VIII. 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.
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.
However,
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.
Yet,
they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial
effluent
which
pour into the lake every day. Even though laws have been made, the government does
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.
