Choose the item (A, B, C or D) that best answers the question about the passage: The natural world is under violent assault from man. The seas and rivers are being poisoned by radioactive wastes, by chemical discharges and by the dumping of dangerous toxins and raw sewage. The air we breathe is polluted by smoke and fumes from factories and motor vehicles; even the rain is poisoned. It's little wonder forests and lakes that are being destroyed and everywhere wildlife is disappearing. Yet the destruction continues. Governments and industries throughout the world are intensifying their efforts to extract the earth's mineral riches and to plunder its living resources. The great rain forests and the frozen continents alike are seriously threatened And this despite the warnings of the scientific community and the deep concern of millions of ordinary people. Despite the fact, too, that we can create environmentally-clean industries, harness the power of the sun, wind and waves for our energy needs and manage the finite resources of the earth in a way that will safeguard our future and protect all the rich variety of life-forms which share this planet with us. But there is still hope. The forces of destruction are being challenged across the globe - and at the spearhead of this challenge is Greenpeace. Wherever the environment is in danger, Greenpeace has made a stand. Its scientific presentations and peaceful direct actions at sea and on land have shocked governments and industries into an awareness that Greenpeace will not allow the natural world to be destroyed. Those actions, too, have won the admiration and support of millions. Now you can strengthen the thin green line; you can make your voice heard in defence of the living world by joining Greenpeace today. Thank God someone's making waves. 1. Which one of these statements is not made? A. Drinking water is polluted. B. Radioactive waste poisons the sea. C. Sewage isn't processed. D. Cars and factories poison the air. 2.

D. basically care about the environment. 4. The earth's resources A. should only be for people B. can be made to last longer. C. will fast forever. D. belong to just humans and animals. 5. Governments and industries A. don't know what Greenpeace thinks. B. are forced to understand the problems by Greenpeace. C. can easily ignore Greenpeace. D. misunderstand what Greenpeace thinks. XIII.. Read the following passage carefully, and then answer the questions below. LIFECYCLE Chimpanzees live in groups that depend on intimate, day-to-day communication. They use their close bonds to outwit predators or rivals, and to share skills and local knowledge. HABITAT The chimpanzee favors dense woodland, or tropical forest with closed canopy, or leafy 'ceiling'. This habitat typically includes fruiting trees, from which the ape feeds. Where food is plentiful, chimpanzees form a group of about 15 to 40 individuals, which may hold a forest territory of up to 75 sq km..

<span class='text_page_counter'>(5)</span> The chimpanzee inhabits wooded savannah. Here, though, territories are much larger - between 200 -775 sq km - because the sparser distribution of trees yields less food and fewer nesting sites. CONSERVATION The chimpanzee is declining across its range, as a result of habitat destruction, hunting and the overcollection of animals from the wild - especially babies. When the baby chimps are taken from the wild the mother is usually killed in the process. These babies may then face a life of abuse as a photo-prop, circus performer or laboratory research animal. BREEDING For the first three months of its life the infant clings to its mother's chest, but by about six months it had learned to ride on her back. The offspring is weaned at about four years of age, but forges a very strong bond with its mother and stays with her for up to ten years - Jong after she has ..given birth again. This prolonged period of attachment is vital because most of the youngster's skills are acquired through observing, and learning from older chimps. BEHAVIOUR Living in a group allows chimpanzees to defend their territory and forage more efficiently, and also provides security. Strong bonds are forged between individuals, especially between adult males and between a mother and her infant. However, friendships are confined to family: chimpanzees are hostile to other groups, and males may hunt down and kill males of neighbouring groups, attacking them with sticks, or throwing stones. The chimpanzee also uses tools for more peaceful purposes, and will even manufacture them. Taking a twig, the chimpanzee carefully strips it of leaves and then inserts it into a defence, and the chimpanzee withdraws the twig, picking off and eating the termites. Other tools are used to hook fruit of branches, while bunched handfuls of leaves are used like sponges to soak up water from streams. 1. Where do chimpanzees prefer to live? 2. Why do chimpanzees remain with their mothers for long periods of time? 3. Why do chimpanzees live in groups? Give two reasons. 4. Why are numbers of chimpanzees in the wild falling? XIV. Read the following passage carefully, and then answer the questions below. Undersea lost worlds threatened A group of marine scientists is becoming increasingly concerned at the threat that deep-water fishing poses to life on deepsea mountains. Deep-sea mountains are commonly known as 'seamounts', and are fully submerged mountains rising 1,000 or more meters, from the ocean floor. They are found throughout the world and are home to many unusual sea creatures. Recent studies suggest that up to 40% of all species found on seamounts are new to science. Some of these sea creatures are living fossils from groups believed to have been extinct since the time of the dinosaurs. Seamounts support fragile creatures, which live for a very long time but can be harmed by even the slightest disturbance in habitat. Included here are coral communities and species offish such as the 'orange roughy', which can live for over 100 years. Unfortunately, this type of fish, as well as the deep water red', are sought after and fished far too much by deep-sea fishing boats. Seamounts have become threatened habitats which support unique communities of sea-life. Seamounts have always been credited with the role of acting as stepping stones for the dispersal of species throughout the world's oceans. Certainly, new species are often discovered in these regions. The Pacific Ocean is home to most seamounts because of the high level of volcanic activity in the area. This is not the case in the Atlantic Ocean, which has a quantity of its own seamounts yet to be researched. Species which live on seamounts survive on food carried by currents. Nutrient-rich water is pushed upwards by the seamount, picking up speed as it races over the summit. Sea creatures which, live near the summit of a seamount, such as corals and sponges, filter organic matter from this water as it passes. Orange roughy, for example, feed on prawns, shrimps, squid and other small fish that drift by. Also, lobsters and sea spiders live among the coral outcrops. Whales and tuna fish also visit these undersea mountains on the migratory routes. Scientists warn that many species of sea creature may become extinct before being even identified of relentless deep-sea fishing continues. 1. Where is the base of a deep-sea mountain? 2. What is surprising about the proportion of species discovered on seamounts? 3. Why are the living fossils found on seamounts historically interesting? 4. How are the seamounts fish being threatened? 5. Why are scientists so worried about the future of life on the seamounts? XV. There is one mistake in each sentence.
