Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

The American education system requires that students complete 12 years of primary and secondary

education prior to attending university or college. This may be accomplished either at public or

government-operated schools, or at private schools. These 12 years of schooling or their equivalent may

also be completed outside the USA, thus giving foreign students the opportunity to pursue the benefits

of the American education system and obtain a quality American education. Perhaps one of the most

impressive facts is that a large number of presidents, prime ministers and leaders from other countries

have experienced the American education system and graduated from a university or school in the USA.

In many fields and industries, the American education system offers the most cutting-edge, sought-after

programs at the world's best schools. That is why graduating from an accredited American school and

being exposed to the rigors of the American education system is an investment in your future.

Whether you want to study at a top USA university, a top USA college, a vocational or high school,

a thorough understanding of how the American education system works is essential. Without a clear

grasp of the American education system, an international student will find it difficult to make the right

academic choices. It is no surprise that the American education system and the American school system

host more international students than any other country in the world!

b. International students should not study at a top USA university, a top USA college, a vocational or

high school.

c. Without a clear grasp of the American education system, an international student can make the right

academic choices

d. International students should have a thorough understanding of how the American education system

works before going there to study.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the

correct answer to each of the questions from 67 to 76.

Very few people, groups, or governments oppose globalization in its entirety. Instead, critics of

globalization believe aspects of the way globalization operates should be changed. The debate over

globalization is about what the best rules are for governing the global economy so that its advantages

can grow while its problems can be solved.

On one side of this debate are those who stress the benefits of removing barriers to international

trade and investment, allowing capital to be allocated more efficiently and giving consumers greater

freedom of choice. With free-market globalization, investment funds can move unimpeded from the rich

countries to the developing countries. Consumers can benefit from cheaper products because reduced

taxes make goods produced at low cost from faraway places cheaper to buy. Producers of goods gain by

selling to a wider market. More competition keeps sellers on their toes and allows ideas and new

technology to spread and benefit others.

On the other side of the debate are critics who see neo-liberal policies as producing greater poverty,

inequality, social conflict, cultural destruction, and environmental damage. They say that the most

developed nations – the United States, Germany, and Japan – succeeded not because of free trade but

because of protectionism and subsidies. They argue that the more recently successful economies of

South Korea, Taiwan, and China all had strong state-led development strategies that did not follow neo-

liberalism. These critics think that government encouragement of “infant industries” – that is, industries

that are just beginning to develop – enables a country to become internationally competitive.

Furthermore, those who criticize the Washington Consensus suggest that the inflow and outflow of

money from speculative investors must be limited to prevent bubbles. These bubbles are characterized

by the rapid inflow of foreign funds that bid up domestic stock markets and property values. When the

economy cannot sustain such expectation, the bubbles burst as investors panic and pull their money out

of the country.

Protests by what is called the anti-globalization movement are seldom directed against globalization

itself but rather against abuses that harm the rights of workers and the environment. The question raised

by nongovernmental organizations and protesters at WTO and IMF gatherings is whether globalization

will result in a rise of living standards or a race to the bottom as competition takes the form of lowering

living standards and undermining environmental regulations.

One of the key problems of the 21^stcentury will be determining to what extent markets should be

regulated to promote fair competition, honest dealing, and fair distribution of public goods on a global

scale.

From “Globalization” by Tabb, William K., Microsoft ® Student 2009 [DVD]
