For example, used paper can be<br /> turned into paperboard, which can be used to make book covers. Recycling can reduce pollution, save<br /> materials, and lower energy use. Yet, some argue that recycling wastes energy. They believe that<br /> collecting, processing, and converting waste uses more energy than it saves.<br /> Trang 3/6 - Mã đề thi 132<br /> <br /> Landfilling is the oldest method of managing waste. In its simplest form, landfilling is when people<br /> bury garbage in a hole. Landfills may pollute the local water supply. Not to mention that all of that<br /> garbage stinks. Nobody wants to live next to a landfill. This makes it hard to find new locations for<br /> landfills.<br /> Compositing is when people pile up organic matter, such as food waste, and allow it to decompose.<br /> The product of this decomposition is compost. Compost can be added to the soil to make the soil<br /> richer and better for growing crops. While composting is easy to do on-site somewhere, like home or<br /> school, it's hard to do after the garbage gets all mixed up. This is because plastic and other inorganic<br /> materials must be removed from the compost pile or they will pollute the soil. There's a lot of plastic in<br /> garbage, which makes it hard to compost on a large scale.<br /> One thing that is easier to do is burning garbage. There are two main ways to incinerate waste. The<br /> first is to create or harvest a fuel from the waste, such as methane gas, and burn the fuel. The second<br /> is to burn the waste directly. The heat from the incineration process can boil water, which can power<br /> steam generators. Unfortunately, burning garbage pollutes the air. Also, some critics worry that<br /> incinerators destroy valuable resources that could be recycled.<br /> Usually, the community in which you live manages waste. Once you put your garbage in that can,<br /> what happens to it is beyond your control. But you can make choices while it is still in your<br /> possession. You can choose to recycle, you can choose to compost, or you can choose to let someone<br /> else deal with it. The choice is yours.<br /> <br /> (Source: https://www.ereadingworksheets.com)<br /> Question 31: Which of the following is the best title of the passage?<br /> A.

Growth will continue at least until<br /> midcentury despite dramatic declines in the average number of children per woman, according to UN<br /> population division.<br /> Current estimates indicate that roughly 83 million people are being added to the world’s population<br /> every year. Even assuming that fertility levels will continue to decline, the global population is<br /> expected to reach 8.6 billion in 2030, 9.8 billion in 2050 and 11.2 billion in 2100, according to the<br /> medium-variant projection.<br /> The UN Population Division collaborates closely with the agencies, funds, programmes and bodies of<br /> the United Nations system in the implementation of the work programme on population and in the<br /> follow-up to the International Conference on Population and Development. United Nations missions,<br /> national Government offices, United Nations offices, researchers, media representatives and the public<br /> regularly consult the Population Division regarding population estimates and projections, and<br /> information and analyses on population and development issues.<br /> At its thirty-eighth session, the Statistical Commission requested the United Nations Statistics<br /> Division and other international agencies to increase their technical assistance to national statistical<br /> offices in order to strengthen national capacity for the implementation of the 2010 World Programme<br /> on Population and Housing Censuses.
