X. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. Write A, B, C or D to
indicate your answers on the answer sheet.
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".

/>
3

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.
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.
1. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. How to reduce garbage disposal.
B. What people often understand about the term 'recycle'.

2. Which is described as one of the most industrialized areas?
A. Europe
B. Asia

D. South America
3. What does the word 'sensitive' in the phrase 'sensitive to the environment' mean?

A. cautious

C. friendly
D. responding
4. People can do the following to reduce waste EXCEPT ……….
A. buy high-quality products.
B. buy simply-wrapped things.
C. reuse cups.
D. buy hamburgers.
5. Why is it a waste if 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.
6. What best describes the process of reuse?
A. The bottles are washed, collected, returned and filled again.
B. The bottles are filled again after being returned, collected and washed.
C. The bottles are washed, returned, filled again and collected.
D. The bottles are collected, returned, filled again and washed.
7. The garbage dumps in some areas have relatively little glass and plastic because ……

set for 3 hours.
A. as much as
B. less than
C. more than D. not worth being compared to
9. The word 'precious' is closest in meaning to ……….
A. natural

B. substantial C. first
D. invaluable
