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 39 to 43.
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.

A. The history of plastic and its usefulness
B. Materials that plastic is made of
C. Plastic: effects and solutions to the problem

A. They are a danger to marine life such as whales, turtles and so on.
B. They are very convenient for people to use for different purposes.
C. people reuse plastic objects before recycling them.
D. plastics can exist for a long time without decomposing.

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 44 to 50.
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialised areas, North America and
Europe, recycling is big news. People are talking about it, practising 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, 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 is being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be
cleaned and used again. Aluminium cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of
energy to make one aluminium can as it does to run a colour TV set for three hours. When people
collect and recycle aluminium (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious
4
resources.

Question 46. 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.
Question 47. The word "it" in the paragraph refers to ______.
A. recycling B. big news
C. industrialised areas D. world
Question 48. The word "necessary" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. crucial B. ordinate C. nonpareil D. prerequisite
