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.
One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Great Pyramid of Giza was a monument
of wisdom and prophecy built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 B.C. Despite its antiquity,
certain aspects of its construction makes it one of the truly wonders of the world. The thirteen-
acre structure near the Nile river is a solid mass of stone blocks covered with limestone. Inside
are the number of hidden passageways and the burial chamber of the Pharaoh. It is the largest
single structure in the world. The four sides of the pyramid are aligned almost exactly on true
north, south, east and west-an incredible engineering feat. The ancient Egyptians were sun
worshippers and great astronomers, so computations for the Great Pyramid were based on
astronomical observations.
Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many intersecting
lines. Further scientific study indicates that these represent a type of timeline of events – past,
present and future. Many of the events have been interpreted and found to coincide with known
facts of the past. Others are prophesied for future generations and are currently under
investigation. Many believe that pyramids have supernatural powers and this one is no exception.
Some researchers even associate it with extraterrestrial beings of ancient past. Was this
superstructure made by ordinary beings, or one built by a race far superior to any
known today?

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.
Overpopulation, the situation of having large numbers of people with too few resources and too
little space, is closely associated with poverty. It can result from high population density, or from
low amounts of resources, or from both. Excessively high population densities put stress on
available resources. Only a certain number of people can be supported on a given area of land,
and that number depends on how much food and other resources the land can provide. In
countries where people live primarily by means of simple farming, gardening, herding, hunting,
and gathering, even large areas of land can support only small numbers of people because these
labor-intensive subsistence activities produce only small amounts of food.
In developed countries such as the United States, Japan, and the countries of Western Europe,
overpopulation generally is not considered a major cause of poverty. These countries produce
large quantities of food through mechanized farming, which depends on commercial fertilizers,
large-scale irrigation, and agricultural machinery. This form of production provides enough food
to support the high densities of people in metropolitan areas. A country’s level of poverty can
depend greatly on its mix of population density and
agricultural productivity. Bangladesh, for example, has one of the world’s highest population
densities, with 1,147 persons per sq km. A large majority of the people of Bangladesh engage in
low-productivity manual farming, which contributes to the country’s extremely high level of
poverty. Some of the smaller countries in Western Europe, such as the Netherlands and Belgium,
have high population densities as well. These countries practice mechanized farming and are
involved in high-tech industries, however, and therefore have high standards of living. At the
other end of the spectrum, many countries in sub-Saharan Africa have population densities of
less than 30 persons per sq km. Many people in these countries practice manual subsistence
farming; these countries also have infertile land, and lack the economic resources and
technology to boost productivity. As a consequence, these nations are very poor. The United
States has both relatively low population density and high agricultural productivity; it is one of
the world’s wealthiest nations.
High birth rates contribute to overpopulation in many developing countries. Children are assets
to many poor families because they provide labor, usually for farming. Cultural norms in
traditionally rural societies commonly sanction the value of large families. Also, the
governments of developing countries often provide little or no support, financial or political, for
family planning; even people who wish to keep their families small have difficulty doing so. For
all these reasons, developing countries tend to have high rates of population growth.
Question 43. Which of the following is a contributor to overpopulation in many developing
countries?
A. Sufficient financial support B. High-tech facilities

C. High birth rates D. Economic resources
