Different regions have different rates of population growth, but in the 20 th century, the world saw the biggest increase in its population in human history due to medical advances and massive increase in agricultural productivity made by the Green Revolution.

In 2000, the United Nation estimated that the world’s population was then growing at the rate of 1.14% (or about 75 million people) per year. According to data from the CIA’s 2005 – 2006 World Fact books, the world human population currently increases by 203,800 people every day. The 2007 CIA fact book increased this to 211,090 people every day.

Globally, the population growth rate has been steadily declining from its peak of 2.19% in 1963, but growth remains high in the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa.

In some countries there is negative population growth, especially in Central and Eastern Europe (mainly due to low fertility rates) and Southern Africa (due to the high number of HIV – related deaths). Within the next decade, Japan and some countries in Western Europe are also expected to encounter negative population growth due to sub – replacement fertility rates.

Population growth which exceeds the carrying capacity of an area or environment results in overpopulation. Conversely, such areas may be considered “under-populated” if the population is not large enough to maintain an economic system. 41.

THANKSGIVINGThanksgiving is celebrated in the US on the fourth Thursday in November. For many

Thanksgiving is associated with the time when Europeans first came to North America. In 1620 the ship the Mayflowers arrived, bringing about 150 people who today are usually called Pilgrims. They arrived at the beginning of a very hard winter and could not find enough to eat, so many of them died. But in the following summer Native Americans showed them what foods were safe to eat, so that they could save food for the next winter. They held a big celebration to thank God and the Native Americans for the fact that they had survived.

Today people celebrate Thanksgiving to remember these early days. The most important part of the celebration is a traditional dinner with foods that come from North America. The meal includes turkey, sweet potatoes (also called yams) and cranberries, which are made into a kind of sauce or jelly. The turkey is filled with stuffing or dressing, and many families have their own special recipe. Dessert is pumpkin made into a pie.

On Thanksgiving there are special television programs and sports events. In New York there is the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, when a long line of people wearing fancy costumes march through the streets with large balloons in- the shape of imaginary characters.

At least 4,000 elephants are killed each year in order to meet the global demand for ivory, which is used to make carvings, jewelry and other products although it is illegal to sell ivory since 1989 anywhere.

“Americans should be aware that there is still a problem with elephant poaching and loss to the illegal ivory trade,” Ginette Hemley, Fund’s vice president for species conservation, told The Washington Post in September. And so our message is “Don’t buy it, and don’t take that chance”.

A Wildlife Fund report states that the United States seized 8,300 illegal ivory items between 1995 and 2002. Each week there are about 1,000 ivory auctions, the report said.

As for tigers, their parts are used in traditional Chinese medicine. Tiger bones are used as a pain reliever in traditional medicine. Even tiger’s whiskers are sold because some people in Asia think they are a good-luck charm – like a rabbit’s foot in the United States. “ Part of our job is education,” said Professor Dillon. “ The other part is law enforcement.

Read the passage and choose the correct answers:Scientists often divide resources into two groups: renewable and non– renewable. When a

resource is used, it takes some times to replace it. If the resource can be replaced quickly and easily, it is called renewable. If it cannot be replaced quickly and easily, it is non-renewable. All fossil fuels are non-renewable resources. Solar energy, air, and water are usually called renewable because there is an unlimited supply.

However, this definition may change if people are not careful with these resources. The amount of solar energy that reaches the earth depends on the atmosphere. If the atmosphere is

41

polluted, the solar energy that reaches the earth may be dangerous. If humans continue to pollute the air, it will not contain the correct amounts of these gases.

Many resources are limited and non- renewable, and many are in danger of pollution. As a consequence, resources must be conserved and the environment protected. Conservation must become an important part of everyone’s life.

After World War II, a number of Asian countries became independent. Many of the new independent Asian countries wanted to use a new type of competition where Asian dominance should not be shown by violence and should be strengthened by mutual understanding. In August 1948, during the 14th Olympic Games in London, Indian representative Guru Dutt Sondhi proposed to sports leaders of the Asian teams the idea of having discussions about holding the Asian Games. They agreed to form the Asian Athletic Federation. A preparatory committee was set up to draft the charter for the Asian amateur athletic federation. In February, 1949, the Asian athletic federation was formed and used the name Asian Games Federation. It was decided to hold the first Asian Games in 1951 in New Delhi the capital of India.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35

Stamp collecting is the collecting of postage stamps and related objects, such as envelopes or packages with stamps on them. It is one of the world’s most popular hobbies, with estimates of the number of collectors ranging up to 20 million in the United States alone. Many casual collectors enjoy accumulating stamps without worrying about the tiny details, but the creation of a large or comprehensive collection generally requires some philatelic knowledge. This is especially important for those who intend to spend large amounts for stamps. Stamp collectors are an important source of revenue for some small countries that create limited runs of elaborate stamps designed mainly to be bought by stamp collectors. The stamps produced by these countries far exceed the postal needs of the countries. Some collectors, observing the generally rising prices of rare stamps, have taken to Philatelic Investment. Rare stamps are among the most portable of tangible investments, and are easy to store. They offer an attractive alternative to art, other collectible investments, and precious metals.

