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.
E-waste is being produced on a scale never seen before. Computers and other
electronic equipment become obsolete in just a few years, leaving customers with
little choice but to buy newer ones to keep up. Millions of tons of computers, TVs,
smartphones, and other equipment are discarded each year. In most countries, all
65
this waste ends up in landfills, where it poisons the environment - e-waste contains
many toxic substances such as lead, mercury, and arsenic that leak into the ground.
Recycling is the ideal solution to the problem. E-waste contains significant
amounts of valuable metals like gold and silver that make it attractive to recycle.
In theory, recycling gold from old computers is more efficient - and less
environmentally destructive - than digging it from the earth. The problem is that a
large percentage of e-waste dropped off for recycling in wealthy countries is sold
and diverted to the developing world, posing an increasing threat to the health of
the people there.
To address the problem of the international trade in e-waste, 170 nations signed
the 1989 Basel Convention, an agreement requiring that developed nations notify
developing nations of hazardous waste shipments coming into their countries.
Then, in 1995 the Basel Convention was modified to ban hazardous waste
shipments to poor countries completely. Although the ban hasn’t taken effect the
European Union, where recycling infrastructure is well developed, has already
written it into their laws. One law holds manufacturers responsible for the safe
disposal of electronics they produce.
Companies like Creative Recycling Systems in Florida, the USA, are hoping to
profit from clean e-waste recycling. The key to their business is a huge, building-
size machine able to separate electronic products into their component materials.
As the machine’s steel teeth break up e-waste, all the toxic dust is removed from
the process. This machine can handle some 70,000 tons of electronics a year.
Although this is only a fraction of the total, it wouldn’t take many more machines
like this to process the entire USA’s output of high-tech trash.
Unfortunately, under current policies, domestic processing of e-waste is not
compulsory, and while shipping waste abroad is ethically questionable, it is still
more profitable than processing it safely in the USA. Creative Recycling Systems
is hoping that the US government will soon create laws deterring people from
sending e-waste overseas.

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.
The Internet is the largest library in the history of the world and a great
resource for anyone seeking information. But doing research on the Internet is not
without its risks. In recent years, plagiarism from online sources has become a
serious problem, especially among students.
Original written work and information are protected by copyright laws, like
original inventions. Therefore, when you reference or use information you find
while doing research, you should always give credit to the person or organization
that produced it. To plagiarize is to use ideas that are not your own without giving
credit to the original source, or to claim that someone else's ideas are your own. It
is akin to stealing someone else's work. For example, if a student reads three
articles and uses ideas from the articles to make his arguments in an essay without
quoting or citing from the original work, the student is plagiarizing.
Internet-related plagiarism has become such a problem because it is so easy to
find and copy information online. There are thousands of resources for students
who wish only to copy or cheat. However, the Internet also makes it easier for
educators to check for plagiarism. Often a simple Internet search for a quote will
be enough to expose copying. Some educators are more concerned about
unintended plagiarism. Because copying and pasting is so easy, it is becoming
more and more common for well-meaning students to mix up source material with
their original ideas. While this kind of plagiarism usually happens innocently, it is
still an offense.
Question 16: Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Enormous efforts made by educators to manage their students’ online works.
B. Plagiarism from online sources: A proactive approach to gleaning information.
C. Plagiarism in Education: An unexpected result from the ubiquity of the Internet.
D. The prevalence of plagiarizing one’s works at school among students nowadays.
Question 17: According to paragraph 2, when using one’s work, you should
...............................
A. ask for the owner’s permission B. inform the owner about your use
C. appreciate the work of the owner D. give the owner an amount of money
Question 18: The word “It” in paragraph 2 refers to ...............................
A. organization B. credit C. information D. research
68
Question 19: The phrase “akin to” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
...............................
A. similar to B. different from C. keen on D. interested in

Question 20: Which of the following is not TRUE according to the passage?
A. There are many ways for students to copy one’s work from online sources.
B. The combination between student’s ideas and source material is illicit.
C. The internet is something that has both advantages and disadvantages.
D. Copyright law is created to protect original works of authorship.
