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 6. What does the word "sensitive" mean?

A. logical B. responding C. cautious D. friendly

Question 7. It is a waste when customers buy low-quality 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

Question 10. The word "motto" is closest in meaning 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 home￾schooled. Some educational experts say that the real number is double this estimate, and the ranks of

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 71. The word "arguments" in the third paragraph can be best replaced by "_______".

A. viewpoints B. quarrels C. rows D. discussions

Question 72. According to some experts, the exact number of home-schooled children then must be

_______.

A. 1,700,000 B. 1,900,000 C. 850,000 D. 1,600,000

Question 75. Many parents stop their children from going to school because it is now too _______ for

them.

A. expensive B. explosive C. dangerous D. humorous

Question 76. The number of parents who want to teach their own children in the U.S. is _______.

A. remaining unchanged B. remaining the same C. going down D. going up

Question 77. This estimated number was presented by _______.

A. a governmental office B. the parents

C. home-schooled children D. school teachers

Question 78. The past participle "home-schooled" in the first paragraph is best equivalent to "_______at

home".

A. self-studied B. untaught C. taught D. self-learned

Question 79. The closest synonym of the participle phrase "accounting for" in the second paragraph is

A. counting for B. calculating documents of

C. reasoning D. explaining
