C. READING COMPREHENSION
I – Read the article below. Five sentences have been removed from it. Choose from the sentences A – F, the
one which fits each gap. There is one extra sentence you do not need to use.
According to a recent study whereas plastic bags were rarely seen at sea in the late eighties and nineties, they
are now being found almost everywhere across the planet, from Spitsbergen in the Arctic to the South Atlantic
close to Antarctica. They are among the 12 items of rubbish most often found in coastal clean-ups. (36)
______________ Windblown plastic bags are so common in Africa that a small industry has appeared: harvesting
bags and using them to make hats and another items, with one group of people collecting 30,000 per month. In
some developing countries they are a major nuisance in blocking the drainage systems of towns and villages.
What matters is what happens to them after use. Enormous numbers end up being buried or burnt, which is
an enormous waste of the oil products which have gone into their manufacture. (37) ______________ Turtles
mistake them for their jellyfish food and choke on them; birds mistake them for fish with similar consequences;
dolphins have been found with plastic bags preventing them breathing properly.
The wildlife film-maker Rebecca Hosking was shocked by the effects of the bags on birds on the Pacific
island of Midway. She found that two-fifths of the 500,000 albatross chicks born each year die, the vast majority
from swallowing plastic that their parents have mistakenly brought back as food. As a result, she started a
movement to turn her home town into the first community in the country to be free off plastic bags. Many local
residents and shopkeepers joined in, and the idea of getting rid of them completely soon spread to other towns
and villages.

Although some people remain unconvinced, it does seem possible that the entire country could eventually
become plastic-bag free. Who could have imagined half-a-century ago that our public places would one day all
become cigarette-smoke free? Or that we would all be using lead-free petrol? Who would have thought even a
decade ago, come to that, that about two-thirds of us would by now be actively involved in recycling? (38)
______________.
What is needed is a general change in consumer attitudes, towards the habit of using re-usable shopping bags.
Older people will remember how this used to be entirely normal as every household had a ‘shopping bag’, a strong
bag which was used to carry items bought in the daily trip to the shops. (39) ______________ Today, many of us
tend to drive to the supermarket once a week and fill up the car with seven days’ worth of supplies, for which
plastic bags, of course, are fantastically useful. It’s a hard habit to break.
However, there has already been a big drop in plastic bag use, partly because the leading supermarkets and
other shopkeepers are making a major effort to help us give up the habit, with a whole variety of new ideas. (40)
______________ It is clear that habits are starting to change; reusable bags are more visible than they were even
two years ago.
Many believe there should be a tax on plastic bags, and the government of a number of countries are
considering the idea. What people have in mind is the example of Ireland, where a tax of €0.22 was introduced
on all plastic bags, the first of its kind in the world.
A. Major changes in public opinion and behavior
can certainly occur.
B. On land they are everywhere, too.
C. These range from cheap ‘bags for life’ offers to
bag-free check outs.
D. Worse still, billions get into the environment,
especially the ocean environment, where they
become a terrible threat to wildlife.
E. But there was a very different pattern of
household shopping then: the purchase of a much
smaller number of items, on a daily basis, after a
walk to small, local shops.
F. She realized then that it was too late to do
anything about this man-made disaster.
II – Read the following text and circle the correct answer A, B, C or D which best fits each gap.
Tourism is the fastest-growing industry in the world. As well as bringing prosperity to an area, however, it
can also destroy the qualities which (41) ______________ visitors in the first place. If it is not carefully controlled,
tourism can also (42) ______________ problems for local people, as is shown by various examples from around
the world.
When Phuket in Thailand first became a popular tourist (43) ______________, people there were unable to
cope with the increase in rubbish that two million visitors a year (44) ______________ and a huge incinerator
had to be built in the countryside to deal with it. New hotels at Goa in India caused a huge increase in water
consumption, (45) ______________ many local people to walk considerable distances to get clean water. And
Egypt’s desert landscapes are being destroyed by the litter dropped by tourists. Moving sands are difficult to clean,
and the white desert to the west of the Nile Valley may be permanently (46) ______________.
It’s encouraging, therefore, to read about the (47) ______________ of certain tour companies who are
organizing environmental holidays in some of the worst hit areas. Regular tours now go to places (48)
______________ the Himalayas and Atlas mountains in North Africa with the (49) ______________ of
combining a bit of sightseeing with the chance to help (50) ______________ some of the mess left by previous
visitors.

III – Read the following text and fill each blank with a suitable word.
Twenty years ago, kids in school had never even heard of the Internet. Now, I bet you cannot find a single
person in your school who has not at least heard of it. In fact, many of us use it on a (51) ________________
basis and even have access to it from our home!
The “net” in internet really stands for network. A network is two or more computers connected together so
that information can be (52) ________________, or sent from one computer to another.
Internet is a vast resource for all types of information. You may enjoy using it to do research for a school
project, (53) ________________ your favorite songs or communicating with friends and family. Information is
(54) ________________ through pages that companies, organizations and individuals create and post. It is kind
of like a giant (55) ________________ board that whole world uses! But since anyone can put anything on the
Internet, you also have to be careful and use your best (56) ________________ and a little common sense.
Just because you read something on a piece of paper someone sticks on a bulletin board does not mean it is
good information, or even correct for that matter. So you have to be sure that whoever (57) ________________
the information knows what they are talking about, especially if you are doing research?
But, what if you are just emailing people? You still have to be very careful. If you have never met the person
that you are (58) ________________ with online, you could be on (59) ________________ ground. You should
never give out any personal information to someone you do not know, not even your name! And just like you
cannot believe the information on every website out there, you cannot rely on what (60) ________________ you
“meet” on the Internet tell you either. Just like you could make up things about yourself to tell someone, someone
else could do the same to you!
