Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
The number of insects is declining rapidly and 41% of bug species face extinction, scientists say. "If
this massive decline continues, the ramifications are enormous," said Dave Goulson, a professor of biology
at the University of Sussex in the UK and the author of a new report on insect decline for the UK Wildlife
Trusts. "Three quarters of our crops depend on insect pollinators. Crops will begin to fail. We won't have
things like strawberries," Dave stated.
Collapses in bug populations have been reported in Germany and in Puerto Rico. And a global
scientific review published earlier this year estimated that, on average, the number of insects is declining by
2.5% each year, with more than 40% of insect species threatened with extinction. In North America, the
report said five bumblebee species have undergone massive declines in range and abundance in the last
25 years, with one, Franklin's bumblebee, going extinct.
According to Goulson, habitat loss was the biggest culprit in declining insect populations globally,
but pesticide use in farming and climate change were also contributing. However, the report says we can
all act as first responders and take relatively simple steps to help reverse what it describes as a "catastrophic
decline in the abundance and diversity of insects" such as mowing your lawn less frequently and allow part
of it to flower and avoiding using pesticides as well as encouraging others to do the same.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
Throwaway plastic has found its way into various aspects of our lives. As awareness of the
detrimental impacts that plastic can have on the environment has exploded in recent years, environmentally
friendly alternatives are becoming increasingly common.
Biodegradable plastics are one set of materials that are becoming a popular replacement as
consumers demand green alternatives. Rather than remaining stable for hundreds of years, biodegradable
plastics can be broken down by microbes in the air, chewed up and turned into biomass, water and carbon
dioxide. A smaller group of them are compostable, which means that not only are they broken down by
microbes, but they can also be turned into compost. Most biodegradable and compostable plastics are
made from plants rather than fossil fuels and depending on the application you need them for, there are
plenty to choose from.
The biggest potential area of impact for compostable plastics is in food service. From coffee cups
to sandwich packaging to takeaway containers, putting food in compostable plastics means that the plastic
and any food waste still stuck to it can be composted together. It’s a double win: reducing the amount of
plastic being sent to landfill and at the same time making sure food waste is returned to the soil, not left to
rot in landfill where it will release methane. By reducing the amount of traditional plastics that contaminate
food waste, we can at least ensure that some of that wasted food is eventually used as compost, rather
than ending up in landfill or incineration.
There are some other applications suited to biodegradables, too. Traditionally, farmers in Europe
have used sheets made from polyethylene mulch over crops to prevent weeds growing and to conserve
water, with around half of this plastic ending up in landfill after it’s used. But since 2018, a new European
biodegradability standard for these mulches means that farmers can buy plastic that they can plough back
into the field safe in the knowledge that it will break down and not harm the soil. Industry, too, is beginning
to use bio-lubricants used to keep machines running smoothly rather than fossil fuel-based ones. Progress
made by countries like Italy – where single-use bags for produce and baked goods must be compostable,
and can be recycled as part of widespread food waste collections – shows that solutions to some of our
plastic problems are indeed possible.

Question 44: The word “exploded” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to __________.


A. soared B. ascended C. fluctuated D. diminished
Question 45: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. People have found uses for biodegradable materials in fields other than agriculture.
B. Before 2018, European farmers were banned from ploughing plastic back into fields.
C. Italy is the first country where single-use bags for baked goods must be compostable.
D. Compared with fossil fuel-based lubricants, bio-lubricants are not as effective.
Question 46: The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to ___________.
A. plants B. plastics C. fossil fuels D. microbes

A. publicize B. reveal C. emit D. free
Question 48: According to paragraph 3, all of the following are benefits of using compostable plastic in food
service EXCEPT __________.
A. Less plastic and food waste will be sent to landfills to rot.
B. Plastic and food waste can be composted simultaneously.
C. Food waste will release less methane into the atmosphere.
D. Traditional plastics will no longer contaminate food waste.
Question 49: According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Biodegradable plastics are much more effective and common than throwaway plastics.
B. All biodegradable plastics are made from plants, which makes them compostable.
C. Wasted food will release methane if they are put in traditional plastic bags.
