XI 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

In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe, recycling is the 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 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

36 What is the main topic of the passage?

A What people often understand about the term 'recycle'

B How to reduce garbage disposal

C How to live sensitively to the environment

D What is involved in the recycling movement

37 Which is described as one of the most industrialized areas?

A South America B Middle East C Europe D Asia

38 What does the word 'sensitive' in the phrase 'sensitive to the environment' in paragraph 1 mean?

39 People can do the following to reduce waste EXCEPT

A buy simply-wrapped things B reuse cups

40 Why is it a waste when customers buy low-quality products?

A Because they produce less energy

B Because they have to be repaired many times

C Because people will soon throw them away

D Because customers change their ideas all the time

41 The garbage dumps in some areas have relatively little glass and plastic because

A each returned bottle is paid B people are ordered to return bottles

C returned bottles are few D not many bottles are made of glass or plastic

42 What are the two things mentioned as examples of recycling?

A TV sets and aluminum cans B Aluminum cans and plastic wrappings

C Aluminum cans and spent motor oil D Hamburger wrappings and spent motor oil

43 The energy used to make a can is the energy used to run a color TV set for 3 hours
