Oil can be used in so many ways other than fuel because it contains hydrocarbons of varying molecular masses, forms and lengths such as paraffins and aromatics used in pharmaceutical industry. The differences in the structure of these molecules is what gives them their varying physical and chemical properties, and it is this variety that makes crude oil so useful in a broad range of applications. Consequently, the refining process releases numerous different chemicals into the atmosphere. Also, substantial air pollution emissions and poisonous gases accompany the presence of a refinery. Aside from air pollution impacts, there are also wastewater concerns, risks of industrial accidents such as fire and explosion, and health effects due to industrial noise. Because of environmental and safety concerns, it should be noted that oil refineries be located some distance away from major urban areas.

People often ask which is the most difficult language to learn, and it is not easy to answer because there are many factors to take into consideration. People learn their mother tongue naturally, so the question of how hard a language is only suitable when learning a second language. No language is easy to learn well, but languages which are related to our first language, namely mother tongue, are easier to learn. Learning a completely different language is a huge challenge.Some people seem to learn languages quickly, while others find it very difficult. Teachers and the conditions in which they learn the language also play an important role, as well as each learner’s motivation for learning. If people learn a language because they need to use it professionally, they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their daily life.

Many countries face serious economic problems in the form of an unfavorable trade balance with other nations. Such an imbalance exists when the total value of a country’s imports exceeds that of its export. For example, if a country buys $25 billion in products from other countries, yet sells only $10 billion of its own products overseas, its trade deficit is $15 billion. Many developing countries find themselves in this position because they lack natural resources or the industrial capacity to use these resources, and thus have to import raw materials or manufactured goods from developed countries.

One effect of a trade deficit is the flow of money out of a country. In the case of a developing country, this can cause many financial difficulties, including failure to meet debt payments and difficulties of industrialization. Even in the case of a fully developed nation such as the United States, a large trade deficit is the reason for alarm. American products, produced by well-paid workers in U.S. industries cost more than those produced in places like Asia, where labor and material costs are much lower. Money spent on cheaper foreign products means money not spent on items produced by domestic American industries, thus preventing industrialization.

66. What does the passage mainly discuss?A) Several worldwide economic problems.B) Lack of resources in underdeveloped

countries.C) The causes and consequences of trade

deficits.D) Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of

developing countries.E) Guidelines of trades among countries.

67. The underlined word ‘deficit’ could best be replaced by which of the following?

A) Sufficiency.B) Gap.C) Goods and services.D) Production.E) Finance.

68. According to the passage, when does a trade imbalance occur?

A) When a country has a serious economic problem.

B) When a country sells more products overseas than it imports.

C) When a country doesn’t have natural resources.

D) When the value of the products a country imports is greater than the value of exports.

E) When inflation is higher than expected.

69. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a possible cause of a trade imbalance?

A) Low labor and material costs in Asian countries.

B) Lack of natural resources.C) Underdeveloped industrial production.D) The high cost of exported items.E) Import exceeding export.

70. It can be inferred from the passage that American industries __________.

A) do not pay their workers sufficient wagesB) import labor and material from overseasC) are badly hurt by a trade deficitD) provide a strong industrial base that

prevents a trade deficitE) produce cheaper

The Arctic ice is melting at a dangerous speed and may completely disappear by the end of this century. This is according to scientists at America's National Snow and Ice Data Centre (NSIDC). Recent satellite images showed the volume of sea ice was the lowest it had ever been. An area five times larger than the UK has disappeared so far and the melting is getting faster because of global warming. The Arctic Circle is melting so quickly that it may never recover and this dangerous process is irreversible. Less sea ice means the Earth cannot reflect the sun rays and cool itself. Warmer seas then melt more ice. The loss of sea ice in one year increases the loss in the next year. Current ice loss is estimated at 8% per decade. This means that there may be no ice at all during the Arctic summer of 2060.

71. It is clear in the passage that __________.A) besides the Arctic there are also other

icebergs melting around the arctic regionB) the Arctic ice now is the lowest ice level

that has ever beenC) it is certain that the arctic region will

remain under the water by the end of this century

D) the Arctic is five times larger than the United Kingdom

E) melting in the Arctic is reversible

72. As mentioned in the passage, what does ‘so far’ mean?

A) in the futureB) neverC) far awayD) up to nowE) in the past

73. The loss of sea ice due to global warming means __________.

A) the earth cannot take sun rays anymoreB) there may be no ice left during the Arctic

summer of 2060C) Arctic summers will be cooler D) everything will float on waterE) the earth gets cooler

74. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.

A) the world has become much more pollutedB) seas around the world have lost their water

at a dangerous rateC) scientists have not found any evidence for

melting in the ArcticD) the Arctic region is overpopulatedE) the loss of sea ice increases every year

75. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A) The speed of melting ice in the Arctic is not so alarming.

B) There is a possibility of recovery of melting ice in the future.

C) The amount of lost ice in the Arctic is equal to an area of five times larger than the UK.

D) Global warming has no effect over the world
