Read the following passage about urbanization and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
It's a widely held belief that cities harm the environment. For this reason, many developing countries have
imposed restrictions on the movement of people from rural to urban areas and on the size of large cities. But there are
problems with this viewpoint. Urbanization that is properly controlled can benefit the environment in a number of
ways.
First, urbanization is a highly productive force due to the combination of economies of scale and positive
externalities. Over 5.5 times as much is produced in Asia's cities as in its rural areas. Urban agglomeration makes it
possible to use fewer resources to produce the same amount of work as non-urban areas. Urbanization therefore
reduces the environmental impact. Urbanization is necessary because the service sector depends on a concentration of
clients. The growth of service industries, which typically generate less waste than manufacturing, is another
environmentally beneficial aspect of urbanization.
Second, for any given population, high urban density has no effect on the environment. According to urban
economics studies, density is one of the most significant factors influencing energy consumption. In places with a
high population density, public transportation may be more convenient and quicker. City dwellers are more likely to
walk or ride a bike instead of drive. Third, the construction, upkeep, and operation of environmentally friendly public
services and infrastructure, such as waste management, sanitation, and piped water, are considerably simpler and less
expensive in urban areas. More people can now afford to use eco-friendly facilities and services thanks to
urbanization.
Fourth, urbanization is driving the development of new technologies, including eco-friendly ones. Eco-friendly
vehicles, utilities, and equipment are essential to the green economy's long-term survival. Asia's enormous market
will support green innovations in cities because the region's enormous population will provide entrepreneurs with
many incentives and opportunities to invest in the development of energy-efficient products. Last but not least, the
improved standard of living brought about by urbanization has improved access to housing, food, healthcare, and
education. Cities with more residents can invest more in infrastructure, which reduces traffic and improves public
health. Urbanization fosters pro-environmental attitudes, especially among middle-class property owners, which
greatly aid in the introduction and enforcement of environmental laws and regulations.
Any expanding city will inevitably incur expenses. People are moving in large numbers to Asian cities, and many
companies have opened offices there to capitalize on this trend. Examples of industrial operations that contribute to
urban sprawl and harm the environment include the generation of electricity, transportation, construction, trash, and
waste disposal. Both the advantages and disadvantages of urbanization should be taken into account when assessing
its effects on the environment.

Read the following passage about the CULTURAL DIVERSITY and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your
answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
[I] Belgium features a fascinating mix of ancient traditions and contemporary legislation, showcasing the
country’s rich history. [II]. In Belgium, the families of the bride and groom each pitch in by providing a sheet of
paper for the wedding invitations, in line with a long-standing tradition. [III] The wedding invitations symbolize the
new partnership and the merging of the two families. [IV]
In an old Belgian tradition meant to bring the two families closer together, the bride would pause halfway down
the aisle to give her mother a solitary flower. They hold each other's arms. The newlyweds then make their way to the
groom's mother-in-law during the recessional, where the bride presents her with a solitary flower as a token of her
affection. As a sign of the bride's acceptance of her new mother, they embrace.
Carrying a uniquely embroidered handkerchief bearing the bride's name is one of the most significant and long-
standing customs of the Belgian wedding. This handkerchief will be framed and displayed in a special spot after the
wedding. Before each subsequent female member of the bride's family is married, the handkerchief is taken out of its
frame, embroidered with the name of the new bride, and then passed down through the generations. A bridal
handkerchief is a treasured memento that is passed down through the generations.
There are two big chairs placed near the altar where the bride and groom sit during the wedding mass,
representing their throne as king and queen for the day and the location. As the ceremony comes to a close, the groom
places the wedding ring on the third finger of the bride's left hand. Because it is a circle, the ring represents love that
knows no bounds, and the third finger of the left hand represents love because it is thought to hold the vein that goes
to the heart. Soon after the wedding, the newlyweds kiss for the first time as husband and wife. Because each partner
takes a breath of their new spouse's spirit, the kiss is a metaphor for the couple's spiritual union.
Traditionally, as the bride and husband leave the church, the bridesmaids gather a handful of pennies and then
scatter them among the less fortunate outside. The happy couple might increase their chances of financial success by
donating to charity.
A honeymoon is for the newlyweds after the wedding. Honey wine, or mead, was traditionally drunk during the
28-day honeymoon, which corresponds to one lunar cycle, in ancient times. The purpose of this was to prevent the
bride's relatives from attempting to reclaim their daughter from her husband.
Question 31: Where in paragraph 1 does the following sentence best fit?
Marriages in Belgium can take place as either civil or religious ceremonies.
A. [I] B. [II] C. [III] D. [IV]
Question 32: The phrase“pitch in” in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by________.
A. Give up B. Turn down C. Take off D. Help out
Question 33: The word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to____________.
A. Two families B. The newlyweds C. The bride and her mother-in-law D. The bride and her mother
Question 34: According to paragraph 2, which of the things is TRUE as a factor that brings the two families closer
together?
A. wedding invitations B. a single flower C. big chairs D. the handkerchief
Question 35: Which of the following best summarises paragraph 3?
A. The bridal handkerchief is an important family heirloom in Belgian weddings, symbolizing a tradition of passing
down names through generations.
B. The handkerchief is often used by bridesmaids during the wedding ceremony for practical purposes.
C. The bridal handkerchief is a simple accessory that serves no particular purpose during the wedding.
D. The tradition of using a handkerchief in Belgian weddings is a recent development without much historical
significance.
Question 36: The word “scatter” in paragraph 5 is OPPOSITE in meaning to_______.
A. compose B. assemble C. regret D. vegetate
Question 37: According to the paragraph, what is TRUE about the wedding ring?
A. The bride's right hand has it adorned on the third finger.
4
B. At the start of the ceremony, the groom puts on the ring that belonged to his partner.
C. The couple's limitless love is symbolized by the ring.
D. Both their nation's queen and king present the ring to them.

