Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.

An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals,

vegetation, or materials adversely Air pollution requires a very flexible

definition that permits continuous change When the first air pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled- a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known today As technology has developed and knowledge

of the health aspect of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened In the future, even water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions

Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides, are found in nature As the Earth developed, the concentration of these pollutants was altered by various chemical reactions; they

became components in biogeochemical cycles These serve as an air purification

scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil On

a global basis, nature's output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities

However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a

city In such a region, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycles The result is an increased concentration of noxious chemicals in the air The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact, the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area For example, sulfur dioxide

has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million (p.p.m), which is about

400 times its natural level Carbon monoxide, however, has a natural level of 0.1 p.p.m and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 p.p.m

Question 4 The word "detectable" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning

to .

A special B beneficial C measurable D

separable

Question 5 It can be inferred from the first paragraph that .

A most air pollutants today can be seen or smelled B water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areas

C the definition of air pollution will continue to change D a substance

becomes an air pollutant only in cities

Question 6 The word "localized" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning

to .

A specified B surrounded C circled D

encircled

Question 7 According to the passage, human-generated air pollution in

localized regions .

A can be dwarfed by nature's output of pollutants B can

overwhelm the natural system that removes pollutants

C will damage areas outside of the localized regions D will react

harmfully with natural pollutants

Question 8 Which of the following is best supported by the passage?

A One of the most important steps in preserving natural lands is to better

enforce air pollution laws

B Human activities have been effective in reducing air pollution.

C Scientists should be consulted in order to establish uniform limits for all

air pollutants

D To effectively control pollution, local government should regularly

review their air pollution laws

Question 9 What does the passage mainly discuss?

A How much harm air pollutants can cause. B The economic impact of air pollutant

C The effects of compounds added to the atmosphere D What constitutes

an air pollutant.

Question 10 For which of the following reasons can natural pollutants play an

important role in controlling air pollution?

A They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants B They

function as part of a purification process

C They are less harmful to living beings than other pollutants D They

have existed since the Earth developed

Question 11 The word "adversely" in the first passage is closest in meaning to

.

A quickly B considerably C negatively D

admittedly

Question 12 The word "These" in the second paragraph refers to

.

A the compounds moved the water or soil B the pollutants from the

developing Earth

C the components in biogeochemical cycles D the

various chemical reactions

Question 13 According to the passage, the numerical value of concentration

level of a substance is only useful if _.

A the other substances in the area are known B it can be

calculated quickly

C it is in a localized area D the

natural level is also known
