3. Tourists arc more in danger as......................... 
A) they do not have any maps to know their way. 
B) maps that can be owned by Americans are inaccessible to tourists. 
C) maps showing larger parts of cities are usually unavailable to tourists. 
D) mental maps introduced lately to help people that walk out after the dark falls. 
E) they lack Americans' instinctive awareness of which parts of cities are more dangerous. 
People struggling against starvation, ignorance and disease value political ideology only to the extent that it 
affects their own desperate condition. Similarly, the evils of the drug trade are relative. Peasants, struggling 
to put food on the table for their children, see income from coca leaf production 
as their salvation. Narco traffickers, taking advantage of the desperation of poverty and the seemingly 
insatiable North American demand for drugs, often provide a welcome means of economic stability for those 
unfortunates for whom there are few alternatives. Many people in Latin America, actually, argue 
passionately that it is far more preferable to send cocaine north for the gringos than to allow their own 
children to starve. The consequences, they say with a shrug, are a North American problem. 
4. It is stressed in the passage that................... 
A) coca, from which cocaine is produced, is grown by North Americans for illegal income as they are 
economically hopeless. 
B) Latin Americans provide an indispensable market for narcotraffickers as they would do anything to save 
their children from starvation. 
C) political ideology is not valued by those struggling against starvation, ignorance and disease unless it 
affects their economic deprivation positively. 
D) only for a small amount of money they earn by growing coca, North Americans cause the death of many 
people in the North America. 
E) it is by North Americans that the gringos were accustomed to drug use. 
5. Coca farmers deny any responsibility for probable bad results of this trade..................... 
A) saying reluctantly that it is the problem of the North Americans. 
B) arguing anxiously that it is Latin America's problem. 
C) with a gesture of dismissal. 
D) placing the blame on the regional government. 
E) with a gesture suggesting they do not care about them. 
6. A stable amount of money earnable by production of coca is regarded by Latin Americans in miserable 
conditions as................... 
A) a solution to develop their country economically. 
B) the only way for saving their children from dying of hunger. 
C) the unique solution to the poverty all over the world. 
D) salvation from ignorance and disease. 
E) something which can be done to a certain extent. 
The problems which the Third World will experience in the coming decades are immense. Many nations 
there will continue to face economic stagnation fuelled by weak world commodity prices, a shortage of 
investment capital, debt, ecological decay, underdeveloped infrastructure, population pressure and the 
absence of available and appropriate technology. The movement toward democracy which exploded in the 
1980s will experience fits and starts as sectarian, military involvement in politics and international tensions 
will hinder political reforms. Uneven economic development and stifled political reform, combined with ever-
increasing public demands, will set the stage for violent conflict. 
7....................is not estimated to cause economic recession. 
A) Lowering of the prices of products. 
B) The shortage of money for investment. 
C) Environmental betterment. 
D) Overpopulation.
