CLOTHES FOR WORK AND LEISURE
…..(26)…... .It is not difficult to decide if someone is a police or a traffic officer, a

uniform, most jobs have their own type of clothes. …….(27)….. .Similarly, builders and
road workers don’t wear suits and ties!
…..(28)….
. Until fairly recently, working

3


people couldn’t afford many clothes; only the rich had lots of clothes when they were at
work and when they were not at work. The clothes they wore in might be the only clothes
they had, so wearing aprons was probably the first clothes which were worn especially for
work; they were used in several jobs for keeping clean and for holding tools and carrying
things.
When people are not at work, they like to relax. ..…(29)….. .They wear clothes
that are comfortable and easy to wash.
Sports clothes have not always been comfortable and easy to move around in. In the
1880s women played tennis in long skirts, tight jackets and hats! ……(30)…. . Their long
skirts caught in the wheels. So they began to wear trousers for cycling.
ABCD-

daily work.
E- Instead they wear boots to protect their feet, helmets to protect their heads, and
jeans and T-shirts because their work is very dirty.

Section IV: Read the passage and circle the correct answer A, B, C or D.
One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of
clean water. Having clean drinking water is 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

4


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
ignore the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world’s water surface.
But it is dumping ground for 50% of all marine pollution. Almost 16 countries regularly
throw industrial wastes a few miles off shore.
Water is free for 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.
36. According to the passage, one environmental problem in the world today is ____.
A. acid rain
B. safe water shortage
C. industrial pollution
D. population explosion
37. Which of the following is NOT the reason that makes water undrinkable?

A. acid rain
B. garbage
C. industrial pollution
D. high cost
38. What is the serious problem of Lake Baikal in Russia?
A. It contains a rich variety of animals and plants.
B. It is polluted by massive volumes of industrial wastes discharged into it.
C. It has 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world.
D. The government did not have the power to enforce laws and regulations.
39. How many countries throw industrial wastes into the Mediterranean Sea regularly?
A. exactly 16
B. exactly 15
C. nearly 16
D. less than 15
40. What is the message to the readers?
