99.98.698 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 questions The air above our head is becoming cleaner A breath of fresh air has been running right round the planet for the past five years The planet is apparently purging itself of pollution Paul Novell of the University of Colorado, the co-author of a report on this phenomenon says, “It seems as if the planet’s own cleaning service has suddenly got a new lease of life Suddenly, there are a lot of changes going on up there” Estimates of the death toll from urban smog have been steadily rising, so the new cleaner trend could have significant consequences for life expectancy in cities as well as for the planet itself The sudden and unexpected reversal of several decades of worsening pollution extends from the air in city streets to the remotest mid-Pacific Ocean and Antarctica Among the pollutants which have begun to disappear from the atmosphere are carbon monoxide, from car exhaust and burning rain forests, and methane from the guts of cattle, paddy fields, and gas fields Even carbon dioxide, the main gas behind global warning, has fallen slightly There are two theories about why pollution is disappearing First that there is less pollution to start with due to laws to cut down urban smog and acid rain starting to have a global impact Second, that the planet may be becoming more efficient at cleaning up The main planetary clean-up agent is a chemical called hydroxyl It is present throughout the atmosphere in tiny quantities and removes most pollutants from the air by oxidizing them The amount of hydroxyl in the air has fallen by a quarter in 1980s Now it may be reviving for two reasons : ironically, because the ozone hole has expanded, letting in more ultraviolet radiation into the lower atmosphere, where it manufactures hydroxyl Then the stricter controls on vehicles exhaust in America and Europe may have cut global carbon monoxide emission, thereby allowing more hydroxyl to clean up other pollutants 59 What is the main topic of the passage? A The decreasing pollution of the atmosphere B The oxygenation of the atmosphere C The changing pollutants in the atmosphere D Hydroxyl’s influence on the atmosphere 60 The word “purging” in line is closest in meaning to A destroying B refining C filtering D ridding 61 According to the passage, life expectancy partly depends on people having A recommendations from university research B access to details about atmosphere C improvement in atmosphere conditions D changes in their lifestyle 62 The word “toll” in line could best be replaced by A costs B count C damage D loss 63 What does the author suggest is the main cause of pollution reduction? A Less impact from burning forest B A smaller number of cars C A curtailment of chemicals D Fewer cattle and gas field 64 The word “it” in paragraph refers to A urban smog B a clean-up agent C acid rain D the ozone hole 65 It can be inferred from the passage that the cleansing of the planet is A inexplicable B confusing C surprising D predictable 66 The word “reviving” in line 18 is closest in meaning to TRUNG TÂM English Trang 5/7 Super Mã đề thi 125 271 Ngõ THỊNH QUANG, ĐỐNG ĐA -HÀ NỘI Tác giả :Thầy Nguyễn Sơn 094 99.98.698 A reappearing B refreshing C reproducing D repeating 67 All of the following information referring to hydroxyl is true EXCEPT A the reduction in the ozone layer is beneficial to hydroxyl B Oxidization of pollutants is carried out by hydroxyl C there is difficulty in destroying carbon dioxide by hydroxyl D ultraviolet radiation increases production of hydroxyl 68 The passage supports which of the following conclusion?
