Bacalaureat 2005

Biletul Nr. 4

1. Read the text carefully and answer the questions:


a. Who threatens nature?
b. What are the main sources of pollution mentioned in the
text?
c. What could we do to protect our future from destruction?

The natural world is under violent assault from man.


The seas and rivers are being poisoned by radioactive wastes, by chemical
discharges and by the dumping of dangerous toxins and raw sewage. The air we
breathe is polluted by smoke and fumes from factories and motor vehicles: even
the rain is poisoned.
In time lakes are being destroyed and everywhere wild life is disappearing.
Yet the destructions continue.
Governments and industries throughout the world are intensifying their
efforts to extract the earth's mineral riches and to plunder its living resources.
The great rain-forests and the frozen continents alike are seriously
threatened. And this despite the warnings of the scientific community and the
deep concern of millions of ordinary people.
Despite the fact, too, that we can create environmentally-clean industries,
harness the power of the sun, wind and waves for our energy need and manage
the finite resources of the earth in a way that will safeguard our future and
protect all the rich variety of the life-forms which share this planet -with us.

2. Talk about a trip you once took and say what makes it special
to you.
