Read the following passage about dangers at the ends of the earth and mark the letter A, B, c, or D to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
Welcome to Nunavik - a beautiful landscape of forests, blue skies and clear waters. You might think that
Nunavik's geographical position at the ends of the Earth keeps it safe from big city problems like air and water
pollution.
Unfortunately, the pretty villages of Nunavik have not escaped the problems that the rest of the world is
facing, too. Some years ago, scientists made a worrying discovery. An extremely dangerous group of chemicals
known as 'persistent organic pollutants' (or POPs) were attacking the Arctic environment. POPs are used
everywhere - in TVs, in lights and in paint. They are also sprayed onto crops as pesticides. Over time, they
become gas and go into the air, and the wind carries them thousands of kilometres.
POPs can cause cancer and allergies, as well as other damage. They can also cause developmental
problems in babies and children. Clearly, something had to be done about the problem and so in the 1990s, the
United Nations held a meeting called the Stockholm Convention to discuss banning lots of the POP chemicals.
Since then, many countries have agreed to start producing fewer POP chemicals, and as a result, levels of POPs
in the Arctic are diminishing.
It will take many years for the problem to go away. For one thing, buildings around the world still
have many tons of POPs in their paint and wiring. For all the people and animals in the Arctic regions, their only
hope is the work of scientists and the help of the rest of the world in putting an end to POPs once and for all.

Read the following passage about megacities in China and mark the letter A, B, c, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
[I] Right now, an important transformation has already begun and it looks like it will continue for years
to come. [II] China is a country where the population is in movement. Some experts calculate that over 260
million people are moving, more than the entire population of a huge country like Brazil! [Ill] At the moment,
less than half the population of China lives in cities, but that situation is changing and it is changing fast. [IV]
Traditionally, the majority of the population of China has lived in quiet, rural areas. But industry is
growing so fast that there is constant need for new workers in the city, in factories, construction sites, shops and
offices. Until recently there was no need to build such enormous cities in China. But now there is an urgent
need to build, to build big, tall and fast.
Few Chinese people live in detached or semi-detached houses. So, many large blocks of flats have
appeared in the suburbs of these new Chinese megacities to accommodate the new arrivals. Day by day, these
lively new megacities keep expanding. As cities increase in size, they eat up historic old buildings and invade
the quiet villages nearby. Nearly 160 Chinese cities have passed one million inhabitants in the last 20 years and
they continue to grow today. The future consequences of these enormous changes are still difficult to
predict, both for China and for the whole planet.
Luckily, China has already realised the impact that megacities could have on the environment. So they
have started designing and building new 'eeo-eities'. In these eco-cities there is an emphasis on clean, renewable
energy. For example, in one eco-city engineers have just started work on the construction of the world's tallest
and greenest skyscrapers, the Phoenix Towers. The idea of these stunning towers is to use solar power for
electricity and to collect rainwater for the use of the residents. Hopefully, with plans like this China's megacities
can be attractive, clean, modem and good for the environment.
