Read the following passage and mark the letterA, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
WONDERS OF THE MODERN WORLD
 I don't believe that today's wonders are similar in kind to the wonders of the Ancient World. They were all buildings, such as the Pyramids in Egypt, or other architectural structures. Over the past 100 years, we have seen amazing technological and scientific achievements. These are surely our modern wonders.
1. It is everywhere. More than half a billion people use it, and the number of people who are online increases by 100 million every year. In 1994, there were only a few hundred web pages. Today there are billions. It has revolutionized the way we live and work. But we are still in the early days. Soon there will be more and more interactivity between the user and the website, and we will be able to give instructions using speech.
2. In 1960, Neil Armstrong stepped out of his space capsule onto the surface of the moon and made his famous statement: 'That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind'. Since then, there have been space probes to Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and even to the sun. One day, a space observatory will study how the first stars and galaxies began. So far, it seems that we are alone in the universe. There are no signs yet that there is intelligent life outside our own solar system. But who knows what the future holds?
3. Surely nothing has done more for the comfort and happiness of the human race than the advances in health care! How many millions of people have benefited from the humble aspirin? How many lives has penicillin saved? Average life expectancy worldwide has risen dramatically over the past 100 years, from about 47 years in 1900 to about 77 years today.
4. We are a world on the move. Airlines carry more than 1.5 bullion people to their destinations every year. It is estimated that, at any one time these days, there are as many people travelling in aeroplanes as the total number of people who travelled abroad in the whole of the nineteenth century (but I have no idea how they worked this out).
5. It is true that they are now commercialized, and there is greed and drug abuse. However, it is a competition in which almost every country in the world takes part. Every four years, for a brief moment, we see the world come together in peace and friendship. We feel hope again for the future of mankind.
6. In 1724, Jonathan Swift wrote, 'Whoever makes two blades of grass or two ears of corn grow where only one grew before serves mankind better than the whole race of politicians’. In Europe our farmers have done this. In 1790, whole villages in France died of hunger. Now in Europe, we can't eat all the food we produce. If only politicians could find a way to share it with those parts of the world where there is famine.
7. We are still here! The last wonder of the modern world is simply that we are still here. We have had nuclear weapons for over 50 years that could destroy the world, but we haven't used them to do it. This is surely the greatest wonder of all.
41. What has changed because of the Internet?
A. The way we live and work. 	B. The way we entertain.
C. The way we love. 	D. The way we study.
42. What has happened in space exploration since 1969?
A. Spaceships fly much faster in the space.
B. Space probes have been to Mars. Jupiter, Saturn, and the Sun.
C. Aliens have visited the earth several times.
D. People have flown to the planets outside the solar system.
43. What is the most noticeable result of better health care?
A. Average life expectancy has risen dramatically.
B. Average life expectancy is 47 nowadays.
C. The diseases have become more dangerous.
D. Many people are healthier.
44. X = the number of people who travelled abroad in the nineteenth century. What does X also equal?
A. The number of people travelling abroad today.
B. The number of airplanes in the world.
C. The number of people in aeroplanes at any one moment nowadays.
D. The number of people in aeroplanes in the nineteenth century.
45. ‘We are still here!’ Why is this a wonder?
A. We have struggled successfully against pollution.
B. We have solved many medical problems.
C. We have been able to avoid natural disasters.
D. We haven't used nuclear weapons to destroy the world yet.
