| unable — increasing — richest — birth — dead — decreasing — capable — equally |
Is the world overpopulated? How many people can the earth support? Should countries try to limit their population? These are serious questions that governments, international organizations, and even individuals must think about. The population of the world has been (21) increasing faster and faster, but seventy-five percent of the world’s population live in Third World countries. This means that most people are poor and are (22) unable to give children a decent life.
Does the Earth have enough natural resources to support this many people? Some scientists say that there are enough resources to support people, but the problem is distribution. The (23) richest countries, with a small percentage of the world’s population, use the most of the resources. If these resources were distributed (24) equally, there would be enough for everyone. Some say that we must limit population growth because our resources are limited. International organizations have put forward several recommendations to ease the problem of overpopulation, including an increase in food production, general economic development in target areas, and a decrease in (25) birth rate.
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.
The first bicycle race was held in France in 1869. Competitive events today include road races, track races, off-road mountain bike races, and youth BMX races. Road racing is the oldest type of bicycle competition. There are several formats of road racing, including stage races, one-day events, and time trials. Stage races can last for weeks and cover thousands of kilometers. Each day’s race is called a stage. The rider with the lowest result time after all the stages is the overall winner. The Tour de France, which lasts about three weeks and covers about 3,200 km, is the most prestigious bicycle race in the world. The length of Tour de France varies, as does the number of stages, but in recent years, the race has featured about 200 stages. Cyclists generally have two or three days off for rest. One-day races usually last four to seven hours and span from 160 to 380 km. Examples of one day races include the world championship road race, the Olympic road race, European spring classics such as Paris – Roubaix. In time trials, the object is to cycle as fast as possible from one point to another, while being timed by a clock. There are usually two or three-time trial stages in the Tour de France.