B. The elaborate traditions associated with traditional Belgian marriages make this event captivating.
C. It illustrates the distinction between contemporary and traditional wedding ceremonies in Belgium.
D. The objective was to deter the bride's family from seeking to retrieve their daughter from her spouse.

family.
B. Belgian weddings are centered around religious traditions with little emphasis on family customs.

Read the following passage about the CULTURAL DIVERSITY and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your
answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
[I] Belgium features a fascinating mix of ancient traditions and contemporary legislation, showcasing the
country’s rich history. [II]. In Belgium, the families of the bride and groom each pitch in by providing a sheet of
paper for the wedding invitations, in line with a long-standing tradition. [III] The wedding invitations symbolize the
new partnership and the merging of the two families. [IV]
In an old Belgian tradition meant to bring the two families closer together, the bride would pause halfway down
the aisle to give her mother a solitary flower. They hold each other's arms. The newlyweds then make their way to the
groom's mother-in-law during the recessional, where the bride presents her with a solitary flower as a token of her
affection. As a sign of the bride's acceptance of her new mother, they embrace.
Carrying a uniquely embroidered handkerchief bearing the bride's name is one of the most significant and long-
standing customs of the Belgian wedding. This handkerchief will be framed and displayed in a special spot after the
wedding. Before each subsequent female member of the bride's family is married, the handkerchief is taken out of its
frame, embroidered with the name of the new bride, and then passed down through the generations. A bridal
handkerchief is a treasured memento that is passed down through the generations.
There are two big chairs placed near the altar where the bride and groom sit during the wedding mass,
representing their throne as king and queen for the day and the location. As the ceremony comes to a close, the groom
places the wedding ring on the third finger of the bride's left hand. Because it is a circle, the ring represents love that
knows no bounds, and the third finger of the left hand represents love because it is thought to hold the vein that goes
to the heart. Soon after the wedding, the newlyweds kiss for the first time as husband and wife. Because each partner
takes a breath of their new spouse's spirit, the kiss is a metaphor for the couple's spiritual union.
Traditionally, as the bride and husband leave the church, the bridesmaids gather a handful of pennies and then
scatter them among the less fortunate outside. The happy couple might increase their chances of financial success by
donating to charity.
A honeymoon is for the newlyweds after the wedding. Honey wine, or mead, was traditionally drunk during the
28-day honeymoon, which corresponds to one lunar cycle, in ancient times. The purpose of this was to prevent the
bride's relatives from attempting to reclaim their daughter from her husband.
