Read the passage, answer the questions by choosing A, B, C or D. People all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by man's release of new and often artificial substances into the environment or by releasing increased amounts of a natural substance, such as oil from oil tankers into the sea. Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only governments, companies, and individuals would make more efforts. In the home, there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Foods wrapped up three or four times in packages all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which cannot be reused. This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms of glass, metal and paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy things we don't need, but also to throw away much of what we have bought. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying, excess use and careless disposal of the products we use in our daily lives. 26.

A. the production of new industrial goods B. increased amounts of a natural substance C. increasing population and their needs to buy more products D. the release of artificial or natural substances into the environment 27.

A. people would pay more attention to their waste B. all sides concerned would make more efforts C. governments would take effective measures D. farmers would use less natural resources
28. Food packages, bottles and tins for drinks can cause ……………... A. more and more air and water pollution B. both a litter problem and a waste of resources C. the price of the products to rise greatly D. the advertising industry to make more profit 29.
