For many years people believed that the cleverest animals after man were the
chimpanzees. Now, however, there is a proof that dolphins may be even cleverer
than these big apes. Although a dolphin lives in the sea, it is not a fish. It is a
mammal. It is in many ways, therefore, like a human being. Dolphins have a simple
language. They are able to talk to one another. It may be possible for man to learn
how to talk to dolphins. But, this will not be easy because dolphins cannot hear the
kind of sounds man can make. If man wants to talk to dolphins, therefore, he will
have to make a third language which both he and the dolphins can understand.
Dolphins are also very friendly toward man. They often follow ships. There are many
stories about dolphins guiding ships through difficult and dangerous waters.

Questions 82-83

Everybody should change their way of life to reduce global warming. There are
several things that we can do. One of them is by buying and consuming fresh local
groceries as much as possible. It of course includes local vegetables, fruits, bread,
etc.

Local groceries don’t need much transportation to get it into the market. It of course
means, the amount of carbon dioxide produced is less than the groceries from other
region. Therefore, by buying local groceries we are helping reduce the amount of
carbon dioxide produced.

Consuming fresh groceries instead of frozen ones are healthier for us. Furthermore,
fresh food or groceries means no requirements for it to be freeze up. It means that
no electricity is needed and saving energy means reducing carbon dioxide and
money. So, from now on we should consume fresh local groceries to reduce global
warming.

Europe due to the sizzling temperatures. France was particulary badly hit, with
nearly fifteen thousand death which were related to the sweltering heat. In Britain,

deaths.

how to protect their health.

Questions 101-102

Biodiesel is unsoiled burning another alternate for petroleum based diesel fuel. Biodiesel
is made of vegetable oil.

To make or manufacture Biodiesel, you must first start with raw materials. The raw
materials needed in the production of Biodiesel are a small amount of methanol and a
ready supply of vegetable product. One of the most familiar vegetables used in the
production of Biodiesel is corn, although depending on the geographic location of the
manufacturing facility many other plants are used as well (rapeseed, soybeans,
flaxseed, etc.). The first step is to use the raw vegetable product to make vegetable oil.
Vegetable oil by itself will not be what you need to power vehicles, from here it has to
be processed into Biodiesel.

The progression for converting vegetable oil into Biodiesel is sometimes called ester
interchange. To complete this process the vegetable oil has to be mixed with a smaller
amount of methanol and then put in the presence of a small quantity of an alkaline
catalyst (for example, 5% to 1% sodium hydroxide). Vegetable oil is made up of so-
called triglycerides, which is a compound of the trivalent alcohol glycerin with three
fatty acids. The goal of ester interchange is to separate the glycerin molecule from the
three fatty acids and replace it with three methanol molecules. This process then yields
roughly 90% Biodiesel and 10% of a glycerin byproduct. The glycerin byproduct can be
used in a number of other chemical processes for different industries.

101. What is the text about?

A. The process of making Biodiesel.
B. The use of the Biodiesel.
C. The benefit of producing the Biodiesel.
D. The development of the Biodiesel product.

Question 103

Acid rain is rain that is extremely acidic because of sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides,
and other air pollutants dissolved in it. Normal rain is slightly acidic, with a pH of 6.
Acid rain may have a pH value as low as 2.8.

Acid rain can harshly damage both plant and animal life. Certain lakes, for example,
have lost all fish and plant life because of acid rain.

Acid rain comes from sulfur in coal and oil. When they burn, they make sulfur
dioxide (SO2 ). Most sulfur leaves factory chimneys as the gaseous sulfur dioxide
(SO2 ) and most nitrogen are also emitted as one of the nitrogen oxides (NO or NO2
), both of which are gasses. The gasses may be dry deposited–absorbed directly by
the land, by lakes or by the surface vegetation. If they are in the atmosphere for
anytime, the gasses will oxidize (gain an oxygen atom) and go into solution as acids.
Sulphuric acid (H2 SO4 ) and the nitrogen oxides will become nitric acid (HNO3 ).
The acids usually dissolve in cloud droplets and may travel long distances before
being precipitated as acid rain.

Question 104

Catalysts such as hydrogen peroxide, ozone, and ammonium help advance the
formation of acids in clouds. More ammonium (NH4 ) can be formed when some of
the acids are partially neutralized by airborne ammonia (NH3 ). Acidification
increases with the number of active hydrogen (H+) ions dissolved in acid.
Hydrocarbons emitted by, for example, car exhausts will respond in sunlight with
nitrogen oxides to produce ozone. Although it is invaluable in the atmosphere, low-
level ozone causes respiratory problems and also hastens the formation of acid rain.
When acid rain falls on the ground it dissolves and liberates heavy metals and
aluminum (Al). When it is washed into lakes, aluminum irritates the outer surfaces
of many fish. As acid rain falls or drains into the lake the pH of the lake falls.
Forests suffer the result of acid rain through damage to leaves, through the loss of

Question 105-106

There are three gears to a typical modern catalytic converter: one to effect the
reduction of nitrogen oxides, …… to facilitate the oxidation of carbon monoxide and
hydrocarbons, and the third to sustain the correct abundance of oxygen. In the first
stage the nitrogen oxides are reduced using a platinum catalyst, which facilitates their
decomposition into nitrogen and oxygen. In the next stage the carbon fragments are
oxidized over a platinum/rhodium catalyst. Finally, the correct quantity of oxygen is
ensured by monitoring the amount of oxygen passing into the engine, and by
incorporating into the catalyst a metal oxide that absorbs oxygen (by reacting with it to
form a higher oxide) when the fuel mixture has too much oxygen and reverts to the
lower oxide, releasing oxygen, when the mixture has too little (Atkins. P.W, 1991)
