XI.
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 .
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be
sensitive
to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of
the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage
. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes
and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:
usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things
that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-
quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new
ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality
appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way,
if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the
manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse
. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the
bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In
some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage
dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle
. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and
used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one
aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle
aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.
36.
What is the main topic of the passage?
A.
What people often understand about the term 'recycle'.
B.
How to reduce garbage disposal.
C.
How to live sensitively to the environment.
D.
What is involved in the recycling movement.
37.
Which is described as one of the most industrialized areas?
A.
South America
B.
Middle East
C.
Europe
D.
Asia
38.
What does the word '
sensitive
' in the phrase 'sensitive to the environment' in paragraph 1 mean?
A.
logical
B.
friendly
C.
cautious
D.
responding
39.
People can do the following to reduce waste EXCEPT________.
A.
buy simply-wrapped things
B.
reuse cups
C.
buy fewer hamburgers
D.
buy high-quality products
40.
Why is it a waste when customers buy low-quality products?
A.
Because they produce less energy.
B.
Because they have to be repaired many times.
C.
Because people will soon throw them away.
D.
Because customers change their ideas all the time.

In 776 B.C, the Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount Olympus to honour the Greek's chief

caused the Greeks to create competitive sports. Only the elite and military could participate at first, but
later the Games were open to all free Greeks males who had no criminal record. The Greeks emphasized
physical fitness and strength in their education of youth. Therefore, contests in running, jumping, discus
and javelin throwing, boxing and horse and chariot racing were held in individual cities, and the winners
competed every four years at Mount Olympus. Winners were greatly honoured by having olive wreaths
placed on their heads and having poems sung about their
deeds

helped to strengthen bonds among competitors and the different cities represented. The Greeks attached
so much importance to the Games that they calculated time in four- year cycles called "Olympiads"

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 .
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be
sensitive
to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of
the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage
. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes
and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:
usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things
that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-
quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new
ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality
appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way,
if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the
manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse
. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the
bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In
some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage
dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle
. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and
used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one
aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle
aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.
43.

In 776 B.C, the Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount Olympus to honour the Greek's chief
god, Zeus. The warm climate for outdoor activities, the need for preparedness in war, and their lifestyle
caused the Greeks to create competitive sports. Only the elite and military could participate at first, but
later the Games were open to all free Greeks males who had no criminal record. The Greeks emphasized
physical fitness and strength in their education of youth. Therefore, contests in running, jumping, discus
and javelin throwing, boxing and horse and chariot racing were held in individual cities, and the winners
competed every four years at Mount Olympus. Winners were greatly honoured by having olive wreaths
placed on their heads and having poems sung about their
deeds
. Originally these contests were held as
games of friendship, and any wars in progress were halted to allow the games to take place. They also
helped to strengthen bonds among competitors and the different cities represented. The Greeks attached
so much importance to the Games that they calculated time in four- year cycles called "Olympiads"
dating from 776 B.C. The contests coincided with religious festivities and constituted an all-out effort on

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 .
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be
sensitive
to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of
the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage
. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes
and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:
usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things
that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-
quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new
ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality
appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way,
if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the
manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse
. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the
bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In
some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage
dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle
. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and
used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one
aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle
aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.

In 776 B.C, the Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount Olympus to honour the Greek's chief
god, Zeus. The warm climate for outdoor activities, the need for preparedness in war, and their lifestyle
caused the Greeks to create competitive sports. Only the elite and military could participate at first, but
later the Games were open to all free Greeks males who had no criminal record. The Greeks emphasized
physical fitness and strength in their education of youth. Therefore, contests in running, jumping, discus
and javelin throwing, boxing and horse and chariot racing were held in individual cities, and the winners
competed every four years at Mount Olympus. Winners were greatly honoured by having olive wreaths
placed on their heads and having poems sung about their
deeds
. Originally these contests were held as
games of friendship, and any wars in progress were halted to allow the games to take place. They also
helped to strengthen bonds among competitors and the different cities represented. The Greeks attached
so much importance to the Games that they calculated time in four- year cycles called "Olympiads"

correct answer to each of the questions .
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be
sensitive
to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of
the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage
. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes
and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:
usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things
that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-
quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new
ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality
appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way,
if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the
manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse

customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the

some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage
dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle

used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one
aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle

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 .
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be
sensitive
to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of
the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage
. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes
and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:
usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things
that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-
quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new
ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality
appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way,
if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the
manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse
. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the
bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In
some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage
dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle
. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and
used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one
aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle
aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.
36.

