Racism is the process by which systems and policies, actions and attitudes create inequitable
opportunities and outcomes for people based on race. Racism is more than just prejudice in thought
or action. It occurs when this prejudice – whether individual or institutional – is accompanied by
the power to discriminate against, oppress or limit the rights of others.
Race and racism have been central to the organisation of Australian society since European
colonisation began in 1788. As the First Peoples of Australia, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
peoples have borne the brunt of European colonisation and have a unique experience of racism.
The process of colonisation, and the beliefs that underpin it, continue to shape Australian society
today.
Racism adapts and changes over time, and can impact different communities in different ways,
with racism towards different groups intensifying in different historical moments. An example of
this is the spike in racism towards Asian and Asian-Australian people during the COVID-19
pandemic.
Racism includes all the laws, policies, ideologies and barriers that prevent people from
experiencing justice, dignity, and equity because of their racial identity. It can come in the form of
harassment, abuse or humiliation, violence or intimidating behaviour. However, racism also exists
in systems and institutions that operate in ways that lead to inequity and injustice.
Question 39: Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. What is Racism? B. Racism in Australian Society
C. Racism changes over time D. Elimination of intimidating behaviours
Question 40: According to the passage, racism ______.
A. is just prejudice in thought or action
B. was central to the organisation of Australian society until 1788
C. has never changed so far in the community

Question 41: The word It in paragraph 1 refers to ______.
A. race B. racism C. prejudice D. power
Question 42: The word ideologies in paragraph 4 mostly means ______.
A. a group of buildings B. a group of animals
C. a set of beliefs D. a set of different things
Question 43: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Racism is the process creating equitable opportunities and outcomes.
B. Racism occurs along with the power to discriminate against the rights of others.
C. The process of colonisation continue to shape Australian society today.

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 questions from 44 to 50.
Population growth through natural increase occurs when the birth rate exceeds the death rate.
For example, the U.S. birth rate in 2005 was 14 births per 1,000 people and the death rate was 8,
yielding a net increase of six persons for every 1,000 persons in the United States, or approximately
1.7 million additional persons for that year. This rate of natural increase occurred in spite of a very
small average family size measured by the total fertility rate—an estimate of the number of births
to women during their lifetimes.
The rate of natural increase of a population depends on birth and death rates, which are
strongly influenced by the population age structure. Births occur primarily to people in the
younger-adult age groups. If there are comparatively more young adults than older adults where
mortality is highest, then even at replacement fertility levels (when each woman has about an
average of two children) there will be more births than deaths.
Hence, a relatively large number of couples each having one or two children can still produce
a large excess of births. This phenomenon is known as population momentum.
In the United States, birth rates are higher than death rates at present, partly due to the
relatively young age structure of the U.S. population. Immigrants, who are younger on average
than the U.S.-born population, play a significant role in keeping the United States younger than
most other developed countries. For example, among U.S. Hispanics, 40 percent of whom are
foreign-born, there are approximately 10 births for every death.
The momentum of population growth in less developed countries will only be slowed when
the large number of young adults resulting from previous high fertility have passed out of the
childbearing years and a succeeding smaller generation reproduces at replacement level fertility.
This momentum is very pronounced in China, where women have about two children, but the
number of women having children is now much larger than in the previous generation. Thus, even
though it has reached replacement level fertility, China’s population continues to grow.
Question 44: Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. People in the Younger-Adult Age Groups
B. Replacement Fertility Levels
C. Previous High Fertility in China
D. It’s Tough to Slow or Stop Population Growth
Question 45: The word estimate in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.

Question 46: According to paragraph 1, natural population growth ______.
A. of the U.S. birth rate in 2005 was 8
B. was approximately 17 million additional persons for 2005
C. occurs when the birth rate is larger than the death rate.
D. is the number of births to women during their lifetimes
Question 47: The word which in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
 A. population B. birth and death rates
C. The rate D. population age structure
Question 48: The word significant in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. tolerant B. pleasant C. important D. relevant
Question 49: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. There will be more births than deaths if there are more young adults than older adults.
B. Couples having one or two children can still produce a large excess of births.
C. 40 percent of U.S. Hispanics are foreign-born.
D. The number of women having children in China now is smaller than in the past.
Question 50: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. The world population has been increasing no matter how we try to control it.
B. There will be more older adults than younger adults in the United States soon.
C. Population momentum in the US is larger than that of China.
D. It’s unclear whether the replacement level fertility will be lower or not.
