UNIT 7: WORLD POPULATION PHẦN I: READING Đọc đoạn văn sau và chọn một câu trả lời thích hợp nhất, từ câu 1 đến câu 5 The population of the world has increased more in modern times than in all other ages of history combined. World population totalled about 500 million in 1650. It doubled in the period from 1650 - 1680. By the year 2000, the population will be about 6.6 billion. Estimates based on research by the United Nations indicate that it will double in the twenty-five years between 1975 and the year 2000. No one knows the limits of the population that the earth can support. Thomas Malthus, an English economist, developed a theory that became widely accepted in the nineteenth century. He suggested that because world population tended to increase more rapidly than food supply, we should continuously constrain available resources. Malthus cited wars, famines, epidemics and other disasters as in the usual limitations of world population growth. With recent advances in science and technology, including improved agricultural methods and great progresses and in medicine, some of the limiting factors in population growth have been lessened, with obvious results. International organizations have recommended programmes to encourage general economic development that target areas along with a decrease in birth rates to effect a lasting solution. Câu 1: Which of the options below is the best title for the passage? A. A Brief History of Population and Over-population B. Limiting Factors in Population Growth C. The United Nations' Estimate D. Thomas Malthus's Theory Câu 2: What is the population from the estimates based on research by the US? A. Two million B. Five hundred million C. Seven billion D. Over six billion Câu 3: Who was Thomas Malthus? A. A scientist B. An economist C. A doctor of medicine D. A United Nations' representative Câu 4: According to the passage, the limiting factors in population growth have been lessened because of __________. A. precaution B. disasters C. improved technology D. scarcity Câu 5: What do most experts recommend in order to solve problems of overpopulation? A. Medical advance and improved agricultural methods. B. Famine and epidemic. C. Economic development and a decline in the bith rate. D. Conservation of available resources.

First we'll touch on the relationship between fluorocarbons and the ozone layer. You probably remember that the ozone layer is the protective shield around the earth. It is important to all life, because it filters out harmful ultraviolet light from the sun. Ozone itself, a form of oxygen, is regularly destroyed by natural chemical processes. The problem now is that too much of the ozone layer is being destroyed. Scientists suspect that certain chemicals, such as fluorocarbons, are contributing to the depletion of the ozone layer. And how do we use fluorocarbons? The most common uses are in spray cans and cooling systems. The chemical pollution from theses fuorocrabons can account for some of the ozone losses that have been reported. There are, however, new studies linking the sun itself to the depletion of the ozone layer. We'll go into that new study more next time. Câu 1: Who is the most likely speaker? A. A mechanic B. A professor C. A doctor D. A chemist Câu 2: What is the speaker's main topic? A. Fluorocarbons and ozone layer B. Ultraviolet C. Air-conditioning systems D. The uses of spray cans Câu 3: What is the most important purpose of the ozone layer? A. Providing fluorocarbons B. Shielding the sun C. Protecting the earth D. Destroying chemicals Câu 4: What is the ozone layer made of? A. Ultraviolet light B. Shields C. Oxygen D. Fluorocarbons Câu 5: What will the speaker probably discuss next? A. The make-up of the ozone layer B. How to make air conditioners with fuorocarbons C. Harmful effects of ultraviolet light D. The sun as a cause of ozone layer depletion PHẦN II: VOCABULARY Dùng những từ đã cho điền vào chỗ trống để hoàn thành câu: e-mail communicable communication telecommunication judgement message on-line well-trained facsimile service fax delivery installation 1.
