Aimee Fuller was born in England but now lives in the USA. She moved to the east coast of the United States at the age of 12 because she knew she wanted to be a professional snowboarder. It wasn’t possible to train properly in her hometown because it hardly ever snowed. There was a dry ski slope in her town, where she learnt how to ski and snowboard, but there weren’t any mountains with snow to practice the sport.

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.
	UN warns over impact of rapidly ageing populations. The world needs to do more to prepare for the impact of a rapidly ageing population, the UN has warned - particularly in developing countries. Within 10 years the number of people aged over 60 will pass one billion, a report by the UN Population Fund said. The demographic shift will present huge challenges to countries' welfare, pension and healthcare systems. The UN agency also said more had to be done to tackle “abuse, neglect and violence against older persons”.
	The number of older people worldwide is growing faster than any other age group. The report, Ageing in the 21st Century: A Celebration and a Challenge, estimates that one in nine people around the world are older than 60. The elderly population is expected to swell by 200 million in the next decade to surpass one billion, and reach two billion by 2050. This rising proportion of older people is a consequence of success - improved nutrition, sanitation, healthcare, education and economic well-being are contributing factors, the report says.
	But the UN and a charity that also contributed to the report, HelpAge International, say the ageing population is being widely mismanaged. "In many developing countries with large populations of young people, the challenge is that governments have not put policies and practices in place to support their current older populations or made enough preparations for 2050," the agencies said in a joint statement.
	The report warns that the skills and experience of older people are being wasted, with many under-employed and vulnerable to discrimination. HelpAge said more countries needed to introduce pension schemes to ensure economic independence and reduce poverty in old age. It stressed that it was not enough to simply pass legislation - the new schemes needed to be funded properly.
Question 44. Which of the following could be the main topic of the passage?
A. The benefits brought by the ageing population.	
B. The difficulties caused by the ageing population.
C. The causes of the rise in elderly people.	
D. The quick decrease of the elderly people.
Question 45. Which of the following is NOT true about older people?
A. The ageing population is under control.
B. By 2050, the number of older people may increase to 2 billion.
C. Countries' welfare, pension and healthcare systems will be pressurized by older people.
D. Of all the age groups, the elderly are growing the fastest. 
Question 46. The word impact in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by ______.
A. praise	B. benefit 	C. influence	D. damage
Question 47. The word It in paragraph 3 refers to ______.
A. old age	B. independence	C. HelpAge	D. poverty
Question 48. The word surpass in paragraph 2 closest in meaning to ______.

Question 49. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? 
A. Countries are preparing so many new policies for the future.
B. Ageing populations will be a burden to many countries.
	C. Ageing populations are the consequence of wars.
D. Rapidly ageing populations bring a lot of benefits to the society.
