III. Read the following passage. Write T (true) or F (false) for each of the sentences
below, according to the information given. If the information is not given, write N.
Number (0) is given as an example.
A combination of sewage, salt, air pollution, sun, sand and wind may destroy the
huge statue on the outskirts of Cairo. This statue of the sun god has the body of a lion and
the face of a human being. It is five thousand years old, but it is too badly damaged to be
completely saved.
The statue has already been dug out of the sand three times. However, the latest
problems are much more serious. First, there are no proper drains and water pipes in the
neighborhood and the underground passages round the statue have become blocked. Too
much water has been running into the stone statue for several years. As a result, tiny pieces
of salt have been left on the stone and have damaged it.
Secondly, air pollution from the increasing amount of traffic in Cairo is also
destroying the ancient statue. The air is so full of poisonous gases that it is making the

stone crumble and decay even faster.
Thirdly, the statue is being damaged by extremes of temperature. For example,
although the air is very cold at night, during the day the stone of the statue becomes very
hot under the strong sun. Other natural forces such as severe sandstorms also attack the
statue.
Finally, the tourists who visit the statue every day also cause a lot of damage.
....N...0. The statue of the sun god was built for religious reasons.
..........1. The statue is in the center of Cairo.
..........2. Parts of the statue looks like a lion and part like a person.
..........3. The statue was built 5,000 years ago.

save it.
..........5. The underground passages round the statue are full of waste and water.
..........6. Small pieces of salt have been put on the stone of the statue to prevent further
damage.
..........7. Cars, buses and lorries have polluted the air near the statue.
..........8. High temperatures damage stone far mor than low temperature.
..........9. People have used the statue to hide from their attackers in the past
