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 following questions
Basic to any understanding of Canada in the 20 years after the Second World War is the country's impressive population growth. For every three Canadians in 1945, there were over five in 1966. In September 1966, Canada's population passed the 20 million mark. Most of this surging growth came from natural increase. The depression of the 1930s and the war had held back marriages, and the catching-up process began after 1945. The baby boom continued through the decade of the 1950s, producing a population increase of nearly fifteen percent in the five years from 1951 to 1956. This rate of increase had been exceeded only once before in Canada's history, in the decade before 1911 when the prairies were being settled. Undoubtedly, the good economic conditions of the 1950s supported a growth in the population, but the expansion also derived from a trend toward earlier marriages and an increase in the average size of families. In 1957 the Canadian birth rate stood at 28 per thousand, one of the highest in the world.
After the peak year of 1957, the birth rate in Canada began to decline. It continued falling until in 1966 it stood at the lowest level in 25 years. Partly this decline reflected the low level of births during the depression and the war, but it was also caused by changes in Canadian society. Young people were staying at school longer; more women were working; young married couples were buying automobiles or houses before starting families; rising living standards were cutting down the size of families.
	 It appeared that Canada was once more falling in step with the trend toward smaller families that had occurred all through the Western world since the time of the Industrial Revolution. Although the growth in Canada's population had slowed down by 1966 (the increase in the first half of the 1960's was only nine percent), another large population wave was coming over the horizon. It would be composed of the children who were born during the period of the high birth rate prior to 1957.
Question 36. What does the passage mainly discuss?
	A. Educational changes in Canadian society	B. Canada during the Second World War
	C. Population trends in postwar Canada	D. Standards of living in Canada
Question 37. According to the passage, when did Canada's baby boom begin?
	A. During the depression of the 1930s	B. After 1945
	C. In 1966	D. In the decade after 1911
Question 38. The author mentions all of the following as causes of declines in population growth after 1957 EXCEPT ___. 	
	A. couples buying houses 	B. people being better educated
	C. people getting married earlier	D. better standards of living
Question 39. The author suggests that in Canada during the 1950s __________________.
	A. the urban population decreased rapidly	B. economic conditions were poor
	C. fewer people married	D. the birth rate was very high
Question 40. When was the birth rate in Canada at its lowest postwar level?
	A. 1957	B. 1966	C. 1951	D. 1956
Question 41. It can be inferred from the passage that before the Industrial Revolution __________________.
	A. population statistics were unreliable	B. the population grew steadily
	C. families were larger	D. economic conditions were bad
Question 42. The phrase "prior to" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to __________________.
	A. during	B. behind	C. before	D. since
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.
 Ocean water plays an indispensable role in supporting life. The great ocean basins hold about 300 million cubic miles of water. From this vast amount, about 80,000 cubic miles of water are sucked into the atmosphere each year by evaporation and returned by precipitation and drainage to the ocean. More than 24,000 cubic miles of rain descend annually upon the continents. This vast amount is required to replenish the lakes and streams, springs and water tables on which all flora and fauna are dependent. Thus, the hydrosphere permits organic existence.
 The hydrosphere has strange characteristics because water has properties unlike those of any other liquid. One anomaly is that water upon freezing expands by about 9 percent, whereas most liquids contract on cooling. For this reason, ice floats on water bodies instead of sinking to the bottom. If the ice sank, the hydrosphere would soon be frozen solidly, except for a thin layer of surface melt water during the summer season. Thus, all aquatic life would be destroyed and the interchange of warm and cold currents, which moderates climate, would be notably absent.
 Another outstanding characteristic of water is that water has a heat capacity which is the highest of all liquids and solids except ammonia. This characteristics enables the oceans to absorb and store vast quantities of heat, thereby often preventing climatic extremes. In addition, water dissolves more substances than any other liquid. It is this characteristic which helps make oceans a great storehouse for minerals which have been washed down from the continents. In several areas of the world these minerals are being commercially exploited. Solar evaporation of salt is widely practised, potash is extracted from the Dead Sea, and magnesium is produced from sea water along the American Gulf Coast.
Question 43: The author’s main purpose in this passage is to ___________.
A. illustrate the importance of conserving water B. describe the properties and uses of water
C. compare water with other liquids D. explain how water is used in commerce and industry
Question 44: The word “replenish” in paragraph 1 can best replaced by ________ .
A. fill again	B. replace	C. evaporate	D. form
Question 45: According to the passage, fish can survive in the oceans because ________ .
A. evaporation and condensation create a water cycle 	B. there are currents in the oceans
C. they do not need oxygen 	D. ice floats
Question 46: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a characteristic of water?
A. Water can absorb heat	B. Water is good solvent.
C. Water contracts on cooling	D. Water expands when it is frozen
Question 47: The word “outstanding” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________ .
A. exceptionally good	B. special	C. amusing	D. important
Question 48: According the passage, the hydrosphere is NOT ___________ .
A. the part of the earth covered by water	B. responsible for all forms of life
C. in danger of freezing over	D. a source of natural resources
Question 49: The author’s tone in the passage can best be described as ________ .
A. dispassionate	B. speculative	C. biased	D. dogmatic
Question 50: The author organizes the passage by _______.
A. juxtaposition of true and untrue ideas	B. comparison and contrast
C. general statement followed by examples	D. hypothesis and proof
