Can you name some things that harm our environment? If you said cars, you’re right. If you said smoke from large factories, well, that’s a big part of the problem, too. But maybe you usually overlooked something in your daily life: your dinner. Agriculture, which produces your food, is more harmful to the environment than cars, trucks, trains, and airplanes combined. Today’s farming uses our water supplies inefficiently. Chemicals used on farms run into rivers and lakes and pollute them. When rainforests and grassland are cleared for farm animals and crops, the result is often the extinction of wildlife. Farming methods release harmful gases into the air. These gases are an enormous contributor to global warming. By 2050, the world population will be 9 billion, 2 billion more than it is today. Because of population growth, the problem of feeding so many people is huge. There will be a growing need for food all over the world. As countries such as China and India continue to become more prosperous, there is an increasing demand for meat, eggs, and dairy. How can we increase the amount of food and maintain a healthy planet? Here are some solutions. It is important to stop cutting down forests for agriculture. This is very destructive to the environment. We don’t need to eat so much meat. Producing meat wastes valuable resources and contributes to global warming. 4
  5. We must stop wasting food. In rich countries, about 50 percent of food goes in the trash. In poor countries, a lot of food is lost between the farmer and the market because storage and transportation are not efficient. (Grammar in context, Sandra N.

Due to population growth, the demand for food will increase. B. If we eat less meat, this environment will be significantly improved. C. Rich countries consume more food than poor countries. D. As transportation and storage is not effective, 50% of food is thrown away. Question 42: The underlined word maintain in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to ___. A. sacrificeB. sustainC. createD. destroy Question 43: What is the main idea of the passage? A. Agriculture is destructive.B. Solutions to the world hunger. C. There are countries that are richer.D. We can both save and feed the planet. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50. Every spring, thousands of students in grades 5-12 prepare science fair projects for competitions held by school districts, counties, and states. These fairs are public exhibitions of the students' projects to recognize their work and to stimulate interest in science. The grand finale of all state and regional science fairs in the United States and elsewhere is the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, more frequently referred to as the Intel ISEF. The students' projects are judged by professionals from the scientific community. There are a number of benefits to taking part. For example, students who participate can earn valuable experience along with educational grants, scholarships, and other prizes. Additionally, many college recruiters have a very positive view of science fair project participation when they are considering an application for college admission. The Intel ISEF is, in a word, incredible. The participants would be amazed by the sheer size of this event, which hosts the finest science fair projects in the world, displayed by exhibitors from every part of the globe, many of whom come dressed in their finest suits or school uniforms. These exhibitors are often accompanied by an entourage of mentors, teachers, and families. They can be seen eagerly taking photos and waving flags at awards ceremonies. Along with the exhibitors, there is an impressive group of Intel ISEF associates and judges who make up a Who’s Who list in various scientific fields. It is a scene like no other, except perhaps the Olympic games, and this is not an exaggeration. The annual fair is a week-long affair complete with opening and closing ceremonies, formal parties and awards presentations. In addition to all this there are workshops, networking meetings, sight-seeing tours, and of course intense judging rounds. Exhibitors compete for over $2 million in college scholarships, tuition grants, internships, and 5
  6. ultimately (for the top grand prize winners) a chance to attend the Nobel Prize ceremonies in Stockholm, Sweden. Considering the opportunities the Intel ISEF presents - meeting students who will be tomorrow’s scientific leaders, networking with the best minds in science, gaining exposure to the scientific community and possibly winning awards, the student’ science fair project is sure to take on a whole new meaning.
