Read the passage and choose the correct answers.
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 was 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 đồ dùng, dụng cụ. 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 highquality 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 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 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 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.
61. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. how to reduce garbage disposal
B. what people often understand about the term 'recycle'
C. what is involved in the recycling movement
D. how to live sensitively to the environment.
62. Which is described as one of the most industrialized areas?
A. Europe
B. Asia
C. Middle East
D. South America
63. What does the word 'sensitive' in the phrase 'sensitive to the environment' mean?
A. cautious
B. logical
C. friendly
D. responding
64. People can do the following to reduce waste EXCEPT
A. buy high-quality product
B. buy simply-wrapped things
C. reuse cups
D. buy fewer hamburgers
65. Why is it a waste and customers buy low-quality products?
A. Because people will soon throw them away.
B. Because they have to be repaired many times.
C. Because customers change their ideas all the time.
D. Because they produce less energy.

Đọc kỹ đoạn văn sau và chọn phương án đúng ( a hoặc b, c , d) cho mỗi câu từ 71 đến 80:
By the mid-nineteenth century, the term “icebox” had entered the American language, but ice
was still only beginning to affect the diet of ordinary citizens in the United States. The ice trade grew
with the growth of cities. Ice was used in hotels, taverns, and hospitals, and by some forward- looking
city dealers in fresh meat, fresh fish, and butter. After the Civil War ( 1860- 1865), as ice used to
refrigerate freight cars, it also came into household use. Even before 1880, half the ice sold in New
York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, and one-third of that sold in Boston and Chicago, went to families
for their own use. This had become possible because a new household convenience, the icebox, a
precursor of the modern refrigerator, had been invented.
Making an efficient icebox was not as easy as we might now suppose. In the early nineteenth
century, the knowledge of the physics of heat , which was essential to a science of refrigeration, was
rudimentary. The commonsense notion that the best icebox was one that prevented the ice from
melting was of course mistaken, for it was the melting of the ice that performed the cooling.
Nevertheless, early efforts to economize ice included wrapping the ice blankets, which kept the ice from
doing its job. Not until near the end of the nineteenth century did inventors achieve the delicate balance
of insulation and circulation needed for an efficient icebox.
But as early as 1803, an ingenious Maryland farmer, Thomas Moore, had been on the right
track. He owned a farm about twenty miles outside the city of Washington, for which the village of
Georgetown was the market center. When he used an icebox of his own design to transport his butter to
market, hr found that customers would pass up the rapidly melting stuff in the tubs of his competitors to
pay a premium price for his butter, still fresh and hard in neat, one-pound bricks. One advantage of his
icebox, more explained, was that farmers would no longer have to travel to market at night in order to
keep their produce cool.
71. What does t he passage mainly discuss?
a. The influence of ice on the diet
b. The development of refrigeration
c. The transportation of goods to market
d. Sources of ice in the nineteenth century.
72. According to the passage, when did the word “icebox” become part of the language of the United
States?
a. In 1803
b. Sometime before 1850
c. During the Civil War
d. Near the end of 19th century
