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 1 to 8 
In the mid-nineteenth century, the United States had tremendous natural resources that could be exploited in order to 
develop heavy industry. Most of the raw materials that are valuable in the manufacture of machinery, transportation facilities, and 
consumer goods lay ready to be worked into wealth. Iron, coal, and oil - the basic ingredients of industrial growth - were plentiful 
and needed only the application of technical expertise, organizational skill, and labour. 
One crucial development in this movement towards industrialization was the growth of the railroads. The railway 
network expanded rapidly until the railroad map of the United States looked like a spider's web, with the steel filaments 
connecting all important sources of raw materials, their places of manufacture, and their centers of distribution. The railroads 
contributed to the industrial growth not only by connecting these major centers, but also by themselves consuming enormous 
amounts of fuel, iron, and coal. 
Many factors influenced emerging modes of production. For example, machine tools, the tools used to make goods, were 
steadily improved in the latter part of the nineteenth century - always with an eye to speedier production and lower unit costs. The 
products of the factories were rapidly absorbed by the growing cities that sheltered the workers and the distributors. The increased 
urban population was nourished by the increased farm production that, in turn, was made more productive by the use of the new 
farm machinery. American agricultural production kept up with the urban demand and still had surpluses for sale to the industrial 
centers of Europe. 
The labour that ran the factories and built the railways was recruited in part from American farm areas where people 
were being displaced by farm machinery, in part from Asia, and in part from Europe. Europe now began to send tides of 
immigrants from eastern and southern Europe - most of whom were originally poor farmers but who settled in American industrial 
cities. The money tofinance this tremendous expansion of the American economy still came from European financiers for the most 
part, but the American were approaching the day when their expansion could be financed in their own "money market".

PART C: Read the passage and choose the best answer from question 31 to 35. 
Read the passage and mark A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. 
The population of the world has increased more in modern times than in all other ages of history combined. World population 
totaled about 500 million in 1650. It doubled in the period from 1650 to 1850. Today the population is more than six billion. 
Estimate based on research by the United Nations indicated that it will increase more rapidly in the twenty-five years between 
2010 and 2045, reaching 7.5 billion by 2050. 
No one knows the limits of population that the earth can support. Thomas Malthus, an English economist, developed a theory 
that became widely accepted in the nineteenth century. He suggested that because world population tended to increase more 
rapidly than the food supply, a continual strain was extended upon available resources. Malthus citied wars, famines, epidemics, 
and other disasters as the usual limitations of population growth. With recent advances in science and technology, including 
improved agricultural methods and great stride in medicine, some of the limiting factors in population growth have been lessened, 
with obvious results. International organizations have recommended programmes to encourage general economic development in 
target areas along with a decrease in birth rates to effect a lasting solution.

A. Thomas Malthus Theory B. Limiting Factors in Population Growth
