In 1950, the world population was 3 billion, now 6.5 billion people who produce an enormous output of waste and utilize an unbelievable amount of resources and energy. Most people having children have no idea why they are even having children. Most do not really love their children because if they did, they would be very much involved in trying to ensure that their children have a world to survive in. Unless overpopulation is addressed, there is no way of slowing down greenhouse gas emissions. But corporations need workers, governments need taxpayers, bureaucrats and soldiers. More people means more money. The solution to all of our problems is simple. We just need to live in accordance with the basic laws of ecology. Weaken diversity and the entire system will be weakened and will ultimately collapse. All of the species within an ecosystem are interdependent. There is a limit to growth because there is a limit to carrying capacity. Human populations are exceeding carrying capacity and diminishing resources and diversity of species. Albert Einstein wrote that "if the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would have only four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man." And the honey bee is disappearing. Why? We do not know why. All around the world bees are disappearing and bees pollinate our plants. We are cutting down forests and plundering the oceans. We are polluting the soil, the air and the water and rapidly running out of fresh water to drink. Water is now being sold for more than the equivalent amount of gasoline. Câu 43: The passage is about _________. A. bees and human beings B. the decreasing of the world's population C. an important part of bees in overpopulation D. overpopulation and its effect Câu 44: Overpopulation __________.

It is true that the Indians were expropriated or exterminated, but this was not, as it has always been in Europe, a matter of the conqueror seizing the wealth of the conquered, for the Indian had never realized the potential riches of his country. It is also true that, in the Southern states, men lived on the labor of slaves, but slave labor did not make them fortunes; what made slavery in the South all the more inexcusable was that, in addition to being morally wicked, it didn’t even pay off handsomely. Thanks to the natural resources of the country, every American, until quite recently, could reasonably look forward to making more money than his father, so that, if he made less, the fault must be his; he was either lazy or inefficient. What an American values, therefore, is not the possession of money as such, but his power to make it as proof of his manhood; once he has proved himself by making it, it has served its function and can be lost or given away. In no society in history have rich men given away so large a part of their fortunes. A poor American feels guilty at being poor, but less guilty than an American renter who had inherited wealth but is doing nothing to increase it; what can the latter do but take to drink and psychoanalysis? Câu 48: Which of the following can be concluded from the first paragraph? A. Those who have a lot of money enjoy real freedom. B. Money is made either consciously or unconsciously. C. Some people not only want to get rich but wish others to be poor. D. Some European acquire money and power without even being conscious of it. Câu 49: To an American, money means ___________. A. proof of ability and manhood B. diligence and efficiency C. The freedom to do whatever he likes D.

A. limited B. on the increase C. rich D. poor Câu 51: In the passage, the word “fortunes” (Paragraphs 2 and 3) is used twice. What does it mean? A. good opportunities B. wealth C. power D. luck Câu 52: In the author’s opinion, an American renter __________. A. should feel content with this inherited wealth B. is even lazier and more inefficient than a poor American C. should feel more guilty than a poor American D. will take to drink if he does nothing to increase his wealth Chọn một phương án (A, B, C hoặc D) là câu viết lại gần nghĩa nhất so với câu đã cho, từ câu 53 đến câu 62 Câu 53: "Do you believe in what the boy says, Mary?" said Tom.
