The most significant political change in eastern
communism in
East and
the most prosperous of the Soviet satellite countries,
stagnation and environmental degradation. Waves of
East Germans registered their discontent with
worsening conditions by massive illegal emigration to
the West. This exodus together with evidence of
widespread official corruption led to the resignation of
Honecker. His successor, Egon Krenz, promised
reforms, but he was nevertheless faced with
continuing protests and continuing mass emigration.
In the end, on 4 November 1989, the government, in
a move that acknowledged its powerlessness to hold
its citizens captive, opened its border with
Germans to travel to the West. In a matter of days,
the Berlin Wall, which had been the embodiment of
the Cold War, the Iron Curtain, and the division of
East from West, was demolished by groups of
ordinary citizens. Jubilant crowds from both sides
walked through the gaping holes that now permitted
men, women, and children to take the few steps that
symbolized the return to freedom and a chance for
national unity.

The French Revolution transformed the political and diplomatic landscape of Europe suddenly and dramatically. The transformation of industry came
more gradually. By the 1830s or 1840s, however, writers and social thinkers in Europe were increasingly aware of unexpected and extraordinary
changes in their economic world. They began to speak of an “industrial revolution,” one that seemed to parallel the revolution in politics. The term has
stayed with us. The Industrial Revolution spanned the hundred years after 1780. It represented the first breakthrough from an agricultural and
overwhelmingly rural economy to one characterized by large-scale manufacturing, more capital-intensive enterprises, and urbanization. It involved new
sources of energy and power, faster transportation, mechanization, higher productivity, and new ways of organizing human labour. It triggered social changes
with revolutionary consequences for the West and its relationship with the world. Of all these changes, perhaps the most important one was to be seen in
energy. Over the space of two or three generations, a society and an economy that had traditionally drawn on water, wind, and wood for most of its energy needs came to depend on steam engines and coal. In other words, the Industrial Revolution brought the beginnings of “the fossil fuel age.”

When air pollution, including acid rain, is combined with other environmental stresses, such as low winter temperatures, prolonged droughts, insects, and bacterial, fungal, and viral diseases, it can cause plants to decline and die. More than half of the red spruce trees in the mountains of the northern United States have died since the mid-1970s. Other tree species, such as sugar maples, for example, are also dying. Many still-living trees are exhibiting symptoms of forest decline, characterized by a gradual deterioration and often eventual death. The general symptoms of forest decline are reduced vigour and growth, but some plants exhibit specific symptoms, such as yellowing of needles in conifers. Air pollutants may or may not be the primary stress that results in forest decline, but the presence of air pollution lowers plant resistance to other stress factors. When one or more stresses weaken a tree, then an additional stress may be enough to cause death.
It is suggested in the passage that air pollutants ----.
A) become very destructive for all kinds of trees when they turn into acid rain
B) have been the primary cause of the deterioration of various tree species
C) can cause forest decline when they act together with other environmental stresses
D) show their adverse effect on trees most clearly when there are prolonged droughts
E) are particularly effective on sugar maples and conifers but not other species
White Castle opened its doors in 1921, and the franchise set out to make a better name for the hamburger in a time when the ground meat patty had a bad name in popular culture. Ahead of its time, White Castle also allowed people to see their food being made, a first at the time. Franchising was introduced the same year when A&W Root Beer franchised its popular syrup. Combining these factors with Howard Johnson franchising its first restaurant in the 1930s, the stage was set for the takeoff of the industry. McDonald's opened its doors in 1948, instilling the first assembly-line-style restaurant, and from there, the fast food industry grew steadily for decades.Burger King and Taco Bell opened their doors in the 1950s, and Wendy's followed in 1969. Drive-through windows took off at fast food chains with the advent of speaker systems in the 1950s. By 2005, the fast food industry had sales totalling over $163.5 billion worldwide. McDonald's, as of 2014, has over 30, 000 franchised restaurants in 120 countries.With its success, the fast food industry has come under much scrutiny for selling unhealthy foods, marketing extensively and aggressively to children, and undermining local cultures and values in different parts of the world.

C) American fast-food industry and the history of fast food in the world

The natives of the Lewis Island know wind –sometimes too well. Every winter the Atlantic gales come blasting across the northern tip of Scotland’s Outer Hebrides. The wind hardly slows down even after striking land; in the island’s marshy interior, gusts regularly exceed 160kph. Everyone stays indoors but the sheep. Tourists arrive in summer, lured by mild temperatures and unspoiled countryside; even so, there’s rarely a calm day. “The weather here is changeable”, says Nigel Scott, spokesman for the local government. “But the wind is constant”. The brutal climate could finally be Lewis’s salvation. The place has been growing poorer and more desolate for generations, as young people seek sunnier prospects elsewhere. But now the energy industry has discovered the storm-swept island. The multinationals AMEC and British Energy are talking about plans to erect some 300 outsize wind turbines across a few thousand hectares of moorland. If the 500 million-pound project goes through, the array will be Europe’s largest wind farm, capable of churning out roughly 1 per cent of Britain’s total electrical needs – and generating some badly needed jobs and cash for the people of Lewis.
We understand from the passage that, in summer, the island of Lewis ----.
A) attracts visitors as nature there has remained unspoiled
B) enjoys a warm, wind-free climate
C) is one of the most attractive of the islands that make up the Outer Hebrides
D) has little to offer its inhabitants by way of a living other than fishing
E) can offer its inhabitants even less in the way of a livelihood than it can in the winter
