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 following questions.
The world’s desire for plastic is dangerous
A million plastic bottles are purchased around the world every minute and the number
will jump another 20% by 2021, creating an environmental crisis some campaigners predict
will be as serious as climate change. The demand, equivalent to about 20,000 bottles being
bought every second, is driven by an apparently insatiable desire for bottled water and the
spread of a western, urbanized culture to China and the Asia Pacific region.
Most plastic bottles, which are used for soft drinks and water, are made from Pet plastic,
which is highly recyclable. But as their use grows rapidly across the globe, efforts to collect
and recycle the bottles to keep them from polluting the oceans, are failing to keep up. For
instance, fewer than half of the bottles bought in 2016 were collected for recycling and just 7%
of those collected were turned into new bottles. Instead most plastic bottles produced end up in
rubbish dumps or in the ocean.
Whilst the production of single use plastics has grown dramatically over the last 20
years, the systems to contain, control, reuse and recycle them just haven’t kept pace. In the UK
38.5 million plastic bottles are used every day – only just over half make it to recycling, while
more than 16 million are put into rubbish dumps, burnt or leak into the environment and
oceans each day. “Plastic production is set to double in the next 20 years and grow by 4 times
that by 2050 so the time to act is now,” according to environmentalist. There has been growing
concern about the impact of plastics pollution in oceans around the world. Last month
scientists found nearly 18 tonnes of plastic on one of the world’s most remote islands, an
uninhabited place in the South Pacific.
Câu 36: Every second, approximately how many plastic bottles are purchased on the planet?
A. twelve thousand B. twenty thousand
C. fifteen million D. thirty-eight million
Câu 37: Most plastic bottles that aren’t recycled are ____________.
A. set fire to B. put into boats at sea
C. put into garbage tips D. sent to companies
Câu 38: The majority of plastic bottles are used for ____________.
A. storage B. soft drinks and water
C. recycling D. reusing
Câu 39: What is the percentage of plastic bottles recycled in Britain?
A. 20% B. 51% C. 7% D. 100%
