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
Most journeys in Britain and the US are made by road Some of these are made on public transport but most are by private car
In Britain many people rely on their cars for daily local activities, e.g getting to work, doing the shopping, and visiting friends People living in urban areas may use buses, trains or, in London, the Underground, to get to city centres, mainly because traffic is often heavy and it is difficult to find anywhere to park a car Some places in the country may have a bus only two or three times a week so people living there have no choice but to rely on their cars
In the US large cities have good public transportation systems The El railroad in Chicago and the underground systems of New York, Boston, San Francisco and Washington, DC are heavily used Elsewhere, most Americans prefer to use their cars Families often have two cars and, outside major cities, have to drive fairly long distances to schools, offices, shops, banks, etc Many college and even high-school students have their own cars
Long-distance travel in Britain is also mainly by road, though railways link most towns and cities
Most places are linked by motorways or other fast roads and many people prefer to drive at their own convenience rather than use a train, even though they may get stuck in a traffic jam Long-distance coach/
bus services are usually a cheaper alternative to trains, but they take longer and may be less comfortable Some long-distance travel, especially that undertaken for business reasons, may be by air There are regular flights between regional airports, as well as to and from London A lot of freight is also distributed
by road, though heavier items and raw materials often go by rail
In the US much long-distance travel is by air America has two main long-distance bus companies, Greyhound and Trailways Amtrak, the national network, provides rail services for passengers Private railway companies such as Union Pacific now carry only freight, though in fact over 70% of freight goes
by road
The main problems associated with road transport in both Britain and the US are traffic congestion and pollution It is predicted that the number of cars on British roads will increase by a third within a few years, making both these problems worse The British government would like more people to use public transport, but so far they have had little success in persuading people to give up their cars or to share rides with neighbours Most people say that public transport is simply not good enough Americans too have resisted government requests to share cars because it is less convenient and restricts their freedom Petrol/
gasoline is relatively cheap in the US and outside the major cities public transport is bad, so they see no
reason to use their cars less

E-waste is being produced on a scale never seen before Computers and other electronic equipment
become obsolete in just a few years, leaving customers with little choice but to buy newer ones to keep
up Millions of tons of computers, TVs, smartphones, and other equipment are discarded each year In most countries, all this waste ends up in landfills, where it poisons the environment - e-waste contains many toxic substances such as lead, mercury, and arsenic that leak into the ground
Recycling is the ideal solution to the problem E-waste contains significant amounts of valuable metals like gold and silver that make it attractive to recycle In theory, recycling gold from old computers
is more efficient - and less environmentally destructive - than digging it from the earth The problem is that a large percentage of e-waste dropped off for recycling in wealthy countries is sold and diverted to the developing world, posing an increasing threat to the health of the people there
To address the problem of the international trade in e-waste, 170 nations signed the 1989 Basel
Convention, an agreement requiring that developed nations notify developing nations of hazardous waste
Trang 9shipments coming into their countries Then, in 1995 the Basel Convention was modified to ban hazardous waste shipments to poor countries completely Although the ban hasn’t taken effect the European Union, where recycling infrastructure is well developed, has already written it into their laws One law holds manufacturers responsible for the safe disposal of electronics they produce
Companies like Creative Recycling Systems in Florida, the USA, are hoping to profit from clean e-waste recycling The key to their business is a huge, building-size machine able to separate electronic products into their component materials As the machine’s steel teeth break up e-waste, all the toxic dust is removed from the process This machine can handle some 70,000 tons of electronics a year Although this
is only a fraction of the tota1, it wouldn’t take many more machines like this to process the entire USA’s output of high-tech trash
Unfortunately, under current policies, domestic processing of e-waste is not compulsory, and while shipping waste abroad is ethically questionable, it is still more profitable than processing it safely in the USA Creative Recycling Systems is hoping that the US government will soon create laws deterring people from sending e-waste overseas
(Adapted from "Reading explorer 4” by Paul MacIntyre and Nancy Hubley )
43: Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A Waste Recycling: A Storm in a Teacup B Domestic Recycling: Pros and Cons
C E-waste - An Export Commodity of the Future D E-waste - A Mess to Clear up
44: The word “obsolete” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _.
45: As stated in paragraph 2, a large percentage of e-waste meant for recycling in the developed countries _.
A is buried deep in the soil at landfills B contains all valuable metals except gold
C is later recycled in local factories D is eventually sent to developing nations
46: The word “notify" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _.
47: The word ‘it’ in paragraph 3 refers to _.
48: According to the European Union’s law, electronics manufacturers are required to _.
A upgrade their recycling infrastructure regularly
B sell their e-waste to developed nations only
C sign the Basel Convention
D take responsibility for disposing of their products safely
49: Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the passage?
A The USA’s total e-waste output amounts to 70,000 tons per year
B Creative Recycling Systems has made a fortune from their recycling machine
C The Basel Convention originally banned the import of high-tech trash into European countries
D Shipping e-waste abroad yields greater profit than recycling it safely in the USA

B Legislative action is fundamental to solving the problem of e-waste effectively
C Strict laws against sending e-waste abroad have recently been upheld in Florida
