Read the following passage about meat consumption and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer
sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
Many people enjoy diets that are rich in meat and dairy products. But experts warn that we cannot
continue in this trend for long. The current demand for food products that come from animals is not
sustainable, and future generations are going to have to change their eating habits.
One major reason why this trend is unsustainable is the amount of water required. It takes a lot
more water to feed animals than it does to grow grains. For example, fifteen cubic meters of water is
needed to produce a kilogram of beef, whereas a kilo of cereals needs less than three cubic meters. It also
takes more water to process the meat and to refrigerate it. The meat industry consumes over half of
all water used for all purposes in the United States, and most of this water is used to irrigate cattle
feedlots.
Not only does meat production use up a lot of water, it also causes water pollution and affects
land. Waste from livestock contains high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus. These chemicals pollute the
groundwater and waterways. The percentage of U.S. agricultural land used to produce meat is 56%. The
strains on land include topsoil erosion and depletion of forested areas.
This industry is also subsidized by the government. Therefore, the price paid for meat doesn’t
reflect the environmental hazards involved in the process. As a result, most people are unaware of the
negative impact the production of meat has on the environment, as well as how much it depletes the
resources so badly needed for the future. Because it is not reflected in the cost, many people remain
unaware of these facts. Furthermore, many producers tend to ignore these facts in order to continue
making a profit.
(Adapted from Mastering skills for TOEFL iBT)

A. water contamination B. forest loss
C. topsoil erosion D. air pollution

Read the following passage about lifelong learning and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer
sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
[I] In 2015, Doreetha Daniels received her associate degree in social sciences from College of the
Canyons, in Santa Clarita, California. [II] But Daniels wasn’t a typical student: She was 99 years old.
[III] In the press release about her graduation, Daniels indicated that she wanted to get her degree simply
to better herself; her six years of school during that pursuit were a testament to her will, determination,
and commitment to learning. [IV]
As we age, learning isn’t simply about earning degrees or attending storied institutions. Books,
online courses, professional development programs, podcasts, and other resources have never been more
abundant or accessible, making it easier than ever to make a habit of lifelong learning. Every day, each of
us is offered the opportunity to pursue intellectual development in ways that are tailored to our learning
style.
Educational investments are an economic imperative. The links between formal education and
lifetime earnings are well-studied and substantial. Outside of universities, ongoing learning and skill
development is essential to surviving economic and technological disruption. As many jobs are expected
to disappear due to new technology, keeping up with these changes requires constant learning and self-
improvement.
Learning is also positive for health. Reading, even for short periods of time, can dramatically
reduce your stress levels. A recent report in Neurology noted that while cognitive activity can’t change the
biology of Alzheimer’s, it can help delay symptoms, preserving people’s quality of life. Other research
indicates that learning to play a new instrument can offset cognitive decline, and learning difficult new
skills in older age is associated with improved memory. What’s more, there’s a well-studied
relationship between longevity and education. Studies suggest that a year of formal education can add
