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
By mid-century, there will likely be 9 billion people on the planet, consuming ever more resources
and leading ever more technologically complex lives. What will our cities be like? How much will
artificial intelligence advance? Will global warming trigger catastrophic changes, or will we be
able to engineer our way out of the climate change crisis?
Making predictions is, by nature, a dicey business, but to celebrate the 40 th anniversary of
Smithsonian magazine Big Think asked top minds from a variety of fields to weigh in on what the
future holds 40 years from now. The result is our latest special series, Life in 20 50. Demographic
changes in world population and population growth will certainly be dramatic. Rockefeller
University mathematical biologist Joel Cohen says it's likely that by 2050 the majority of the people
in the world will live in urban areas, and will have a significantly higher average age than people
today. Cities theorist Richard Florida thinks urbanization trends will reinvent the education
system of the United States, making our economy less real estate driven and erasing the
divisions between home and work.
Large migrations from developing countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Mexico, and
countries in the Middle East could disrupt western governments and harm the unity of France,
Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Poland, and the United Kingdom under the umbrella of the
European Union.
And rapidly advancing technology will continue ever more rapidly. According to Bill Mitchell, the
late director of MIT's Smart Cities research group, cities of the future won't look like "some sort of
science -fiction fantasy" or "Star Trek" but it's likely that "discreet, unobtrusive" technological
advances and information overlays, i.e. virtual reality and augmented reality, will change how we
live in significant ways. Self-driving cars will make the roads safer, driving more efficient, and
provide faster transports. A larger version of driverless cars-driverless trucks-may make long haul
drivers obsolete.
Meanwhile, the Internet will continue to radically transform media, destroying the traditional model
of what a news organization is, says author and former New York Times Public Editor, Daniel
Okrent, who believes the most common kinds of news organizations in the future will be
"individuals and small alliances of individuals” reporting and publishing on niche topics.

economy and reinforce the separation between home and work.
B. Cities theorist Richard Florida suggests that the education system in the United States is already
sufficient and does not need to change due to urbanization trends.
C. Richard Florida, a theorist on cities, believes that trends in urbanization will transform the U.S.
education system, reduce the economy's dependence on real estate, and blur the lines between home
and work.

than the education system or the economy.

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
Culture is a word in common use with complex meanings, and is derived, like the term
broadcasting, from the treatment and care of the soil and of what grows on it. It is directly related to
cultivation and the adjectives cultural and cultured are part of the same verbal complex. A person of
culture has identifiable attributes, among them are knowledge of and interest in the arts, literature,
and music. Yet the word culture does not refer solely to such knowledge and interest nor, indeed, to
education. At least from the 19th century onwards, under the influence of anthropologists and
sociologists, the word culture means has come to be used generally both in the singular and the
plural (cultures) to refer to a whole way of life of people, including their customs, laws,
conventions, and values.
Distinctions have consequently been drawn between primitive and advanced culture and
cultures, between elite and popular culture, between popular and mass culture, and most recently
between national and global cultures. Distinctions have been drawn too between culture and
civilization; the latter is a word derived not, like culture or agriculture, from the soil, but from the
city.The two words are sometimes treated as synonymous. Yet this is misleading. While civilization
and barbarism are pitted against each other in what seems to be a perpetual behavioural pattern, the
use of the word culture has been strongly influenced by conceptions of evolution in the 19th century
and of development in the 20th century. Cultures evolve or develop. They are not static. They have
twists and turns. Styles change. So do fashions. There are cultural processes. What, for example, the
word cultured has changed substantially since the study of classical (that is, Greek and Roman)
literature, philosophy, and history ceased in the 20th century to be central to school and university
education. No single alternative focus emerged, although with computers has come electronic
culture, affecting kinds of study, and most recently digital culture. As cultures express themselves
in new forms not everything gets better or more civilized.
The multiplicity of meanings attached to the word made and will make it difficult to define.
There is no single, unprobfematic definition, although many attempts have been made to establish
one. The only non-problematic definitions go back to agricultural meaning (for example cereal
culture or strawberry culture) and medical meaning (for example, bacterial culture or penicillin
culture). Since in anthropology and sociology we also acknowledge culture clashes, culture shock
and counter- culture, the range of reference is extremely wide,
Question 48: According to the passage, the word culture______ .
A. is related to the preparation and use of land for farming
B. comes from a source that has not beenidentified
C. develops from Greek and Roman literature and history

Question 49: It is stated in paragraph 1 that a cultured person ____.
A. has a job related to cultivation B. does a job relevant to education
C. takes care of the soil and what grows on it D. has knowledge of arts, literature, and music
Question 50: The author remarks that culture and civilization are the two wards that
A. share the same word formation pattern B. have nearly the same meaning
C. are both related to agriculture and cultivation D. do not develop from the same meaning
Question 51: it can be inferred from the passage that since the 20th century
A. schools and universities have not taught classical literature, philosophy, and history
B. classical literature, philosophy, and history have been considered as core subjects
C. classical literature, philosophy, and history have not been taught as compulsory subjects
D. all schools and universities have taught classical literature, philosophy, and history
Question 52: The word "attributes" in paragraph 1 most likely means .
A. fields B. qualities C. aspects D. skills
Question 53: The word "static" in paragraph 2 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ________.
A. moving B. balanced C. regular D. dense
Question 54: Which of the following is NOT stated in the passage?
