 Trang 1/5 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. 
 Our lives are full of cardboard. The packaging of certain things we buy, from food products to 
electrical goods, is made of cardboard. In the UK, over 8 million tons of the stuff is produced every 
year just for packaging. It makes the things we buy more expensive, too. On average, 16% of the 
money we spend on a product is for the packaging. And where does the packaging usually end up? In 
the bin, of course, but hopefully that's the recycling bin not the rubbish bin! 
 Recycling cardboard is much more efficient than producing it in the first place. It takes 24% 
less energy and produces 50% less sulphur dioxide to recycle it. Recycled cardboard has some 
remarkable uses, too. Obviously, it ends up as packaging again, but it is also used as a building material. 
It isn't as expensive as traditional materials and it is often more accessible. Some innovative and 
environmentally friendly designers are actually using it to make furniture and buildings. 
 One such person is Japanese architect Shigeru Ban, who designed wonderful emergency 
shelters made of cardboard tubes. The first people to use these were the survivors of the appalling 
earthquake in Kobe, Japan, in 1995. Since then, they have been used in other places around the world 
after terrible natural disasters. Perhaps Ban's most outstanding design is his cardboard cathedral in 
Christchurch, New Zealand. His modem, eco-friendly cathedral for up to 700 people is a temporary 
replacement for the ancient cathedral that was damaged in the earthquake in February 2011 .

correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42. 
 What was, just a few days ago, the object of eager speculation among British children has 
become a reality. Schools are shut. For an unspecified period, learning will take place at home, except 
for a minority of pupils who are deemed to be vulnerable, or whose parents are key workers. Closing 
schools was a necessary step that should have been taken sooner, as it was in other countries. Across 
the world, school is part of the rhythm of life - for parents and teachers as well as pupils. Because of 
coronavirus, an estimated 800 million children globally are now having their education interrupted. 
 Some may welcome this, at least at first. Nobody wants to catch Covid-19, or be responsible for 
spreading it. With British schooling in preparation for primary school SATs, GCSEs and A-levels, 
lessons can be more like drills than investigations. Some parents have already begun sharing plans (and 
jokes) about homeschooling. However, most parents will feel less well equipped to teach older children.
