Garbage cans are not magical portals. Trash does not disappear when you toss it in a can. If there are<br />
no magic garbage fairies, where does all the trash go? There are four methods of managing waste:<br />
recycling, landfilling, composting, and incinerating.<br />
Recycling is the process of turning waste into new materials. For example, used paper can be turned<br />
into paperboard, which can be used to make book covers. Recycling can reduce pollution, save materials,<br />
and lower energy use. Yet, some argue that recycling wastes energy. They believe that collecting,<br />
processing, and converting waste uses more energy than it saves.<br />
Landfilling is the oldest method of managing waste. In its simplest form, landfilling is when people<br />
bury garbage in a hole. Over time the practice of landfilling has advanced. Garbage is compacted before<br />
it is thrown into the 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 />
Composting 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 richer<br />
and better for growing crops. While composting is easy to do onsite somewhere, like home or school, it’s<br />
hard to do after the garbage gets all mixed up. This is because plastic and other inorganic materials must<br />
be removed from the compost pile or they will pollute the soil. There’s a lot of plastic in garbage, which<br />
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 bum the fuel. The second is to<br />
bum the waste directly. The heat from the incineration process can boil water, which can power steam<br />
Trang 3/6 - Mã đề thi 563<br />
<br />
generators. Unfortunately, burning garbage pollutes the air. Also, some critics worry that incinerators<br />
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 possession.<br />
You can choose to recycle, you can choose to compost, or you can choose to let someone else deal with<br />
it. The choice is yours.<br />

One of the hottest topics related to the environment is rainforests. Despite always being mentioned in<br />
the news, many people don’t know very much about these areas or understand why they are so important.<br />
The name “rainforest” actually does a pretty good job of describing what they are — tall forests that<br />
receive high amounts of precipitation. In a year, rainforests get between 250 to 450 centimetres of<br />
precipitation. There are two types of rainforests: tropical rainforests and temperate rainforests. Tropical<br />
rainforests are more plentiful and are located in warmer climates, while temperate rainforests are found in<br />
places where the weather is a bit milder. In terms of location, rainforests can be found on every continent<br />
with the exception of Antarctica. Although they only cover 6 percent of the Earth, over 50 percent of the<br />
Earth’s animal and plant species can be found there. Many biologists estimate that there are possibly<br />
millions of additional species present there that have yet to be discovered and classified.<br />
Over the years, rainforests have gained the nickname “the world’s pharmacy” because more than 25<br />
percent of natural medicines were found there. Many herbs that are used to make medicines can only be<br />
found in rainforests. Rainforests are also home to several tribes that have lived off the land for thousands<br />
of years. During this time, they have survived by hunting animals and gathering fruits and vegetables.<br />
They also possess tremendous knowledge when it comes to crafting and applying medicines made from<br />
Trang 4/6 - Mã đề thi 563<br />
<br />
herbs and plants. Over time, their unique way of life has declined as they have come in contact with<br />
modem civilization.<br />
Despite their numerous benefits, rainforest have been disappearing at a rapid speed. As the Earth’s<br />
population continues to expand, developers have been cutting down their trees to create new lands for<br />
farming or urban projects. This could have unfortunate long-term effects on our planet. If deforestation<br />
continues at this rate, it is possible that a quarter of all species on the Earth may become extinct in the<br />
next 50 years. As it stands, plenty of damage has already occurred. West Africa has had 90 percent of its<br />
rainforests destroyed, while the island nation of Madagascar has eliminated 66 percent of its original<br />
rainforests as well. As a result, many charities have sprung up with the goal of purchasing and protecting<br />
the remaining rainforests. With their help, hopefully we can stop the destruction of one of the planet’s<br />
most vital assets.<br />
Câu 41: What can we assume there are no rainforests in Antarctica?<br />
A. They have already all been cut down.<br />
B. The weather is too cold there.<br />
C. There are already too many rainforest in other countries.<br />
D. There are no animals in this place.<br />
Câu 42: According to the passage, what did biologists conclude about rainforests?<br />
A. They are not as important as some believe.<br />
B. Soon they will all be destroyed.<br />
C. They have found all of the species living there.<br />
D. There are likely creatures there that humans haven’t studied.<br />
Câu 43: Which of the following is NOT the feature of rainforests?<br />
A. They account for large amounts of the Earth’s surface.<br />
B. They can be found in Europe and North America.<br />
