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 following questions from 32 to 38
The Industrial Revolution changed material production, wealth, labor patterns and population
distribution. Although many rural areas remained farming communities during this time, the lives of
people in cities changed drastically. The new industrial labor opportunities caused a population shift
from the countryside to the cities. The new factory work led to a need for a strict system of factory
discipline.
During this time, child labor and the unsafe working conditions rampant in many factories led to
reform movements. Population movement was caused by people living in small farming communities
who moved to cities. These prospective workers were looking for wage labor in newly developed
factories.
During the early 19th century, there was a large population growth caused by the improvements
of the Agricultural Revolution of the 18th century. Many historians believe this population increase was
due to a dramatic decline in the death rate. A drop in famines, warfare and illnesses, and an increase in
food sources, all mixed to cause a population spike. As early as 1850, many European cities were
Trang 3/4 - Mã đề thi 003
centers of industrial growth. In fact, by 1850, over 50% of the entire population of Great Britain lived in
either a town or a city instead of in a rural community.
The growth of cities led to horrible living conditions. The wealthy fared far better than the
industrial workers because they could afford to live in the suburbs on the outskirts of the city. However,
for most of the factory workers, cities were dirty, crowded places where epidemics frequently broke out.
Overcrowded row homes created to house the workers and their families contributed to these
conditions. Government reports of the time indicated people sleeping as many as six to one bed.
The sanitary conditions in early industrial cities were filthy as well. Since the municipal governments did
not concern themselves with cleanliness at the time, the cities did not have proper waste disposal
systems, and people threw trash and sewage directly into the streets. The burning coal of the industrial
factories coated cities in a layer of grime and polluted the air, and water supplies were polluted by
waste.

A. Child labor and working condition B. The growth of cities
C. Social and economic impacts of urbanization D. Causes of population growth
Question 33: What was the reason for the population shift from the countryside to the cities?

Question 34: What were workers from small farming communities looking for in newly developed
factories?
A. better bosses B. wage labor C. safe working conditions D. reform movements
Question 35: What does the word “spike” in paragraph 3 mostly mean?
A. a sudden large increase B. the thickness of something
C. a continuous decrease D. the process of growing

either a town or a city
A. 20th century B. 18th century C. 17th century D. 19th century

A. the outskirts B. the suburbs C. the wealthy D. industrial workers
