VI. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet
to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions from 46 to 55.
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 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 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.
Question 46: 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.
Question 47: Which is described as one of the most industrialized areas?

A. buy high-quality product
B. buy simply-wrapped things
C. reuse cups
D. buy fewer hamburgers
Question 50: Why is it a waste and 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 51: What does it mean 'Customers can vote with their wallets'?
A. they can choose the cheapest products
B. they can cast a lot to praise a producer.
C. they can ask people to choose products with less packaging
D. they can tell the producers which products are good for environment by buying them.

VII. 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 56 to 65.
A rather surprising geographical feature of Antarctica is that a huge freshwater lake,
one of the world's largest and deepest, lies hidden there under four kilometers of ice.
Now known as Lake Vostok, this huge body of water is located under the ice block that
comprises Antarctica. The lake is able to exist in its unfrozen state beneath this block of
ice because its waters are warmed by geothermal heat from the earth's core. The thick
glacier above Lake Vostok actually insulates it from the frigid temperatures on the
surface.
The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while a research team was conducting an
aerial survey of the area. Radio waves from the survey equipment penetrated the ice and
revealed a body of water of indeterminate size. It was not until much more recently that
data collected by satellite made scientists aware of the tremendous size of the lake; the
satellite-borne radar detected an extremely flat region where the ice remains level
because it is floating on the water of the lake.
The discovery of such a huge freshwater lake trapped under Antarctica is of interest to
the scientific community because of the potential that the lake contains ancient microbes
that have survived for thousands upon thousands of years, unaffected by factors such as
nuclear fallout and elevated ultraviolet light that have affected organisms in more
exposed areas. The downside of the discovery, however, lies in the difficulty of
conducting research on the lake in such a harsh climate and in the problems associated
with obtaining uncontaminated samples from the lake without actually exposing the lake

to contamination. Scientists are looking for possible ways to accomplish this.
Question 56: The word "hidden" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to_______.
A. undrinkable

Question 59: All of the following are true about the 1970 survey of Antarctica EXCEPT
that it_______.
A. was conducted by air
B. made use of radio waves
C. could not determine the lake's exact size
D. was controlled by a satellite
Question 60: It can be inferred from the passage that the ice would not be flat
if________.
A. there were no lake underneath
B. the lake were not so big
C. Antarctica were not so cold
D. radio waves were not used
Question 61: The word "microbes" in paragraph 3 could best be replaced by which of

A. further discoveries on the surface of Antarctica
