VI. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer, A, B, C, or D. (1 pt.) 
 One of the most urgent environment problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water. Having clean drinking 
water is a basic human right. But 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 variety of animals and plants, including 1,300 rare species that do not exist 
anywhere else in the world. But they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial liquid wastes which pour 
into the lake every day. Even where law existed, the government did 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 unlimited. 
Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and sewage. Clean water is now scare, and we are at last 
beginning to respect this precious source. We should do something now.

The (38)...... of the world's deserts are always changing. Over millions of years, as climates change and mountains rise, 
new dry and wet areas develop. But within the last 100 years, deserts have been (39)...... . This is partly because of natural 
changes, but the greatest desert makers are humans. 
 In developing countries, 90 percent of the people use wood (40)....... They cut down trees for firewood. But trees are 
important. They cool the land under them and keep the sun off smaller plants. When leaves fall from a tree, they make the 
land richer. When the trees are gone, the smaller plants die, and (41)....... 
 Humans can make deserts, but humans can also prevent their growth. Some countries planted a green wall of trees across 
the edge of deserts to stop (42)....... Others put a thin covering of petroleum on sandy areas and plant trees, or build long 
canals to bring water to the desert areas.
