11. A. many B. lots C. much D. plentyIII. Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question (5 pts)PLANET EARTHThe Planet Earth is 4,600 million years old. It is difficult for us to think about such an enormous length oftime because it has little meaning for us. We can, however, simplify the idea to make it more understandable. Wecan compare the planet Earth to a person of forty-six years of age.Nothing is known about the first seven years of this person’s life. Very little information exists about themiddle period either. It was only at the age of forty-two that the Earth began to flower.Dinosaurs and reptiles did not appear until one year ago, when the planet was forty-five. Mammals onlyarrived eight months ago. In the middle of last week, man-like apes became ape-like men and began tocommunicate with each other. Last weekend, the Ice Age coverd the Earth.Modern man has only been around for four hours. During the last hour man discovered agriculture. TheIndustrial Revolution and the rise of large cities began just sixty seconds ago.During that short time. Modern man has made a rubbish tip of the Earth. In one minute, he has increasedhis numbers to terrible proportions, and has caused the death of hundreds of species of animals. He has robbed anddestroyed the planet in his search for fuels. Now he stands, like a violent, spoilt child, delighted killing all the lifewith exists in the solar system.
