VI. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
Many countries, particularly the developing ones, have more natural resources than they need for their own use. These countries have made use of their raw materials by selling them to buy technological goods that they are unable to produce for themselves. Few nations have been willing to consider that these resources would come to an end. However, with increasing consumption and such unreasonable methods of harvesting as clearing, strip mining, the world’s stock of resources has been disappearing rapidly.The world is now conscious that natural resources are not only vanishing but also having serious effects on our planet. Today, countries are seeking to develop policies that balance the need to protect and preserve the environment with the need for the economic development of their countries.Fining companies that contaminate or damage the environment helps to limit the use of chemicals and the consumption of raw materials so that they are used economically and efficiently. Enforcing realistic reforestation regulations results in the renewal of resources. Policies such as these will ensure that the earth supports the population without ecosystems being destroyed in the process.2