A.
buy simply-wrapped things
B.
reuse cups
C.

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 .
In 776 B.C, the Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount Olympus to honour the Greek's chief
god, Zeus. The warm climate for outdoor activities, the need for preparedness in war, and their lifestyle
caused the Greeks to create competitive sports. Only the elite and military could participate at first, but
later the Games were open to all free Greeks males who had no criminal record. The Greeks emphasized
physical fitness and strength in their education of youth. Therefore, contests in running, jumping, discus
and javelin throwing, boxing and horse and chariot racing were held in individual cities, and the winners
competed every four years at Mount Olympus. Winners were greatly honoured by having olive wreaths
placed on their heads and having poems sung about their
deeds
. Originally these contests were held as
games of friendship, and any wars in progress were halted to allow the games to take place. They also
helped to strengthen bonds among competitors and the different cities represented. The Greeks attached
so much importance to the Games that they calculated time in four- year cycles called "Olympiads"
dating from 776 B.C. The contests coincided with religious festivities and constituted an all-out effort on
the part of the participants to please the gods. Any who disobeyed the rules were dismissed and seriously
punished. These athlete brought shame not only to themselves, but also to the cities they represented.

In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be

to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of
the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage

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 .
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be
sensitive
to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of
the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage
. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes
and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:
usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things
that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-
quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new
ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality
appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way,
if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the
manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse
. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the
bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In
some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage
dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle
. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and
used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one
aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle
aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.
43.
What is the main topic of the passage?
A.
What people often understand about the term 'recycle'.
B.
How to reduce garbage disposal.
C.
What is involved in the recycling movement.
D.
How to live sensitively to the environment.
44.
Which is described as one of the most industrialized areas?
A.
Middle East
B.
Europe
C.
South America
D.
Asia
45.
What does the word '
sensitive
' in the phrase 'sensitive to the environment' in paragraph 1 mean?
A.
logical
B.
responding
C.
cautious
D.
friendly
46.
People can do the following to reduce waste EXCEPT________.
A.
buy high-quality products
B.
buy fewer hamburgers
C.
buy simply-wrapped things
D.
reuse cups
47.
Why is it a waste when customers buy low-quality products?
A.
Because people will soon throw them away.
B.
Because they have to be repaired many times.
C.
Because customers change their ideas all the time.
D.
Because they produce less energy.
48.
The garbage dumps in some areas have relatively little glass and plastic because________.
A.
people are ordered to return bottles
B.
returned bottles are few
C.
not many bottles are made of glass or plastic
D.
each returned bottle is paid
49.
What are the two things mentioned as examples of recycling?
A.
TV sets and aluminum cans.
B.
Aluminum cans and plastic wrappings.
C.
Hamburger wrappings and spent motor oil.
D.
Aluminum cans and spent motor oil.

The energy used to make a can is________ the energy used to run a color TV set for 3 hours.

more than
B.

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 .
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be
sensitive
to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of
the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage
. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes
and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:
usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things
that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-
quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new
ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality
appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way,
if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the
manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse
. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the
bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In
some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage
dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle
. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and
used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one
aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle
aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.

In 776 B.C, the Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount Olympus to honour the Greek's chief
god, Zeus. The warm climate for outdoor activities, the need for preparedness in war, and their lifestyle
caused the Greeks to create competitive sports. Only the elite and military could participate at first, but
later the Games were open to all free Greeks males who had no criminal record. The Greeks emphasized
physical fitness and strength in their education of youth. Therefore, contests in running, jumping, discus
and javelin throwing, boxing and horse and chariot racing were held in individual cities, and the winners
competed every four years at Mount Olympus. Winners were greatly honoured by having olive wreaths
placed on their heads and having poems sung about their
deeds
. Originally these contests were held as
games of friendship, and any wars in progress were halted to allow the games to take place. They also
helped to strengthen bonds among competitors and the different cities represented. The Greeks attached
so much importance to the Games that they calculated time in four- year cycles called "Olympiads"
dating from 776 B.C. The contests coincided with religious festivities and constituted an all-out effort on

correct answer to each of the questions .
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be

the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage

appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way,
if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the

to burn them. Whatever happened, the collection there was priceless. Many of the library's treasures were

correct answer to each of the questions .
In 776 B.C, the Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount Olympus to honour the Greek's chief god,
Zeus. The warm climate for outdoor activities, the need for preparedness in war, and their lifestyle caused the
Greeks to create competitive sports. Only the elite and military could participate at first, but later the Games
were open to all free Greeks males who had no criminal record. The Greeks emphasized physical fitness and
strength in their education of youth. Therefore, contests in running, jumping, discus and javelin throwing,
boxing and horse and chariot racing were held in individual cities, and the winners competed every four years
at Mount Olympus. Winners were greatly honoured by having olive wreaths placed on their heads and having
poems sung about their
deeds
. Originally these contests were held as games of friendship, and any wars in
progress were halted to allow the games to take place. They also helped to strengthen bonds among
competitors and the different cities represented. The Greeks attached so much importance to the Games that
they calculated time in four- year cycles called "Olympiads" dating from 776 B.C. The contests coincided
with religious festivities and constituted an all-out effort on the part of the participants to please the gods. Any

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 .
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be
sensitive
to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of
the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage
. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes
and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:
usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things
that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-
quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new
ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality
appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way,
if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the
manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse
. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the
bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In
some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage
dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle
. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and
used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one
aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle
aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.
43.
What is the main topic of the passage?
A.
What people often understand about the term 'recycle'.
B.
How to reduce garbage disposal.
C.
How to live sensitively to the environment.

