Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Many people go through life only thinking about their own well-being and that of those around
them. In reality, the well-being of the environment is just as important in certain ways. Without a healthy
and sustainable environment, their own health and ability to leave behind a sustainable planet to those
who live after them is negatively affected. Therefore, two main environmental benefits can be realised
with greener living.
Firstly, people can conserve natural resources. The natural resources that man has been enjoying
are beginning to disappear. Due to population growth, it is estimated that the use of natural resources has
more than tripled since 1970. At that rate, it is not difficult to see how these same resources will
eventually become depleted. It is important to conserve those precious resources so that others after this
generation can enjoy the same quality of living on this planet.
Secondly, people can reduce the harmful effects of climate change. Primarily due to human’s
reliance on fossil fuels over the years, climate change is a real concern. People continue to release carbon
dioxide into the atmosphere, further polluting the air. This is leading to dramatic changes in temperatures
that need to be stopped. Greener living aims to do exactly that. For every person who makes an effort to
reduce his or her carbon footprint in the world, climate change can begin to become less of a concern over
time.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
In a statistical report released by WHO, around 13 million deaths happen each year due to
environmental issues. To make it worse, multiple diseases are a result of surviving in a low-quality
environment. Lung diseases, asthma, stroke, issues in the heart are some of the examples. Green living
such as making environment-friendly and sustainable food choices, energy conservation can help reduce
pollution to some extent.
Firstly, the consumption of healthier foods can contribute to reducing pollution. People can start by
consuming eco-friendly foods by buying from local farmers, buying organic and seasonal foods, etc. They
are made of fewer pesticides that go into human bodies. Too much exposure to pesticides harms the
natural hormones present in the human body and as a result, people face many health issues like lack of
immunity, hormonal changes and also cancer.
Secondly, through energy conservation, people are saving both natural resources as well as
money. The light bulbs and other electrical appliances that are available in the market produce 2.3 billion
tons of carbon dioxide, which pollutes the air severely. Today there are LED bulbs available in the market
that are eco-friendly and also save energy. Using such energy-efficient appliances reduces up to 30% of
the annual electricity bill.

Family Life in the United States
Family life in the United States is changing. Thirty or forty years ago, the wife was called a
"housewife". She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children. The husband earned the money for the
family. He was usually out working all day. He came home tired in the evening, so he did not do much
housework. And he did not see the children very much, except on weekends.
These days, however, more and more women work outside the home. They cannot stay with the
children all day. They, too, come home tired in the evening. They do not want to spend the evening
cooking dinner and cleaning up. They do not have time to clean the house and do the laundry. So who is
going to do the housework now? Who is going to take care of the children?
 Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it. In these families, the husband and wife
agree to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job. For example, the husband
always cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry. Or the wife cooks dinner on some nights and
the husband cooks dinner on other nights.
Then there is a question of the children. In the past, many families got help with child care from
grandparents. Noe families usually do not live near their relatives. The grandparents often are to far away
to help in a regular way.
More often, parents have to pay for child care help. The help may be a babysister or a day-care center.
The problem with this kind of help is the high cost. It is possible only for couples with jobs that pay well.
Parents may get another kind of help from the companies they work for. Many companies now let
people with children work part-time. That way, parents can spend more time with their children. Some
husbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children. For these men there is a new
word: They are called "househusband". In the United States more and more men are becoming
househusband every year.
These changes in the home mean changes in the family. Fathers can learn to understand their
children better, and the children can get to know their fathers better. Husbands and wives may also find
changes in their marriage. They, too, may have a better understanding of each other.
Question 1. This article is about ____________________

Read the passage and choose the best answers to the questions.
Plastic takes hundreds of years to degrade, and even then, it is not fully decomposed, it remains in the
environment in the form of microplastics. These tiny particles that can measure just a few nanometres are
becoming more concentrated in our environment. Recent studies have shown that there is now 60 times
more microplastic in the ocean than there was just 15 years ago. This presents a significant threat to
human health as microplastics have been linked with cancer, reduced fertility, psychological illnesses, and
birth defects. Plastics often contain a myriad of toxic chemicals that include neurotoxins, carcinogens, and
endocrine disrupters.
A new technique was recently developed by researchers at Arizona State University that allows scientists
to detect the presence of microplastics in human tissue. The results were alarming. The team showed that
microplastics were detectable in 100% of the tissues sampled. This is concerning as it shows that
microplastics are entering the human body and likely accumulating there, where, in greater quantities,
they are more likely to cause harm.
Studies have shown that microplastics easily enter the food chain and accumulate in the food we eat, such
as fish and shellfish. When we ingest seafood we are also ingesting large amounts of microplastics. Unless
plastic pollution is addressed, this problem will likely worsen, with greater amounts of plastic waste ending
up in the ocean each year. This may lead to an increase in the prevalence of diseases and illnesses linked
with microplastic exposure.
Question 1. Which of the following best serves the title of the passage?
A. Plastic Pollution B. Research on Plastic Waste
C. Forms of Microplastics D. Microplastics
Question 2. The word ‘detect’ in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.

Question 3. Microplastics is dangerous for human health because they can cause ______.
A. cancer and psychological illnesses B. reduced fertility
C. birth defects D. all of the above
Question 4. What does the phrase ‘this problem’ in the third paragraph refers to?
A. Microplastics enter the food chain. B. We eat seafood such as fish and shellfish.
C. Microplastics accumulate in the food we eat. D. None of the above
Question 5. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. There are more and more microplastics in our environment.
B. Toxic chemicals such as neurotoxins, carcinogens, and endocrine disrupters can be found in plastics.
C. The researchers at Arizona State University showed that microplastics were detectable in most of the
tissues sampled.
D. Greater amounts of plastic waste in the ocean may lead to an increase in diseases and illnesses.
Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Being environmentally conscious is not all about plastic bags; it’s about making a lot of everyday
choices. People can be more environmentally conscious through many actions.
Firstly, recycling conserves natural resources, reduces pollution and saves energy. Recycling
involves sorting and cleaning up trash to produce “secondary materials” - mainly glass, paper, metaland
plastic-for reuse in products. Recycled aluminium, for example, is a particularly valuable resource;
manufacturing using recycled aluminium is 92% more efficient than when unused raw materials are used,
according to the Aluminum Association. About 40% of the country’s aluminium supply comes from
recycling, but people are still throwing away nearly $1 billion worth of aluminium cans that could have
been recycled every year.
Secondly, people should pay attention to plastic bags. They take hundreds of years to break down
and cause a particular threat to wildlife. Hundreds of thousands of marine mammals die every year after
mistaking plastic bags as food. Many animals get trapped in plastic bags and die. Therefore, people can
decline the number of them when they bring their own bags. Use and reuse all those bags - paper, plastic,
cloth - whether or not they are designed to be “reusable.” If they become too old to carry new purchases,
use them to pick up litter. And, finally, dispose of them properly - recycle them if you can.
