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 from 31 to 36.
Plastic is so frequently used today that it's hard to imagine life without it. However, plastic has a
serious impact on the environment. Unlike paper, fruit peel, or fabric, it can take more than 400 years
for plastic to break down. Therefore, fish often mistake plastic debris for food and eat it, leading to
deadly health problems. Animals and marine creatures can also become trapped in plastic objects
which then make it hard for them to move, eat or even breathe. Moreover, plastic pollution can
release toxic chemicals into the ecosystem, which can negatively impact both wildlife and human
health. However, there are many simple things that we can all do to help put a stop to plastic
pollution. First, reduce the amount of plastic that we consume. Avoid using straws or plastic
takeaway cups, and say no to plastic bags at the store. Take along a fabric bag instead. Second, we
need to reuse the plastic items that we already have. Wash plastic containers and refill them. Use a
lunch box rather than wrapping meals in cling film. Lastly, recycle as much of your waste as possible.
Question 31. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Plastic usage and its effects. B. Plastic pollution and marine creatures.
C. The importance of reducing plastic pollution. D. The plastic problem and what you can do to
help.

Question 33. Which word in the passage is CLOSEST in meaning to “consume”?
