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 (51) __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 (52) the project or protecting the environment. However, by taking environmental considerations (53) 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

(54) disturbance last summer. What may surprise many business people is the fact that this consideration for local wildlife did not in any way (55) down the project. Indeed, the necessary advance planning (56) with local knowledge and advanced technology, (57) _ that the project was actually completed ahead of schedule. CEL was contracted to finish the job by October and (58) to do so two months earlier.

CEL is one of those companies which is (59) _ to the principle of environmental conservation. Many other companies have yet to be (60) of the importance of balancing the needs of people with those of the environment. However, it may be the only realistic way forward.

In Britain, the average young person now spends more money on games each year than on going to the cinema or renting videos. But is this necessarily a (61) thing? For years, newspaper reports have been saying that children who spend too much time playing computer games become unsociable, badtempered, even violent as a result. But new research, carried out in both Europe and the USA, suggests that

the opposite may be (62) _ . (63) _, playing some of the more complicated games may help people of all ages to improve certain skills. Researchers claim that this is because the games make the brain work harder in certain ways, like imagining sounds and movements quickly and identifying what they are. The fact that people play the games repeatedly means that they get a lot of practice in these skills which are therefore likely to become highly developed. Social skills may (64) __ _, too. Researchers in Chicago think that fans of first- person shooter games such as “Counterstrike” are better than non-players when it comes to building trust and cooperation, and that this helps them to make good friendships and become strong members of their communities. So rather than giving up computer games, perhaps young people (65) to spend more time on them?

III. Read the passage and choose the correct answer for each question (10points).

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

66. 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.

67. The word “sensitive” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _

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

68. 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

69. Why is it a waste when customers buy low-qualityproducts?

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

70. 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 andcollected.

71. The garbage dumps in some areas have relatively little glass and plasticbecause

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

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

72. The word “practice” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to_

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

A. more than B. less than

C. as much as D. not worth being compared to

74. The word “precious” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to .

The two men walked on the moon for hours . They picked up rocks to bring back to us for study. They dug up dirt to bring back . They set up machines to find out things people wanted to know . Then they climbed back into their moon landing craft .
