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.
