Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
	Basic to any understanding of Canada in the 20 years after the Second World War is the country’s impressive population growth. For every three Canadians in 1945, there were over five in 1966. In September 1966 Canada’s population passed the 20 million mark. Most of this surging growth came from natural increase. The depression of the 1930s and the war had held back marriages, and the catching-up process began after 1945. The baby boom continued through the decade of the 1950s, producing a population increase of nearly fifteen percent in the five years from 1951 to 1956. This rate of increase had been exceeded only once before in Canada’s history, in the decade before 1911, when the prairies were being settled. Undoubtedly, the good economic conditions of the 1950s supported a growth in the population, but the expansion also derived from a trend toward earlier marriages and an increase in the average size of families. In 1957 the Canadian birth rate stood at 28 per thousand, one of the highest in the world. 
	After the peak year of 1957, the birth rate in Canada began to decline. It continued falling until in 1966 it stood at the lowest level in 25 years. Partly this decline reflected the low level of births during the depression and the war, but it was also caused by changes in Canadian society. Young people were staying at school longer, more women were working; young married couples were buying automobiles or houses before starting families; rising living standards were cutting down the size of families. It appeared that Canada was once more falling in step with the trend toward smaller families that had occurred all through the Western world since the time of the Industrial Revolution. 
	Although the growth in Canada’s population had slowed down by 1966 (the increase in the first half of the 1960s was only nine percent), another large population wave was coming over the horizon. It would be composed of the children who were born during the period of the high birth rate prior to 1957. 
Question 35: What does the passage mainly discuss? 
	A. Educational changes in Canadian society 
	B. Canada during the Second World War 
	C. Population trends in postwar Canada 
	D. Standards of living in Canada 
Question 36. The word “five” in bold refers to 
	A. Canadians	 B. years 	C. decades 	D. marriages 
Question 37: The word “surging” in bold is closest in meaning to 
	A. new 	B. extra 	C. accelerating 	D. surprising 
Question 38: The author suggests that in Canada during the 1950’s 
	A. the urban population decreased rapidly 	B. fewer people married 
	C. economic conditions were poor 	D. the birth rate was very high 
Question 39: The word “trend” in bold is closest in meaning to 
	A. tendency 	B. aim 	C. growth 	D. directive 
Question 40: The word “peak” in bold is closest in meaning to 
	A. pointed 	B. dismal 	C. mountain 	D. maximum 
Question 41: The word “it” in bold refers to 
	A. horizon 	B. population wave 	C. nine percent 	D. first half 
Question 42: The phrase “prior to” in bold is closest in meaning to 
	A. behind 	B. since 	C. during 	D. preceding 
Read the following passage mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions 
    The countryside of Britain is well known for its beauty and many contrasts: its bare mountains and moorland, its lakes, rivers and woods, and its long, often wild coastline. Many of the most beautiful areas are national parks and are protected from development. When British people think of the countryside they think of farmland, as well as open spaces. They imagine cows or sheep in green fields enclosed by hedges or stone walls, and fields of wheat and barley. Most farmland is privately owned but is crossed by a network of public footpaths. 
     Many people associate the countryside with peace and relaxation. They spend their free time walking or cycling there, or go to the country for a picnic or a pub lunch. In summer people go to fruit farms and pick strawberries and other fruit. Only a few people who live in the country work on farms. Many commute to work in towns. Many others dream of living in the country, where they believe they would have a better and healthier lifestyle.  
     The countryside faces many threats. Some are associated with modern farming practices, and the use of chemicals harmful to plants and wildlife. Land is also needed for new houses. The green belt, an area of land around many cities, is under increasing pressure. Plans to build new roads are strongly opposed by organizations trying to protect the countryside. Protesters set up camps to prevent, or at least delay, the building work.  
     America has many areas of wild and beautiful scenery, and there are many areas, especially in the West in states like Montana and Wyoming, where few people live. In the New England states, such as Vermont and New Hampshire, it is common to see small farms surrounded by hills and green areas. In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and other Midwestern states, fields of corn or wheat reach to the horizon and there are many miles between towns.  
     Only about 20% of Americans live outside cities and towns. Life may be difficult for people who live in the country. Services like hospitals and schools may be further away and going shopping can mean driving long distances. Some people even have to drive from their homes to the main road where their mail is left in a box. In spite of the disadvantages, many people who live in the country say that they like the safe, clean, attractive environment. But their children often move to a town or city as soon as they can.  
    As in Britain, Americans like to go out to the country at weekends. Some people go on camping or fishing trips, others go hiking in national parks. 
Question 43: We can see from the passage that in the countryside of Britain ______. 
A. none of the areas faces the sea B. only a few farms are publicly owned 
C. most beautiful areas are not well preserved D. it is difficult to travel from one farm to another 
Question 44: The word “enclosed” in paragraph one is closest in meaning to ______. 
A. rotated B. embraced C. blocked D. surrounded 
Question 45: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an activity of relaxation in the countryside of Britain? 
A. Going swimming B. Picking fruit C. Going for a walk D. Riding a bicycle 
Question 46: What does the word “they” in paragraph 2 refer to? 
A. Those who dream of living in the country B. Those who go to fruit farms in summer 
C. Those who go to the country for a picnic D. Those who commute to work in towns 
Question 47: Which of the following threatens the countryside in Britain? 
A. Protests against the building work B. Modern farming practices 
C. Plants and wildlife D. The green belt around cities 
Question 48: The phrase “associated with” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______. 
A. supported by B. referred to C. separated from D. related to 
Question 49: According to the passage, all of the following are true EXCEPT ______. 
A. the use of chemicals harms the environment of the countryside 
B. camps are set up by protesters to stop the construction work 
C. the green belt is under pressure because of the need for land 
D. all organizations strongly oppose plans for road construction 
Question 50: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? 
A. The majority of American people live in cities and towns. 
B. Many British people think of the country as a place of peace and relaxation. 
C. Towns in some Midwestern states in the US are separated by long distances. 
D. Both British and American people are thinking of moving to the countryside.
