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. But 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. But they are being destroyed by the
massive volumes of industrial wastes which pour into the lake every day. Even where law


existed, the government did not have the power to enforce them. Most industries simply
ignores 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.
1. What is one of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today ?

Baikal?

Part 2: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow (2.0 p)
A pilot cannot fly by sight alone. In many conditions, such as flying at night and
landing in dense fog, a pilot must use radar, an alternative way of navigating. Since human
eyes are not very good at determining speeds of approaching objects, radar can show a pilot
how fast nearby planes are moving. The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what
happens when one shouts in a cave. The echo of the sounds against the walls helps a person
determine the size of the cave. With radar, however, the waves are radio waves instead of
sound waves. Radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 300,000 kilometers in one
second. A radar set sends out a short burst of radio waves. Then it receives the echoes
produced when the waves bounce off objects. By determining the time it takes for the echoes
to return to the radar set, a trained technician can determine the distance between the radar set

and other objects. The word “radar”, in fact, gets its name from the term “radio detection and
ranging”. “Ranging” is the term for detection of the distance between an object and the radar
set. Besides being of critical importance to pilots, radar is essential for air traffic control,
tracking ships at sea, and for tracking weather systems and storms.
1. When must a pilot use radar?
2. What is the basic principle of radar?
3. How fast can a radio wave travel?
4. Is it true that radar can be applied in a number of fields like air traffic control, tracking
ships at sea or tracking weather systems and storms?
