20 a) Read the text and give titles to its parts, then say in short what each of the parts is about.

THIS FRAGILE PLANET

The word environment means simply what is around us. Some people live in a town environment; for others, their environment is the countryside. But the air we breathe, the soil² on which we stand and walk, the water we drink are all part of the environment.

Nowadays people understand how important it is to solve the environmental problems that endanger people’s lives. The most serious environmental problems are:

• pollution in its many forms (water pollution, air pollution, nuclear pollution);
• noise from cars, buses, planes, etc.;
• destruction of wildlife and the beauty of the countryside;
• shortage of natural resources (metals, different kinds of fuel³);
• the growth of population.

“Water, water everywhere, not any drop to drink,” said the sailor from Coleridge’s⁴ poem describing to a friend how awful it was to be without drinking water on a ship in the middle of the ocean. It is strange to think that the water around his ship was probably quite safe to drink. It was salty — but not polluted. Sea water today is much more dangerous.

There is no ocean or sea which is not used as a dump. The Pacific Ocean, especially, has suffered from nuclear pollution because the French Government tested nuclear weapons there. Many seas are used for dumping industrial and nuclear waste. Britain dumps a lot of its industrial waste straight into the North Sea. This poisons and kills fish and sea animals. “Nuclear-poisoned” fish can be eaten by people.

Many rivers and lakes are poisoned too. Fish and reptiles can’t live in them. There is not enough oxygen in the water. In such places all the birds leave their habitats and many plants die. If people drink this water, they can die too. It happens so because factories and plants produce a lot of waste and pour it into rivers. So they poison the water. Factories use clean water. After the water is used it can become poison which goes back into rivers and seas.

18. When the Americans decided to clean up the Statue of Liberty in 1986, the first thing they had to do was to make a hole in her nose and take away the acid rain¹ that had collected inside. The polluted air of New York had mixed with the rain and damaged the Statue badly. And you certainly know that most of the pollution in big cities comes from cars and buses.

More and more often people are told not to spend too much time in direct sunlight, because ultraviolet radiation from the sun can cause skin cancer.² Normally the ozone layer³ in the atmosphere protects us from such radiation, but if there are holes in the ozone layer ultraviolet radiation can get to the Earth. Many scientists think that these holes are the result of air pollution.

Nuclear power stations can go wrong and cause nuclear pollution. This happened in Windscale in Britain, in Three Mile Island in the USA and Chernobyl in the former Soviet Union. Nuclear pollution cannot be seen but its effects can be terrible.

To make air clean again we need good filters at nuclear power stations, at factories and plants and also in cars and buses.

Both clean air and clean water are necessary for our health. If people want to survive they must solve these problems quickly. Man is beginning to understand that his environment is not just his own town or country, but the whole Earth. That’s why people all over the world think and speak so much about ecology.

b) Listen to the marked part of the text and try to read it in the same manner.

Решение.

Решение 2.

a) Прочитайте текст и дайте названия его частям, а затем кратко расскажите, о чем каждая из частей.

b) Прослушайте отмеченную часть текста и попробуйте прочитать ее в той же манере.

Ответ:

a)

Part A: Water Pollution

This part of the text is about water pollution. It says that there is no ocean or sea that is not used as a dump. Industrial and nuclear waste poisons the water, killing fish, animals, and making it dangerous for people.

Часть A: Загрязнение воды

Эта часть текста о загрязнении воды. В ней говорится, что нет ни одного океана или моря, которое не используется как свалка. Промышленные и ядерные отходы отравляют воду, убивая рыбу, животных и делая ее опасной для людей.

Part B: Air Pollution

This part is about air pollution. It gives examples of how pollution damages things, like acid rain on the Statue of Liberty. It also talks about holes in the ozone layer and nuclear pollution. The text concludes that we need good filters to make the air clean again.

Часть B: Загрязнение воздуха

Эта часть о загрязнении воздуха. В ней приводятся примеры того, как загрязнение наносит вред, например, кислотный дождь на Статую Свободы. Также говорится о дырах в озоновом слое и ядерном загрязнении. В тексте делается вывод, что нам нужны хорошие фильтры, чтобы снова сделать воздух чистым.
