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
It is hard to get any agreement on the precise meaning of the term "social class" In everyday life, people tend to have a different approach to those they consider their equals from which they assume with people
they consider higher or lower than themselves in social scale The criteria we use to 'place' a new
acquaintance, however, are a complex mixture of factors Dress, way of speaking, area of residence in a given city or province, education and manners all play a part
In ancient civilizations, the Sumerian, for example, which flourished in the lower Euphrates valley from
2000 to 5000 B.C social differences were based on birth, status or rank, rather than on wealth Four main classes were recognized These were the rulers, the priestly administrators, the freemen (such as
craftsmen, merchants or farmers) and the slaves
In Greece, after the sixth-century B.C., there was a growing conflict between the peasants and the landed aristocrats, and a gradual decrease in the power of the aristocracy when a kind of „middle class‟ of traders
and skilled workers grew up The population of Athens, for example, was divided into three main classes
which were politically and legally distinct About one-third of the total were slaves, who did not count
politically at all, a fact often forgotten by those who praise Athens as the nursery of democracy The next
main group consisted of resident foreigners, the, „metics‟ who were freemen, though they too were
allowed no share in political life The third group was the powerful body of „citizens”, who were
themselves divided into sub-classes
In the later Middle Ages, however, the development of a money economy and the growth of cities and trade led to the rise of another class, the „burghers‟ or city merchants and mayors These were the
predecessors of the modern middle classes Gradually high office and occupation assumed importance in
determining social position, as it became more and more possible for a person born to one station in life to
move to another This change affected the towns more than the country areas, where remnants of
feudalism lasted much longer
36 We evaluate other people's social position by
A questioning them in great details
B their dress, manners, area of residence and other factors
C finding out how much their salary is
D the kind of job they do
37 The word "criteria" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to
38 The four main classes of Sumerian civilization
A did not include slaves
Trang 4B took little account of financial standing
C took little account of status or rank
D were not clearly defined
39 The decline of the Greek aristocracy's power in the sixth century B.C
A caused international conflicts in the area
B coincided with the rise of a new "middle class" of traders and peasants
C was assisted by a rise in the number of slaves
D lasted for only a short time
40 The word "count" in the third paragraph is most likely to correspond to
41 Athens is often praised as the nursery of democracy
A even though slaves were allowed to vote
B because its three main classes were politically and legally distinct
C in spite of its heavy dependence on slave labor
D because even very young children could vote
42 The word "predecessors" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to
A supporters B descendants C ancestors D authorities
43 The "burghers" of the later Middle Ages
A became more powerful than the old aristocracy
B ignored class distinctions
C created an entirely new social class
D were mainly to be found in country areas
44 The word "remnants" in the third paragraph is most likely to correspond to
45 The passage is mainly about
A the human history
B the modern society
C the division of social classes in the ancient world
D the social life in ancient Greece

World population and Climate change
In many ways, the increasingly rapid pace of climate change is a direct result of the growth of the
human population [1] In the last 100 years, the world population has more than tripled, from just under 2 billion at the beginning of the century to nearly 7 billion today [2] In addition, the average person uses more energy and natural resources than the average person one hundred years ago, meaning that the rates
of consumption are actually much higher than just the increase in population would imply [3] For
example, it took the world 125 years to use the first one trillion barrels of oil The next trillion barrels will
be used in less than 30 years, which is almost 5 times as fast, not three [4]
All of these activities: food production, energy usage, and the use of natural resources, contribute to
climate change in some way The greater amounts of oil and other fuels burned to create energy release chemicals which add to global warming In order to produce more food, farmers cut down trees to gain more land for their fields In addition, we cut down trees to build the houses needed for a larger
population Those trees are an essential part of controlling global warming; others are too numerous to
mention
In addition to a growing population, the world also has a population that desires a higher standard of living than in the past, and a higher standard of living requires the use of even more natural resources A look at one country will provide a clear example of this fact China is the world‟s most populous nation,
with 1.3 billion people Currently, the standard of living for most of those people is far below that of people in first world nations Therefore, the average Chinese citizen uses far fewer natural resources and less energy than the average citizen of the US or Japan But China is growing in power, and more of its
citizens are beginning to expect a first world lifestyle If every Chinese person attains a first world lifestyle, the amount of energy and natural resources needed in the world will double, even if the standard of living in every other nation on Earth remains the same as it is today

C Even if the standard of living in every other nation on Earth remains as it is today, China will still try
to attain a first world standard of living
D When China attains a first world lifestyle, the amount of energy and natural resources used by other nations to keep their current standard of living will double
