Question 10. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your
answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. (10 pts)
We are descendents of the ice age. Periods of glaciation have spanned the whole of
human existence for the past 2 million years. The rapid melting of the continental glaciers at
the end of the last ice age spurred one of the most dramatic climate changes in the history of
the planet. During this interglacial time, people were caught up in a cataclysm of human
accomplishment, including the development of agriculture and animal husbandry. Over the
past few thousand years, the Earth’s climate has been extraordinarily beneficial, and humans
have prospered exceedingly well under a benign atmosphere.
Ice ages have dramatically affected life on Earth almost from the very beginning. It is
even possible that life itself significantly changed the climate. All living organisms pull
carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and eventually store it in sedimentary rocks within the
Earth’s crust. If too much carbon dioxide is lost, too much heat escapes out into the
atmosphere. This can cause the Earth to cool enough for glacial ice to spread across the land.
In general the reduction of the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been
equalized by the input of carbon dioxide from such events as volcanic eruptions. Man,
however, is upsetting the equation by burning fossil fuels and destroying tropical rain forests,
both of which release stored carbon dioxide. This energizes the greenhouse effect and causes
the Earth to warm. If the warming is significant enough, the polar ice caps eventually melt.
The polar ice caps drive the atmospheric and oceanic circulation systems. Should the
ice caps melt, warm tropical waters could circle the globe and make this a very warm,
inhospitable planet.
Over the past century, the global sea level has apparently risen upwards of 6 inches,
mainly because of the melting of glacial ice. If present warming trends continue, the seas
could rise as much as 6 feet by the next century. This could flood coastal cities and fertile
river deltas, where half the human population lives. Delicate wetlands, where many marine
species breed, also would be reclaimed by the sea. In addition, more frequent and severe
storms would batter coastal areas, adding to the disaster of the higher seas.

6
 The continued melting of the great ice sheets in polar regions could cause massive
amounts of ice to crash into the ocean. This would further raise the sea level and release more
ice, which could more than double the area of sea ice and increase correspondingly the
amount of sunlight reflected back into space. The cycle would then be complete as this could
cause global temperatures to drop enough to initiate another ice age.
1. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The possibility that the popular ice caps will melt
B. The coming of another ice age
C. Man’s effect on the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere

global sea level?
A. The destruction of wetlands B. The flooding of cities
C. A more diverse marine population D. Severe storms
4. According to the passage, what is the relationship between carbon dioxide and the Earth’s
climate?
A. Carbon dioxide, which is trapped in glacial ice, is released when warm temperatures
cause the ice melt.
B. The greenhouse effect, which leads to the warming of the climate, is result of too
much carbon stored in the Earth’s crust.

THE WATER CRISIS

Greater efficiency in water use is needed to meet
the growing demands of a changing world
A.
Per capita water usage has been on an upward trend for many years. As countries
industrialise and their citizens become more prosperous, their individual water usage
increases rapidly. Annual per capita water withdrawals in the USA, for example, are about
1,700 cubic metres, four times the level in China and fifty times the level in Ethiopia. In the
21st century, the world’s limited supply of renewable fresh water is having to meet demands
of both larger total population and increased per capita consumption. The only practicable
ways to resolve this problem in the longer term are economic pricing in conjunction with
conservation measures.
B.
Agriculture consumes about 70% of the world’s fresh water, so improvements in
irrigation can make the greatest impact. At present, average efficiency in the use of irrigated
water in agriculture may be as low as 50%. Simple changes could improve the rate
substantially, though it is unrealistic to expect very high levels of water-use efficiency in

