Dogs originally came from wolves. Wolves look a lot like dogs, but they are bigger. They are also
quite fierce. At some point, some wolves changed through evolution. Some of them were smaller
and gentler. These nicer wolves were the first dogs. No one knows for sure when this happened or
why. Some people say it happened naturally over 50,000 years ago. Others say people made it
happen between 15 000 and 50 000 years ago.
However they came to be, people quickly saw that dogs were useful. Scientists who study humans
say the first tame dogs appeared with humans about 13,000 years ago in the Middle East. Not long
after there were dogs in Asia, Africa, Europe and eventually, North America. These dogs were
probably used mostly for hunting and traveling. They were also good companions.
Dogs were an important part of life in ancient Egypt. Egyptian dogs were used not only for hunting
but as guards and warriors as well. They believed the god that guarded hell was a dog. Ancient
Egyptians also named their pet dogs. Some popular names meant Brave One, Reliable, North-wind,
Blacky, and Useless.
Dogs were also good ancient Roman warriors. The Roman army used dogs all over Europe.
Sometimes the dogs were attack dogs, but other times the dogs were messengers.
There are many different kinds of dogs today. How could they all come from wolves? There are
many different explanations. Some scientists believe that dogs mixed with other animals from the
Canidae family. This includes coyotes, foxes and jackals. Most scientists also believe that evolution
and breeding influenced the variation. Later, people found breeds of dogs they liked and combined

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 34 to 40.
Many people see large urban cities as a wonder of human imagination and creativity. They
represent how far the human population has come in terms of community development. Despite its
positive things, there are also negatives from urbanization on the physical health of humans living.
As it would be expected, developing countries tend to see more negative physical health effects than
modern countries in regard to urbanization. One example of a developing country experiencing
these problems is China. China is a country that in the past 30-40 years went from being an
agrarian based society to a significant industrialized country. This industrialization has in effect
caused the need for more centralized cities, centralized meaning having lots of jobs and living
spaces within a close proximity. In most recent decades, since China’s change to being more of an
industrial based economy, the country has experienced record high numbers of people migrating
within its borders. In effect, the number of cities with over 500,000 people has more than doubled.
These migrations are typically of people from rural areas of China moving to the new urban areas.
Due to this large influx in the urban population, there are many possibilities for health challenges
among these people.
One very common and fairly obvious negative aspect of highly congested urban areas is air
pollution. It could include particulate matter, most commonly attributed to industrial plants and
refineries waste, or chemicals like CO2 or Methane. Due to a vast number of people in these
urbanized cities, the air pollution is known to be very extreme. These conditions can lead to many
different health problems such as: Asthma, cardiovascular problems or disease. When exposed to
these conditions for a prolonged period of time, one can experience even more detrimental health
effects like: the acceleration of aging, loss of lung capacity and health, being more susceptible to
respiratory diseases, and a shortened life span.
Another way that urbanization affects the populations’ health is people’s change in diet. For
instance, urban cities tend to have lots of accessible, quick, and easy to get food. This food is also
more than likely not as high quality as well as contains a large amount of sodium and sugar.
Because this food is so accessible, people tend to eat it more. This increase in consumption of low-
quality food can then lead to diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, obesity, or many other health
conditions.
Question 34: Which of the following could be served as the best title for the passage?
A. Urban cities - The new opportunity for community development
B. Urbanization - Pros and cons
C. Urbanization - How people’s health is impacted?
D. Developing countries - The fastest urbanization

_______.

Page 5
 A. industrial plants B. sewage C. refineries waste D. chemicals
Question 38: The word “it” in the last paragraph refers to ________?
A. quality B. sugar C. food D. sodium
Question 39: Why are urban populations easy to get diseases from food, according to the last
paragraph?
A. Because of the change in people’s diet.
B. Because this food is so delicious that people have a tendency to eat more than normal.
C. Because the way people get this food is rather accessible, quick and easy.
D. Because of the low quality and the high proportion of sodium and sugar in this food.
Question 40: What can be inferred from the passage?
A. One of the negative health effects comes from the overpopulation in industrialized countries.
B. Living in urban areas for a long time will certainly make the life expectancy of inhabitants
shorten.
C. People in developed countries suffer less harmful health effects from urbanization than those in
developing nations.
D. The bad health effects from urbanization are not greater than the benefits it brings to people in
urban cities.
