TEST YOURSELF D Listening (2.5 points) Listen to the passage about -water conservation and complete the following sentences. Reading (2.5 points) Read the passage and answer the questions. Air, water, and soil are necessary to the survival of all living things. Badly polluted air can cause illness, and even death. Polluted water kills fish and other marine life. Pollution of the soil reduces the amount of land that is available for growing food. The pollution problem is very complicated because much pollution is caused by things that benefit people. For example, exhaust from automobiles causes a large percentage of air pollution. But the automobile provides transportation for millions of people. Factories discharge much of the material that pollutes the air and water, but factories give employment to a large number of people. Thus, to end or greatly reduce pollution immediately, people would have to stop using many things that benefit them. Pollution can be gradually reduced in several ways. Scientists and engineers can work to find ways to lessen the amount of pollution that such things as automobiles and factories cause. Governments can pass and enforce laws that require businesses and individuals to stop, or to cut down on certain polluting activities. What is necessary for the survival of all living things? What can polluted air, water and soil cause? Why is the pollution problem complicated? Give one example. What would people have to do to end or to reduce pollution immediately? How can governments control pollution?
