Green Farming

When we think of carbon emissions, most of us think of vehicles and factories. But actually, a lot of
carbon emissions come from farming. However, in (31)________ years, farmers around the world have
started to use green farming practices in order to reduce the negative effects of their farm on the
environment. So how do they do this?

There are lots of different ways farmers can make their farms greener. For example, they can grow a
variety of different crops based on the needs of the locals instead (32)________ growing large amounts
of one crop. This means farmers don’t need to transport their crops very far and that could also lead to
less food (33) ________ .

Farmers can also grow different crops in each field every year. This technique helps to keep the land
healthy and reduces the need to use chemicals on the crops. Of course, some farmers use organic
methods of growing on their farms, too, and farm without the use of any man-made chemicals.
Another way farmers can make their farm greener is to plant some trees. This protects the farm from
floods and provides a home for birds and insects. As a tree grows it takes in carbon dioxide, so planting
lots of trees will remove carbon from the air, making the farm less (34)________ to the environment
overall! Isn’t that great? And what’s more is that Vietnamese farmers (35)________ green practices for
some time now to reduce Vietnam's carbon footprint!

B. Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions.

Super Hurricanes

In September 2022, Hurricane Ian hit Cuba and the state of Florida in the USA. It was a terrible storm
that brought strong winds with speeds of up to 250 km per hour. It was the worst hurricane to hit the
area since 1935.

This terrible storm destroyed many homes and businesses, roads and paths and blew down lots of trees
which fell onto buildings. The bad weather left 2.6 million people without power or drinking water in
their homes. One of the main problems, though, was the rising water levels. Because of this, thousands
of people couldn’t leave their homes while rescue workers tried to provide help.

However, Hurricane Ian isn’t the only hurricane to hit Florida. It’s not unusual for the area to experience
hurricanes at that time of year. But what is worrying is that these hurricanes are happening more often
and they are becoming more powerful. According to experts, the main reason for this is global warming.

Global warming is increasing global temperatures and this is causing changes to the climate. This allows
hurricanes to become stronger over the warmer ocean and to move more slowly meaning that wind
speeds have time to increase and become more extreme. This means areas need to go even further
when preparing for future hurricanes in order to protect themselves and the local wildlife from these
events. Global warming is not only a threat to animals and the environment, but also a very real threat
to our lives.

36. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?

A. Florida was not ready for this weather event.

B. Hurricane Ian caused a lot of destruction.

C. There was no warning about Hurricane Ian.

D. Rescue workers did not do their jobs well.

37. According to the passage, what was the main issue that came from the flooding?

A. Rescue workers couldn’t reach people.

B. There were heavy damages to buildings.

C. It trapped a lot of people in their homes.

D. People were without power for a long time.

38. What is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Hurricanes happen regularly in Florida.

B. Global warming is creating more extreme weather.

C. Ocean temperatures have increased.

D. Powerful hurricanes move more quickly.

39. What can be inferred according to the passage?

A. Future hurricanes are likely to cause more damage.

B. Hurricane Ian is the most powerful hurricane to hit Florida

C. Hurricanes always lead to flooding.

D. Global warming is the only reason for hurricanes.

40. Which phrase is closest in meaning to go even further in the last paragraph?

A. get around

B. make an attempt

C. do a lot more

D. stay away
C. Read the following passage. For each of the questions from 41-45, write T if the statement is TRUE
and F if the statement is FALSE.

Gavin’s Green Blog

Hi everyone! Today I want to talk about upcycling. I first heard of upcycling last week when we learnt
about it at school. But now, I’ve just completed my first upcycling project. So what is upcycling? Well, it’s
another way of making use of old materials and items – just like recycling.

In recycling, we use old things to make new things, but in recycling, we keep the thing as it was, but give
it a new purpose or a new appearance without changing it too much. The benefit of upcycling over
recycling is that it uses less energy. For example, to recycle a glass jar, we have to heat up the glass until
it melts, then make it into a new shape. But to upcycle a glass jar, we can wash it, make a hole in the lid
and put a straw in it to create a cool reusable cup.

Upcycling also allows us to be creative; we can think about what to do with different items to make
them useful. The possibilities are endless! We can turn a food tin into a plant pot, turn an old pair of
jeans into a bag or give an old piece of furniture a makeover! Why not visit a second-hand shop or a
charity shop, find something that catches your eye and change it into something more personal? But
don’t buy brand new items to upcycle – remember that the whole point of upcycling is to give an old
item a new life! It’s a fun challenge to take old or recycled items and create something even better!
Have you tried upcycling yet? Let me know in the comments!

