One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water. Having clean drinking water is a basic human right. But acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage have made many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools of poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world. It contains a rich variety of animals and plants, including 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world. But they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial wastes which pour into the lake every day. Even where law existed, the government did not have the power to enforce them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world’s water surface. But it is the dumping ground for 50% of all marine pollution. Almost 16 countries regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles off shore.
Water is free to everyone. A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean water in the world was limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and sewage. Clean water is now scarce, and we are at last beginning to respect this precious source. We should do something now.
29. One environmental problem in the world today is ________.
A. acid rain C. safe water shortage
B. industrial pollution D. population explosion
30. Which of the following is NOT the reason that makes water undrinkable?
A. acid rain C. garbage
B. industrial pollution D. high cost
31. What is a serious problem of Lake Baikal in Russia?
A. It contains a rich variety of animals and plants.
B. It is polluted by massive volumes of industrial wastes discharged into it.
C. It has 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world.
D. The government did not have the power to enforce laws and regulations.
32. How many countries throw industrial wastes into the Mediterranean Sea regularly?
A. exactly 16 B. exactly 15 C. nearly 16 D. less than 15

- Choose the best item to answer the question about the passage:
In the UK we each use about two hundred steel food and drink cans every year. Steel cans are popular because they are convenient, easy to store and unbreakable. But when you have finished with a can what do you do with it? Do you throw it away and forget all about it? Probably! But behind the scenes there are people whose job is to make sure that the steel is never wasted. In fact, recycling or re – using steel cans is so successful that every day of the year more than five million cans start new lives in new steel products.
After you have thrown away your can, what happens? Well, first of all it is collected by the men who empty your dustbin each week and taken to a tip, together with all the other household rubbish. Then the rubbish is sorted and the steel cans are taken separately to a special factory which turns old cans into high quality steel. It’s this steel that may well find its way back into your home in the form of knives and folks, garden equipment and, of course, food and drink cans.

Southeast Asia.
There is always plenty to do in Bangkok any time of the day or night from watching Thai dancing or
