2. It’s no secret that our planet is suffering because of pollution. But did you know that there are nearly 270,000 tons of plastic floating in the world’s oceans? In one part of the ocean there is so much plastic that it has even got a name; the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. What is especially worrying is that this plastic doesn’t break down. It breaks up into smaller and smaller pieces, but it never disappears. All this plastic is very dangerous for the creatures that make the sea their home. Sea birds and sea turtles eat things like plastic bags because they believe that they are food and die as a result. Also, the tiny pieces of plastic contain toxic chemicals and this affects the sea’s food chain. Small fish eat these tiny pieces releasing the chemicals into their bodies. These chemicals then pass up the food chain eventually reaching our dinner tables. Luckily, there are things we can do to address the problem. First of all, if we use less plastic, we will reduce the amount of plastic rubbish that we throw away. Furthermore, every person has to take responsibility for what they do throw away. If every one recycled more of their plastic rubbish, then there would be less of it to pollute the land and sea. Finally, more people should support conservation groups who are working to clean up our polluted beaches. If everyone works together, then we can protect our oceans and marine life. Question 31: The word “that” in the second paragraph refers to ___. A. pieces B. creatures C. things D. birds Question 32: According to the passage, the number of plastic floating in the world’s oceans is ___ tons. A. nearly 27,000 B. over 270,000 C. nearly 270,000 D. more than 270,000 Question 33: The word “ address ” in the second paragraph means ___. A. speak B. write C. solve D. avoid Question 34: According to the second paragraph, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a species that mistake plastic bags for food? A. sea birds B. sea turtles C. small fish D. blue whales Question 35: What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Environmental pollution B. Plastic bags and their benefits C. Plastic bags: effects and solutions D. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch 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 from 36 to 42. We drink lots of beverages in our daily lives. Advertisements tell us we should choose beverages like diet soda and energy drinks. But are these really healthy choices? Diet soda is like normal soda, but it is sweetened with artificial sweeteners instead of sugar. As a result, it does not contain any calories. Diet soda is advertised as a healthier option than regular soda. However, new studies show a link between obesity and diet soda. It is thought that calorie-free sweeteners may cause cravings for sugar, just like sugar itself does. Scientists also think artificial sweeteners might cause problems with the signals that tell our brains we are full. Aside from weight gain, diet sodas could also be responsible for heart disease, diabetes, and other diseases. Because of the way energy drinks are advertised, people think that they will improve alertness or performance in sports. However, when consumers use energy drinks, they are not always aware of what they are putting into their bodies. Caffeine intake is a particular problem when it comes to energy drinks. Most people are not aware of how much caffeine such beverages contain. Some can deliver a dose of over 500 milligrams, the same as 14 cans of soda. Consuming large amounts of caffeine is not safe, and it is certainly not healthy. Scientific studies suggest that there is a link between the consumption of energy drinks and anxiety, sleep problems, and increased heart rate and blood pressure. In certain cases, where young athletes have a particularly serious workout schedule, energy drinks may provide some benefit. But for everyone else, water and a balanced diet are best. The truth is, diet soda and energy drinks may not be as healthy as advertised. It is important to know that drinking too much of these types of beverages can be risky. Question 36: What is the passage mainly about? A. Reasons to avoid beverages containing caffeine B. How to advertise diet soda and energy drinks Mã đề 234 | 3
