READING COMPREHENSION<br />
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to<br />
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 37<br />
There are four methods of managing waste: recycling, landfilling, composting, and incinerating.<br />
Recycling is the process of turning waste into new materials. For example, used paper can be<br />
turned into paperboard, which can be used to make book covers. Recycling can reduce pollution, save<br />
materials, and lower energy use. Yet, some argue that recycling wastes energy. They believe that<br />
collecting, processing, and converting waste uses more energy than it saves.<br />
Trang 3/6 - Mã đề thi 132<br />
<br />
Landfilling is the oldest method of managing waste. In its simplest form, landfilling is when people<br />
bury garbage in a hole. Landfills may pollute the local water supply. Not to mention that all of that<br />
garbage stinks. Nobody wants to live next to a landfill. This makes it hard to find new locations for<br />
landfills.<br />
Compositing is when people pile up organic matter, such as food waste, and allow it to decompose.<br />
The product of this decomposition is compost. Compost can be added to the soil to make the soil<br />
richer and better for growing crops. While composting is easy to do on-site somewhere, like home or<br />
school, it's hard to do after the garbage gets all mixed up. This is because plastic and other inorganic<br />
materials must be removed from the compost pile or they will pollute the soil. There's a lot of plastic in<br />
garbage, which makes it hard to compost on a large scale.<br />
One thing that is easier to do is burning garbage. There are two main ways to incinerate waste. The<br />
first is to create or harvest a fuel from the waste, such as methane gas, and burn the fuel. The second<br />
is to burn the waste directly. The heat from the incineration process can boil water, which can power<br />
steam generators. Unfortunately, burning garbage pollutes the air. Also, some critics worry that<br />
incinerators destroy valuable resources that could be recycled.<br />
Usually, the community in which you live manages waste. Once you put your garbage in that can,<br />
what happens to it is beyond your control. But you can make choices while it is still in your<br />
possession. You can choose to recycle, you can choose to compost, or you can choose to let someone<br />
else deal with it. The choice is yours.<br />

indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50<br />
Globally, population has doubled since 1968 and grown by almost 40 percent since reaching 5<br />
billion in 1987, an event that led to the first World Population Day. Growth will continue at least until<br />
midcentury despite dramatic declines in the average number of children per woman, according to UN<br />
population division.<br />
Current estimates indicate that roughly 83 million people are being added to the world’s population<br />
every year. Even assuming that fertility levels will continue to decline, the global population is<br />
expected to reach 8.6 billion in 2030, 9.8 billion in 2050 and 11.2 billion in 2100, according to the<br />
medium-variant projection.<br />
The UN Population Division collaborates closely with the agencies, funds, programmes and bodies of<br />
the United Nations system in the implementation of the work programme on population and in the<br />
follow-up to the International Conference on Population and Development. United Nations missions,<br />
national Government offices, United Nations offices, researchers, media representatives and the public<br />
regularly consult the Population Division regarding population estimates and projections, and<br />
information and analyses on population and development issues.<br />
At its thirty-eighth session, the Statistical Commission requested the United Nations Statistics<br />
Division and other international agencies to increase their technical assistance to national statistical<br />
offices in order to strengthen national capacity for the implementation of the 2010 World Programme<br />
on Population and Housing Censuses. In addition, the Commission requested countries to begin<br />
implementation of the revised Principles and Recommendations for Population and Housing Censuses.<br />
United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) works with many partners, both within and outside the<br />
United Nations system, including Governments, non-governmental organizations, civil society, faithbased organizations, religious leaders and others, to achieve its mission. To better respond to local<br />
needs, UNFPA increasingly devotes resources to country-led efforts, placing emphasis on countryfocused and country-led implementation to achieve improved results, at the same time addressing<br />
mutual accountability and strengthening harmonization and alignment.<br />
UNFPA works to support family planning by: ensuring a steady, reliable supply of quality<br />
contraceptives; strengthening national health systems; advocating for policies supportive of family<br />
planning; and gathering data to support this work. UNFPA also provides global leadership in increasing<br />
