11-15.Read the text. Then choose one best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question from the four
choices.
Acid rain is rain containing a certain amount of nitric acid which has been discharged into atmosphere
from factories. It is extremely harmful to our health and the environment.
In America, the people are becoming more concerned about the dangers caused by acid rain.
Researchers have found that an increasing number of babies have died because of it. Acid rain harms the
lungs of the babies.
Acid rain is also harmful to the lives of fishes. When acid rain is mixed with the water of the rivers and
lakes, the fishes cannot reproduce themselves. This is because the water is too acidic. If we consume such
fishes, we can get food poisoning. Such rain destroys the natural vegetation and causes fertile soil to be
infertile. Buildings and statues can also be gradually destroyed.
Since acid rain is caused by the release of certain chemicals into the atmosphere, the government
recommends that health measures be taken seriously. Certain industries are prevented by law to release
nitrogen acid and sulphur dioxide into the air. This reduces the health risk. The problem of acid rain is a
clear danger which has not been solved. The rain from one country can be a danger another. It happens
when the wind brings the acid rain to a nearby country.

VII . Read the passage. Than choose the best answer.
Man is a land animal, but he also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man.
The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, nearly two thirds
of the world's population lives within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.
In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to
be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many of man's needs.
The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man's technology is impressive. Oil and gas explorations have been
carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals exit on the ocean floor ready to be mined. Fish farming
promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food.
Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean
can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of
energy. Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong, new
materials has made this possible.
The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2010 the problems that prevent
us from exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.
46. The see serves the needs of man because …………………
a. it provides man with food. b. it offers oil to man
c. it supplies man with minerals d. all of above
47. The best title for this passage is ………………
a. Sea harvest b. Sea food c. Sea exploration d. Technology for exploiting the sea
48. The major things that the sea offers man are …………….
a. fish and oil . b. warm temperature and ocean currents .
c. minerals and oil. d. the food, energy sources, and minerals.
49. We can conclude from the passage that
a. the sea resources have largely been used up.
b. the sea, in a broad sense, has not been developed yet .
c. the problems that prevent us from using the food, energy sources, and minerals of the sea have already been
solved.
d. by the year 2010 all the sea resources will be fully exploited.

Another effect of air pollution is acid rain. The phenomenon occurs when sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides

and fall as rain, snow or fog. These gases can also be emitted from natural sources like volcanoes. Acid rain
causes extensive damage to water,forest and even human health. Many lakes and streams have been
