For centuries, people have relied on natural resources to survive and grow. However, human activities—such as deforestation, industrialization, and the burning of fossil fuels—have significantly altered natural ecosystems.As a result, we are now witnessing severe environmental consequences, including climate change, biodiversity loss, and increased pollution. These effects, in turn, influence human life. Rising global temperatures lead to more frequent natural disasters like floods, wildfires, and droughts, which threaten food security and public health.Despite these challenges, humans are not just passive victims of environmental change. We are also agents of change. Innovative technologies, sustainable farming methods, and renewable energy sources offer new opportunities to reduce our negative impact on the planet. Governments, organizations, and individuals all play a role in promoting environmental responsibility.Understanding this two-way interaction is essential if we are to build a sustainable future. Every choice we make—from the products we consume to how we travel—can either contribute to environmental degradation or help protect the planet.Question 23: Which of the following is NOT MENTIONED as a consequence of environmental damage in the passage?A.

Paragraph 4Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.Impacts of Land PollutionLandfills and dumpsites are especially problematic for local animals, but litter everywhere threatens wildlife. Animals can become entangled in litter or mistake it for food. Entanglement prevents animals from moving freely, and it can interrupt essential behaviors like breathing. When animals eat litter, it takes up space in the gut without providing nutrition, making them feel full and possibly leading to starvation. Litter can also carry harmful chemicals, such as heavy metals, that cause negative health outcomes for wildlife.People can get sick if they live near landfills or trash areas. These places can cause health problems like breathing or heart diseases. For example, Campania is a place in Italy, north of Naples. [I] People call it the “land of fires” because of burning and dumping of dangerous waste. This has made the land and water dirty. Many people there, even children, have become sick, and some got cancer. [II] In 2025, a European court told Italy to make a plan to check the pollution and help people spread public awareness.Land pollution can also present a threat to the physical safety of humans. In 2000, at a massive landfill near Quezon City, Philippines, heavy rains caused a trash landslide that killed more than 200 people. Thousands of people lived on the slopes of the landfill. [III] They made their living from recycling and selling items in the landfill. But it wasn’t until 2020 that a court ruled the accident was the result of government negligence and awarded settlements to the victims’ families. [IV]Land pollution does not impact everyone equally. Worldwide, middle- and low-income countries and communities are often at greater risk for land pollution and its negative health impacts. High-income countries produce 34% of the world’s trash but make up only 16% of the world’s population. Within countries, poorer and more marginalized communities are often closer to landfills and dumpsites and experience worse health effects.[Adapted from https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/pollution/]Question 31: Where in paragraph [ ] does the following sentence best fit?But activists drew attention to government inaction and the role of organized crime in illegal dumpingA.

It can cause health problems in humans, especially children.B. It leads to economic loss due to damage in agricultural areas.C. It can be life-threatening in cases like trash landslides.D.

Wildlife may try to avoid areas where litter is common.B. Animals are often harmed when they confuse trash with edible things or get stuck in it.C. Litter makes it easier for animals to find shelter and places to feed.D. Some animals use trash to build nests and survive harsh weather.Question 39: What can be inferred about the government’s response to the Quezon City landfill tragedy?A. Authorities took immediate action after the incident in 2000 to close the landfill.B. The court did not hold anyone accountable due to lack of evidence.C. It took two decades before the victims received legal recognition and compensation.D.
