READING
PASSAGE 1
Overpopulation, the situation of having large numbers of people with too few resources and too little space, is
closely associated with poverty. It can result from high population density, or from low amounts of resources,
or from both. Excessively high population densities put stress on available resources. Only a certain number
of people can be supported o a given area of land, and that number depends on how much food and other
resources the land can provide. In countries where people live primarily by means of simple farming, gardening,
herding, hunting, and gathering, even large areas of land can support only small numbers of people because
these labor - intensive subsistence activities produce only small amounts of food.
In developed countries such as the United States, Japan and the countries of Western Europe, overpopulation
generally is not considered a major cause of poverty. These countries produce large quantities of food through
mechanized farming, which depends on commercial fertilizers, large - scale irrigation, and agricultural
machinery. This form of production provides enough food to support the high densities of people in
metropolitan areas.
A country's level of poverty can depend greatly on its mix of population density and agricultural productivity.
Bangladesh, for example, has one of the world's highest population densities, with 1,147 persons per sq km. A
large majority of the people of Bangladesh engage in low - productivity manual farming, which contributes to
the country's extremely high level of poverty. Some of the smaller countries in Western Europe, such as the
Netherlands and Belgium, have high population densities as well. These countries practice mechanized farming
and are involved in high - tech industries, however, are therefore have high standards of living.
At the other end of the spectrum, many countries in sub - Saharan Africa have population densities of less than
30 persons per sq km. Many people in these countries practice manual subsistence farming, these countries
also have infertile land, and lack the economic resources and technology to boost productivity. As a
consequence, these nations are very poor. The United States has both relatively low population density and
high agricultural productivity; it is one of the world's wealthiest nations.
High birth rates contribute to overpopulation in many developing countries. Children are assets to many poor
families because they provide labor, usually for farming. Cultural norms in traditionally rural societies
commonly sanction the value of large families. Also, the governments of developing countries often provide
little or no support, financial or political, for farming planning; even people who wish to keep their families
small have difficulty doing so. For all those reasons, developing countries tend to have high rates of population
growth.
138. Which of the following is given as a definition of paragraph 1?
A. Overpopulation B. Population density C. Simple farming D. Poverty
139. What will suffer when there are excessively high population densities?

C. there is an abundance of resources D. there is no shortage of skilled labor.
142. Bangladesh is a country where the level of poverty depends greatly on ______,
A. its population density only B. both population density and agricultural productivity
C. population density in metropolitan areas. D. its high agricultural productivity.

PASSAGE 2
Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and
medieval worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term "reading" undoubtedly meant reading aloud.
Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace.
One should be wary, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud was
a distraction to others. Examinations of factors related to the historical development of silent reading have
revealed that it became the usual mode of reading for most adults mainly because the tasks themselves
changed in character.
The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number of readers. As the number
of readers increased, the number of potential listeners declined and thus there was some reduction in the need
to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of reading as
a private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would
cause distraction to other readers.
Towards the end of the century, there was still considerable argument over whether books should be used for
information or treated respectfully and over whether the reading of materials such as newspapers was in
some way mentally weakening. Indeed, this argument remains with us still in education. However, whatever
its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one
hand and by books and periodicals for a specialised readership on the other.
By the end of the twentieth century, students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and to use
reading skills which were inappropriate, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural and
technological changes in the century had greatly altered what the term "reading" implied.
148. Reading aloud was more common in the medieval world because:
A. people relied on reading for entertainment B. silent reading had not been discovered
C. there were few places available for private reading D. few people could read to themselves
149. The word "commonplace" in the first paragraph mostly means:
A. for everybody's use B. most preferable C. attracting attention D. widely used
150. The development of silent reading during the last century indicated ________
A. an increase in the average age of readers B. an increase in the number of books
C. a change in the nature of reading D. a change in the status of literate people
151. Silent reading, especially in public places, flourished mainly because of:
A. the decreasing need to read aloud B. the development of libraries
C. the increase in literacy D. the decreasing number of listeners
152. It can be inferred that the emergence of the mass media and specialised reading materials was an
indication of _____________.
A. a decline of standards of literacy B. a change in the readers' interest
C. an alteration in educationalists’attitudes D. an improvement of printing techniques.
153. The phrase "a specialised readership" in paragraph 4 mostly means:
A. a requirement for readers in a particular area of knowledge
B. a limited number of readers in a particular area of knowledge
C. a reading volume for particular professionals
D. a status for readers specialised in mass media
154. The phrase"oral reader" in the last paragraph mostly means a person who:
A. is good at public speaking B. practises reading to an audience
C. takes part in an audition D. is interested in spoken language
155. All of the following might be the factors that affected the continuation of the old
shared literacy culture EXCEPT _______.
A. the inappropriate reading skills B. the specialised readership
C. the diversity of reading materials D. the printed mass media
156. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. Reading aloud was more common in the past than it is today.
B. Not all printed mass media was appropriate for reading aloud.
C. The decline of reading aloud was wholly due to its distracting effect.

C. show how reading methods have improved D. encourage the growth of reading.
