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. 
 Despite widespread assumptions to the contrary, there is no prescribed pathway for the 
development of a society, no single model on which development strategies should be based. The Western 
model of development, conceived linear process involving largely economic factors, is often incompatible 
with the complex social, cultural and political dimensions of societies pursuing different goals, reflecting 
their own values. The ideology of development has all too often tended to damage the social fabric and 
foundations- often rooted in traditions of communal solidarity- of the communities that have received 
“development aid” 
 Just as no development strategy can be said to be culturally neutral, a culturally sensitive approach 
to development is the key to addressing the interlinked social, economic and environmental problems 
confronting the planet as a whole. Cultural diversity - which emphasizes the dynamic interactions between 
cultures and sensitivity to cultural contexts - thus becomes a key lever for ensuring sustainable, holistic 
development strategies. While the international community, in its attempts to operationalize the concept of 
sustainable development over the last two decades, has begun to acknowledge the role of culture in the 
development process, the cultural factor has yet to be fully integrated into the development equation. 
The 1987 Bruntland Report of the UN Commission on Environment and Development (UNCED), entitled 
our Common Future, was seminal in its assertion that genuine development must be sustainable - denoting 
a form of growth “that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future 
generations to meet their own needs". At the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, sustainability was 
conceived in terms of the three pillars of economic viability, social responsiveness and respect for the 
environment. These pillars have since served as the basis for important standard-setting instruments, 
including the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the Nations Framework Convention on 
Climate Change (UNFCCC). The 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg went 
further by recognizing cultural diversity as a significant cross-cutting factor in sustainable development. 
Cultural diversity must be seen as a cross-cutting (rather than as a separate, fourth pillar of sustainability), 
with an important role to play in all development projects, from poverty eradication and the safeguarding 
of biodiversity to resource management and climate change.

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. 
 Thunderstorms, with their jagged bursts of lightning and roaring thunder, are actually one of 
nature’s primary mechanisms for transferring heat from the surface of the earth into the atmosphere. A 
thunderstorm starts when low-lying pockets of warm air from the surface of the earth begin to rise. The 
pockets of warm air float upward through the air above that is both cooler and heavier. The rising pockets 
cool as their pressure decreases, and their latent heat is released above the condensation line through the 
formation of cumulus clouds. 
 What will happen with these clouds depends on the temperature of the atmosphere. In winter, the 
air temperature differential between higher and lower altitudes is not extremely great, and the temperature 
of the rising air mass drops more slowly. During these colder months, the atmosphere, therefore, tends to 
remain rather stable. In summer, however, when there is a high accumulation of heat near the earth’s 
surface, in direct contrast to the considerably colder air higher up, the temperature differential between 
higher and lower altitudes is much more pronounced. As warm air rises in this type of environment, the 
temperature drops much more rapidly than it does in winter; when the temperature drops more than 4 
degrees Fahrenheit per thousand feet of altitude, cumulus clouds aggregate into a single massive 
cumulonimbus cloud, or thunderhead. 
 In isolation, a single thunderstorm is an impressive but fairly benign way for Mother Earth to 
defuse trapped heat from her surface; thunderstorms, however, can appear in concert, and the resulting 
show, while extremely impressive, can also prove extraordinarily destructive. When there is a large-scale 
collision between cold air and warm air masses during the summer months, a squall line, or series of 
thunderheads, may develop. It is common for a squall line to begin when an advancing cold front meets up 
with and forces itself under a layer of warm and moist air, creating a line of thunderstorms that races 
forward at speeds of approximately forty miles per hour. A squall line, which can be hundreds of miles 
long and can contain fifty distinct thunderheads, is a magnificent force of nature with incredible potential

for destruction. Within the squall line, often near its southern end, can be found supercells, long-lived 
rotating storms of exceptional strength that serve as the source of tornadoes.

 A. have circling winds B. can give birth to tornadoes

 A. the greater temperature differential between higher and lower altitudes makes thunderstorms more

 B. the temperature of rising air drops more slowly than it does in winter 
 C. there is not much cold air higher up in the atmosphere 
 D. there is not a great temperature differential between higher and lower attitudes
