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 45 to 54.
Traditionally in America, helping the poor was a matter for private charities or local governments. Arriving immigrants depended mainly on predecessors from their homeland to help them start a new life or get acquainted with new living conditions. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, several European nations instituted public-welfare programs. But such a movement was slow to take hold in the United States because the rapid pace of industrialization and the ready availability of farmland seemed to confirm the belief that anyone who was willing to work could find a job in factories, companies or in other organizations.
Most of the programs started during the Depression era were temporary relief measures, but one of the programs Social Security - has become an American institution. Paid for by deductions from the paychecks of working people, Social Security ensures that retired persons receive a modest monthly income and also provides unemployment insurance, disability insurance, and other assistance to those who need it. Social Security payments to retired persons can start at the age of 62, but many wait until age 65, when the payments are slightly higher. Recently, there has been concern that the Social Security fund may not have enough money to fulfill its obligations in the 21st century, when the population of elderly Americans is expected to increase dramatically. Policy makers in the United States have proposed various ways to make up the anticipated deficit, but a long-term solution is still being debated.
In the years since Roosevelt, other American presidents have established assistance programs with the aim of helping the poor or the needy. These include Medicaid and Medicare; food stamps, certificates that people can use to purchase food; and public housing which is built at federal expense and made available to persons on low incomes. Needy Americans can also turn to sources other than the government for help. A broad spectrum of private charities and voluntary organizations is available. Volunteerism is on the rise in the United States, especially among retired persons. It is estimated that almost 50 percent of American people over the age of 18 do volunteer work, and nearly 75 percent of the households in the United States contribute money to charity. 
Question 45: New immigrants to the U.S. could seek help from ___________.
	A. only charity organizations	B. volunteer organizations
	C. the US government agencies	D. the people who came earlier
Question 46: It took welfare programs a long time to gain a foothold in the U.S. due to the fast growth of______.
	A. industrialization	B. population	C. modernization	D. urbanization
Question 47: The word “instituted” in the first paragraph mostly means __________.
	A. executed	B. introduced	C. enforced	D. studied
Question 48: The Social Security program has become possible thanks to ___________.
	A. donations from companies	B. people’s willingness to work
	C. deductions from wages	D. enforcement laws
Question 49: The word “assistance” in the reading passage mostly means “__________.”
	A. support	B. commitment	C. participation	D. concern
Question 50: That Social Security payments will be a burden comes from the concern that ___________.
	A. the program discourages working people	B. the number of elderly people is growing
	C. elderly people ask for more money	D. younger people do not want to work
Question 51: Persons on low incomes can access public housing through ___________.
	A. state spending	B. low rents	C. federal expenditure	D. donations

Question 54: The passage mainly discusses ___________.
	A. immigration into America	B. public assistance in America

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 55 to 64.
 The underlying cause of biodiversity loss is the explosion in human population. People already consume more than half of all the food, crops, medicines, and other useful items produced by the Earth’s organisms. But the problem is not sheer numbers of people alone: The unequal distribution and consumption of resources and other forms of wealth on the planet must be considered. At the beginning of the 21st century, the average middle-class American consumed an amazing 30 times what a person living in a developing nation consumed, according to some estimates. Thus the impact of the American people must be multiplied by 30 to derive an accurate comparative estimate of the impact that such industrialized nations have on the world’s ecosystems
 The single greatest threat to global biodiversity is the human destruction of natural habitats. Since the invention of agriculture about 10,000 years ago, but especially in the past several centuries, human have radically transformed the face of planet Earth. The conversion of forests, grasslands and wetlands for agricultural purposes, coupled with the multiplication and growth of urban centers and the building of dams and canals, highways and railways has physically altered ecosystems at an alarming pace. Global warming threatens to destroy the habitats of countless species, driving many to the edge of extinction.
 In addition, overexploitation of the world’s natural resources, such as fisheries and forests, has greatly outstripped the rate at which these systems can recover. For example, 12 of the 13 largest oceanic fisheries have been severely depleted. Modern fishing techniques, such as using huge fishing nets and bottom vacuuming techniques, remove everything in their paths-including tons of fish and invertebrates of no commercial use. These victims, as well as porpoises and seals that are also hauled in as accidental catches, are permanently removed from their populations, significantly altering the ecosystems in which they live.
 As human populations have grown, people have spread out to the four corners of the Earth. In the process, whether on purpose or by accident, they have introduced non-native species that have created ecological nightmares, disrupting local ecosystems and, in many cases, directly drive native species extinct. For example, the brown tree snake was introduced to the island of Guam, probably as a stowaway on visiting military cargo ships after World War II (1939-1945). The snake devastated the native bird population, driving over half a dozen native species of birds to extinction – simply because the native birds had not been exposed to this type of predator and did not recognize the danger posed by these snakes.
Question 55: The passage is about _______.
A. biodiversity loss	B. overexploitation of the world’s natural resources 
C. the effects of human on biodiversity	D. the Earth’s organisms and population
Question 56: According to the first paragraph,_______.
A. everybody on earth enjoys the same distribution
B. industrialized countries do not have impacts on the world’s ecosystems
C. a person in a developing nation consumes 30 times more than a person in the US does
D. the rich consume much more than the poor do 
Question 57: The word “sheer” has a close meaning to _______.
A. complete 	B. thin	 C. steep 	D. turn 
Question 58: Which of the followings is not referred in the first paragraph?
A. The US people have greater effects on the ecosystem than people from any other countries.
B. Industrialized countries have tried to reduce their consumption of products from the world’s ecosystems.
C. The growth of human population has triggered biodiversity loss.
D. More than half of the people’s consumption is produced from the Earth’s organisms.
 Question 59: The word “radically” has a close meaning to _______.
A. certainly	B. frequently	C. differently	D. significantly 
Question 60: Which change is not referred in the second paragraph?
A. Deforestation	B. Construction	C. Invention	D. Urbanization
