Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each the questions.
An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by human to the atmosphere
in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials adversely. Air pollution requires
a very flexible definition that permits continuous change. When the first air pollution laws were
established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be
seen or smelled a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known today. As technology has
developed and knowledge of the health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air
pollutants has lengthened. In the future, even water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under
certain conditions.
Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen
oxides, are found in nature. As the Earth developed, the concentration of these pollutants was altered by
various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycles. These serve as an air
purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil. On a global
basic, natures output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities.
However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city. In such a region,
human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the
cycles. The result is an increased concentration of noxious chemicals in the air. The concentrations at
which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in
the absence of human activities. The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a
pollutant; in fact, the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an increase this
represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area. For example, sulfur dioxide has
detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level.

Carbon monoxide, however, has a natural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level
reaches about 15ppm.

A. The economic impact of air pollution

controlling air pollution?
A. They function as part of a purification process.
B. They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the following questions.
Rachel Carson was born in 1907 in Springsdale, Pennsylvania. She studied biology in college and
zoology at Johns Hopkins University, where she received her masters degree in 1933. In 1936, she was
hired by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, where she worked most of her life.

Carsons first book, Under the Sea Wind, was published in 1941. It received excellent reviews, but
sales were poor until it was reissued in 1952. In that year, she published The Sea Around Us, which
provided a fascinating look beneath the oceans surface, emphasizing human history as well as geology
and marine biology. Her imagery and language had a poetic quality. Carson consulted no less than 1,000
printed sources. She had voluminous correspondence and frequent discussions with experts in the field.
However, she always realized the limitations of her non-technical readers.
In 1962, Carson published Silence Spring, a book that sparked considerable controversy. It proved
how much harm was done by the uncontrolled, reckless use of insecticides. She detailed how they
poison the food supply of animals, kill birds, and contaminate human food. At that time, spokesmen for
the chemical industry mounted personal attacks against Carson and issued propaganda to indicate that
her findings were flawed. However, her work was vindicated by a 1963 report of the Presidents Science
Advisory Committee.
