Part 3. In the following passage there are 10 errors. Identify and correct them (10 pts)
It is the human factor that contributes to the absolute majority of road accidents which involves the
tremendous toll of fatalities each year. Others, less decisive, causes are vehicle functions or road
shortcomings.
Speeding motorists are notorious about failing to give way at junction, judging the situation on the
road or being unable to accurately estimate the distance while overtaking the ‘snailpacers’ ahead.
Drinkers who settle behind the wheel after one glass or two may be running the risk of causing a
tragedy through their impairing perception, which is not so rare a case, again.
Unfortunately, it is much simpler to introduce the necessary alterations in the traffic systems that
change the behavior patterns of drivers. There are voices that more severe disciplinary resolutions ought to
put into practice if the vehicle users are to benefit from greater security on the road. The idea of producing
safe road users through pre-school parental instruction or through incorporating the safety regulations for
the school curriculum has been widely acclaimed in many communities and are expected to yield the
required results as the first step in bettering the qualifications of the future drivers and acquaint them with
the potential hazards that may arise on route.

Part 3: Read the following passage and circle the letter (A, B, C or D) to indicate the correct answer to
each of the following questions. (10 pts)
No one can calculate the quantity of solid waste that has been dumped in the world’s oceans, but the
total certainly exceeds many millions of tons. For example, from 1880 to 1895, 75 percent of the solid
waste from New York City was dumped untreated into the Atlantic Ocean. Although it is now prohibited
by law, the dumping of solid waste, including wastewater sludge, industrial waste, and high - level
radioactive waste were common in the United States until 1970. Cruise ships and huge floating fishing
factories still regularly dispose of their solid waste products directly into the ocean.
The earth naturally recycles water and refreshes the land in what is called the hydrological cycle.
The hydrological cycle not only renews the supply of water, but cleans it as well. The process begins as
heat from the sun causes sea water, 97 percent of the earth’s total water reserve, to evaporate and form
clouds. Because water evaporates at lower temperatures than most pollutants, the water vapor that rises
from the seas is relatively pure and free of the contaminants, which are left behind. Next, water returns to
us as rain, which drains into streams and rivers and rushes toward the sea.
Chemicals, petroleum products, and other dangerous substances such as radioactive materials
remain in the ocean, polluting it permanently. The polluted ocean water kills fish or makes them dangerous
to eat, posing health problems for those who consume them. It kills the tiny sea creatures that are the source
of food for larger fish, sharks, and whales. It also spoils a source of great beauty and pleasure when some
solid waste is thrown onto beaches during storms. Discharged petroleum products are frequently found on
beaches and they not only ruin the beach, the petroleum residue kills hundreds of shore birds. Nonpoint
pollutants are dumped into lakes, rivers, and streams that may be far away from any ocean. However, these
pollutants flow, eventually, into the oceans. They can come from a variety of sources, from road salt to
agricultural pesticides. One source of nonpoint pollution is runoff from farming, including fertilizers,
manure, and pesticides. Another source is industrial runoff, including heavy metals, phosphorous, and
many other chemicals. Urban runoff (oils, salts, various chemicals) and atmospheric fallout of airborne
pollution are other sources of nonpoint pollutants that reach the oceans. This includes water and waste from
sinks, toilets, washing machines and bathtubs. The problem with this type of waste is that it provides
massive amounts of nutrients for water plants such as algae, so that they grow rapidly. This sudden growth
causes concentration or algae blooms, which use up the oxygen in the water. As the oxygen level of the
water declines, many organisms suffer and die, and the ocean ecosystem is radically altered. This can be
prevented by the installation of waste treatment plants that prevent waste from entering the sea, but such
facilities do not exist in many poorer countries.
1. What can be inferred about the waste dumped into the world’s oceans?
A. It’s mainly household waste B. Much of it was not treated
C. It is billions of tons D. It is primary industrial waste
2. As can be inferred from the passage, which of the following was NOT disposed into the ocean?

A. refreshing the land B. separating water from used liquid
C. cleaning water D. renewing the water supply
4. Which of the following has similar meaning to the word “contaminants” in the second paragraph?
A. pollutants B. rushes C. sea water D. vapor
5. What does the word “which” in the second paragraph refer to?
A. rain water B. the earth C. sea water D. water vaporizer
6. Why are chemicals, petroleum products and radioactive materials mentioned in the passage?
A. as untreated waste B. as industrial substances
C. as raw sewage D. as dangerous pollutants
7. Which of the following is NOT referred to as a result of polluted ocean water?
A. killing fish B. harming people who eat sea food
C. spoiling beach beauty D. killing shore birds
8. Which of the following is NOT an example of farming runoff?
A. manure B. pesticide C. road salt D. fertilizer
9. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. It is expensive to build waste treatment plants
B. developing countries do not need waste treatment plant yet
C. the environment of develop countries is more polluted than that of poor countries
