Choose the item among A, B, C, or D that best answers the question about the passage:
The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) encourages and coordinates sound environmental practices
throughout the world. It grapples with ways to approach environmental problems on an international level, provides expertise
to member countries, monitors environmental conditions worldwide, develops environmental standards, and recommends
alternative energy sources. UNEP's work is guided by principles adopted at the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and
Development, also known as the Earth Summit. The summit, which took place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was the largest such
conference ever held, attracting with more than 100 national leaders.
The major theme of the 1992 Earth Summit was sustainable economic development, meaning development that does not
use up or destroy so many of the world's natural resources that it cannot be sustained over time. The meeting produced an
overall plan, called Agenda 21, in which large developing countries promised to develop their industries with an eye to
protecting the environment. Industrialized countries pledged to help them do that. The Earth Summit also produced major
treaties on biodiversity and global warming, although the latter treaty lacked enforcement provisions.
In 2002, UNEP sponsored the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, South Africa. This
conference sought to help developing countries undergo industrialization without harming the environment. But progress on
environmental issues is slow because proposed solutions continue to pit the interests of poorer developing countries against
1

those of richer industrialized nations. Most developing countries cannot afford to build an environmentally sound industrial
base, while industrialized countries are unwilling to absorb the entire cost of environmental reform.

B. Proposed solutions continue to pit the interests of poorer developing countries against those of richer industrialized
nations.

Question 22: What are the aims of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP)?
A. To encourage developing countries to build an environmentally sound industrial base.
B. To help developing countries undergo industrialization without harming the environment.
C. To encourage and coordinate sound environmental practices throughout the world.
D. To encourage developed countries to cut wastes.
Question 23: What are the major themes of the Earth Summit?
A. All are correct.
B. It produced major treaties on biodiversity and global warming.
C. Development does not use up or destroy so many of the world’s natural resources that it cannot be sustained over
time.

Choose the item among A, B, C, or D that best answers the question about the passage:
The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) encourages and coordinates sound environmental practices
throughout the world. It grapples with ways to approach environmental problems on an international level, provides expertise
to member countries, monitors environmental conditions worldwide, develops environmental standards, and recommends
alternative energy sources. UNEP's work is guided by principles adopted at the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and
Development, also known as the Earth Summit. The summit, which took place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was the largest such

conference ever held, attracting with more than 100 national leaders.
The major theme of the 1992 Earth Summit was sustainable economic development, meaning development that does not
use up or destroy so many of the world's natural resources that it cannot be sustained over time. The meeting produced an
overall plan, called Agenda 21, in which large developing countries promised to develop their industries with an eye to
protecting the environment. Industrialized countries pledged to help them do that. The Earth Summit also produced major
treaties on biodiversity and global warming, although the latter treaty lacked enforcement provisions.
In 2002, UNEP sponsored the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, South Africa. This
conference sought to help developing countries undergo industrialization without harming the environment. But progress on
environmental issues is slow because proposed solutions continue to pit the interests of poorer developing countries against
those of richer industrialized nations. Most developing countries cannot afford to build an environmentally sound industrial
base, while industrialized countries are unwilling to absorb the entire cost of environmental reform.