41. Gavin has recently found out about recycling. ____T____

42. According to Gavin, you can recycle various items including __F______

electronic devices.

43. Upcycling is better for the environment than recycling. ________

44. Upcycling is an activity that requires special skills. ________

Audioscript

Good evening, everyone. My name is Steven Jones and I’m an environmental scientist. Today, I want to
talk to you about environmentally friendly ways to create electricity, as well as what we can do at home
to save electricity.

Currently, most of the world uses fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas to produce electricity. Fossil fuels
are likely to run out before 2060 – Because of this, they are becoming more expensive to buy. But worse
than that, burning them creates carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that causes global warming.
Therefore, it’s essential to switch to renewable energy like solar power, hydropower and geothermal
energy.

Sadly, those energy sources aren’t as successful as wind power in the UK because it’s usually cloudy and
rainy and, luckily for us, windy. At the moment, though, Iceland is the world leader in green energy. In
fact, almost 100% of their electricity comes from renewable sources. This reduces carbon emissions and
air pollution. It’s also a great example for other countries in the world that need to increase the amount
of renewable energy sources they use.

It’s easy to start using more green energy, though. In my opinion, every home in sunny countries in the
world should have solar panels on the rooftop. Even though they can cost a lot and need experts for the
installation and are usually large in size, it’s beneficial in the end because of how much money they save
you on your bills in the future.

Of course, not everyone can use solar energy at home, but there are things you can do to reduce the
amount of electricity you use including using energy-efficient devices. One thing to remember, though,
is that the little red light that tells you a device is on standby is also saying that you are still using
electricity. Turn them off when they’re not in use! Another great energy-saving idea is to add double-
glazed windows with two pieces of glass to your home.

Perhaps the best way to save electricity is to turn down your heating by one or two degrees. Don’t
expect your house to feel like it’s a summer’s day when it’s really the middle of winter. Turn down your
heating and put on more clothes: Heat the person, not the house. Now I’d like to answer some of the
questions from the audience…

IV. READING (3.0 points)

A. Read the following passage and choose the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the
numbered blanks.

How to make a building environmentally-friendly

The cost of energy is increasing while global warming is causing more and more damage to our
ecosystems. Many buildings are not good for the environment because they need a lot of energy to run.
For example, they need energy to heat them (31) _____, cool them down and power almost everything
inside. So, how can we make buildings environmentally-friendly, help the planet and save money all at
the same time?

Let’s think about how we can power our homes first of all. How about installing solar panels on the roof?
Solar panels are the cheapest way to create energy. They change sunlight into electricity which we can
use to power our electronic devices and produce hot water. This means we don’t have to use fossil fuels
such as coal, oil and gas which produce a lot of (32) _____ gases.

Now let’s see how we can stop the cold getting in and the heat getting out. Double-glazed windows have
two pieces of glass and they help to stop heat entering or escaping the home. They cut down on the
amount of energy you need to use in the building and help keep it at a reasonable temperature. This
also (33) _____ the amount of carbon emissions we produce because we don’t need to use as much
electricity.

A lot of buildings now use double-glazed windows, but what about solar panels? It (34) _____ around
half a century since they built the first solar-powered building, the ‘Solar One’. Why haven’t we installed
solar panels on all our buildings (35) _____? Knowing their benefits, what have we got to lose?

31. A. on B . up C. over D. off

32. A. pollution B. carbon C. fossil D. greenhouse

33. A. reduces B. prevents C. avoids D. releases

34. A. is B. was C. has been D. has gone

35. A. already B. just C. ago D. yet

B. Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions.

Deforestation
We have a beautiful green and blue planet. The oceans cover 71% of it and on 31% of the land we have
forests and jungles. Sadly, we cut around 42 million trees down every day. Apart from providing homes
for animals, these trees actively help the environment, removing and storing carbon dioxide from the
atmosphere. Cutting down huge numbers of trees in an area is deforestation, but why do people cut
down so many?

A lot of deforestation is for wood used in building and to make paper and card products, but they mostly
cut down trees to clear space for farming. 41% of global deforestation takes place in order to produce
beef from farming cows. But this isn’t the only reason. Humans clear 300 football pitches worth of forest
and jungle every hour in order to produce palm oil - a type of fat that we use to make lots of food
products including chocolate.

Global deforestation results in 4.8 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide in the air, which is terrible news for
the environment. However, deforestation isn’t only releasing huge amounts of greenhouse gases. It is
also leaving many animals without a place to live. This is causing some species such as the orangutan
and the Sumatran rhino to face extinction.

