No one knows the limits of the population that the earth can support Thomas Malthus, an
English economist, developed a theory that became widely accepted in the nineteenth century
He suggested that because world population tended to increase more rapidly than food supply,
we should continuously constrain available resources Malthus cited wars, famines, epidemics and other disasters as in the usual limitations of world population growth With recent advances
in science and technology, including improved agricultural methods and great progresses and
in medicine, some of the limiting factors in population growth have been lessened, with obvious results International organizations have recommended programmes to encourage general
economic development that target areas along with a decrease in birth rates to effect a lasting solution

Super skyscrapers, underwater cities, 3D-printed homes, and holidays in space will all be a
reality in 100 years' time, according to the SmartThings Future Living Report The report
presented findings from a survey conducted by Samsung’s SmartThings company with a group
of experts on space, architecture, and urban planners Several futurologists and adults of
different occupations also took part in the survey
The experts suggest that in a century's time humans will be able to live in 'Earth-scrapers',
which will go up to 25 storeys underground They also believe that 'bubble cities' will be created underwater making the depths habitable for humans They say the way we live, work and play will be totally different to how we do these things today The authors of the report say that 25
years ago, people could not imagine how the Internet and smartphones would change our
lives They have revolutionised the way we communicate, learn and do daily things So, it is
understandable that the changes in the next century would be even more unbelievable
Researchers also questioned 2,000 adults about the predictions they thought were most likely
to happen in the future Respondents predict that in the future, few people will go to an office
but will work from home and have virtual work meetings instead People will have advanced 3D printers that will let us download a design for furniture or a food recipe and then 'print' the sofa, table or pizza at home There will also be less need for visits to the doctor We will all have a
home health capsule which will tell us what the problem is and give us treatment We will also
go into space for holidays and to get resources that we have used up on Earth A prediction that was missing was about the popularity of English – whether people would still need to study
English or not

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions
Though called by sweet-sounding names like Firinga or Katrina, tropical cyclones are huge
rotating storms 200 to 2,000 kilometers wide with winds that blow at speeds of more than 100
kilometers per hour (kph)
Weather professionals know them as tropical cyclones, but they are called hurricanes in the
Caribbean Sea, typhoons in the Pacific Ocean, and cyclones in the Indian Ocean They occur in both the northern and southern hemispheres Large ones have destroyed cities and killed
hundreds of thousands of people
Tropical cyclones begin over water that is warmer than 27 degrees Celsius (80 degrees
Fahrenheit) slightly north or south of the earth’s equator Warm, humid air full of water vapor
moves upward The earth’s rotation causes the growing storm to start to rotate around its center (called the eye) At a certain height, the water vapor condenses, changing to liquid and
releasing heat The heat draws more air and water vapor upward, creating a cycle as air and
water vapor rise and liquid water falls If the cycle speeds up until winds reach 118 kilometers
per hour, the storm qualifies as a tropical cyclone
Most deaths in tropical cyclones are caused by storm surge This is a rise in sea level,
sometimes seven meters or more, caused by the storm pushing against the ocean’s surface
Storm surge was to blame for the flooding of New Orleans in 2005 The storm surge of Cyclone Nargis in 2008 in Myanmar pushed seawater nearly four meters deep some 40 kilometers
inland, resulting in many deaths
It has never been easy to forecast a tropical cyclone accurately The goal is to know when and where the next tropical cyclone will form “And we can’t really do that yet,” says David Nolan, a weather researcher from the University of Miami The direction and strength of tropical cyclones are also difficult to predict, even with computer assistance In fact, long-term forecasts are poor; small differences in the combination of weather factors lead to very different storms More
accurate forecasting could help people decide to evacuate when a storm is on the way
13 As stated in paragraph 1, tropical cyclones are storms with winds blowing at speeds of
A more than 100 kph B at least 200 kph
C less than 100 kph D no less than 200 kph
14 The word “they” in paragraph 1 refers to
A sweet-sounding names B wind speeds
C tropical cyclones D weather professionals
15 According to the passage, tropical cyclones are called typhoons in