A.

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 .
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be
sensitive
to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of
the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage
. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes
and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:
usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things
that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-
quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new
ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality
appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way,
if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the
manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse
. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the
bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In
some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage
dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle
. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and
used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one
aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle
aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.

caused the Greeks to create competitive sports. Only the elite and military could participate at first, but
later the Games were open to all free Greeks males who had no criminal record. The Greeks emphasized
physical fitness and strength in their education of youth. Therefore, contests in running, jumping, discus

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 .
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be
sensitive
to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of
the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage
. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes
and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:
usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things
that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-
quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new
ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality
appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way,
if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the
manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse
. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the
bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In
some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage
dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle
. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and
used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one
aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle
aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.
43.
What is the main topic of the passage?
A.
How to live sensitively to the environment.
B.
What is involved in the recycling movement.
C.
What people often understand about the term 'recycle'.
D.
How to reduce garbage disposal.
44.
Which is described as one of the most industrialized areas?
A.
Middle East
B.
Asia
C.
South America
D.
Europe
45.
What does the word '
sensitive
' in the phrase 'sensitive to the environment' in paragraph 1 mean?
A.
friendly
B.
responding
C.
cautious
D.
logical
46.
People can do the following to reduce waste EXCEPT________.
A.
buy simply-wrapped things
B.
buy fewer hamburgers
C.
reuse cups
D.
buy high-quality products
47.
Why is it a waste when customers buy low-quality products?
A.
Because they have to be repaired many times.
B.
Because they produce less energy.
C.
Because customers change their ideas all the time.
D.
Because people will soon throw them away.
48.
The garbage dumps in some areas have relatively little glass and plastic because________.
A.
each returned bottle is paid
B.
not many bottles are made of glass or plastic
C.
people are ordered to return bottles
D.
returned bottles are few
49.
What are the two things mentioned as examples of recycling?
A.
TV sets and aluminum cans.
B.
Hamburger wrappings and spent motor oil.
C.
Aluminum cans and spent motor oil.
D.
Aluminum cans and plastic wrappings.

The energy used to make a can is________ the energy used to run a color TV set for 3 hours.

more than
B.
not worth being compared to

as much as

less than

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 .
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be
sensitive
to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of
the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage
. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes
and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:
usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things
that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-
quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new
ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality
appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way,
if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the
manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse
. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the
bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In
some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage
dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle
. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and
used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one
aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle
aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.

In 776 B.C, the Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount Olympus to honour the Greek's chief
god, Zeus. The warm climate for outdoor activities, the need for preparedness in war, and their lifestyle
caused the Greeks to create competitive sports. Only the elite and military could participate at first, but
later the Games were open to all free Greeks males who had no criminal record. The Greeks emphasized
physical fitness and strength in their education of youth. Therefore, contests in running, jumping, discus
and javelin throwing, boxing and horse and chariot racing were held in individual cities, and the winners
competed every four years at Mount Olympus. Winners were greatly honoured by having olive wreaths
placed on their heads and having poems sung about their
deeds
. Originally these contests were held as
games of friendship, and any wars in progress were halted to allow the games to take place. They also
helped to strengthen bonds among competitors and the different cities represented. The Greeks attached
so much importance to the Games that they calculated time in four- year cycles called "Olympiads"
dating from 776 B.C. The contests coincided with religious festivities and constituted an all-out effort on

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 .
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be
sensitive
to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of
the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage
. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes
and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:
usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things
that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-
quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new
ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality
appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way,
if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the
manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse
. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the
bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In
some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage
dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle
. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and
used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one
aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle
aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.

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 .
In 776 B.C, the Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount Olympus to honour the Greek's chief
god, Zeus. The warm climate for outdoor activities, the need for preparedness in war, and their lifestyle
caused the Greeks to create competitive sports. Only the elite and military could participate at first, but
later the Games were open to all free Greeks males who had no criminal record. The Greeks emphasized
physical fitness and strength in their education of youth. Therefore, contests in running, jumping, discus
and javelin throwing, boxing and horse and chariot racing were held in individual cities, and the winners
competed every four years at Mount Olympus. Winners were greatly honoured by having olive wreaths
placed on their heads and having poems sung about their
deeds
. Originally these contests were held as
games of friendship, and any wars in progress were halted to allow the games to take place. They also
helped to strengthen bonds among competitors and the different cities represented. The Greeks attached
so much importance to the Games that they calculated time in four- year cycles called "Olympiads"
dating from 776 B.C. The contests coincided with religious festivities and constituted an all-out effort on
the part of the participants to please the gods. Any who disobeyed the rules were dismissed and seriously
punished. These athlete brought shame not only to themselves, but also to the cities they represented.

