Choose from the sentences A–G the one which fits each gap (0–5). Number (0) has been done for you. There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use. (5 points) RUINING THE RUINS Acid rain is now a familiar problem in the industrialized countries in Europe. Gases like sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide are produced by power stations and cars. (0) ___E___. Acid rain is also capable of dissolving some rocks, and buildings made of soft rock, such as limestone, are particularly badly affected. The acid rain attacks the rocks, and so carvings and statues are eroded more quickly. (1) ___________. According to a report in the New Scientist, acid rain is being blamed for the rapid decay of ancient ruins in Mexico. The old limestone buildings in places like Chichen Itza and Palenque are wearing away very quickly indeed. These sites are the remains of the buildings built by the Mayas between 250 BC and AD 900, and the spectacular ruins of Mayan civilization are visited by thousands of tourists every year. But those ruins are in danger of being seriously damaged by pollution. At many sites the stone has been covered with a layer of black substance like tar. (2) ___________. Scientists estimate that about one millimeter of stone is worn away every twelve years. (3) ___________. The acid rain is said to be caused by pollution from oil wells in the Gulf of Mexico. Car exhaust gases are also a problem. Local volcanic eruptions make the problem even worse. Nevertheless, with enough money and effort, researchers say that many of the problems could be solved and the rate of erosion reduced. (4) ____________. Mexico’s current lack of funds is also partly due to oil. The country has rich oil fields and a few years ago, when oil was expensive, Mexico was selling large quantities of oil to the USA and earning a lot of money. (5) ___________. However, the price of oil then dropped, and Mexico has been left owing enormous sums of money and with not enough income from oil sales to pay back the loans. So unless the price of oil rises, it is unlikely that Mexico will be able to afford to clean up the pollution and save its Mayan ruins from destruction. A. At others the painted surfaces inside temples are lifting and flaking off and the stone is being eaten away. B.That is enough to have caused some of the ancient carvings to become seriously damaged already. C. These measures would reduce the pollution, but would not stop it completely. D. The government was therefore able to borrow huge sums of money from banks around the world, thinking they would have no problem repaying their debts. E. They dissolve in rainwater and this makes acid rain, which damages trees, river and streams. F. The problem, however, is not just a European one. G. However, the Mexican government does not have enough money to do the work, and needs to spend what money it has on the Mexican people. IV.

Saving an elephant

Douglas Turner tells the story of a baby elephant who was taken

on a 1,500 km journey in order to save her life.

The first time I saw Wiwin, she looked like a wizened old woman with wrinkly skin, butshe was in fact a baby elephant She had been left behind when her family group waschased back into the forest after being caught raiding a rice field in Southern Sumatra,Indonesia She had been rescued by the local people, who quickly realized that theylacked the means to care for her So she was brought to the local office of the WildlifeConservation Society Wiwin was desperate for affection (1) D _ Because hergrowing teeth were sore, she had also taken to chewing on anything and everything Everyone at the Conservation office was impressed by her spirit; she was clearly asurvivor, but having her there presented a number of problems (2) _ So the staffdesperately contacted anyone who could give advice and began constructing feedingequipment from a length of tubing attached to a plastic bottle Once they discovered theformula of a blend of cow's milk, coconut water and milk powder, Wiwin started to take inliquids

There could be no question of releasing her back into the wild The only option was forher to go to an elephant training center (ETC), which cared for orphaned elephants Thenearest ETC was 1,500 km away, but transporting Wiwin over that distance would beextremely difficult, especially as she was so weak (3) _ We set off in convoy Wiwinwas in a jeep on a cushion of coconut palms, with the wildlife center staff; followed with aphotographer

The first twenty-four hours went well Wiwin determined our schedule: if she was tired,

we stopped, and if she was hungry, we opened a coconut and fed her Mostly, we travelled

in the cool of the night, driving through sleeping villages and setting up camp at daybreak,putting up a tent to give Wiwin shade

We continued on our way in the late afternoon and drove straight into a torrentialrainstorm Trees were blown down, even blocking the road in places (4) _ Westopped for breakfast at a roadside cafe, where one local peered in and touched hernervously as if expecting an electric shock

After three days we arrived at the Sebanga ETC, to be met by the resident vet, JoanneHammett She agreed that we should try to see if the elephant with the newborn calf mightlet Wiwin into their group to feed (5) However, she did soon settle into life atSebanga, interacting well with the other elephants

So, after a week we left Wiwin at the center Regular updates from Joanne kept usinformed of Wiwin's improving condition It could be questioned whether we were justified

in putting all this effort into keeping just one animal alive - in order for it to live a limited life

in captivity (6) She was a symbol of hope for a group of weary conservationistswho are very aware that it takes an enormous amount of time and stamina to make adifference

A Despite all this, Wiwin managed to sleep contentedly

B However, as we were told they had an elephant with a newborn calf, which mightprovide a suitable foster mother for Wiwin, it seemed too good an opportunity to miss

Trang 17

C But Wiwin was more than just an orphan elephant

D Even when she was sleepy, she would wrap her trunk around the nearest person,pleading for company

E After weighing her, our fears were confirmed

F Introductions were made the next day, but Wiwin could not be separated from herbottle, so unfortunately we had to give up the fostering idea

G The most immediate of these was her unwillingness to drink anything in the swelteringheat

1 People say that nuclear energy has caused lots of problems

3 He only felt entirely relaxed with close friends and family

to each question Circle your choice (4 points)

THE TERROR OF THE SEA

Some 16,000 icebergs are born in the Arctic Ocean each year Most of them are

calved by the age-old glaciers that cover the coast of Greenland

Fortunately, in an average year only about 400 of them make it past the GrandBanks of Newfoundland Once past that point, they are in some of the world's busiestshipping lanes There, they are as dangerous as torpedoes In the year 1912, when theTitanic went down with 1,503 lives, about 1,000 icebergs made it past the Grand Banks

A newborn iceberg, unlike most newborn things, is bigger to begin with and slowlygrows smaller When it first breaks free from the mother glacier an Arctic baby may weigh

up to 3 million tons and as big as a block in New York City But it takes two or three years

of travel before it reaches the Banks By that time most icebergs are less than 100 feet inheight Sometimes, however, a grant one, towering 400 feet above the sea is spotted

The sight of these "blocks" is frightening enough, but the real danger lies in the factthat 85 percent of the bulk lies hidden under the water, ready to cut the hull of any shipthat comes too close

Icebergs usually die after they pass the Grand Banks and meet the warm waters ofthe Gulf Stream Yet, a melted-down iceberg was seen about 200 miles south of Bermuda

It was only 15 by 30 feet in size But remember almost nine times that size was hiding

Trang 26

under the water It was still big enough to sink a ship

Time, sun and the Gulf Stream slowly change the icebergs to water, but, while theylive, they are a hazard to the strongest ship and a terror to the bravest captain

1 This article tells mostly about

A ships sunk by icebergs B how icebergs are spotted

C dangerous icebergs D ships built for destroying icebergs

2 The third paragraph suggests that icebergs

A grow bigger with age B travel very slowly

C move quite rapidly D are not too dangerous

3 The writer of this passage feels icebergs are as dangerous as

A explosives B hidden submarines

C a bomb D a submarine weapon

4 As used in this passage, icebergs are calved by the age-old glaciers means

A they break away from the age-old glaciers

B they are attracted to the age-old glaciers

C they push off the age-old glaciers
