57. In developing countries, poor people have
suffered the most from shortages of clean
water. There are several reasons for this.
First, in many developing countries, the
majority of houses in poor villages and
urban slums are not yet served by a piped
water system. ---- Second, these people
usually have few alternatives to the piped
water supply. There may be water closer by
in rivers or lakes, but this is often
dangerously polluted. In poor areas, street
vendors often sell water by the litre, but they
often charge extremely high prices for water
that is not always safe to drink.
A) Because less than half of the city's 10
million residents have access to piped
water, illegal digging of wells is common.
B) Lack of access to improved water supply
has been responsible for the spread of
water-borne diseases on a scale not
witnessed in decades.
C) Safely managed drinking water and
sanitation services means drinking water
free of contamination that is available at
home when needed.
D) Access to safe water and sanitation
means opportunity for improved health
and the ability to help fight disease.
E) People living in these places often have to
walk many miles to find water and carry it
home in jugs and plastic containers.

58. War is as old as human societies. Certain
hunter-gatherer societies engaged in
skirmishes over territory and resources. The
earliest city states and empire in
Mesopotamia became the first to employ
standing armies. Organization and structure
has since been central to warfare, as
illustrated by the success of highly
disciplined troops of the Roman Empire. ----
Inventions created for warfare have also
played an important role in other fields. The
continued advance of technology has led to
an increase in the destructiveness and cost
of warfare throughout human history.
A) As well as organizational change,
technology has played a central role in the
evolution of warfare.
B) In addition, today war is almost
unanimously seen as undesirable and
morally problematic.
C) The Ancient Romans waged many wars in
order to expand and protect their empire.
D) Total war is the modern term for the
targeting of civilians and the mobilization
of an entire society.
E) Sometimes, the term "war" is restricted to
those conflicts where one or both
belligerents have made a formal
declaration of war.

59. The country with the second-highest youth
unemployment rate is Greece, with 55.3%
youth unemployment. ---- Even if European
creditors agreed to lend 86 billion euros to
help prop up the country’s fledgling
economy, the funds will bring ultimately
further rounds of austerity measures in the
future. This is why the youth unemployment
rate in Greece is unlikely to decrease
anytime soon, and the situation moving
forward is looking bleak indeed.
A) Gender wage gaps and discrimination
against female employees is widespread
in the private sector.
B) Greece has experienced a severe
economic recession and deep cuts in
public spending over the past seven
years.
C) Although unemployment figures can be
discouraging, job seekers need to dive
deep into research before rushing to
conclusions.
D) However, the economic recovery is
expected to accelerate assuming a
successful completion of the stability
support programme.
E) Women face much higher unemployment
rates in most countries and have lower
labour market participation rates.
