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 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 changes. 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 health aspects 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 more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxides 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 region, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycles. The result is an 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 (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level. Carbon monoxide, however has a natural level of 0. 1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm.

The word "detectable " is closest in meaning to

A. special                         

B. separable                  

The word "localized " is closest in meaning to

A. specified                      

B. circled                      

A. the compounds moved to the water or soil

B. the various chemical reactions.

According to the passage, the numerical value of the concentration level of a substance is only useful if ______.

A. the other substances in the area are known  

B. it can be calculated quickly.

A. the definition of air pollution will continue to change.

B. water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areas.

According to the passage, human- generated air pollution in localized regions  

A. will react harmfully with natural pollutants.

B. can overwhelm the natural system removing pollutants.

The word "adversely " is closest in meaning to

A. considerably                

B. quickly                     

Which of the following is best supported by the passage?

A. Scientists should be consulted in order to establish uniform limits for all air pollutants.

Read the passage and choose the best option (A, B, C or D) to complete each of the following sentences.

Probably the most famous film commenting on the twentieth-century technology is Modern Times, made in 1936. Charlie Chaplin was motivated to make the film by a reporter who, while interviewing him, happened to describe working conditions in industrial Detroit. Chaplin was told that healthy young farm boys were lured to the city to work on automotive assembly lines. Within four or five years these young men’s health was destroyed by the stress of work in the factories.

Scenes of factory interiors account for less than one-third of the footage of Modern Times, but they contain some of the film’s most pointed social commentary as well as its funniest comic situation. No one who has seen the film can ever forget Chaplin vainly trying to keep pace with the fast-moving conveyor belt, almost losing his mind in the process.

Clearly, Modern Times has its faults, but it remains the best film treating technology within a social context. It does not offer a radical social message, but it accurately reflects the sentiments of many who felt they were helpless victims of an over-mechanized world.
