In the world today, particular 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 lowquality 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 highquality 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 stores. The manufacturers of the drinks collect 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 worlds precious resources. Question 6. What does the word sensitive mean? A. logical B. responding C. cautious D. friendly Question 7. It is a waste when customers buy lowquality products because _______. A. they are very cheap B. they will soon throw them away C. they have to be repaired many times D. customers always change their idea y e u tie n g a n h 1 2 3 .c o m2.

problems inside the classroom Teacher shortages and lack of funding mean that, in many schools, one teacher is responsible for thirty or forty students The children are, therefore, deprived of the attention they need Escalating classroom violence has also motivated some parents to remove their children from school
Although there have been a lot of arguments for and against it, home-schooling in the U.S has
become a multi-million dollar industry, and it is growing bigger and bigger There are now plenty of websites, support groups, and conventions that help parents protect their rights and enable them to learn more about educating their children Though once it was the only choice for troubled children, home-schooling today is an accepted alternative to an educational system that many believe is failing

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 throw-away 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 stores The manufacturers of the drinks collect 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 throw-away 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

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
Increasing numbers of parents in the U.S are choosing to teach their children at home In fact,
the U.S Department of Education has estimated that in 1999, about 850,000 children were being schooled Some educational experts say that the real number is double this estimate, and the ranks of
home-home-schooled children seem to be growing at the average rate of about eleven percent every year
At one time, there was a theory accounting for home-schooling: it was traditionally used for
students who could not attend school because of behavioral or learning difficulties Today, however, more parents are taking on the responsibility of educating their own children at home due to their
dissatisfaction with the educational system Many parents are unhappy about class size, as well as
problems inside the classroom Teacher shortages and lack of funding mean that, in many schools, one teacher is responsible for thirty or forty students The children are, therefore, deprived of the attention they need Escalating classroom violence has also motivated some parents to remove their children from school
Although there have been a lot of arguments for and against it, home-schooling in the U.S has
become a multi-million dollar industry, and it is growing bigger and bigger There are now plenty of websites, support groups, and conventions that help parents protect their rights and enable them to learn more about educating their children Though once it was the only choice for troubled children, home-schooling today is an accepted alternative to an educational system that many believe is failing

home"
A. self-learned B. untaught C. taught D. self-studied
Question 69 The closest synonym of the participle phrase "accounting for" in the second paragraph is
" _"
A. calculating documents of B. counting for
Question 70 The number of parents who want to teach their own children in the U.S is _
A. remaining unchanged B. going down C. remaining the same D. going up

A. rows B. discussions C. viewpoints D. quarrels
Question 72 The noun "dissatisfaction" in the second paragraph is best equivalent to " _"

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
Increasing numbers of parents in the U.S are choosing to teach their children at home In fact,
the U.S Department of Education has estimated that in 1999, about 850,000 children were being schooled Some educational experts say that the real number is double this estimate, and the ranks of
home-home-schooled children seem to be growing at the average rate of about eleven percent every year
At one time, there was a theory accounting for home-schooling: it was traditionally used for
students who could not attend school because of behavioral or learning difficulties Today, however, more parents are taking on the responsibility of educating their own children at home due to their
dissatisfaction with the educational system Many parents are unhappy about class size, as well as
problems inside the classroom Teacher shortages and lack of funding mean that, in many schools, one teacher is responsible for thirty or forty students The children are, therefore, deprived of the attention they need Escalating classroom violence has also motivated some parents to remove their children from school
Although there have been a lot of arguments for and against it, home-schooling in the U.S has
become a multi-million dollar industry, and it is growing bigger and bigger There are now plenty of websites, support groups, and conventions that help parents protect their rights and enable them to learn more about educating their children Though once it was the only choice for troubled children, home-schooling today is an accepted alternative to an educational system that many believe is failing
Question 34 The closest synonym of the participle phrase "accounting for" in the second paragraph is
A. taught B. untaught C. self-learned D. self-studied
Question 36 Many parents stop their children from going to school because it is now too _ for

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, particular 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 throw-away 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 stores The manufacturers of the drinks collect 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 throw-away 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
Question 46 What does the word "sensitive" mean?
A. cautious B. logical C. friendly D. responding
Question 47 Which area is considered one of the most industrialized?
A. Europe B. Asia C. South America D. Middle East
Question 48 The word "practice" is closest in meaning to _
A. deed B. belief C. training D. exercise
Question 49 Garbage dumps in some areas have relatively little glass and plastic because _
A. people are ordered to return bottles B. few bottles are made of glass or plastic
C. returned bottles are few D. each returned bottle is paid
Question 50 What are the two things mentioned as examples of recycling?
A. Aluminum cans and plastic wrappings B. Aluminum cans and spent motor oil
C. TV sets and aluminum cans D. Hamburger wrappings and spent motor oil

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 throw-away 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 stores The manufacturers of the drinks collect 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 throw-away 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

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
Increasing numbers of parents in the U.S are choosing to teach their children at home In fact,
the U.S Department of Education has estimated that in 1999, about 850,000 children were being schooled Some educational experts say that the real number is double this estimate, and the ranks of
home-home-schooled children seem to be growing at the average rate of about eleven percent every year
At one time, there was a theory accounting for home-schooling: it was traditionally used for
students who could not attend school because of behavioral or learning difficulties Today, however, more parents are taking on the responsibility of educating their own children at home due to their
dissatisfaction with the educational system Many parents are unhappy about class size, as well as
problems inside the classroom Teacher shortages and lack of funding mean that, in many schools, one teacher is responsible for thirty or forty students The children are, therefore, deprived of the attention they need Escalating classroom violence has also motivated some parents to remove their children from school
Although there have been a lot of arguments for and against it, home-schooling in the U.S has
become a multi-million dollar industry, and it is growing bigger and bigger There are now plenty of websites, support groups, and conventions that help parents protect their rights and enable them to learn more about educating their children Though once it was the only choice for troubled children, home-schooling today is an accepted alternative to an educational system that many believe is failing
