II. Read the passage about Air Pollution and answer the questions below. (1.25 pts)
AIR POLLUTION
We are nowadays becoming more aware of pollution matters that affect dramatically our lives,
especially there is growing concern about air pollution.
There are some reasons that lead to this kind of pollution. Firstly, the development of industrial
zones, factories and building construction areas is producing a large amount of dust and poisonous air.
Especially in developing countries, people don’t pay much attention to the air treatment process which
makes the air pollution even worse. Secondly, because of the increasing urbanization, it can be easily
seen that there is always a lot of traffic in rush hour and dust on the road these days. The smoke from
vehicles and manufacturing exhaust increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the air which makes US
feel really hard to breathe. The consequences are very bad. Smog and dust can do serious harm to our
health, especially our lungs. We have thousands of asthma and adult respiratory distress cases each
year which raise concern about the air quality. Moreover, acid rain is becoming more and more popular
which damages crops and fields.
Many people believe that air pollution is also causing global warming and it is difficult to
improve the air without the efforts of all countries around the world.
1. Where do a large amount of dust and poisonous air come from?
They come from industrial zones, factories and building construction areas.
2. Do developing countries take the air treatment process into careful consideration?
No, they don’t.
3. Why is it difficult for us to breathe when travelling on the roads or streets?
Because the smoke from vehicles and manufacturing exhaust increases the amount of carbon
dioxide in the air.
4. Which particular part of our body is seriously affected by smog and dust?
Our lungs.
5. Does acid rain damage crops and fields?
Yes, it does.

Task 1. Listen to the pasage and choose the best answer A, B, C or D. You will listen twice
Two of the most dangerous storms which affect America are hurricanes and tornadoes. They are
very much feared by anyone who may live in the path of their destruction.
Every year homes are destroyed by their fury and often lives are lost. Most people who live near
the coast are forced to evacuate their homes and to move to safer areas until the storm passes. Floods
are caused along the coasts by both the heavy rain and a storm tide that is considerably above normal
water level.
Hurricanes usually develop between July and October. Once they hit the land, they carry
tremendous power with driving rain and wind.
Tornadoes are violent low-pressured storms. These storms occur most often during the summer
months and are noticeable by their strong wind and lack of rain. The sky turns black as dust is sucked
up into the air. Tornadoes can pick up trees and cars right into the air and even uplift heavier objects
such as homes and railway cars.
Both hurricanes and tornadoes cause millions of dollars worth of damage to life and property
every year. Today they can be predicted more easily than in the past, but they cannot be stopped or
ignored.
Now listen again.

Task 2. Task 2. Listen to the passage and tickTrue (T) or False (F) statements.
Today our bookshop would like to introduce you a new book written by J.H. James. The book’s title is
“Future world”. It is all about how new technologies will change our world in 2050. According to the
book, the anti-aging drugs will help human live healthy lives over 120 years old. Another advanced
technology in health care is 3D printing of human organs and body parts. This will be a good news to
diabetes patients because new muscles, bones and even organs will be rebuilt and replace the damaged
ones. About the technologies in environment protection, solar power will be the main energy source of
the world in 2050. Solar panel will be more popular and help us reduce a large amount of carbon
dioxide emission. There is also some new advanced technology in transportation. Cruise control will
reduce the accidents. This device will be very helpful especially for drunk drivers. In the future, a
transponder will also be installed in a bicycle and will reduce the crash. Read the book now and we can
see that many advanced technologies will bring us a safer and more convenient life.
