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.

Question 36: Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. Natural Resources                                                  B. The Benefits of Green Living

C. The Effects of Climate Change                             D. A Healthy Environment

Question 37: The word “depleted” in paragraph 2 is opposite in meaning to ________.

A. run out          B. picked up    C. filled in                             D. searched for

Question 38: The word “This” in paragraph 3 refers to________.

A. the activity of releasing carbon dioxide and causing air pollution

B. the harmful effect of climate change

C. the reliance on fossil fuels

D. green living

Question 39: According to paragraph 2, natural resources ________.

A. are not precious to human on Earth                                   B. are hard to be conserved

C. has been used more and more since 1970s             D. can not disappear

Question 40: Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A. The well-being of the environment is as important as that of each person

B. Climate change is a problem because of the reliance on fossil fuels

C. Carbon dioxide contributes to air pollution
