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 from 34 to 40.
People may think that food choice is only important for keeping a healthy weight. However, the way we
eat and the food choices we make every day also have a big impact on the environment.
Food production is a major contributor to climate change. The process of growing, manufacturing, and
transporting food, especially meat and dairy products, involves the use of fossil fuels. We all know that
burning fossil fuels releases a huge amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. All the ingredients for
our meals require land, water, and energy to produce, so the food we choose can either increase or decrease
our carbon footprint. In addition, transporting food over long distances can create more greenhouse gas
emissions.

So what should we do? We should start by eating local and organic food. This can not only limit the amount
of carbon dioxide produced during transportation, but can also help us avoid pesticides that are harmful to
both humans and the environment. We should also choose a healthier diet with less animal-based food and
more vegetables. Raising livestock for food requires huge amounts of water and grain, and can cause
deforestation and pollution. Cows and sheep release methane as they digest plants and grass. Although it is
shorter lived than carbon dioxide, methane is a lot more powerful than carbon dioxide at warming the Earth.

That is why we should try to eat less red meat and dairy products. Making responsible food choices will not
only improve our health and well-being, but will also have a positive impact on the environment.

Question 33. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Food production is a major contributor to climate change.
B. Eating organic food does not affect the environment.
C. Reducing meat consumption has no impact on climate change.
D. Livestock farming does not require large amounts of water.
Question 34. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 2 as a contributor to the carbon
footprint of our food?
A. Food production requires land, water, and energy. B. Food production requires the use of fossil fuels.
C. Food transportation creates greenhouse gas emissions. D. Food waste in landfills emits methane,
Question 35. The word “manufacturing” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
A. inventing B. producing C. Packing D. processing
Question 36. The word 'it' in paragraph 3 refers to _______.
A. methane B. sheep C. Pollution D. Earth
Question 37.The word “limit” in paragraph 3 is opposite in meaning to which of the following?
A. Control B. Increase C. Reduce D. Avoid
Question 38. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?
A. Fossil fuels are used during food production, particularly in the meat and dairy industry.
B. Food production requires fossil fuels, especially for growing vegetables and fruits.
C. Transporting food products mainly contributes to the consumption of fossil fuels.
D. Only meat and dairy farming require fossil fuels in food production.
Question 39. In which paragraph does the writer mention the impact of livestock farming on methane
emissions?
A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4
Question 40. In which paragraph does the writer mention the advice in food choices?

FURTHER PRACTICE
Choose the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
A guide to school-leavers' planning for the future
When you leave secondary school, you have different options, including going to a university or a
vocational school, getting a job or taking a gap year. Sometimes choices may make you confused, so you
should examine all your options before making any plans for the future. Below are some things you may
like to try before making your decision.
If there are teachers you really love or look up to, you can ask them for some advice. Your teachers have
been observing you for months, so they know your strengths, talents, and personality. You may share your
dreams and concerns with them and ask them to give you an honest opinion about what option may be
suitable for you.
If possible, you can talk to a career adviser when you are still undecided about your future plans and ask for
their advice. If you can't find a career adviser, you can take some career-matching tests online. These
tests are typically created by career experts and psychologists, so they can help you make an informed
decision.
Visiting a college or university campus is also important as it will make you think about if you can see
yourself there or not. Usually, educational institutions have orientation days for secondary school students
to experience university life first-hand. You could even contact the university.

future plans.
