In the decade of the 1970s, the United Nations organized several important meetings on the human environment to 
study a very serious problem. We humans are destroying the world around us. We are using up all of our natural 
resources. We must learn to conserve them, or life will be very bad for our children and our grandchildren. 
There are several major parts to this problem. 
Population Most problems of the environment come from population growth. In 1700 there were 625 million 
people in the world. In 1900 there were 1.6 billion, in 1950 2.5 billion and in 1980 4.4 billion. In the year 2000 there 
were 6.3 billion. More people need more water, more food, more wood, and more petroleum. 
Distribution Scientists say there is enough water in the world for everyone but some countries have a lot, of water 
and some have only a little. Some areas get all their rain during one season. The rest of the year is dry. 
There are huge forests in. Amazon area of Brazil. In other parts of the world there is only desert. 
Petroleum We are using up the world's petroleum. We use it in our cars and to heat our building in winter. 
Farmers use petrochemicals to make the soil rich. They use them to kill insects that eat plants. These chemicals go 
into rivers and lakes and kill the fish there. Thousands of people also die from these chemicals every. Chemicals also go 
into air and pollute it. Winds carry this polluted air to other countries and other continents. 
Poverty Poor farmers use the same land over and over. The land needs a rest so it will be better next year. Poor 
people cut down trees for firewood. In some areas when the trees are gone, the land becomes desert. However, people 
need wood to cook their food now. Poor people cannot save the environment for the future. 
We now have the information and the ability to solve these huge problems. However, this is not a problem for one 
country or one areas of the world. It is a problem for all humans. The people and the nations of the world must work 
together to converse the world's resources. No one controls the future; but we all help make it.

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. 
 An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans 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 basis, nature's 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 15 ppm. 
44. What does the passage mainly discuss? 
A. The economic impact of air pollution. 
B. What constitutes an air pollutant. 
C. How much harm air pollutants can cause.

47. The word "These" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _____. 
A. the various chemical reactions B. the pollutants from the developing Earth 
C. the compounds moved to the water or soil D. the components in biogeochemical cycles

A. They function as part of a purification process. 
B. They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants. 
C. They are less harmful to living beings than other pollutants.
