TEXT I
Cameroon is a West African country of ten million people which has been
very successful in growing food for its people, unlike many other West African
countries. Since 1971 it has doubled its output of major foodstuffs such as maize
and potatoes. Now it is one of the few African countries able to feed itself. This
was not the case five years ago when the country was only 75-80% self-sufficient
in food. Although isolated pockets of hunger still remain, the World Bank
nowadays gives Cameroon money to sustain, not to achieve, self-sufficiency in
food production.

TEXT II IPA6

Continued progress in advanced technology is not necessary. Already the

technical progress in our world has caused severe pollution in the air and in the
water. Although the technical progress in previous years has been helpful, recent
technology has significantly increased pollution. Another reason to stop technical
progress is that many inventions which were developed for good causes are now
also used for powerful weapons or have been found to have serious side effects.
For example, pesticide put inside particle board to prevent termites has now
been found to be toxic to human life. Technology does not always bring good
effects; for example, computers do much work faster than man, but then man
loses his job to a machine. Because no man can guarantee that technology will
have only good effects and will be used only for the benefit of man, we should
delay the continued development of technology.

3. The author’s purpose in writing this paragraph is …

A. to describe pollution caused by advanced technology
B. to show how advantageous advanced technology is for human beings
C. to have people stop developing advanced technology
D. to explain what further inventions in technology should be made

Nevertheless, ______
A. it is causing a lot of damage to the environment
B. many inventions were developed for good causes
C. it help people to kill termites through pesticides
D. many people are no longer unemployed
E. it is useful and beneficial to people

TEXT III
A natural disaster is a terrible accident, e.g. a great flood, a big fire or an
earthquake. It usually causes great suffering and loss of a large sum of money.
The casualties are injured or died. Some people are homeless and need medical
care.
Floods occur when the water of rivers, lakes, or streams overflow their
banks and pour onto the surrounding land. Floods are caused by many different
things. Often heavy rainstorms that last for a brief can cause a flood. But not all
heavy storms are followed by flooding. If the surrounding land is flat and can
absorb the water, no flooding will occur. If, however, the land is hard and rocky,
heavy rain cannot be absorbed. Where the banks are low, a river may overflow
and flood adjacent lowland.
In many part of the world flood are caused by tropical storms called
hurricanes or typhoons. They bring destructive winds of high speed, torrents of
rain, and flooding. When a flood occurs, the destruction to surrounding land can
be severe. Whole villages and towns are sometimes swept away by water
pouring swiftly over the land. Railroad track blocked and uprooted from their
beds. Highways are washed away.
When a building caught fire, the firemen pitched in to help battle the blaze.
Before the pumps were invented people formed bucket brigades to fight fires.
Standing side by side, they formed a human chain from the fire to nearby well or
river. They passed buckets of water from to hand to be poured on the flames.
The damage of the fire did depend a great deal on where it happened. In
the country or a small village, only a single house might burn down. But in
crowded cities, fire often destroys whole blocks and neighborhoods before being
controlled.

5. When is flood more likely to happen?

A. When heavy rainstorms happen on flat land
B. When rainstorms happen on hard rocky land
C. When heavy rainstorms happen on forest land
D. When the water of the rivers overflow into absorbing land
