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
When we are young, we learn that tigers and sharks are dangerous animals. We might be scared of them
because they are big and powerful. As we get older, however, we learn that sometimes the most dangerous
animals are also the smallest animals. In fact, the animal that kills the most people every year is one that you
have probably killed yourself many times: the mosquito.
While it may seem that all mosquitoes are biters, this is not actually the case. Male mosquitoes eat plant
nectar. On the other hand, female mosquitoes feed on animal blood. They need this blood to live and produce
eggs. When a female mosquito bites a human being, it transmits a small amount of saliva into the blood. This
saliva may or may not contain a deadly disease. The result of the bite can be as minor as an itchy bump or as
serious as death.
Because a mosquito can bite many people in the course of its life, it can carry diseases from one person
to another very easily. Two of the most deadly diseases carried by mosquitoes are malaria and yellow fever.
More than 700 million people become sick from these diseases every year. At least 2 million of these people
will die from these diseases.
Many scientists are working on safer and better ways to kill mosquitoes, but so far, there is no sure way to
protect everyone in the world from their deadly bites. Mosquito nets can be placed over beds to protect people
against being bitten. These nets help people stay safe at night, but they do not kill any mosquitoes. Mosquitoes
have many natural enemies like bats, birds, dragonflies, and certain kinds of fish. Bringing more of these
animals into places where mosquitoes live might help to cut down the amount of mosquitoes in that area. This
is a natural solution, but it does not always work very well. Mosquitoes can also be killed with poisons or
sprays. Even though these sprays kill mosquitoes, they may also harm other plants or animals.
Although mosquitoes may not seem as scary as larger, more powerful animals, they are far more
dangerous to human beings. But things are changing. It is highly likely that one day scientists will find a way to
keep everyone safe from mosquitoes and the diseases they carry.

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
Plastic bags are used by everybody. Even though they are one of the modern conveniences that
we seem to be unable to do without, they are responsible for causing pollution, killing wildlife, and using
up the precious resources of the Earth. But, most of us are blissfully unaware of the repercussions that are
occurring and will take place in the future because of the plastic bags.
Every once in a while, the government passes out an order banning store owners from providing
plastic bags to customers for carrying their purchases, with little lasting effect. Plastic bags are very popular
because they are cheap, strong, lightweight, functional, as well as a hygienic means of carrying food as well as
other goods. About a hundred billion plastic bags are used every year in the U.S. alone.When one considers the
huge economies and populations of India, China, Europe, and other parts of the world, the numbers can be
staggering. The problem is further exacerbated by the developed countries shipping off their plastic waste to
developing countries like India.
Once they are used, most bags go into landfills. Each year, more and more bags are ending up
littering the environment. Once they become litter, plastic bags find their way into our waterways, parks,
beaches, and streets. If they are burned, they infuse the air with toxic fumes. About 100,000 animals are
killed every year due to these bags. Many animals ingest plastic bags, mistaking them for food, and therefore,
die. And worse, the ingested plastic bag remains intact even after the death and decomposition of the animal.
Thus, it lies around in the landscape where another victim may ingest it. One of the worst environmental effects is
that they are non-biodegradable. The decomposition takes about 400 years. No one will live so long to
witness the decomposition of plastic!
Petroleum products are diminishing and getting more expensive by the day, since we have used this
non-renewable resource increasingly. To make plastic, about 60-100 million barrels of oil are needed every
year around the world.Petroleum is vital for our modern way of life. It is necessary for our energy
requirements - for our factories, transportation, heating, lighting, and so on. Without viable alternative
sources of energy yet on the horizon, if the supply of petroleum were to be turned off, it would lead to
practically the entire world grinding to a halt.
So, what can be done? A tote bag can make a good substitute for carrying groceries and the shopping. You
can keep the bag with the cashier, and then put your purchases into it instead of the usual plastic bag. Recycling
the bags you already have is another good idea. These can come into use for various purposes, like holding

your garbage, instead of purchasing new ones. While governments may be working out ways to lessen the
impact of plastic bags on the environment; however, each of us should shoulder some of the responsibility for
this problem, which ultimately harms us. For a clean and green environment, try to use alternatives to plastic
whenever and wherever possible. Cut down your use of plastic, and do your bit to save our planet.
