V. READING COMPREHENSION (10 PTS) PASSAGE A (5PTS)
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 big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be
sensitive to the environment. Recycling means finding was to use products a second time. The motto
of the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, and 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. 5
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 is 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.
51. What is the main topic of the passage?

B. how to live sensitively to the environment.

60. The energy used to make a can is _______ the energy used to run a color TV set for 3 hours. A. more than
B. less than C. not worth being compared to D. as much as Đáp án câu 60:D Passage B (5 PTS)
Since the world has become industialised, there has been an increase in the number of animal species
that have either become extinct or have neared extinction. Bengal tigers, for example, which once
roared the jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300 and by the year 2025, their
population is estimated to be down to zero. What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that
this extinction will have been caused almost entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are
not interested in material gain but in personal gratification. This is an example of the callousness that
is part of what is causing the problem of extinction. Animals like the Bengal tiger, as well as other
endangered species, are a valuable part of the world’s ecosystem. International laws protecting these
animals must be enacted to ensure their survival, and the survival of our planet.
Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways. Some
countries, in order to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animal reserves.
They, then charge admission to help defray the cost of maintaining the parks, and they often must also
depend on world organisations for support. With the money they get, they can invest equipments and
patrols to protect the animals. Another solution that is an attempt to stem the tide of animal extinction
is an international boycott of products made from endangered species. This seems fairly effective, but
will not by itself, prevent animals from being hunted and killed.
