Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheer to indicate the correct answer
to each of the following questions.
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 keeps sellers 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
Question 39: Supporters of free-market globalization point out that _.
A investment will be allocated only to rich countries B taxes that are paid on goods will be increased
C there will be less competition among producers D consumers can benefit from cheaper products
Trang 4Question 40: The word “allocated” in the passage mostly means _.
Question 41: The phrase “keeps sellers on their toes” in the passage mostly means _.
A prevents sellers from selling new products B forces sellers to go bare-footed
C makes sellers responsive to any changes D allows sellers to stand on their own feet
Question 42: According to critics of globalization, several developed countries have become rich because of
_
A their help to developing countries B their neo-liberal policies
C their protectionism and subsidies D their prevention of bubbles
Question 43: The debate over globalization is about how _.
A to spread ideas and strategies for globalization
B to govern the global economy for
C to use neo-liberal policies for the benefit of the rich countries
D to terminate globalization in its entirety

larger than the male She sometimes reaches a body length of twenty-two to twenty-four inches, with a wingspread
up to fifty inches To impress her, the male does a strange courtship dance He bobs He bows He ruffles his feathers and hops around with an important air He flutters from limb to limb and makes flying sorties into the air Sometimes
he returns with an offering of food They share the repast, after which she joins the dance, hopping and bobbing about as though keeping time to the beat of an inner drum
Owls are poor home builders They prefer to nest in a large hollow in a tree or even to occupy the deserted nest of a hawk or crow These structures are large and rough, built of sticks and bark and lined with leaves and feathers Sometimes owls nest on a rocky ledge, or even on the bare ground, even to occupy the deserted nest of a hawk or crow These structures are large and rough, built of sticks and bark and lined with leaves and feathers Sometimes owls nest on a rocky ledge, or even on the bare ground The mother lays two or three round, dull white
