B. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer.
In an early survey conducted in 1888, a billion and a half people inhabited the earth. Now, the
population is about six billion and is growing fast. Even though the rate of growth has begun to slow
down, most people believe the population size may be eight billion during the next several years.
If we examine the amount of land available for this ever increasing population, we begin to see the
problem. Not all land is useful to us because it cannot produce food. We can cut out about one fifth of it
because it is covered by snow and ice. Then we can cut out another fifth because it is desert. Another
fifth is mountains. The other fifth does not have enough soil for crops to grow because it is bare rock.
Obviously, with so little land to support us, we should take great care not to reduce it any more or with the
rapidly growing population we may sooner or later lack food to eat and place to live in.
41. What is the main topic of the passage?
a. The world's population and the shortage of cultivated land.
b. The growth of the world's population.
c. The necessity of reducing the rate of birth.
d. The shortage of cultivated land.
42. The world's population ______ at present.
a. has stopped growing b. is still growing
c. is decreasing rapidly d. stands at about eight billion
43. According to the passage, we ______.
a. can cultivate on all land. b. are not influenced by the land reduction
c. can grow crops on bare rock d. should protect land
44. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word 'bare' in the second paragraph?
a. hard b. empty c. treeless d. rough
45. Which of the following sentences is not true according to the passage?
a. Most of the world's land are uncultivated.
b. The rapid growth of population may lead to a shortage of land.
c. Only one fifth of the world's land is being cultivated.
d. There has been a dramatic reduction of the birth rate.

Robert Edwards was blinded in an automobile accident nine years ago. He was also partially deaf because of
his old age. Last week, he was walking near his home when a thunderstorm approached. He took refuge under
a tree and was struck by lightning. He was knocked to the ground and woke up twenty minutes later lying face
down in water below a tree. He went into the house and lay down in bed. A short time later, he awoke: his legs
were unfeeling and he was trembling, but when he opened his eyes, he could see the clock across the room
fading in and out in front of him. When his wife entered, he saw her for the first time in nine years. Doctors
confirm that he has regained his sight and hearing apparently from the flash of lightning but they are unable to
explain the occurrence. The only possible explanation offered by one doctor was that since Edward lost his sight
