PART 2: 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 (from 26 to 30).
Music influences people in different ways or the same person differently at different times. Music
may seem to influence people differently. That is because people can react differently to music. We are
able to apply a choosing process to the music we hear. If someone hates jazz, then a jazz piece with a
positive effect will probably not make him feel good. A happy song might appear to make an angry
person angrier, yet it is not the music itself that is creating the anger; rather it is the positive effect of
the music. The angry person does not want to accept the song’s happy feeling: it points out his already
existing anger and makes that anger come to the surface. When a piece of music is played and we are
listening to it, our body, mind, and feelings are being affected. The musicians of ancient cultures such
as China, India, Turkey, and Greece understood the effects of music. In fact, Pathagoras, in ancient
Greece, introduced a whole science that concerned them. Because the musicians of these ancient
cultures understood these effects, they created music that was positive, uplifting, and
beneficial. Once the effects of music are better understood, the next step is to gain a better
understanding of the music around us, and what effect it is actually having.

PART 1: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 (from 9 to 12).
PLASTIC AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Plastic is a material we use every day. The first plastics were made more than 100 years ago
from parts of plants. Plastics are now made from oil, coal and natural gas. We are using up these
things so fast that the Earth’s supplies may run out. Because of this, scientists are investigating
new ideas for making plastics from plants such as sweet potato, bamboo and flax.
Things made from plastic can be useful for people but bad for the planet. Some plastics can last
for a long time without wearing out, and can be difficult to get rid of when they are not needed.
They can remain in rubbish dumps called landfill sites for hundreds of years. Landfills can be
smelly, ugly, and harmful to our planet.
Recycling is a good way to get rid of unwanted plastics. Recycled waste materials can be used
again to make new products. This can be difficult as different types of plastic need to be recycled
in different ways. Some kinds of plastics can be melted down and used to make new things such
as bags and bottles. Others can be made into fibres (strands of material) for clothing.
Another way to protect the environment is to use canvas bags for shopping rather than plastic
ones. A lot of plastic objects can also be reused. Plastic bottles can be refilled many times, rather
than throwing them away once they are empty. Unwanted plastic goods such as CDs and toys
can be sold or given away to charity shops.

Question 9. According to the passage, things made from plastic are bad for our environment

A. they are a danger to marine life such as whales, turtles and so on.
B. they are very convenient for people to use in different purposes.
C. people reuse plastic objects before recycling them.

B. Plastics and plastic objects can be thrown away to tidy the room.
C. Plastics and plastic objects can be recycled or reused.
