READING Read the following passage about plastic bags and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answers of the following questions. Plastic bags are used by everybody. From a vegetable vendor to a designer store, everyone seems to use them. Even though they are one of the modern conveniences that we seem to be unable to do without, they are responsible for causing pollution, killing wildlife, and using up the precious resources of the Earth. But, most of us are blissfully unaware of the outcomes that are occurring and will take place in the future. Every once in a while, the government passes out an order banning store owners from providing plastic bags to customers for carrying their purchases. About a hundred billion plastic bags are used every year in the U.S. alone. The problem is further worsened by the developed countries shipping off their plastic waste to developing countries like India. Once they are used, most bags go into landfills. Each year, more and more bags are ending up littering the environment. Once they become litter, plastic bags find their way into our waterways, parks, beaches, and streets. About 100,000 animals, such as dolphins, turtles, whales, penguins are killed every year due to these bags. And worse, the ingested plastic bag remains intact even after the death and decomposition of the animal. One of the worst environmental effects is that they are non- biodegradable. No one will live so long to witness the decomposition of plastic! A tote bag can make a good substitute for carrying groceries and the shopping. You can keep the bag with the cashier, and then put your purchases into it instead of the usual plastic bag. Recycling the bags you already have is another good idea. Plastics are not only non-biodegradable, but are one of the major pollutants of the sea. For a clean and green environment, try to use alternatives to plastic whenever and wherever possible. (Adapted from: https://helpsavenature.com/) Question 17. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 3? A. Once littered, plastic bags will not pollute our waterways, parks, beaches, and streets. B. After they are thrown away, plastic bags often end up in our waterways, parks, beaches, and streets. C. Concerning in our waterways, parks, beaches, and streets, plastic bags after discarded often start off. D. When abandoned, plastic bags hardly polluted our waterways, parks, beaches, and streets. Question 18. The word “outcomes” in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by _________. A. contamination B. situations C. benefits D. consequences Question 19. What does the word “them” in the first paragraph refer to? A. personal development B. everyone C. plastic bags D. good substitutes Question 20. In which paragraph does the writer mention the biggest problem? A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4 Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the option that best fits each of the numbered blanks. Gender Equality Today. Gender equality is a fundamental human right and a critical foundation for a peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable world. Ensuring that women and men have equal opportunities is essential for the development of society. Despite significant progress in recent years, gender inequality remains a pressing issue across the globe. Women continue to be underrepresented in leadership positions and
face numerous barriers in various sectors, including education, healthcare, and the workforce. According to the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report 2021, it will take an estimated 135.6 years to close the gender gap globally if current trends continue. In many countries, women are still subjected to discrimination and violence. Gender-based violence, including domestic violence and sexual harassment, affects millions of women worldwide and hinders their ability to participate fully in society. Additionally, cultural and societal norms often perpetuate stereotypes that limit women's roles and opportunities. However, there are positive signs of change. Movements advocating for gender equality have gained momentum, and more individuals are recognizing the importance of women's rights. Governments and organizations are implementing policies to promote equal opportunities and protect against discrimination. Education plays a vital role in this transformation, as empowering girls through education can lead to improved economic outcomes and healthier communities. Achieving gender equality is not only a matter of fairness; it is essential for the advancement of society as a whole. By ensuring equal rights and opportunities for all genders, we can create a more just and equitable world. [Adapted United Nations. "Gender Equality."
