Read the following passage and choose A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.

In many ways, the increasingly rapid pace of climate change is a direct result of the growth of the human population In the last 100 years, the world population has more than tripled, from just under 2 billion at the beginning of the century to nearly 7 billion today In addition, the average person uses more energy and natural resources than the average person

one hundred years ago, meaning that the rates of consumption are actually much higher than

just the increase in population would imply For example, it took the world 125 years to use the first one trillion barrels of oil The next trillion barrels will be used in less than 30 years, which is almost 5 times as fast, not three

All of these activities: food production, energy usage, and the use of natural resources, contribute to climate change in some way The greater amounts of oil and other fuels burned to create energy release chemicals which add to global warming In order to produce more food, farmers cut down trees to gain more land for their fields In addition, we cut down trees to build the houses needed for a larger population Those trees are an essential part of controlling global

warming; others are too numerous to mention.

In addition to a growing population, the world also has a population that desires a higher standard of living than in the past, and a higher standard of living requires the use of even more natural resources A look at one country will provide a clear example of this fact China is the

- Trang | 6

-Hocmai – Ngôi trường chung của học trò Việt Tổng đài tư vấn: 1900 69 33

world’s most populous nation, with 1.3

billion people Currently, the standard of living for most of those people is far below that of people in first world nations Therefore, the average Chinese citizen uses far fewer natural resources and less energy than the average citizen of the US or Japan But China is growing in power, and more of its citizens are beginning to expect a first world lifestyle If every Chinese person attains a first world lifestyle, the amount of energy and natural resources needed in the world will double, even if the standard of living in every other nation on Earth remains the same

as it is today

Question 36 How many years did it take the world years to use the first one trillion barrels of oil?

Question 37 The word “consumption” in the passage is closest in meaning to

Question 38 According to the passage, which of these activities Does NOT contribute

to climate change in some way?

Question 39 According to the passage, how does food production contribute to global warming?

A Producing more food leads to growth in the world population

B Food production uses many chemicals which add to global warming

C Food production requires that the forests be cleared to create farmland

D Food production decreases the ability of the air to release heat

Question 40 The word “others” in the passage refers to

A problems of global warming in the modern world

B examples of the environmental consequences of population growth

C ways in which our usage of oil will affect the world climate

D the reasons why trees are essential in controlling global warming

Question 41 According to the passage, how does the standard of living affect global warming?

A Higher standards of living are better for the environment

B First world nations create less population than developing nations

C The use of natural resources is directly related to the standard of living

D High standards of living lead to increases in world population

Question 42 Why does the author discuss China, Japan, and the United States?

A To compare the standard of their citizens

B To explain why China will not be able to become a first world nation

C To better illustrate the effects of an increase in standards of living

D To explain why the world's use of energy will need to double soon

Carnegie Hall, the famous concert hall in New York City, has again undergone a

restoration While this is not the first, it is certainly the most extensive in the building’s history.

As a result of this new restoration, Carnegie Hall once again has the quality of sound that it had when it was first built

Carnegie Hall owes its existence to Andrew Carnegie, the wealthy owner of a steel

- Trang | 8

-Hocmai – Ngôi trường chung của học trò Việt Tổng đài tư vấn: 1900 69 33

company in the late 1800s The hall was finished in 1891 and quickly gained a reputation as an excellent performing arts hall

where accomplished musicians gained fame Despite its reputation, however, the concert hall suffered from several detrimental renovations over the years During the Great Depression, when fewer people could afford to attend performances, the directors sold part of the building to commercial businesses As a result, a coffee shop was opened in one corner of the building, for which the builders replaced the brick and terra cotta walls with windowpanes A renovation in

1946 seriously damaged the acoustical quality of the hall when the makers of the film Carnegie Hall cut a gaping hole in the dome of the ceiling to allow for lights and air vents The hole was later covered with short curtains and a fake ceiling, but the hall never sounded the same afterwards

In 1960, the violinist Isaac Stern became involved in restoring the hall after a group of real

estate developers unveiled plans to demolish Carnegie Hall and build a high-rise office building

on the site This threat spurred Stern to rally public support for Carnegie Hall and encourage the City of New York to buy the property The movement was successful, and the concert hall is now owned by the city In the current restoration, builders tested each new material for its sound qualities, and they replaced the hole in the ceiling with a dome The builders also restored the outer walls to their original appearance and closed the coffee shop Carnegie has never sounded better, and its prospects for the future have never looked more promising
