correct answer to each of the questions from 19 to 25.
Foot racing is a popular activity in the US. It is seen not only as a competitive sport but also as a way to
exercise, to enjoy the camaraderie of like-minded people, and to donate money to a good cause. Though
serious runners may spend months training to compete, other runners and walkers might not train at all.
Those not competing to win might run in an effort to beat their own time or simply to enjoy the fun and
exercise. People of all ages, from those of less than one year (who may be pushed in astrollers) to those in
their eighties, enter into this sport. The races are held on city streets, on college campuses, through parks,
and in suburban areas, and they are commonly 5 to 10 kilometers in length.
The largest footrace in the world is the 12-kilometer Bay to Breakers race that is held in San Francisco
every spring. This race begins on the east side of the city near San Francisco Bay and ends on the west
side at the Pacific Ocean. There may be 80.000 or more people running in this race through the streets and
hills of San Francisco. In the front are the serious runners who compete to win and who might finish in as
little as 35 minutes. Behind them are the thousands who take several hours to finish. In the back of the
race are those who dress in costumes and come just for fun. One year there was a group of men who
dressed like Elvis Presley, and another group consisted of firefighters who were tied together in a long
line and who were carrying a fire hose. There was even a bridal party, in which the bride was dressed in a
long white gown and the groom wore a tuxedo. The bride and groom threw flowers to bystanders, and
they were actually married at some point along the route.

correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 26 to 30.
School lunch
Research has shown that over half the children in Britain who take their own lunches to school do not eat
(26) in the middle of the day. In Britain, schools have to (27) meals at lunchtime.
Children can choose to bring their own food or have lunch at the school canteen.
One shocking finding of the research is that school meals are much healthier than lunches prepared by
parents. There are strict (28) for the preparation of school meals, which have to include
one (29) of fruit and one of vegetables, as well as meat, a dairy item and starchy food like
break or pasta. Lunchboxes examined by researchers contained sweet drinks, crisps and chocolate bars.
Children consume twice as much sugar as they should at lunchtime.
The research will provide a better understanding (30) why the percentage of
overweight in Britain has increased in the last decade. Unfortunately, the government can’t criticize
parents, but it can remind them of the nutritional value of milk, fruit and vegetables. Small changes in
their children’s diet can affect their future health. Children can easily develop bad eating habits at this
age, and parents are the only ones who can prevent it.

correct answer to each of the questions from 34 to 41.
Overpopulation, the situation of having large numbers of people with too few resources and too little
space, is closely associated with poverty. It can result from high population density, or from low amounts
of resources, or from both. Excessively high population densities put stress on available resources. Only a
certain number of people can be supported on a given area of land, and that number depends on how
much food and other resources the land can provide. In countries where people live primarily by means of
simple farming, gardening, herding, hunting, and gathering, even large areas of land can support only
small numbers of people because these labor-intensive subsistence activities produce only small amounts
of food.
In developed countries such as the United States, Japan, and the countries of Western Europe,
overpopulation generally is not considered a major cause of poverty. These countries produce large
quantities of food through mechanized farming, which depends on commercial fertilizers, large-scale
irrigation, and agricultural machinery. This form of production provides enough food to support the high
densities of people in metropolitan areas.
A country’s level of poverty can depend greatly on its mix of population density and agricultural
productivity. Bangladesh, for example, has one of the world’s highest population densities, with 1, 147
persons per sq km. A large majority of the people of Bangladesh engage in low -productivity manual
D. possibly D. do D. ways D. kilo D. on
farming, which contributes to the country’s extremely high level of poverty. Some of the smaller
countries in Western Europe, such as the Netherlands and Belgium, have high population densities as
well. These countries practice mechanized farming and are involved in high-tech industries, however, and
therefore have high standards of living.
At the other end of the spectrum, many countries in sub-Saharan Africa have population densities of
less than 30 persons per sq km. Many people in these countries practice manual subsistence farming;
these countries also have infertile land, and lack the economic resources and technology to boost
productivity. As a consequence, these nations are very poor. The United States has both relatively low
population density and high agricultural productivity; it is one of the world’s wealthiest nations.
High birth rates contribute to overpopulation in many developing countries. Children are assets to many
poor families because they provide labor, usually for farming. Cultural norms in traditionally mral
societies commonly sanction the value of large families. Also, the governments of developing countries
often provide little or no support, financial or political, for family planning; even people who wish to keep
their families small have difficulty doing so. For all these reasons, developing countries tend to have high
rates of population growth.
(From "Poverty" by Thomas J. Corbett)