In 776 B.C, the Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount Olympus to honour the Greek's chief
god, Zeus. The warm climate for outdoor activities, the need for preparedness in war, and their lifestyle
caused the Greeks to create competitive sports. Only the elite and military could participate at first, but
later the Games were open to all free Greeks males who had no criminal record. The Greeks emphasized
physical fitness and strength in their education of youth. Therefore, contests in running, jumping, discus
and javelin throwing, boxing and horse and chariot racing were held in individual cities, and the winners
competed every four years at Mount Olympus. Winners were greatly honoured by having olive wreaths
placed on their heads and having poems sung about their
deeds
. Originally these contests were held as
games of friendship, and any wars in progress were halted to allow the games to take place. They also
helped to strengthen bonds among competitors and the different cities represented. The Greeks attached
so much importance to the Games that they calculated time in four- year cycles called "Olympiads"
dating from 776 B.C. The contests coincided with religious festivities and constituted an all-out effort on

XII. 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 .
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be
sensitive
to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of
the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage
. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes
and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:
usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things
that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-
quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new
ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality
appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way,
if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the
manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse
. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the
bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In
some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage
dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle
. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and
used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one
aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle
aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.
43.
What is the main topic of the passage?
A.
What people often understand about the term 'recycle'.
B.
What is involved in the recycling movement.
C.
How to live sensitively to the environment.
D.
How to reduce garbage disposal.

A.

B.

caused the Greeks to create competitive sports. Only the elite and military could participate at first, but
later the Games were open to all free Greeks males who had no criminal record. The Greeks emphasized
physical fitness and strength in their education of youth. Therefore, contests in running, jumping, discus

competed every four years at Mount Olympus. Winners were greatly honoured by having olive wreaths
placed on their heads and having poems sung about their
deeds

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 .
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be
sensitive
to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of
the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage
. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes
and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:
usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things
that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-
quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new
ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality
appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way,
if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the
manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse
. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the
bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In
some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage
dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle
. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and
used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one
aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle
aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.
43.
What is the main topic of the passage?
A.
How to reduce garbage disposal.
B.
What people often understand about the term 'recycle'.
C.
What is involved in the recycling movement.
D.
How to live sensitively to the environment.

sensitive

People can do the following to reduce waste EXCEPT________.
A.
buy simply-wrapped things
B.
buy fewer hamburgers
C.
buy high-quality products
D.

47.
Why is it a waste when customers buy low-quality products?
A.
Because people will soon throw them away.
B.
Because customers change their ideas all the time.
C.
Because they have to be repaired many times.
D.
Because they produce less energy.

. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes
and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:
usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things
that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-
quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new
ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality
appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way,
if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the
manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse
. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the
bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In
some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage
dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle
. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and
used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one
aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle
aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.

caused the Greeks to create competitive sports. Only the elite and military could participate at first, but
later the Games were open to all free Greeks males who had no criminal record. The Greeks emphasized
physical fitness and strength in their education of youth. Therefore, contests in running, jumping, discus
and javelin throwing, boxing and horse and chariot racing were held in individual cities, and the winners
competed every four years at Mount Olympus. Winners were greatly honoured by having olive wreaths
placed on their heads and having poems sung about their
deeds
. Originally these contests were held as
games of friendship, and any wars in progress were halted to allow the games to take place. They also
helped to strengthen bonds among competitors and the different cities represented. The Greeks attached
so much importance to the Games that they calculated time in four- year cycles called "Olympiads"
dating from 776 B.C. The contests coincided with religious festivities and constituted an all-out effort on

XI. 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 .
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be
sensitive to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of
the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes
and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:
usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things
that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-
quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new
ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality
appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way,
if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the
manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the
bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In
some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage
dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and
used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one
aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle
aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.
43. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. How to live sensitively to the environment.
B. What people often understand about the term 'recycle'.
C. How to reduce garbage disposal.
D. What is involved in the recycling movement.
44. Which is described as one of the most industrialized areas? A. Middle East B. Asia C. South America D. Europe
45. What does the word 'sensitive' in the phrase 'sensitive to the environment' in paragraph 1 mean? A. responding B. friendly C. cautious D. logical
46. People can do the following to reduce waste EXCEPT________. A. reuse cups
B. buy fewer hamburgers
C. buy high-quality products
D. buy simply-wrapped things
47. Why is it a waste when customers buy low-quality products?
A. Because they produce less energy. B. Because they have to be repaired many times.
C. Because people will soon throw them away. D. Because customers change their ideas all the time.
48. The garbage dumps in some areas have relatively little glass and plastic because________.
A. each returned bottle is paid
B. people are ordered to return bottles
C. returned bottles are few D. not many bottles are made of glass or plastic
49. What are the two things mentioned as examples of recycling?

