READING 
I. Read the following passage and decide which option A, B, C or D best fits each space: (2.0 
points)
 These days in business, people have to face many challenging questions when designing and 
implementing new projects in undeveloped areas of the countryside. One issue which has to be faced 
is whether it is possible to introduce new technology without destroying the local environment.
 Economic (41) __________and environmental conservation are often seen as natural enemies. 
It is unfortunate that in the past this has often been true, and it has been necessary to choose between 
(42) __________the project or protecting the environment. However, by taking environmental 
considerations (43) __________at an early stage in a project, companies can significantly reduce any 
impacts on local plants and animals.
 For example, in southern Africa, a company called CEL was asked to put up 410 km of a 
power transmission line without disturbing the rare birds which inhabit that area. The project was 
carried out with minimal disturbance last summer. What may surprise many business people is the 
fact that this consideration for local wildlife did not in any way (44) __________down the project. 
Indeed, the necessary advance planning (45) __________with local knowledge and advanced 
technology, meant that the project was actually completed ahead of schedule. CEL was contracted to 
finish the job by October and (46) __________to do so two months earlier.
 CEL is one of those companies which is (47) __________ to the principle of environmental 
conservation. Many other companies have yet to be (48) __________ of the importance of balancing 
the needs of people with those of the environment. However, it may be the only realistic way 
forward.
41. A. development B. progression C. rise D. increase
42. A. running B. dealing C. controlling D. leading
43. A. deeply B. gravely C. seriously D. severely
44. A. turn B. slow C. speed D. hold
 3 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 
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 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 can 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 is to recycle. Spent motor oil cans can be cleaned and used again. Aluminum cans 
are costly 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.
55. What does the passage mainly discuss?
 A. what is involved in the recycling movement. B. what people often understand about the 
term “recycle”.
 C. how to live sensitive to the environment. D. how to reduce garbage disposal.

57. People can do the following to reduce waste EXCEPT__________.
 A. buy high-quality product B. buy fewer hamburgers 
 C. buy simply-wrapped things D. reuse cups
58. Why is it a waste when customers buy low-quality products?
 A. Because they have to be repaired many times B. Because they produce less energy.
 C. Because customers change their ideas all the time. D. Because people will soon throw them away 
59. What is the best description of the process of reuse?
 A. The bottles are collected, washed, returned and filled again.
 B. The bottles are collected, returned filled again and washed.
 C. The bottles are filled again after being returned, collected and washed. 
 D. The bottles are washed, returned, filled again and collected.

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

 A. more than B. less than
 C. as much as D. not worth being compared to
63. The word “precious” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to__________.
 A. natural B. substantial C. first D. invaluable
