Assessment Day Practice Aptitude Tests Instituted in 1979 as a temporary measure to limit population growth, China’s one child policy remains in force today and is likely to continue for another decade. China’s population control policy has attracted criticism because of the manner in which it is enforced, and also because of its social repercussions. Supporters of the Chinese government’s policy consider it a necessary measure to curb extreme overpopulation, which has resulted in a reduction of an estimated 300 million people in its first twenty years. Not only is a reduced population environmentally beneficial, it also increases China’s per capita gross domestic product. The one-child policy has led to a disparate ratio of males to females – with abortion, abandonment and infanticide of female infants resulting from a cultural preference for sons. Furthermore, Draconian measures such as forced sterilization are strongly opposed by critics as a violation of human reproduction rights. The one-child policy is enforced strictly in urban areas, whereas in provincial regions fines are imposed on families with more than one child. There are also exceptions to the rules – for example, ethnic minorities. A rule also allows couples without siblings to have two children – a provision which applies to millions of sibling-free adults now of child-bearing age. Q1 . China’s one-child policy increases the country’s wealth. True False Cannot say Cannot Say-The fourth sentence states that the policy increases China’s per capita gross domestic product, however this is just one economic indicator and is based on output per person. The passage does not tell us if overall, the country as a whole has increased wealth due to the one child policy. Since the passage does not tell us either way, we must respond Cannot Say. Q2 . The passage suggests that two-child families will dramatically increase , as sibling-free adults reach child-bearing age. True False Cannot say False-The last sentence merely presents the fact that millions of sibling-free couples are able to have two children, and does not speculate as to the implications. Q3 . The main criticism of China’s one-child policy is that it violates human rights. True False Cannot say Cannot Say-The second sentence states that both the policy’s manner of enforcement and its social repercussions are criticised – but does not state which is the main criticism. So based on the information we are given, we cannot say. Q4 . Families with more than one child are more common in China’s rural areas. True False Cannot say Cannot Say-While the 7th sentence states that the policy is enforced less strictly in provincial regions, comparative figures are not provided. One might deduce this statement is likely given what we are told, but we are not told explicitly if this is true or false, therefore we cannot say. Q5 . The general preference among Chinese parents is for male babies. True False Cannot say True-The fifth sentence tells us that “a disparate ratio of males to females” is the resul