8
many developing countries, faced as they are with a chronic lack of capital and a largely
untrained rural workforce. After agriculture, industry is the second biggest user of water and,
in terms of value added per litre used, is sixty times more productive than agriculture.
However, some industrial processes use vast amounts of water. For example, production of 1
kg of aluminium might require 1,500 litres of water. Paper production too is often very water-
intensive. Though new processes have greatly reduced consumption, there is still plenty of
room for big savings in industrial uses of water.
C.
In rich countries, water consumption has gradually been slowed down by price
increases and the use of modern technology and recycling. In the USA, industrial production
has risen fourfold since 1950, while water consumption has fallen by more than a third. Japan
and Germany have similarly improved their use of water in manufacturing processes.
Japanese industry, for example, now recycles more than 75% of process water. However,
industrial water consumption is continuing to increase sharply in developing countries. With
domestic and agricultural demands also increasing, the capacity of water supply systems is
under growing strain.
D.
Many experts believe that the best way to counter this trend is to impose water charges
based on the real cost of supplies. This would provide a powerful incentive for consumers to
introduce water-saving processes and recycling. Few governments charge realistic prices for
water, especially to farmers. Even in rich California, farmers get water for less than a tenth of
the cost of supply. In many developing countries there is virtually no charge for irrigation
water, while energy prices are heavily subsidised too (which means that farmers can afford to
run water pumps day and night). Water, which was once regarded as a free gift from heaven,
is becoming a commodity which must be bought and sold on the open market just like oil. In
the oil industry, the price increases which hit the market in the 1970s, coupled with concerns
that supplies were running low, led to new energy conservation measures all over the world.
It was realised that investing in new sources was a far more costly option than improving
efficiency of use. A similar emphasis on conservation will be the best and cheapest option for
bridging the gap between water supply and demand.
E.
One way to cut back on water consumption is simply to prevent leaks. It is estimated
that in some of the biggest cities of the Third World, more than half of the water entering the
system is lost through leaks in pipes, dripping taps and broken installations. Even in the UK,
losses were estimated at 25% in the early 1990s because of the failure to maintain the
antiquated water supply infrastructure. In addition, huge quantities of water are consumed
because used water from sewage pipes, storm drains and factories is merely flushed away and
discharged into rivers or the sea. The modern approach, however, is to see used water as a
resource which can be put to good use - either in irrigation or, after careful treatment, as
recycled domestic water. Israel, for instance, has spent heavily on used water treatment.
Soon, treated, recycled water will account for most farm irrigation there. There are other
examples in cities such as St Petersburg, Florida, where all municipal water is recycled back
into domestic systems.
F.
Another way of conserving water resources involves better management of the
environment generally. Interference with the ecosystem can have a severe effect on both local
9
rainfall patterns and water run-off. Forest clearings associated with India’s Kabini dam
project reduced local rainfall by 25%, a phenomenon observed in various other parts of the
world where large-scale deforestation has taken place. Grass and other vegetation acts as a
sponge which absorbs rainfall both in the plants and in the ground. Removal of the vegetation
means that rainfall runs off the top of the land, accelerating erosion instead of being gradually
fed into the soil to renew ground water.
G.
Global warming is bound to affect rainfall patterns, though there is considerable
disagreement about its precise effects. But it is likely that, as sea levels rise, countries in low-
lying coastal areas will be hit by seawater penetration of ground water. Other countries will
experience changes in rainfall which could have a major impact on agricultural yield - either
for better or for worse. In broad terms, it is thought that rainfall zones will shift northwards,
adding to the water deficit in Africa, the Middle East and the Mediterranean - a grim prospect
indeed.
Task 2. Complete the summary below.
Choose NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS from the text for each answer.
Individual water usage is rising dramatically as people living in industrialized countries
become increasingly (1) ……………. . As well as increased consumption per (2) ……….,
the growing demand for fresh water is due to a bigger global (3) …………. than in the past.
The only way to control this increase in demand is to charge high prices for water while also
promoting conservation measures. Improvements in (4) ………… systems and industrial
processes could dramatically increase the efficiency of water use. There are examples of
industries in some rich countries that have reduced their consumption rates through (5)
……………, the application of (6) ……………… and recycling. But in agricultural and
domestic sectors, the price of water is still subsidized so it is not regarded as a commodity
that people need to pay a realistic price for.
Other ways of protecting supplies are to reduce water loss resulting from (7) ……. in
the supply systems and to find ways of utilizing used water. Longer term measures, such as
improved environmental (8) …………….. would protect the ecosystem and ensure the
replenishment of ground water for future generations. Without such measures, future supplies
are uncertain, especially when global warming is expected to interfere with (9) ……………
patterns and to worsen the (10) …………… already suffered by many countries today.