B. Aluminum cans and spent motor oil.
C. TV sets and aluminum cans.
D. Aluminum cans and plastic wrappings.
50. The energy used to make a can is________ the energy used to run a color TV set for 3 hours. A. more than
B. not worth being compared to C. as much as D. less than THE END

XI. 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 .
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be
sensitive to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of
the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes
and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:
usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things
that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-
quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new
ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality
appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way,
if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the
manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the
bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In
some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage
dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and
used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one
aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle
aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.
36. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. How to reduce garbage disposal.
B. How to live sensitively to the environment.
C. What is involved in the recycling movement.
D. What people often understand about the term 'recycle'.
37. Which is described as one of the most industrialized areas? A. South America B. Asia C. Middle East D. Europe
38. What does the word 'sensitive' in the phrase 'sensitive to the environment' in paragraph 1 mean? A. cautious B. responding C. logical D. friendly

XI. 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 .
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be
sensitive to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of
the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes
and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:
usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things
that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-
quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new
ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality
appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way,
if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the
manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the
bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In
some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage
dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and
used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one
aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle
aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.
36. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. What people often understand about the term 'recycle'.
B. What is involved in the recycling movement.
C. How to live sensitively to the environment.
D. How to reduce garbage disposal.
37. Which is described as one of the most industrialized areas? A. Europe B. Middle East C. South America D. Asia
38. What does the word 'sensitive' in the phrase 'sensitive to the environment' in paragraph 1 mean? A. logical B. responding C. cautious D. friendly
39. People can do the following to reduce waste EXCEPT________.
A. buy simply-wrapped things B. reuse cups
C. buy high-quality products D. buy fewer hamburgers
40. Why is it a waste when customers buy low-quality products?
A. Because they produce less energy.
B. Because they have to be repaired many times.
C. Because customers change their ideas all the time.
D. Because people will soon throw them away.

correct answer to each of the questions .
In 776 B.C, the Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount Olympus to honour the Greek's chief
god, Zeus. The warm climate for outdoor activities, the need for preparedness in war, and their lifestyle
caused the Greeks to create competitive sports. Only the elite and military could participate at first, but
later the Games were open to all free Greeks males who had no criminal record. The Greeks emphasized
physical fitness and strength in their education of youth. Therefore, contests in running, jumping, discus
and javelin throwing, boxing and horse and chariot racing were held in individual cities, and the winners
competed every four years at Mount Olympus. Winners were greatly honoured by having olive wreaths
placed on their heads and having poems sung about their deeds. Originally these contests were held as
games of friendship, and any wars in progress were halted to allow the games to take place. They also
helped to strengthen bonds among competitors and the different cities represented. The Greeks attached

In 776 B.C, the Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount Olympus to honour the Greek's chief
god, Zeus. The warm climate for outdoor activities, the need for preparedness in war, and their lifestyle
caused the Greeks to create competitive sports. Only the elite and military could participate at first, but
later the Games were open to all free Greeks males who had no criminal record. The Greeks emphasized
physical fitness and strength in their education of youth. Therefore, contests in running, jumping, discus
and javelin throwing, boxing and horse and chariot racing were held in individual cities, and the winners
competed every four years at Mount Olympus. Winners were greatly honoured by having olive wreaths
placed on their heads and having poems sung about their deeds. Originally these contests were held as
games of friendship, and any wars in progress were halted to allow the games to take place. They also
helped to strengthen bonds among competitors and the different cities represented. The Greeks attached
so much importance to the Games that they calculated time in four- year cycles called "Olympiads"
dating from 776 B.C. The contests coincided with religious festivities and constituted an all-out effort on
the part of the participants to please the gods. Any who disobeyed the rules were dismissed and seriously

