II/ Read the passage and answer the questions below. (1m)
There are many sources of pollution in our modern world. At present, the
most serious sources are acid rain, car exhaust fumes and oil spills.
Factory chimneys give out smoke that contains sulphur dioxide and nitrogen
oxide. These gases combine with water vapour in the atmosphere to form sulphuric
acid and nitric acid. When it rains, these acids dissolve in the rain and make it
acidic. Acid rain is believed to be the worst pollution problem of all. It has harmed
water life by turning many lakes into lifeless bodies of water.
Car exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide and lead which are highly
poisonous. In big cities, the exhaust fumes build up and cause a health danger to
human beings. Therefore, today some large cities have to ban cars from the city
center to wipe out smoke and limit the emission of poisonous gases to solve the
problem of air pollution.
