G-TELP LEVEL 2 SAMPLE TEST
Reading and Vocabulary Section
You will read four passages. Each passage is followed by comprehension and vocabulary questions. From the four choices for each item, choose the best answer. Then blacken in the correct circle on your answer sheet.
PART 3. Read the following encyclopedia article and answer the questions. The underlined words in the article are for vocabulary questions.
=============================================================================================================
PLASTICS
Plastics are any of numerous organic synthetic or processed materials that can be formed into various products. Their molecules consist of large, long carbon chains that give them their many unique and highly useful properties. Materials made up of these extended chainlike molecules are generally known as polymers.
The word plastic comes from the words plasticus (Latin for “capable of molding”) and plastikos (Greek for “to mold” or “fit for molding”). Materials made of plastics can be made as strong as steel, as transparent as glass , as light as wood, and as elastic as rubber. They can also be take on almost any color desired, and can be alloyed to generate more useful varieties. To date, over 50 families of plastics have already been produced, and new types are currently under development.
Synthetic plastics are a relatively new invention, but natural plastics have been in use for thousands of years. The ancient Egyptians engaged in the practice of wrapping their mummies in burial cloths soaked in resins, which are gum-like or semisolid substances. Several other cultures likewise used natural resin-bearing animal horns and turtle shells to produce spoons, combs, and buttons. During the middle of the 19th century, shellac (a substance secreted by the insect called lac) was used in molding small cases, phonograph records, and mirror frames. Scientists late in the 19th century created many more types of plastics in the laboratory and developed more efficient ways of producing them. Among the major contributors to the development of plastics was Leo Baekeland, who created phenolic resin, which is also called Bakelite . This material has been used in making telephones, pot handles, and several other products. By the 1930s, German, British, and American companies had begun to produce water-soluble, flexible, and durable polymers called acrylics.
Now indispensable to modern life, plastic are used extensively in such industries as automobile and aircraft manufacturing, food packaging, and health care. Extremely useful as they are, however, plastics also have disadvantages. Some plastics produce noxious fumes when burned, and their use has led to a growing garbage problem in many parts of the world. To address this, such ways as reducing plastics consumption and recycling plastic wastes are now being pursued.
