Read the following passage and write the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate

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
 3

variety of animals and plants, including 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world.
However, they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial sewage which pour into the lake
every day. Even though laws have been made, the government do not have the power to apply 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 in short supply, and we are at last beginning to respect this
precious source. We should do something now.
