One of the 7 wonders of the ancient world, the great pyramid of Giza was a
monument of wisdom and prophecy built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheop in 1720 BC.
Despite its antiquity, certain aspects of this construction makes it truly one of the truly
great wonders of the world. The thirteen – acre structure near the Nile river is a solid
mass of stone blocks covered with limestone. Inside are a number of hidden
passageways and the burial chamber for the pharaoh. It is the largest single structure in
the world. The 4 sides of the pyramid are aligned almost exactly on true north, south,
east and west – an incredible engineering feat. The ancient Egyptians were sun
worshipers and great astronomers, so computations for the great pyramid were based on
astronomical observations.
Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many
intersecting lines. Further scientific study indicates that these represent type of timeline
of events – past, present and future. Many of the events have been interpreted and found
to coincide with known facts of the past. Others are prophesied for future generations

powers, and this one is no exception. Some researchers even associate with its

1 Everyday life today is much more complicated than that in the past. Even in

4 feel confused and dissatisfied. We all know that it is important to achieve a

12 become much more materialistic. Many people set them some certain goals

III. Read the passage then choose the best answer to each question that follows. Identify

In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America
and Europe, recycling is big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and
discovering new ways to be sensitive to the environment. Recycling means finding ways
to use products a second time. The motto of the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse,
and Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister
packs, boxes and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant
comes in lots of packaging: usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted
resources. People should try to buy things that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups
and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-quality products. When low
quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new ones - a loss
of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality
appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message.
In the same way, if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer
sends an important message to the manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway
must stop.
The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable
bottles. After customers, empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The
manufacturers of the drinks collect the bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The
energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In some parts of the world,
returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage dumps
have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step is being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be
cleaned and used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same
amount of energy to make one aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three
hours. When people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of
the world's precious resources.
71: What is the main topic of the passage?
A. what is involved in the recycling movement
B. how to live sensitively to the environment.
C. what people often understand about the term 'recycle'
D. how to reduce garbage disposal

A. reuse cups B. buy fewer hamburgers
C. buy high-quality product D. buy simply-wrapped things
74: Why is it a waste when customers buy low-quality products?
A. Because they produce less energy.
B. Because they have to be repaired many times.
C. Because people will soon throw them away.
D. Because customers change their ideas all the time.
75: The word 'motto' is closest in meaning to _______.
A. reference B. meaning C. value D. belief
76: What best describes the process of reuse?
A. The bottles are collected, returned filled again and washed.
B. The bottles are collected, washed, returned and filled again.
C. The bottles are filled again after being returned, collected and washed.
