TEST 8

1. READ THE PASSAGE AND ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT IT

One of the most colourful decades in US history is commonly referred to as the Roaring Twenties. At various times the 1920’s were nicknamed the jazz Age and the Dollar Decade. This era brought economic growth, rising wealth and lasting social and political changes.

During the 1920’s an expanding economy resulted in exploding business profits and an increased standard of living for most Americans. In less than 10 years, the national income jumped by over 40%. Much of this increase can be attributed to the use of labor-saving machinery that allowed workers to produce goods more quickly and less expensively.

American were encouraged to use their new-found wealth on consumer purchases. Even low-income families could afford to buy an automobile, and the use of credit allowed millions of American families to buy refrigerators and washing machines. Promises of great wealth convinced many Americans to invest in the stock market, also on borrowed money.

But profits and consumption eventually brought an end to the prosperity of the Dollar Decade, as well as to the view that economy could regulate itself best without government control.

I. READ THE PASSAGE AND CHOOSE THE ONE BEST ANSWER

Did you ever stop to think how important water is? All animals and plants are mostly water. A person’s body is about 65 percent water. Each of us needs to drink at least five pints of water each day. Big animals need about 15 gallons of water a day. Water has other uses, too. It is used for washing and air conditioning household and gardening. Steel, gasoline, paper and most other products are made with the help of water. Power plants use water for cooling. Farms, of course, need water to grow food. Water is also used to carry goods and people around the world, it is used for swimming, boating, and other kinds of recreation. We can easily see that life would be impossible without water. That is why it is so important to keep our water clean. Yet, polluted water is beginning very common. Water that has become polluted is unsafe to use. Pollution can happen when untreated wastes have been dumped into it. Polluted water can smell, have garbage floating in it, and be unfit for boating or swimming. But even water that looks clean and smells good can be polluted. It may be loaded with germs and dangerous chemicals you cannot see.

One way of polluting water is to allow fertilisers and untreated wastes to wash from farms and building sites into waterways after a rain. Man is making more waste than nature can handle. More and better waste water treatment is needed. Clean water is so important to our lives. We should make an effort to make sure we have enough of it.

TEST 10

I. Read the passage and choose the one best answer

The environmental problems of the chemical age stretch beyond the authority of existing political and social institutions. Matters of the global environment now demand the kind of high-level attention that the global economy receives. World leaders historically have co-operated to preserve economic stability. They periodically hold summit meetings on international economic problems. Policymakers carefully track economic indicators to determine when adjustments - national or international - are required.

The record on environmental co-operation is not so favourable. Now in the 1990’s efforts are needed for the global environment, including the defining of environmental indicators, along with mechanisms for making prompt adjustments when the environment is threatened.

The future of our planet is dependent upon our efforts to simultaneously arrest the carbon dioxide build-up, protect the ozone layer restore forests boost energy efficiency, and further develop renewable energy sources.

Preceding generations have always been concerned about the future, but we are first to be faced with decisions that will determine whether the Earth our children inherit will be habitable.

People who travel frequently on business or for pleasure often suffer some form of health problem, yet over half of these problems can easily be prevented. The most common ailment, a headache, can be avoided by taking along an ample supply of aspirin or other pain reliever. Another common affliction is motion sickness caused by the constant movement of a vehicle. Ginger capsules, sold in most health-food stores, have been found effective as a remedy. Other familiar problems include sunburn, which can be prevented by using an effective sunscreen, and insect bites, which can be controlled with use of a repellent spray or ointment.
