There is no best way to manage pests in agriculture. Commonly used pesticides can cause many problems. I think combining various management operations is the most effective way to control pests. First, the chemicals in pesticides can accumulate as residues in the environment and in the soil that absorbs them. This reduces the quality of agricultural products. Second, pests can gradually develop resistance to pesticides. This requires the development of newer, more potent pesticides.

Finally, some pesticides affect non-target plants and animals such as fish and bees. This also affects the ecology and environment. Therefore, understanding the ecology of an area is very helpful in pest control. Pesticides must be selected and applied carefully to avoid affecting the ecological and environmental balance.

Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and effective option for combating pests in agriculture and livestock.

15. Which of the following is not directly affected by the pesticides used?

A. Plants

B. Ecology

C. Animals

D. Environment

E. Humans

16. One disadvantage of using chemical pesticides is…

A. killing fish and bees

B. increasing crop productivity

C. creating a balanced ecosystem

D. causing pests to become inactive

E. helping to reduce pollutants in the environment

17. What can you say about the second and fourth paragraphs?

A. The fourth paragraph supports the idea stated in the second paragraph. B. Both paragraphs discuss the disadvantages of pesticide use.

C. Both paragraphs discuss how pesticides affect the quality of agricultural products.

D. The statement in this paragraph contradicts the statement in the fourth paragraph.

E. The second paragraph discusses the impact of pesticide use on the animals mentioned in the fourth paragraph.

Recycling is a collection, processing, and reuse of materials that would otherwise be thrown away. Materials ranging from precious metals to broken glass, from old newspapers to plastic spoons, can be recycled. The recycling process reclaims the original material and uses it in new products.

In general, using recycled materials to make new products costs less and requires less energy than using new materials. Recycling can also reduce pollution, either by reducing the demand for high-pollution alternatives or by minimizing the amount of pollution produced during the manufacturing process.

Paper products that can be recycled include cardboard containers, wrapping paper, and office paper. The most commonly recycled paper product is newsprint. In newspaper recycling, old newspapers are collected and searched for contaminants such as plastic bags and aluminum foil. The paper goes to a processing plant where it is mixed with hot water and turned into pulp in a machine that works much like a big kitchen blender. The pulp is screened and filtered to remove smaller contaminants. The pulp then goes to a large vat where the ink separates from the paper fibers and fl oats to the surface. The ink is skimmed off, dried and reused as ink or burned as boiler fuel. The cleaned pulp is mixed with new wood fibers to be made into paper again.

Experts estimate the average office worker generates about 5 kg of wastepaper per month. Every ton of paper that is recycled saves about 1.4 cu m (about 50 cu ft) of landfill space. One ton of recycled paper saves 17 pulpwood trees (trees used to produce paper).

24. The following things can be recycled, EXCEPT….

A. Precious metals

B. Broken glass

C. Old newspapers

D. Plastic spoons

E. Fresh vegetables and fruits

25. Which of the following is NOT the benefit of recycling?

A. It costs much money for the process of recycling

B. It costs less to make new products

C. It requires less energy

D. It can reduce pollution

E. It reduces the demand for high-pollution alternatives

26. What is the third step of recycling paper products?

A. Collect and search for contaminants such as plastic bags and aluminium foil

B. Mix the paper with hot water in a blender which turns it into pulp

C. Screen and filter the pulp to remove smaller contaminants

D. Put the pulp to a large vat to separate the ink from the paper fibres

E. Mix the pulp with new wood fibres to be made into paper again

II. ESSAY

Have you ever wondered how people get chocolate from? In this article we’ll enter the amazing world of chocolate so you can understand exactly what you’re eating.

Chocolate starts with a tree called the cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial regions, especially in places such as South America, Africa, and Indonesia. The cacao tree produces a fruit about the size of a small pine apple. Inside the fruit are the tree’s seeds, also known as cocoa beans.

The beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun and then shipped to the chocolate maker. The chocolate maker starts by roasting the beans to bring out the flavour. Different beans from different places have different qualities and flavor, so they are often sorted and blended to produce a distinctive mix. Next, the roasted beans are winnowed. Winnowing removes the meat nib of the cacao bean from its shell. Then, the nibs are blended. The blended nibs are ground to make it a liquid. The liquid is called chocolate liquor. It tastes bitter. All seeds contain some amount of fat, and cacao beans are not different. However, cacao beans are half fat, which is why the ground nibs form liquid. It’s pure bitter chocolate.
