1st term test think teen 2 units5-6 CLASS :C

NAME: DATE:

My name is Deng and I come from China. I live in Beijing, which is a city of over 15 million people. Just before
dawn each morning, the streets are clean but by the end of the day there is enough litter to fill an Olympic sized
swimming pool! Because of the Olympic Games in 2008 the government wants to make the city clean and it is
trying to encourage people to change their bad habits and to be more responsible for their rubbish. Now it is a
crime to throw rubbish or litter in the street. For example, if you drop litter or throw cigarette butts on the road,
the police can fine you 500 Yaun on-the-spot. Although this is a good idea and they do it to help, I don't think
it will change anything. In a big city people always think someone else will clean up the mess. This is a disgrace.
They don't understand that it is everyone's responsibility to keep their city clean. Unless people learn to respect
where they live, nothing will change and the problem will remain the same. We need to educate people about
the importance of living in a clean environment. After all, it's for their own good, so why don't people want to
change their bad habits?

Dead Sea in Danger

The Dead Sea, the saltiest body of water of the earth and a wonderful natural treasure, is becom¬ing smaller and
smaller because of decisions by people to use part of its waters.

The Dead Sea is located at the lowest point of the earth, almost 400 metres below sea level. It is 50 kilometres long.
Just 40 years ago it stretched 80 kilometres in length.

One of the main reasons for the sea's shrinking is lack of water. 90% of the waters that flow from the Jordan River,
which traditionally goes into the Dead Sea, is taken for drinking and agriculture in Israel and Jordan.

Besides, local industry adds to the Dead Sea's problems. They use the water for getting necessary minerals. It's a
real disaster for the Sea.

Now hundreds of thousands of tourists come to the Dead Sea every year. Its water is so salty that a man can read a
newspaper comfortably while lying on his back on the water. The water contains a lot of sulphur, and the thick
black mud that is found at the sea's beach is very use¬ful for people with skin diseases. Tourists treat their bodies
with the black mud, but they don’t think about the Dead Sea's troubles.

It can be saved — but time is running out.

1. Where is the Dead Sea located?

a) At the highest point of the Earth

b) At the hottest place of the Earth

c) At the lowest point of the Earth

d) At the coldest place of the Earth

2. According to the text how long is the Dead Sea now?

a) 400 metres

b) 50 kilometres

c) 80 kilometres

d) 40 kilometres

3. What are two main reasons for taking off part of the Dead Sea's water?
a) Thousands of tourists come to the Sea to treat their diseases; the Dead Sea's water is used by local industry.

b) People take water from the Jordan River for their needs; they use the Dead Sea's water for getting necessary
minerals.

c) Local industry uses its black mud; people take the Sea's water for agriculture and drinking.

d) 90% of the Jordan waters is taken for drinking and agriculture in Israel and Jordan; thousands of tourists come
to the Sea for treating.

3. Write a short answer.

1. Find and write down the sentence that says why the Dead Sea is in danger?

______________________________________________________________________________________________

It can be saved — but time is running out? Explain your answer.

The pollution in Hong Kong is a serious problem.

We have water pollution which makes the rivers and the sea very dirty. Some seafood is no longer safe to eat now.

We have air pollution because of the smoke made by cars and factories.

Noise pollution is also getting worse because of the roadworks and traffic in our streets.

If we allow this to go on, Hong Kong will become a dangerous place to live in. Therefore we must do something
before it is too late.

If we don’t stop making a lot of smoke, we won’t have fresh air to breathe.
Global Warming

Scientists say the temperature of the earth could rise by 3ºC over the next 50 years. This may cause drought in
some parts of the world, and floods in others, as ice at the North and South poles begins to melt and sea levels rise.
Global warming is caused by the greenhouse effect. Normally, heat from the sun warms the earth and then escapes
back into space. But carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere trap the sun’s heat, and this is slowly
making the earth warmer.

The Ozone Layer

The Ozone layer is a layer of gas high above the surface of the earth that helps to protect it from the sun’s
ultraviolet radiation, which can damage our skins and cause cancer. Scientists have recently discovered holes in the
Ozone Layer, caused by substances called CFCs (clorofluorocarbons) CFCs are used in refrigerators, aerosol cans
and in the manufacture of some plastic products. Some companies now make aerosols that do not contain CFCs,
and these are often marked “Ozone Friendly”

Deforestation

Rainforests help to control global warming because the absorb carbon dioxide. In recent years, large area have
been destroyed, as the trees are cut down for wood or burned to clear the land for farming. The burning releases
large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Many rainforests grow on poor soils, and when they are cut
down or burned, the soil is washed a way in the tropical rains, so that the area may turn to desert. Many plant and
animal species that live there could become extinct.

Pollution

Factories, power stations and motor vehicles pump large quantities of carbon dioxide and other gases into the air.
This is a major cause of the greenhouse effect. A lot of petrol contains lead, which is very poisonous and can cause
brain damage in children. Most cars use unleaded petrol today and hybrid cars use batteries and petrol to use less
petrol. Some poisonous gases dissolve(διαλυονται) in water in the atmosphere and then fall to the earth as acid
rain. Acid rain also damages trees and buildings, and can kill fish in lakes and rivers. Rivers can also be polluted by
industrial waste from factories and chemical fertilizers and pesticides used by farmers.

Alternative Energy

Most of the energy we use today comes from coal, oil and gas. But these will not last for ever, and burning them is
slowly harming the atmosphere. We need to look for other ways of supplying energy. Solar Power is a way of using
the sun’s energy as heat or to make electricity. We can also use wind-power by building modern windmills that spin
in the wind. There are several types of water-power: river water in mountainous areas can be used to generate
hydroelectric power, and we can also create electricity from sea water flowing in and out with the tides.

Recycling

Recycling is the processing of used objects and materials so that they can be used again. About 60% of rubbish from
homes and factories contain materials that could be recycled. Recycling saves energy and raw materials, and also
reduces damage to the countryside. Glass, paper and aluminium cans can all be recycled very easily. Many towns
have special bins for bottles and cans where people can leave their empty bottles and cans for recycling. A lot of
paper bags, writing paper and greeting cards are now produced on recycled paper.

1.What are CFCs and how do they affect the environment?

2.What alternative forms of energy do you know?

3.What is the Ozone Layer? What does it do? What is happening to it?

4.How are forests good for the environment? What is happening to them?

5.What is a hybrid car? How does it help the environment?

6.What is acid rain?

7.What is recycling? How does it help the environment?

8.What is the Greenhouse Effect?

What do you do to save energy and protect the environment?

Why Should We Recycle? You know that you should recycle, but do you know

why you should recycle?

Recycling-
1.Reduces the amount of waste we have to dispose of in landfill sites.
2. Recycling uses less energy, e.g. fuel and electricity, than manufacturing new materials
and so reduces pollution.
3. If we recycle, we don’t need to keep going back to nature to get more raw materials.
Obtaining raw materials causes serious damage to the environment.
