cheaper to buy Producers of goods gain by selling to a

wider market More competition keepssellers on their toes and allows ideas and new technology to spread

and benefit others

On the other side of the debate are critics who see neo-liberal policies as producing greater poverty, inequality, social conflict, cultural destruction, and environmental damage They say that the most developed nations – the United States, Germany, and Japan – succeeded not because of free trade but because of protectionism and subsidies They argue that the more recently successful economies of South Korea, Taiwan, and China all had strong state-led development strategies that did not follow neo-liberalism These critics think that government encouragement of “infant industries” – that is, industries that are just beginning to develop – enables a country to become internationally competitive

Furthermore, those who criticize the Washington Consensus suggest that the inflow and outflow of money from speculative investors must be limited to prevent bubbles These bubbles are characterized by the rapid inflow of foreign funds that bid up domestic stock markets and property values When the economy cannot sustain such expectation, the bubbles burst as investors panic and pull their money out of the country

Protests by what is called the anti-globalization movement are seldom directed against globalization itself but rather against abuses that harm the rights of workers and the environment The question raised

by nongovernmental organizations and protesters at WTO and IMF gatherings is whether globalization will result in a rise of living standards or a race to the bottom as competition takes the form of lowering

living standards and undermining environmental regulations

One of the key problems of the 21st century will be determining to what extent markets should be regulated to promote fair competition, honest dealing, and fair distribution of public goods on a global scale

From “Globalization” by Tabb, William K., Microsoft ® Student 2009 [DVD]

Question 43: It is stated in the passage that

A the protests of globalization are directed against globalization itself

B the United States, Germany, and Japan succeeded in helping infant industries

C suppoters of globalization stress the benefits of removing trade barriers

D critics of globalization say that the successful economies are all in Asia

Question 44: Supporters of free-market globalization point out that

A consumers can benefit from cheaper products B there will be less competition among producers

C taxes that are paid on goods will be increased D investment will be allocated only to rich countries

Question 45: The word “allocated” in the passage mostly means “ _”

A removed B solved C offered D distributed

Question 46: The phrase “keeps sellers on their toes” in the passage mostly means “ _”

A makes sellers responsive to any changes B allows sellers to stand on their own feet

C forces sellers to go bare-footed D prevents sellers from selling new products

Question 47: According to critics of globalization, several developed countries have become rich because

of

A their neo-liberal policies B their help to developing countries

C their prevention of bubbles D their protectionism and subsidies

Question 48: Infant industries mentioned in the passage are _

A successful economies B young companies C development strategies D young industries

Question 49: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A Critics believe the way globalization operates should be changed

B The anti-globalization movement was set up to end globalization

C Some Asian countries had strong state-led economic strategies

D Hardly anyone disapproves of globalization in its entirety

XI 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

The concept of obtaining fresh water from iceberg that is towed to populated areas and arid regions of the world was once treated as a joke more appropriate to cartoons than real life But now it is being considered

quite seriously by many nations, especially since scientists have warned that the human race will outgrow its fresh water supply faster than it runs out of food Glaciers are a possible source of fresh water that has been

overlooked until recently (A)

Three-quarters of the Earth's fresh water supply is still tied up in glacial ice, a reservoir of untapped fresh water so immense that it could sustain all the rivers of the world for 1,000 years Floating on the oceans every year are 7,659 trillion metric tons of ice encased in 10,000 icebergs that break away from the polar ice caps,

more than ninety percent of them from Antarctica (B)

Huge glaciers that stretch over the shallow continental shelf give birth to icebergs throughout the year Icebergs are not like sea ice, which is formed when the sea itself freezes; rather, they are formed entirely on land, breaking off when glaciers spread over the sea As they drift away from the polar region, icebergs

sometimes move mysteriously in a direction opposite to the wind, pulled by subsurface currents Because they

melt more slowly than smaller pieces of ice, icebergs have been known to drift as far north as 35 degrees south

of the equator in the Atlantic Ocean (C)

The difficulty arises in other technical matters, such as the prevention of rapid melting in warmer climates and the funneling of fresh water to shore in great volume But even if the icebergs lost half of their volume in

towing, the water they could provide would be far cheaper than that produced by desalination, or removing salt from water (D)

Question 28: What is the main topic of the passage?

A The movement of glaciers B Icebergs as a source of fresh water

C Future water shortages D The future of the world's rivers

Question 29: The word “arid” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to

A anhydrous B fruitful C remote D distant

Question 30: The word "it" in the first paragraph refers to

4

A an iceberg that is towed B obtaining fresh water from icebergs

C the population of arid areas D real life

Question 31: According to the author, most of the world's fresh water is to be found in

A oceans B rivers C glaciers D reservoirs

Question 32: The word “currents” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to _

A pulls B waves C weather D flows of water

Question 33: How are icebergs formed?

A They break off from glaciers B Seawater freezes

C Rivers freeze D Small pieces of floating ice converge

Question 34: With which of the following ideas would the author be likely to agree?

A Towing icebergs to dry areas is economically possible

B Desalination of water is the best way to obtain drinking water

C Using water from icebergs is a very short-term solution to water shortages

D Icebergs could not be towed very far before they would melt

Question 35: Which is the best place where the following sentence will most properly fit? "To corral them and steer them to parts of the world where they are needed would not be too difficult."

Question 36: The word "that" in the last paragraph refers to _

A the volume B the water C the iceberg D the towing

Question 37: What are the technical matters mentioned as the difficulty arising in the process of obtaining

fresh water from the iceberg?

A The prevention of rapid melting iceberg

B The filtering water and the funneling it to shore in a large amount

C The purifying the fresh water and carrying it to shore

D The prevention of rapid melting and the funneling to shore in great volume
