By, 2050, there will be another two to three billion people on Earth, and the planet’s population will consume twice as much food as now. For 50 years farmland has grown at the cost of natural habitat and biodiversity, and already more than two thirds of agricultural land is either in use or protected.

As a result, we need to develop the technology to double the output of the 10 – 15 main calorie crops, particularly if we are to alleviate the burden on developing countries of feeding a rapidly growing population, argues Jason Clay of the WWF in the journal Nature. He makes some strategic suggestions— described as ―food wedges for Africa, the continent that faces the greatest challenge of increasing food production. Clay believes the responsible use of genetics is one of the keys. He suggests that mapping the genomes of staple food crops such as yams, plantains and cassava, and selecting genetic traits, can both increase production and improve drought tolerance, disease resistance and nutrient content.

Improving agricultural inputs and practice is also essential, he argues. It currently take one liter of water to produce one calorie of food. Even if we halved water use and doubled production, food deficiency would still increase fourfold. Technologies already exist to achieve this, but in Africa they have often not been taken up. Mulching, for example, can help rebuild soil fertility and reduce water usage, and is suitable for use even in household gardens, without need for hightech tools.

What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage ?

a)

To classify the type of technology used for soil fertility

b)

To inform the danger of population explosion in the future

c)

To argue for the value of increased food production prospects

d)

To explain the need for cassava as the main crop in the future

e)

To persuade for the development of right technology for agriculture

He makes some strategic suggestions— described as ―food wedges for Africa, the continent that faces the greatest challenge of increasing food production. Clay believes the responsible use of genetics is one of the keys. He suggests that mapping the genomes of staple food crops such as yams, plantains and cassava, and selecting genetic traits, can both increase production and improve drought tolerance, disease resistance and nutrient content.

Improving agricultural inputs and practice is also essential, he argues. It currently take one liter of water to produce one calorie of food. Even if we halved water use and doubled production, food deficiency would still increase fourfold. Technologies already exist to achieve this, but in Africa they have often not been taken up. Mulching, for example, can help rebuild soil fertility and reduce water usage, and is suitable for use even in household gardens, without need for hightech tools.

Paragraphs 1 and 2 are related in that paragraphs 1 …

a)

Discusses population impact, paragraph 2 offers technological solutions

b)

Sets the challenging situation, paragraph 2 is on the need of technology

c)

Explains population growth, paragraph 2 develops areas of agriculture

d)

Exposes the impact of agriculture, paragraph 2 restores the damage

By, 2050, there will be another two to three billion people on Earth, and the planet’s population will consume twice as much food as now. For 50 years farmland has grown at the cost of natural habitat and biodiversity, and already more than two thirds of agricultural land is either in use or protected.

As a result, we need to develop the technology to double the output of the 10 – 15 main calorie crops, particularly if we are to alleviate the burden on developing countries of feeding a rapidly growing population, argues Jason Clay of the WWF in the journal Nature.

Everyone likes to group things. Language students group words as verbs, nouns and so on; collection of words are classified as phrases, or clauses, or sentences, and these again are reclassified according to their function. In the same way, botanists classify plants as algae, or fungi, or gymnosperms, etc. Zoologists classify animal as vertebrates and invertebrates. The vertebrates can be further classified as mammals, reptiles, bird, fish, etc. Classification and, if it is based on the right data, enables us to understand better the ideas we are studying.

Chemists are no exception. The chemical classification of materials, if it based on a good system, should enable us to understand better the many substances which exists in our world. What is to be the basis of our classification? Perhaps the most obvious one is appearance. Material could be classified as solid, liquid or gas with some mixed types as, for example, mud being solid/liquid material and steam a liquid/gas material. Appearance could enable us to subdivide our main classify our main classification groups a little further; the solid may be green, or black powdery to crystalline; the liquid may be colored, oily, thick, or free flowing; the gas may be colored. However, we soon realize that many probably quite different materials have the same appearance. Both air and the deadly carbon-monoxide gas, are colorless, odorless gases, but we would not like to group them as the same thing. Many different liquids are colorless, water-like materials.

The examples provided in paragraph 2 clarify that …

a)

Many kinds of liquid should be grouped as one

b)

Different kinds of gas can be colorless and odorless

c)

Material in chemistry should be classified differently

d)

Chemistry materials have more complicated

e)

Taxonomy can be made and applied further to other areas

Passage A

Thomas Jefferson could many things. As a young man, he was a farmer and a lawyer in Virginia. He was also a scientist, an inventor, a philosopher, and an architect. He designed his own home, called Montecello. He could communicate in French, Italian, Spanish, Latin, and Greek.

Many of Jefferson’s ideas became basic principles of the government of the United States. For

example, he believed that ―all men are created equal. That is we are born the same and should receive the same treatment under the law. He also said that power must come from ―the consent of the governed‖ (the voters, not the leaders). He wanted free elections, a free press, and free speech.

Thomas Jefferson held many important government jobs. He was ambassador to France, Secretary of State (under George Washington), Vice President of the United States, from 1801 to 1809. As President, Jefferson bought the huge Louisiana territory for the United States from France. However, he was killed on April 1865 by a well-known actor and Confederate sympathizer, John Wilkes Booth at Ford’s Theater in Washington D.C.

Passage B

John F. Kennedy was President for only three years, from 1961, but his personality and ideas changed America. He was both the first Roman Catholic and the youngest President in the history of the country. He set clear goals for America. For example, he promised that the United States would land a man on the moon before 1970.

Kennedy supported the ideas of Martin Luther King, Jr. and fought for civil right, fair housing, and program to stop poverty. He asked Congress for more money for education and medical care for elderly people.

Kennedy was against Communism. For example, when the Soviet Union put missiles in Cuba, he sent US ships to surround the island. But he believed that the best way to fight Communism was not by sending armies but by attacking poverty and injustice.

He started the Peace Corps and sent Americans to over sixty countries in Africa, Asia, and South America. These young volunteers worked and lived with the people, built school, and thought farmers more modern methods. Kennedy was a man for the futur. He worked to stop the testing of nuclear weapons. But on November 22, 1963, he was assassinated.

The topic discussed in both passages is …

a)

Effort of US president to fight against Communism

b)

Intentions of two men to become the US president

c)

The risk of getting killed for being a US president

d)

The two brilliant and charismatic US presidents

e)

Great deeds done by two presidents of the US