II/ READING: 1. Read the following passage and choose the best answers by circling A, B, C or D. Long ago a lot of people thought the moon was a god. Other people thought it was just a light in the sky. And others thought it was a big ball of cheese. Then telescopes were made. And men saw that the moon was really another world. They wondered what it was like. They dreamed of going there. On July 20, 1969, that dream came true. Two American men landed on the moon. Their names were Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. The first thing the men found was that the moon is covered with dust. The dust is so thick that the men left footprints where they walked. Those were the first marks a living thing had ever made on the moon. And they could stay there for years and years. There is no wind or rain to wipe them off. The two men walked on the moon for hours. They picked up rocks to bring back to earth for study. They dug up dirt to bring back. They set up machines to find out things people wanted to know. Then they climbed back into their moon landing craft. Next day the landing craft roared as the two men took off from the moon. They joined Michael Collins in the spaceship that waited for them above the moon. Then they were off on their long trip back to earth. Behind them they left the plains and tall mountains of the moon. They left the machines they had set up. And they left footprints that may last forever. 41. This story tells ______________________

By 1884, a statue which was 151 feet tall had been erected in Paris. The following year, it was taken to pieces and sent to America. By the end of October 1886, the statue had been put together again and it was officially presented to the American people by Bartholdi.

Throughout history there have been many great explorers. Have you, for example, heard of Marco Polo, the famous Italian traveler? He was the first European to travel to China. He arrived in China in the late 13th century. About 200 years later, Christopher Columbus sailed from Spain by ship. He was looking for a new way to reach India. However, as you probably know, he didn’t reach India. He landed in America. Five hundred years after Columbus in the 1930s a famous explorer named Richard Byrd was one of the first persons to fly over both the North and the South Poles. Today we continue to explore this world and are studying to explore other worlds, too. In the 1930s Russian and American scientists sent many unmanned spacecraft to the moon. These spacecraft sent back very valuable information about the moon. Then on July 16th 1969 the first manned spaceship to the moon left earth. On that day Apollo 11 blasted off with three American astronauts on board. Four days after blast – off, two of these astronauts landed on the moon. They later explored the surface of the moon. About two days after landing on the moon, they started back to the earth. They arrived safely back on earth a few days later. Today we are sending unmanned spacecraft to other planets. In the future, we might walk on Mars or Venus the way we did on the moon. We might even travel to other galaxies. Who knows? One thing we know for sure is that we will continue to explore this world and other worlds, too.

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.The Origins of the Olympic Games can be traced back to ancient Greece, to as far back as

776 B.C. It was a Greek tradition to hold athletic competitions every four years in honor of their gods or dead heroes.

58

The prizes awarded to the winners of each event in those days were a crown of olive and a palm branch. Although this may seem meaningless in modern times, the true prize lay in the honor of having won the event. The winners were given places of honor on public occasions. In some town they were even exempted from paying taxes.

The first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens in 1896. Since then, nations from around the world have been meeting every four years to compete against one another. New Olympic records are set every time they meet. The only exception to this quadrennial event was in 1944, when the Olympic Games were not held because of the Second World War.

THE SECOND TERM PRACTICE TEST 2

I. Read the passage carefully then choose the correct answers.The last two decades have seen enormous changes in the way people's lives are affected by

IT. Twenty years ago, few people had access to a computer while today most people use them at work, home or school and use of e-mail and the Internet is an every day event.

59

These developments have brought many benefits to our lives. E-mail makes communication much easier and more immediate. This has numerous benefits for business, commerce, and education. The World Wide Web means that information on every conceivable subject is now available to us.

THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH88

Buzz Aldrin was a part of the Apollo 11 mission in 1969 when man first walked on the moon. Neil Armstrong went first, followed by Buzz. Nothing in all his training had been prepared by him for that moment, and he has been traveling the world ever since, reliving the experience.

He was born in New Jersey in 1930, and he graduated from West Point Military Academy. He served as a pilot in Korea and West Germany, and 1966 he was chosen an astronaut.

Apollo 11 was launched to the moon on July 16. Four days later they landed near the sea of Tranquility. The mission ended on July 24, with a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean.

On coming back to earth, he became very depressed, and suffered from alcoholism. He had married for the first time when he was young, and had three children . His second marriage lasted a very short time. Fortunately, he seems to have found happiness and stability with his third wife, Loris Driggs Cannon, who saved him from self –destruction. They now live with their three dogs in California and six cars “for fun”. He has written his autobiography and a science fiction book, called Encounter with Tiber, which was published in 1996. He now travels the world, giving lecture tours and raising funds for space exploration.
