13.: The struggle to save the food supply from damage did not end with Silent Spring. 11 For example, in order to increase the protein in cattle, people began to alter the diet of cows. Cows do not eat meat in their natural surroundings, but farm industries in many countries began feeding cows the ground-up parts of dead sheep. 12 According to them, this harmful process, begun by humans for greater profits, led to outbreaks of “mad cow disease” in the United States. This was a misfortune for the beef industry. Farmers also often feed large amounts of antibiotics and hormones to their animals to make them stronger. 13 This is harmful to us all because human diseases are becoming less responsive to antibiotics, and the hormones are not good for children. Recently, food manufacturers in the United States have developed a new method of irradiating food to kill bacteria. 14 The dangers to the food supply depicted by the environmental movement have led many people to buy only natural products from organic farms, which do not use chemical pesticides. 15 People in many countries are puzzled about how to carry on the legacy of being responsible for the environment, which is the message of Silent Spring.
(A): Many scientists believe that some cows’ nervous systems were stricken by a sheep disease called scrapie.
(B): The need to maintain a prosperous agricultural economy has led to many difficulties.
(C): Many people want to ban irradiated food because they are not sure such food is safe.
(D): But organic foods are expensive and hard to find.

18.: Sit down in an airport main concourse today and you’ll catch a glimpse of what makes the modern world tick. On a personal level, families reunite and adventures begin amid the swirl of our rapidly globalizing world. As for technology, one witnesses a marvel here as we conquer the skies.
Denver International Airport (DIA), one of the largest (it covers 54 square miles) and fifth busiest airport in USA (in 2013, 25.5 million people passed under its unique tented roof), was the first U.S. airport to develop a comprehensive plan to manage environmental impact and the first to meet national and international sustainability standards.
DIA marked another first when it earned membership in the Environmental Protection Agency’s Performance Track for excelling in protecting human health and the environment. Meanwhile, the Colorado Department of Public Health has recognized DIA for 10 years running as a Colorado Environmental Gold Leader for voluntarily going beyond compliance with state and federal regulations and for its continual environmental improvement.
Throughout these efforts and accolades, natural gas vehicles have been a key component of sustainability efforts at the airport. Using compressed natural gas (CNG) in DIA’s 221 natural gas vehicles saves more than $135,000 each year in fuel costs. Based on the savings and overall success, the airport plans to add 25 to 50 more natural gas vehicles soon.
“We continue to invest in initiatives that reduce our carbon footprint and are financially viable, which assures their perpetuity even in times of economic downturn,” said airport CEO Kim Day. “Natural gas is a key part of our energy portfolio, as it provides a lower-cost and more environmentally friendly solution for many of our operations.”
Airport leaders recognize that DIA is not alone in a growing reliance on natural gas− other members of this little city, passengers, also may rely on the clean energy to power their vehicles. DIA provides public access for compressed natural gas fueling at rental car fueling stations.
One gallon equivalent of natural gas is a little less than one-half the cost of one gallon of diesel fuel, so the cost savings are significant. CNG burns much cleaner than other fuels. CNG vehicles are better for the environment. Users’ experience with CNG buses has been positive and they would certainly consider using more of CNG technology for future vehicles at the airport.

What does the “marvel” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
(A): A family reunion.
(B): The use of natural gas vehicles.
(C): A new airport concourse.
(D): The adventures made by travelers.

19.: Which of the following is true about DIA?
(A): It’s the fifth largest airport in the U.S.
(B): It’s criticized for its poor environmental management.
(C): It provides CNG fueling at car rental stations.
(D): It has met national, but not international, sustainability standards.

20.: What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
(A): The developmental history of DIA.
(B): The major features in the construction of DIA.
(C): The roles of DIA and Colorado Department of Public Health.
(D): DIA’s excellence in environmental protection.

21.: Which of the following is NOT true about CNG vehicles in DIA?
(A): More purchase of such vehicles will be made.
(B): There are more than 200 natural gas vehicles in DIA.
(C): Each vehicle saves DIA $135,000 a year in fuel cost.
(D): They release less carbon than vehicles powered by diesel fuel.

22.: Which of the following words means “endless duration or existence”?
(A): perpetuity
(B): compliance
(C): initiatives
(D): accolades

23.: In the cooking show “MasterChef,” the audience remember the big smile that lit up Christine Ha’s face every time she impressed the judges with her bold flavors—and especially when her three-course meal of Vietnamese comfort food won the “MasterChef ” title. What casual viewers may not have realized right away is that the amateur cook from Houston, Texas, is blind. In 2003, Ha was diagnosed with a rare neurological condition that deteriorates the optic nerves and spinal cord. By 2007, Ha had lost most of her vision. But she had regained her love of reading, with help from the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS). “NLS reignited my love for literature. It was what kept me sane when I went through the challenging treatment,” says Ha. “When I went through some of my worst health issues—complete paralysis from my neck down due to spinal inflammation, and complete blindness—all I could do was lie in bed and listen to NLS audio books.” NLS, part of the Library of Congress, oversees a free reading program for U.S. residents and citizens living abroad who are blind, have low vision, or cannot hold a book because of a physical disability. NLS patrons may choose from tens of thousands of books and dozens of magazines in audio and braille—including dozens of cookbooks. NLS also loans the portable playback equipment needed to read its audio books. Computer-savvy patrons may access books online through the NLS Braille and Audio Reading Download (BARD) service. Ha, who is pursuing a master of fine arts degree at the University of Houston, always has a book checked out from NLS. Recently she was reading Gail Caldwell’s Let’s Take the Long Way Home in braille. And she is currently working on her “MasterChef ” cookbook, which is set for a spring 2013 release.
