VIII. 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 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 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 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
(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.
Question 55: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A.What constitutes an air pollutant B. The economic impact of air pollution.
C. How much harm air pollutants can cause. D. The effects of compounds added to the
atmosphere
Question 56: The word "adversely" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.
A. admittedly B. quickly C. considerably D. negatively
Question 57: It can be inferred from the first paragraph that _______.
A. water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areas
B. the definition of air pollution will continue to change
C. most air pollutants today can be seen or smelled
D. a substance becomes an air pollutant only in cities
Question 58: The word "These" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to_.
A. the components in biogeochemical cycles B. the various chemical reactions
C. the pollutants from the developing Earth D. the compounds moved to the water
Question 59: For which of the following reasons can natural pollutants play an important role
in controlling air pollution?
A. They function as part of a purification process.

B. They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants.
C. They have existed since the Earth developed
D. They are less harmful to living beings than other pollutants.
Question 60: According to the passage, human-generated air pollution in localized regions
_______.
A. will damage areas outside of the localized regions
B. will react harmfully with natural pollutants
C. can be dwarfed by nature's output of pollutants
D. can overwhelm the natural system that removes pollutants
Question 61: The word "localized" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.
A. circled B. encircled C. surrounded D. specified
Question 62: According to the passage, the numerical value of the concentration level of a
substance is only useful if _______.
A. the natural level is also known B. it can be calculated quickly
C. it is in a localized area D. the other substances in the area are known
Question 63: The word "detectable" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to_________.
A. beneficial B. special C. measurable D. separable
Question 64: Which of the following is best supported by the passage?
A. Human activities have been effective in reducing air pollution.
B. Scientists should be consulted in order to establish uniform limits for all air pollutants.
C. One of the most important steps in preserving natural lands is to better enforce air pollution
laws.
D. To effectively control pollution, local government should regularly review their air pollution
laws.

Dear John,
I have received your letter and I feel so glad when knowing that you had passed your
examinations with good marks. You want me to tell you about my family rules, and the importance of
family in my life? I am always willing to tell you all about my family.
Family rules? It's an interesting topic, isn't it? It may be obvious that every family has its own
rules. Mine has a few, apart from our traditional rules, especially for this school year as I'm in the
final year.First, I'm not allowed to watch TV, nearly no, except when there is a good or interesting
movie or when I have finished all my homework and exercises. And never do my parents let me stay
up so much late at night.Next my parents don't permit me to go out with my friends without necessary
reason for example birthdays.Besides, I have to take a balanced diet to keep fit for my coming exam.
And one more thing I have to keep up is talking on the phone, that is I have to set a limit to my using
of the phone.
For me, family is very important part of my everyday life. It helps me in improving my
personality. It also helps me in shaping my life. It teaches me the value of love, affection, care,
truthfulness and self-confidence and provides me tools and suggestions which are necessary to get
success in life.Family is a place where I can be myself. It is a place where I am accepted for what I
am. This is where I am completely tension free and everyone is there to help me. Family encourages
me when I am surrounded by problems. It helps me survive through tough times and bring joy and
happiness into my life. Now I am preparing for my GCSE examination and the entrance examination.
They are very hard for me, but I try my best to pass the exams with good marks.
I have told you something about my family rules. How about your family rules? Are you ready
to let me know about it? I am really excited to hear about it. And I look forward to hearing from you
soon.
Best wishes to you,
Love,
Nam