XII. 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 .
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be
sensitive to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of
the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes
and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:
usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things
that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-
quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new
ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality
appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way,
if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the
manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the
bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In
some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage
dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and
used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one
aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle
aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.
43. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. What people often understand about the term 'recycle'.
B. How to reduce garbage disposal.
C. What is involved in the recycling movement.
D. How to live sensitively to the environment.
44. Which is described as one of the most industrialized areas? A. Middle East B. Europe C. South America D. Asia
45. What does the word 'sensitive' in the phrase 'sensitive to the environment' in paragraph 1 mean? A. logical B. responding C. cautious D. friendly
46. People can do the following to reduce waste EXCEPT________.
A. buy high-quality products B. buy fewer hamburgers
C. buy simply-wrapped things D. reuse cups
47. Why is it a waste when customers buy low-quality products?
A. Because people will soon throw them away.
B. Because they have to be repaired many times.
C. Because customers change their ideas all the time.
D. Because they produce less energy.
48. The garbage dumps in some areas have relatively little glass and plastic because________.
A. people are ordered to return bottles
B. returned bottles are few
C. not many bottles are made of glass or plastic
D. each returned bottle is paid
49. What are the two things mentioned as examples of recycling?
A. TV sets and aluminum cans.
B. Aluminum cans and plastic wrappings.
C. Hamburger wrappings and spent motor oil.
D. Aluminum cans and spent motor oil.
50. The energy used to make a can is________ the energy used to run a color TV set for 3 hours. A. more than
B. not worth being compared to C. as much as D. less than THE END

In 776 B.C, the Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount Olympus to honour the Greek's chief
god, Zeus. The warm climate for outdoor activities, the need for preparedness in war, and their lifestyle
caused the Greeks to create competitive sports. Only the elite and military could participate at first, but
later the Games were open to all free Greeks males who had no criminal record. The Greeks emphasized
physical fitness and strength in their education of youth. Therefore, contests in running, jumping, discus
and javelin throwing, boxing and horse and chariot racing were held in individual cities, and the winners
competed every four years at Mount Olympus. Winners were greatly honoured by having olive wreaths
placed on their heads and having poems sung about their deeds. Originally these contests were held as
games of friendship, and any wars in progress were halted to allow the games to take place. They also
helped to strengthen bonds among competitors and the different cities represented. The Greeks attached
so much importance to the Games that they calculated time in four- year cycles called "Olympiads"
dating from 776 B.C. The contests coincided with religious festivities and constituted an all-out effort on
the part of the participants to please the gods. Any who disobeyed the rules were dismissed and seriously

XII. 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 .
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be
sensitive to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of
the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes
and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:
usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things
that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-
quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new
ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality
appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way,
if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the
manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the
bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In
some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage
dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and used
again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one aluminum
can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle aluminum (for new
cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.
43. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. What is involved in the recycling movement.
B. What people often understand about the term 'recycle'.
C. How to reduce garbage disposal.
D. How to live sensitively to the environment.
44. Which is described as one of the most industrialized areas? A. Asia B. Europe C. Middle East D. South America
45. What does the word 'sensitive' in the phrase 'sensitive to the environment' in paragraph 1 mean? A. responding B. logical C. friendly D. cautious
46. People can do the following to reduce waste EXCEPT________.
A. buy simply-wrapped things
B. buy high-quality products C. reuse cups
D. buy fewer hamburgers
47. Why is it a waste when customers buy low-quality products?
A. Because they have to be repaired many times. B. Because people will soon throw them awa
C. Because customers change their ideas all the time. D. Because they produce less energy.
48. The garbage dumps in some areas have relatively little glass and plastic because________.
A. returned bottles are few
B. not many bottles are made of glass or plastic
C. each returned bottle is paid
D. people are ordered to return bottles
49. What are the two things mentioned as examples of recycling?

C. TV sets and aluminum cans.
D. Hamburger wrappings and spent motor oil.
50. The energy used to make a can is________ the energy used to run a color TV set for 3 hours. A. more than
B. not worth being compared to C. as much as D. less than THE END

In 776 B.C, the Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount Olympus to honour the Greek's chief
god, Zeus. The warm climate for outdoor activities, the need for preparedness in war, and their lifestyle
caused the Greeks to create competitive sports. Only the elite and military could participate at first, but
later the Games were open to all free Greeks males who had no criminal record. The Greeks emphasized
physical fitness and strength in their education of youth. Therefore, contests in running, jumping, discus
and javelin throwing, boxing and horse and chariot racing were held in individual cities, and the winners
competed every four years at Mount Olympus. Winners were greatly honoured by having olive wreaths
placed on their heads and having poems sung about their deeds. Originally these contests were held as
games of friendship, and any wars in progress were halted to allow the games to take place. They also
helped to strengthen bonds among competitors and the different cities represented. The Greeks attached
so much importance to the Games that they calculated time in four- year cycles called "Olympiads"
dating from 776 B.C. The contests coincided with religious festivities and constituted an all-out effort on
the part of the participants to please the gods. Any who disobeyed the rules were dismissed and seriously

