and at the spearhead of this challenge is Greenpeace Wherever the environment is in danger, Greenpeace has made a stand Its scientific presentations and peaceful direct actions at sea and on land have shocked governments and industries into awareness that Greenpeace will not allow the natural world to be destroyed Those actions, too, have won the admiration and support of millions Now you can strengthen the thin green line; you can make your voice heard in defense of the living world by joining Greenpeace today Thank God someone's making waves Which of these statements is not made? a Drinking water is polluted b Radioactive waste poisons the sea c Sewage isn't processed d Cars and factories poison the air The writer _ a is surprised that the rain is poisoned b is unsured why the air is polluted c wonders why the natural world is being destroyed d understands why forests and lakes are being destroyed Rainforests are being destroyed because governments and industries a are unaware of what they're doing wrong b are rich and powerful c choose to ignore criticism d basically care about the environment The earth's resources _ a should only be for people b can be made to last longer c will last forever d belong to just humans and animals Governments and industries _ a don't know what Greenpeace thinks b are forced to understand the problems by Greenpeace c can easily ignore Greenpeace d misunderstand what Greenpeace thinks ĐỀ Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the blanks By 1984, nonrenewable (1) fuels, such as oil, coal and natural as, provided over 82 percent of the commercial and industrial energy used in the world Small amounts of energy were (2) from nuclear fission, and the remaining 16 percent came from burning direct perpetual and renewable fuels such as biomass Between 1700 and 1986 a large number of countries shifted from the use of energy from local sources to a centralized generation of hydropower and solar energy (3) to electricity The energy from nonrenewable fossil fuels has been (4) produced in one location and transported to another, as is the case with most automobile fuels A clean B unleaded C fossil D solid A produced B derived C extracted D released A saved B reformed C delivered D converted A actually B increasingly C gradually D consequently Read the following passage and answer the questions Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become extinct or have neared extinction has increased Bengal tigers, for instance, which 'once roamed the jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300 By the year 2025, it is estimated that they will become extinct What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused almost entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in material gain but in personal gratification This is an example of the callousness that is contributing to the problem of extinction Animals such as the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of the world's ecosystem International laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival - and the survival of our planet Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways Some countries, in an effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animal reserves They then charge admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend on world organizations for support This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to protect the animals Another response to the increase in animal extinction is an international boycott of products made from endangered species This has' had some effect, but by itself It will not prevent animals from being hunted and killed What is the main topic of the passage?

a The search for alternative energy sources is not over b Our present energy sources must be eliminated and replaced with alternatives sources c Alternative sources of energy on this planet are very limited d Demand; for energy in the future are likely to decrease Which of the following is not true according to the passage? a The amount of fossil fuels in the world is limited b Most alternative energy sources are environmentally friendly c Hydroelectric power is impractical because of its being money consuming d It is impossible to use wind power efficiently at present ĐỀ Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the blanks Few people now question the reality of global warming and its effects on the world's climate Many scientists (1) the blame for recent natural disasters on the increase in the world's temperatures and are convinced that, more than ever before, the Earth is at (2) from the force of the wind, rain and sun According to them, global warming is making extreme weather events; such as hurricanes and droughts, even more (3) and causing sea levels all around the world rise Environmental groups are putting pressure on governments to take action to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide which is given off by factories and power plants, thus attacking the problem at its source They are in (4) of more money being spent on research into solar, wind and wave energy devices, which could then replace existing power stations A give B put C take D have A threat B danger C risk D harm A strick B strong C heavy D severe A belief B request C favour D suggestion ... hasn’t arrived yet 20 The housewhere he lives is not very big 21 Do you like the song which they are playing on the radio?
