During 1974 the two major problems that has faced the industrially developed countries were an 
unprecedented rise in prices and a serious deterioration in the external payments position, both legacies of 
the quadrupling of oil prices at the end of the previous year." Most governments, therefore, were forced to 
adopt monetary and fiscal policies aimed at curbing inflation, and by the early 1975 the external payments 
position had improved some-what in most Western industrialized countries. These anti-inflationary policies, 
however, depressed the level of business activity. 
4. The economic crisis of 1974 ... 
A. had a serious and lasting impact on unemployment 
B. grew even more serious in 1975 in all the Western industrialized societies 
C. was a direct result of the sudden sharp increase in late 1973 of oil prices 
D. was confined to underdeveloped countries 
E. contributed to an increase in monetary transactions 
5. In most countries efforts made in 1974 to curb inflation .... 
A. led to an improvement in the situation within a year 
B. increased unemployment and caused political instability 
C. caused an even greater deficit in external payments 
D. failed totally due to the ever increasing oil prices 
E. received the full support of industrialists 
6. The author argues that inflation in 1974 ....... 
A. was mishandled by a majority of governments 
B. also showed itself clearly in the growing deficit in the balance of payments 
C. hit developed countries more than underdeveloped countries 
D. eventually brought about a business boom 
E. finally did bring down the price of oil. 
The great wave of international terrorism that first reached a climax in 1972 showed no signs of abating in 
1975. Strictly speaking, the phenomenon was not new; what was new was its rapid growth in the 1970s, 
made possible by increasingly sophisticated technology. Some of this new technology consists of 
specialized equipment, such as miniaturized or remote-control detonating devices, hand-held rocket 
launchers, and the like, which make terrorism more lethal, more effective, and less risky for the terrorist. But 
even improvements in generally available technology are important. For example, self-dialling international 
telephone communications and jet travel facilitate conspiracies across national boundaries and the 
perpetration of political crimes by nationals of country in another. The growth of television has contributed to 
the easy dissemination of terrorist techniques, such as hijacking of aircraft and the kidnapping of diplomats 
or businessmen for ransom. 
7. It is argued that..... 
A. governments have not taken adequate measures to protect diplomats and businessmen. 
B. owing to technological innovations terrorism has been on the decline since the early 1970. 
C. among the methods resorted to by terrorists, kidnapping and hijacking are the most common. 
D. the manufacture of sophisticated technological equipment should be under strict governmental control. 
E. various advances in technology have contributed to the increase in terrorism through the world.
