After inventing dynamite,
Swedish- born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw
its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel, preferred not to be
remembered as the inventor of the dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before
his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had
made world
while contribution to mankind. Originally there were five awards:
literature, physics, chemistry, medicine and peace. Economics was added in
1968, just sixty- seven years after the first awards ceremony.
Nobel’s
original legacy of nine million dollars was invested and the interest in this
sum is used for the awards which vary from $ 30,000 to $ 125,000.
Every year on December 10, the anniversary of
Nobel’s death, the awards are presented to the winners. Some politics plays an important

IV. Read
the passage and choose the best option A, B, C or D to answer the question (1 pt)
One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the
shortage of clean water. Having clean drinking water is a basic human right.
But acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage have made many sources of water
undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools of
poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world. It contains
a rich variety of animals and plants, including 1,300 rare species that do not
exist anywhere else in the world. But they are being destroyed by the massive
volumes of industrial wastes which pour into the lake every day. Even where law
existed, the government did not have the power to enforce them. Most industries
simply ignores the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the
world’s water surface. But it is the dumping ground for 50% of all marine
pollution. Almost 16 countries regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles
off shore.
Water is free to everyone. A few years ago people thought
that the supply of clean water in the world was limitless. Today, many water
supplies have been ruined by pollution and sewage. Clean water is now scarce,
and we are at last beginning to respect this precious source. We should do
something now.

A. acid rain
|
B.
safe water shortage

is NOT the reason that makes water
undrinkable?
A. acid rain
|
B.
garbage
|
|
C. industrial pollution

high cost
|
73. What is a serious problem of Lake Baikal
in Russia
A. It contains a rich variety
of animals and plants.
|
B. It
is polluted by massive volumes of industrial wastes discharged into it.
|
|
C. It has 1,300 rare species
that do not exist anywhere else in the world.
|
D. The government did not have
the power to enforce laws and regulations.
|
74. How many
countries throw industrial wastes into the Mediterranean
Sea regularly?
