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 from 31 to 35.
In the past, people tended to classify things as either worth something or worthless. Household, office, and
industrial waste, seen as worthless, was usually burned or buried in landfills. However, as landfills fill up, the planet
heats up, and energy and raw material prices go up, we are rethinking what we consider" waste" and "pollution." New
technologies are making it possible to reuse waste materials, and businesses are finding ways to not only throw away
less, but to turn trash into cash.
Recycling is the most widespread form of waste reuse. Not only does it save governments money by reducing
spending on landfills, but it also helps companies and individuals lower garbage disposal costs. Another type of waste,
organic material, has a clear economic value. Scientists have developed ways to turn vegetables, grains into biofuel.
Through creative efforts, other waste materials are being turned into completely new products. An interesting
example is EaKo, a UK- based company which makes beautiful bags and wallets from used fire hoses. On the other side
of the world, a local government effort in the Philippines to turn old plastic bags and other materials into construction
blocks.
Even factories are finding opportunities to increase profits in Earth-friendly ways. As goods are produced,
factories often generate large amounts of heat and gas, which are then released into the air. Yet by refitting a plant, it
is possible to capture these materials and turn them into energy, which the factory can then reuse. Excess energy can
even be sold to power companies for a profit. Recaptured energy from US factories could meet 20% of the country's
power needs.

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 front 44 to 50.
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre is a popular topic for people interested in theater and history. However, the Globe
Theatre as we know it today is not the same building that was used originally. In fact, the Globe was situated in many
different places during its long history.
When the rental agreement on the original location ended, one of the actors bought a theater called the
Blackfriars, which was located in another part of town. However, many complaints from neighbors and the town
council led to the creation of a petition that requested that the acting group move their company out of town. Upset
with this news, the actors returned to the original theater, took most of it apart, and then moved the materials across
the Thames River to Bankside, where they proceeded to construct the next version of the Globe.
This endeavor, though, did not go so smoothly. The owner of the original Globe Theatre, who had rented it to the
actors, took the acting group to court. He wanted the actors to pay for the damage they had done to his building. In the
end, however, the actors won the case and continued to construct their “newly- acquired” theater. Later, the actors
split their plays between the original theater and the new Globe.
In 1643, the original Globe Theatre burned to the ground. Historians believe that a cannon that was shot during a
performance of the play Henry Vill started a large fire. Yet, the Globe Theatre still survived. A new Globe was later
completed on the same site before Shakespeare's death. However, it was shut down by the Puritans in 1642 because it
could not sell tickets and later destroyed during the English Civil War of 1643.
In May of 1997, Queen Elizabeth II officially opened a newly constructed version of the Globe with a production
of Henry V. This is the Globe Theatre that people visit today. The queen wanted the new theater to be much like the old
one. The new model is very similar to the original theater. For instance, it is also a three-story building. Also, it has
seating for 1,500 people and an area called the “yard” on the lower level. In its first season, the theater attracted
210,000 people.
