part of what the World Bank says is one of the fastest rates of urbanisation in Asia.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer.
It is estimated that over 99 percent of all species that ever existed have become extinct. What causes
extinction? When a species is no longer adapted to a changed environment, it may perish. The exact causes
of a species’ death vary from situation to situation. Rapid ecological change may render an environment
hostile to a species. For example, temperatures may change and a species may not be able to adapt. Food
Resources may be affected by environmental changes, which will then cause problems for a species
requiring these resources. Other species may become better adapted to an environment, resulting in
competition and, ultimately, in the death of a species.
The fossil record reveals that extinction has occurred throughout the history of Earth. Recent
analyses have also revealed that on some occasions many species became extinct at the same time – a
mass extinction. One of the best-known examples of mass extinction occurred 65 million years ago with the
demise of dinosaurs and many other forms of life. Perhaps the largest mass extinction was the one that
occurred 225 million years ago. When approximately 95 percent of all species died, mass extinctions can be
caused by a relatively rapid change in the environment and can be worsened by the close interrelationship of
many species. If, for example, something were to happen to destroy much of the plankton in the oceans,
then the oxygen content of Earth would drop, affection even organisms not living in the oceans. Such a
change would probably lead to a mass extinction.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer.
The ancient Egyptians firmly believed in the afterlife and spent their time on earth preparing for it.
Elaborate burial rituals included preparing the burial site, providing for all of the deceased's material needs
(food, clothing, jewels and tools for their trade), and preserving the corpse so that it would not decay. This
preservation was accomplished through a process of mummification. The ancients left no written accounts
as the execution of this process, so scientists have had to examine mummies and establish their own
theories. The embalming process might have taken up to seven days for the pharaohs and nobility and only
a few days for the poor.
The embalmers spread a variety of compounds of salt, spices and resins in allover the corpse to
preserve it. They followed this with a prescribed wrapping, a procedure in which the wound strips of fine linen
around, over and under the body while placing various amulets within the wrappings to protect the deceased