XII. 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 .
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be
sensitive to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of
the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes
and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:
usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things
that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-
quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new
ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality
appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way,
if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the
manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the
bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In
some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage
dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and
used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one
aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle
aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.
43. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. What is involved in the recycling movement.
B. How to live sensitively to the environment.
C. How to reduce garbage disposal.
D. What people often understand about the term 'recycle'.
44. Which is described as one of the most industrialized areas? A. Middle East B. South America C. Europe D. Asia
45. What does the word 'sensitive' in the phrase 'sensitive to the environment' in paragraph 1 mean? A. logical B. responding C. friendly D. cautious
46. People can do the following to reduce waste EXCEPT________. A. reuse cups
B. buy fewer hamburgers
C. buy simply-wrapped things
D. buy high-quality products
47. Why is it a waste when customers buy low-quality products?
A. Because customers change their ideas all the time. B. Because people will soon throw them aw
C. Because they have to be repaired many times. D. Because they produce less energy.
48. The garbage dumps in some areas have relatively little glass and plastic because________.
A. returned bottles are few
B. people are ordered to return bottles
C. not many bottles are made of glass or plastic
D. each returned bottle is paid

XI. 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 .
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be
sensitive to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of
the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes
and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:
usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things
that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-
quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new
ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality
appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way,
if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the
manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the
bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In
some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage
dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and
used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one
aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle
aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.
36. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. How to live sensitively to the environment.
B. What is involved in the recycling movement.
C. How to reduce garbage disposal.
D. What people often understand about the term 'recycle'.
37. Which is described as one of the most industrialized areas? A. Middle East B. Europe C. South America D. Asia
38. What does the word 'sensitive' in the phrase 'sensitive to the environment' in paragraph 1 mean? A. cautious B. responding C. friendly D. logical
39. People can do the following to reduce waste EXCEPT________.
A. buy fewer hamburgers
B. buy high-quality products
C. buy simply-wrapped things D. reuse cups
40. Why is it a waste when customers buy low-quality products?
A. Because they have to be repaired many times.
B. Because they produce less energy.
C. Because people will soon throw them away.
D. Because customers change their ideas all the time.

XII. 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 .
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be
sensitive to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of
the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes
and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:
usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things
that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-
quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new
ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality
appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way,
if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the
manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the
bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In
some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage
dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and
used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one
aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle
aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.
43. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. What is involved in the recycling movement.
B. How to reduce garbage disposal.
C. How to live sensitively to the environment.
D. What people often understand about the term 'recycle'.
44. Which is described as one of the most industrialized areas? A. Middle East B. South America C. Europe D. Asia
45. What does the word 'sensitive' in the phrase 'sensitive to the environment' in paragraph 1 mean? A. cautious B. logical C. friendly D. responding
46. People can do the following to reduce waste EXCEPT________.
A. buy fewer hamburgers B. reuse cups
C. buy simply-wrapped things
D. buy high-quality products
47. Why is it a waste when customers buy low-quality products?
A. Because customers change their ideas all the time.
B. Because people will soon throw them away.
C. Because they have to be repaired many times.
D. Because they produce less energy.
48. The garbage dumps in some areas have relatively little glass and plastic because________.
A. people are ordered to return bottles
B. each returned bottle is paid
C. returned bottles are few
D. not many bottles are made of glass or plastic
49. What are the two things mentioned as examples of recycling?
A. Aluminum cans and plastic wrappings.
B. TV sets and aluminum cans.
C. Aluminum cans and spent motor oil.
D. Hamburger wrappings and spent motor oil.
50. The energy used to make a can is________ the energy used to run a color TV set for 3 hours.

XII. 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 .
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be
sensitive to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of
the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes
and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:
usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things
that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-
quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new
ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality
appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way,
if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the
manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the
bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In
some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage
dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and
used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one
aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle
aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.
43. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. How to live sensitively to the environment.
B. How to reduce garbage disposal.
C. What people often understand about the term 'recycle'.
D. What is involved in the recycling movement.
44. Which is described as one of the most industrialized areas? A. Europe B. Middle East C. Asia D. South America
45. What does the word 'sensitive' in the phrase 'sensitive to the environment' in paragraph 1 mean? A. friendly B. cautious C. logical D. responding
46. People can do the following to reduce waste EXCEPT________.
A. buy fewer hamburgers
B. buy simply-wrapped things C. reuse cups
D. buy high-quality products
47. Why is it a waste when customers buy low-quality products?
A. Because they have to be repaired many times.
B. Because they produce less energy.
C. Because customers change their ideas all the time.
D. Because people will soon throw them away.
48. The garbage dumps in some areas have relatively little glass and plastic because________.
A. not many bottles are made of glass or plastic
B. each returned bottle is paid
C. returned bottles are few
D. people are ordered to return bottles
49. What are the two things mentioned as examples of recycling?
A. Hamburger wrappings and spent motor oil.
B. TV sets and aluminum cans.
C. Aluminum cans and spent motor oil.
D. Aluminum cans and plastic wrappings.
50. The energy used to make a can is________ the energy used to run a color TV set for 3 hours. A. less than
B. not worth being compared to C. more than D. as much as THE END

