Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer
to each of the questions
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. However, 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. Yet, they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of
industrial effluent which pour into the lake every day. Even though laws have been made, the government do not
have the power to enforce them. Most industries simply ignore 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. safe water shortage B. pools of poison

A. laws B. the government C. animals D. plants
