Task 2: READING COMPREHENSION
Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question below
(7)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 concentrations of these pollutants were 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 this localized 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
81 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 D The effects of compounds added to the atmosphere 82 The word "adversely" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to

A eliminated B caused C slowed D changed
(8)following reasons?
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 are other pollutants. D They have existed since the Earth developed.
86 According to the passage, which of the following is true about human generated air pollution in
localized regions?
A It can be dwarfed by nature's output of pollutants in the localized region. B It can overwhelm the natural system that removes pollutants.
C It will damage areas outside of the localized regions. D It will react harmfully with naturally occurring pollutants.
87 The word "noxious" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to .
A harmful B noticeable C extensive D weak
88 According to the passage, the numerical value of the concentration level of a substance is only
useful if
A the other substances in the area are known B it is in a localized area
C the naturally occurring level is also known D it can be calculated quickly
89 The word "detectable" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to .
A beneficial B special C measurable D separable