god, Zeus. The warm climate for outdoor activities, the need for preparedness in war, and their lifestyle
caused the Greeks to create competitive sports. Only the elite and military could participate at first, but
later the Games were open to all free Greeks males who had no criminal record. The Greeks emphasized
physical fitness and strength in their education of youth. Therefore, contests in running, jumping, discus
and javelin throwing, boxing and horse and chariot racing were held in individual cities, and the winners
competed every four years at Mount Olympus. Winners were greatly honoured by having olive wreaths
placed on their heads and having poems sung about their deeds. Originally these contests were held as
games of friendship, and any wars in progress were halted to allow the games to take place. They also
helped to strengthen bonds among competitors and the different cities represented. The Greeks attached
so much importance to the Games that they calculated time in four- year cycles called "Olympiads"
dating from 776 B.C. The contests coincided with religious festivities and constituted an all-out effort on
the part of the participants to please the gods. Any who disobeyed the rules were dismissed and seriously

XII. 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 .
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be
sensitive to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of
the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes
and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:
usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things
that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-
quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new
ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality
appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way,
if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the
manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the
bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In
some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage
dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and
used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one
aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle
aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.
43. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. How to reduce garbage disposal.
B. What people often understand about the term 'recycle'.
C. What is involved in the recycling movement.
D. How to live sensitively to the environment.
44. Which is described as one of the most industrialized areas? A. South America B. Asia C. Europe D. Middle East
45. What does the word 'sensitive' in the phrase 'sensitive to the environment' in paragraph 1 mean? A. friendly B. logical C. cautious D. responding
46. People can do the following to reduce waste EXCEPT________. A. reuse cups
B. buy fewer hamburgers
C. buy high-quality products
D. buy simply-wrapped things
47. Why is it a waste when customers buy low-quality products?
A. Because they have to be repaired many times. B. Because customers change their ideas all the time.

48. The garbage dumps in some areas have relatively little glass and plastic because________.

B. returned bottles are few
C. not many bottles are made of glass or plastic
D. each returned bottle is paid

In 776 B.C, the Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount Olympus to honour the Greek's chief
god, Zeus. The warm climate for outdoor activities, the need for preparedness in war, and their lifestyle
caused the Greeks to create competitive sports. Only the elite and military could participate at first, but
later the Games were open to all free Greeks males who had no criminal record. The Greeks emphasized
physical fitness and strength in their education of youth. Therefore, contests in running, jumping, discus
and javelin throwing, boxing and horse and chariot racing were held in individual cities, and the winners
competed every four years at Mount Olympus. Winners were greatly honoured by having olive wreaths
placed on their heads and having poems sung about their deeds. Originally these contests were held as
games of friendship, and any wars in progress were halted to allow the games to take place. They also
helped to strengthen bonds among competitors and the different cities represented. The Greeks attached
so much importance to the Games that they calculated time in four- year cycles called "Olympiads"
dating from 776 B.C. The contests coincided with religious festivities and constituted an all-out effort on
the part of the participants to please the gods. Any who disobeyed the rules were dismissed and seriously

XII. 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 .
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be
sensitive to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of
the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes
and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:
usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things
that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-
quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new
ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality
appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way,
if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the
manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the
bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In
some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage
dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and
used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one
aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle
aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.
43. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. How to live sensitively to the environment.
B. What is involved in the recycling movement.
C. How to reduce garbage disposal.
D. What people often understand about the term 'recycle'.
44. Which is described as one of the most industrialized areas? A. Europe B. Asia C. Middle East D. South America
45. What does the word 'sensitive' in the phrase 'sensitive to the environment' in paragraph 1 mean? A. cautious B. responding C. friendly D. logical
46. People can do the following to reduce waste EXCEPT________.
A. buy simply-wrapped things
B. buy fewer hamburgers C. reuse cups
D. buy high-quality products
47. Why is it a waste when customers buy low-quality products?
A. Because they produce less energy. B. Because customers change their ideas all the time.
C. Because people will soon throw them away. D. Because they have to be repaired many times.
48. The garbage dumps in some areas have relatively little glass and plastic because________.
A. people are ordered to return bottles
B. not many bottles are made of glass or plastic
C. returned bottles are few
D. each returned bottle is paid
49. What are the two things mentioned as examples of recycling?
A. Aluminum cans and spent motor oil.
B. TV sets and aluminum cans.
C. Aluminum cans and plastic wrappings.
D. Hamburger wrappings and spent motor oil.
50. The energy used to make a can is________ the energy used to run a color TV set for 3 hours.
