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.
American jazz is a mixture of sounds borrowed from such varied sources as American and African
folk music, European classical music, and Christian gospel songs. One of the recognizable
characteristics of jazz is its use of improvisation: certain parts of the music are written out and played
the same way by various performers, and other improvised parts are created spontaneously during a
performance and vary widely from performer to performer.
The earliest form of jazz was ragtime, lively songs or rags performed on the piano, and the best-
known of the ragtime performers and composers was Scott Joplin. Bom in 1868 to former slaves, Scott
Joplin earned his living from a very early age playing the piano in bars along the Mississippi. One of his
regular jobs was in the Maple Leaf Club in Sedalia, Missouri. It was there that he began writing the
more than 500 compositions that he was to produce, the most famous of which was “The Maple Leaf
Rag.”

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.
We are a planet of seven billion people, and this number is growing by about 370,000 people every
day. This is putting a huge strain on the planet's natural resources. For many governments and
environmental organizations, the race is on to drastically reduce our consumption of resources before
they run out.
Water is one of our most precious resources. Our quality of life, as well as life itself, depends on the
availability of clean, fresh water. It is the most widely used resource in industry, and plays a major role
in energy production. Although 70 percent of the world is covered in water, only 2.5 percent of that is
fresh water, and less than one percent of that freshwater is readily available to us. Yet we often
overestimate how much water we have, and reduce it further through pollution or inefficient use.
Some 92 percent of all fresh water used annually is dedicated to growing plants and raising animals for
food. This means that if water runs out, our food supply might follow. In India, it is estimated that
future water shortages could reduce grain harvests by 25%. In a country where the population exceeds
1.2 billion people and is growing rapidly every year, this is a huge concern. India, like many developing
countries, is already struggling to provide for its population. While most people in developed countries
can get water at the turn of a tap, nearly four billion people elsewhere lack access to safe water,
according to United Nations Development Report.
Rain forests are another endangered-resource. While rain forests are critically important to
humanity, they are rapidly being destroyed by human activities. The biggest cause of deforestation is
conversion of forest land for agriculture. Often called the "Lungs of the Planet”, rain forests once
covered 14 percent of the Earth's land surface, but this has shrunk to only six percent. Every second,
an area of rain forest, the size of a football field, is destroyed at this rate. Rain forests will possibly
disappear completely in less than 40 years.
