going to pay in full there and then,
they always bring the price down!
Many cities in developing countries
suffer from overcrowding and pollution
far more than to those in the
industrialized, developed parts of the
world. Metropolitan authorities in
developing countries must cope with
environmental problems commonly
associated
with
large
human
settlements-solid
waste
disposal,
sewage treatment, and industrial
pollution, as well as the sociocultural
impact of overcrowding and congestion.
If facilities for a safe water supply,
sewage treatment and disposal, and
collection and disposal of solid waste
exist at all in such cities, the systems are
often inadequate. In part, this is because
developing countries lack the necessary
financial resources to provide essential
urban sevices. In addition, many cities
grew up so quickly that there was little
forethought or time to develop a rational
urban plan to accommodate the vast
influx of rural poor draw to the city.
E) Face it; it’s trick to get you back into
the shop.

countries.
E) there will be problems to solve,
ranging from the physical and
practical to the sociocultural.
C) because people have grown so used
to them they see no need to change
them.
D) due to the fact that the metropolitan
authorities are at a loss to know how
to change them.

to think about urban development,
these cities were already there.

reason why conditions in the cities of
developing countries are so bad is --- .

the need for urban planning.
B) that the people there have on idea.
about the advantages of urban

Though forests are being consumed at
great speed in developing countries for
agricultural purposes there is another
side to the picture. Agricultural projects
can include components that explicity
conserve natural forest or reforest lands
where the trees have been cut down, and
thus enhance agricultural production in a
very cost-effective manner. A case in
point is a World Bank-assisted irrigation
project in Indonesia. To prevent
defcrestation of the watershed above the
Dumoga Slawesi irrigation works, the
Dumoga National Park was established
on 2,700 square kilometres. The cost
was less, than 1 per cent of the total
Project costs, and went mainly to
establish
and
demarcate
park
boundaries, develop a managament
plan, hire personel, and provide the
necessary infrastructure and equipment.
This relatively small investment protects
sedimentation and maintenance costs,
and water necessary for optimal nice
production. The park also preserves
much of the rich flora and fauna that are
unique to the island of Sulawesi.

the Dumoga National Park and
emphasizes ---- .
A) its main function is to preserve the
rich flora and fauna of the region.

indeed.

experience went into creation.
D) the uniqueness of the scheme.
E) how difficult it was too persuade the
authorities to agree to this part of the
Project.

the Dumoga National Park serves a

Advertising by its very nature is
obstrusive and attracts attention to itself
as well as to the goods and services it
offers. It is not suprising that it has
become
a
popular
subject
of
controversy. Nor is it likely that the
arguments that rage around it will soon
be settled one way or the other. Since a
significant proportion of the national
income of industrial countries is spent on
advertising and it is a subject of concern
to many people, it is to be hoped that
economists and sociologists both within
the industry and outside it will devote
more time and money to its objective
study. Much of the inquiry into
advertising that has so far taken place
has been partisan. There remains a need
for objective investigaiton into all its
effects
and
implications.
It
is
encouraging that advertising continues
to be a subject for debate, inquiry and
study.
56. The passage makes the point that
much attention is rightly being
focused on advertising ---- .
A) since the amount of money being
spent upon it is, in relation to the
national income, quite considerable.
B) since a great deal of money is being
unnecessarily wasted upon it.
C) as so many of the claims made by
advertisements contain very little
truth.
D) especially by the firms that make use
of the advertising industry and are
growing increasingly discontented
with the services it offers.
E) though this is largely because people
enjoy a controversy that doesn’t
serously affect them.

passage, the subject of advertising --- .

In the world of thought, Adam Smith’s
Wealth of Nations survives as probably
the richest source book of modern
economic theory. This book is important
because it raised the right issues,
including industrial production, the
distribution of incomes and employment
saving. These are the issues that
economic science has been working on
ever since. Adam Smith had a rich,
sensitive and generous mind, not a
rigidly logical one. The result is one can
find inconsistencies in the text. This is
actually an advantage, for it opens the
subject up. All his hints can be traced up
to the present day in different currents of
throught. It is indeed Smith’s very talent
for containing inconsistencies that has
motivated economic speculation. His
direct inspiration also continues. For it
was Smith who first realised the
importance of economic cooperation
between the nations if they were to Iive
A) was more interested in the economics
of production than of distribution.

could be a basis for peace in the

avoided theories.

generations hotly contested.
