the passage.
From questions 23 to 28 mark A, B or C on your Answer Sheet.

Biofuels and the enviornment.

Leading investors have joined the growing chorus of concern about governments and
companies rushing into producing biofuels as a solution for global warming, saying that
many involved in the sector could be jeopardising future profits if they do not consider
the
long-term
impact
of
what
they
are
doing
carefully.
It is essential to build sustainability criteria into the supply chain of any green fuel
project in order to ensure that there is no adverse effect on the surrounding
environment and social structures. The report produced by the investors expresses
concern that many companies may not be fully aware of the potential pitfalls in the
biofuel
sector.
Production of corn and soya beans has increased dramatically in the last years as an
eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels but environmental and human rights campaigners
are worried that this will lead to destruction of rain forests. Food prices could also go up
as there is increased competition for crops as both foodstuffs and sources of fuel. Last
week, the UN warned that biofuels could have dangerous side effects and said that
steps need to be taken to make sure that land converted to grow biofuels does not
damage the environment or cause civil unrest. There is already great concern about
palm oil, which is used in many foods in addition to being an important biofuel, as rain
forests are being cleared in some countries and people driven from their homes to
create
palm
oil
plantations.
An analyst and author of the investors' report says that biofuels are not a cure for
climate change but they can play their part as long as governments and companies
manage the social and environmental impacts thoroughly. There should also be greater
measure taken to increase efficiency and to reduce demand.

23. ________are worried about the boom in biofuels.

A. Few people

B. Many people

C. Only these leading investors.

24. Biofuels producers________know about the posible problems.

A. Do not
B. might not
C. must not

25. Enviormentalist belive that increased production of corn and soya

A. Has destroyed raindforest.
B. May lead to the destruction of rainforest.
C. Will lead to the destruction of rainforest.
26. Biofuels might
A. Drive food prices up
B. Drive food prices down
C. Have Little or no impact on food prices.
27. The increased production of palm oil
A. Just affects the enviornment
B. Just affects people
C. Affects both people and enviornment
28. The autor of the report says that biofuels
A. Have no role to play on fighting global warming
B. Can be effective on fighting global warming on their own
C. Should be part of a group of measures to fight global warming
