Part 2 : Read the following passage and answer the questions.
The world's oceans are so vast that they can cope with the present
levels of pollution. However, little is known about the long-term effects of
such slow poisoning. The most serious problem of modern time is that man
is destroying the earth's natural resources and transforming huge areas
into waste land. As a result, it is becoming extremely difficult to grow
enough to feed the world's rapidly increasing population. A way of

protecting all wild life on the earth must also be found as many species are
in danger of disappearing completely from the face of the earth. The
smoke in the atmosphere, for example, is increasing so much that the
amount of sunlight has been reduced in many cities. Man's whole
environment is being changed in a serious way.

Part 3: Read the passage and decide which is the best answer.
Circle the letter A, B, C or
D next to the word you choose.
Paper is named for papyrus, a reed like plant used by ancient
Egyptians as writing material more than 5000 years ago. The Chinese
invented the paper that we use 2000 years ago.
A piece of paper is really made up of tiny fibers, unlike a piece of
material. The fibers used in paper, however, are plant fibers, and there are

millions of them in one sheet. In addition to the plant fiber, dyes and
additives such as resin may be used. Dyes can make the paper different
colors; resin may add weight and texture.
Where do these fibers come from ? The majority of paper is made
from the plant fiber that comes from trees. Millions are cut down, but new
trees are planted in their place. Paper may be also made from things like
old rags or pieces of cloth. Wastepaper, paper that has been made and
used, can be turned into recycled paper. This recycling process saves
forest, energy and reduces air and water pollution.
1. According to the passage, the paper that we use was first invented by
A. the Chinese B. the Egyptians C. ancient cultures D.
foresters
2. What is the main ingredient in most paper ?
A. resin B. cardboard C. plant fiber D.
papyrus
3. According to the passage, the primary source of the plant fiber used in
paper is
A. rags B. trees C. fabric D.
wastepaper
4. According to the passage, recycling paper is
A. bad for the environment C. good for the
environment
B. wasteful D. economical
5. According to the passage, recycling paper does all of the following
EXCEPT
A. reduce the need for ink C. save energy