Is there anything we do about it when we live so far from the forests and jungles? Yes, there is. Firstly,
we can use recycled paper whenever possible and not waste paper. For example, not printing things off
unless we really need to. We could also stop eating products that contain palm oil. Small actions by all of
us today can save ecosystems tomorrow, and we can still enjoy our beautiful green and blue home.

36. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?

A. Only land animals are under threat because of losing their homes.

B. Certain human activities damage the environment.

C. Planting trees can stop the effects of global warming.

D. Humans need more green spaces where they live.

37. Why does the author mention football pitches in the second paragraph?

A. to suggest a place for planting palm trees

B. to show ways to save forests and jungles

C. to add one more reason for deforestation

D. to explain how much deforestation occurs

38. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Producing palm oil is bad for the environment.

B. Carbon dioxide is a cause of global warming.

 C. Producing meat causes over half of deforestation.

D. There is twice as much water as land on our planet.

39. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A. Farming palm trees affects wildlife more than farming cows.

B. Eating too much meat is bad for the environment.

C. Deforestation is worse than air pollution for the environment.

D. Fewer crops are the main solution to deforestation.

40. Which phrase is closest in meaning to face extinction in the third paragraph?

A. lose food and their homes

B. disappear from the planet

C. have to move to another place

D. fight each other in order to live

C. Read the following passage. For each of the questions from 41-45, write T if the statement is TRUE
and F if the statement is FALSE.

The Plastic Ocean

Plastic pollution is one of the biggest environmental issues the world is facing right now. In fact, around
8 million tons of plastic waste enters our oceans every year from the coasts and the rivers. Unlike paper
and card, which come from natural products, plastic doesn’t disappear quickly. It remains in the
environment and causes damage for many years.

There is so much plastic waste in our oceans that in 1997, Charles Moore, a boat captain, discovered a
huge collection of rubbish in the Pacific Ocean. He called it the Pacific Garbage Patch and experts think it
is around 1.6 million km2 – just under three times the size of France.

Plastic waste harms wildlife both on land and in the oceans. Animals might eat it or it might hurt them.
For example, sea turtles regularly eat plastic bags because they mistake them for their favourite snack –
jellyfish. Plastic pollution in the seas can also affect humans too, because fish and small sea creatures
may eat small pieces of plastic and then humans eat fish and seafood.

Fortunately, there are things we can do to make a difference right away. We can avoid single-use
plastics such as plastic bags, drinking straws and takeaway cups. Instead, we can use paper cups and
straws and take cloth bags with us when we go shopping. We can also make sure that we recycle our
rubbish and help reduce the amount of plastic entering the oceans and rivers by regularly taking part in
clean-up events. The future of our oceans is in our hands, so let’s make the right choices now.

41. Paper pollution isn’t as bad for marine wildlife as plastic pollution. _____

42. Scientists named the Pacific Garbage Patch in 1997. _____

43. Sea turtles sometimes think plastic drinking straws are food. _____

44. Plastic pollution from the sea can end up in our stomachs. _____

45. Using recycled items is the only way to stop plastic pollution. _____

Alice: Hi, Sam. What are you doing?

Sam: Hey, Alice. I’m just filling out this membership application for an environmental organisation.

Alice: Which one?

Sam: Green Clean - it’s a neighbourhood organisation that helps protect the environment from pollution
and helps keep spaces clean and tidy. They meet up regularly and organise lots of events with other
locals. I heard about it from a friend of mine.

Alice: Cool! I haven’t heard of them though. What do they do exactly?

Sam: They pick up litter and clear up areas such as streets and towns, parks and even beaches. They also
work with local people and businesses to find new ways for them to recycle their waste. They depend on
volunteers, though, to carry out everything.

Alice: Mmm, interesting! I volunteered at a tree-planting day last month and had a great time. I read
about the group online. They were asking for help and I decided to join in. A few of us met in the local
park and worked all morning. It was great at the end because we helped plant lots of trees at the local
park.

Sam: Sounds cool! I want to try that someday, too, but right now, I’m interested in volunteering at
events that aim to reduce pollution and recycle or reuse unwanted items.

Alice: So, when is the next event?

Sam: Actually, there’s a clean-up day at the local park this Saturday to improve the area and install some
new rubbish bins.

Alice: Rubbish bins?

Sam: Yes, more rubbish bins mean less rubbish on the ground. That will make the park a nicer place to
be and protect local wildlife. Hey, do you want to come along with me? More volunteers are always
welcome.

Alice: Yeah! It sounds great!
