 Test 1 ХТФ ІІ курс І семестр
The greenhouse effect is a benign feature of the ecosystem. Certain gases in the
atmosphere, such as CO2, CH4 , N2O, O3, CFC, allow the sunlight reach the earth but
prevent the heat from escaping and thus the temperature of the earth remains stable. These
five different gases have different influence on the "greenhouse." Besides, the steam of water
can also lead to the greenhouse effect. The sensitivity of the climatic system to greenhouse
gases is such that the equivalent of a doubling of CO2 could ultimately increase the average
global temperature by somewhere between 1°C and 5°C.
But nowadays the greenhouse gases absorb sunlight and infrared radiation which
produces heat and it increases continuously. In principle, the temperature of the earth also
increases. And this is so-called "Green House Effect".
At present, the concentration of carbon dioxide doubles that before the Industrial
Revolution. And the global temperature has increased about 1.5-3.5J. People have altered the
composition of the atmosphere. Coal-burning factories and motorcycles release more carbon
dioxide into the atmosphere than oceans and forests can absorb. Consequently, the carbon
dioxide content of the atmosphere could double the present level within the next fifty years.
People may ask: "Is it a serious problem? " My answer is: "Yes!" The global warming
can effect us in many aspects, first of all, the level of the oceans has risen. A rise of sea level
may accompany global warming, possibly in the range of 10 to 60 cm. It means that some
islands may disappear quietly and without leaving a trace. In addition, the global warming
causes crisis to the ecosystem and agriculture. Some animals and plants suffer a lot of
difficulties due to the global warming. To sum up, the greenhouse effect not only affects
human lives but also causes financial losses.

 Test 2 ХТФ ІІ курс І семестр
Water pollution occurs mostly when people overload the water environment with
wastes. It's defined as contamination of streams, lakes, underground water, bays or
oceans by substances harmful to living things.
All organisms contain water, some drink it, some live in it. Water pollution can
kill large numbers of fish, birds, and other animals, in some cases killing all members
of a species in an affected area.
Pollution makes streams, lakes, and coastal waters unpleasant to look at, to smell,
and to swim in. Fish and shellfish harvested from polluted waters may be unsafe to
eat. People who swallow polluted water can become ill and if they're exposed for a long
time, may develop cancers, or have children with birth defects.
There are two types of water pollution: point source and nonpoint source. Point
sources of pollution occur when harmful substances are put directly into a body of
water. A nonpoint source is when pollutants enter the water indirectly through
environmental changes, like when fertilizer is carried into a stream by rain.
The major water pollutants are chemical, biological, and physical materials that
lessen the water quality. Pollutants can be separated into different classes:
1. Petroleum Products - oil and chemicals from oil are used for fuel,
lubrication, plastics manufacturing, and many other purposes. Many petroleum
products are poisonous if ingested by animals and spilled oil damages the feathers
of birds and the fur of animals, often causing death.
2. Pesticides and Herbicides - chemicals used to kill unwanted animals and plants
may be carried into streams by rainwater. These chemicals can remain dangerous for a
long time.
When an animal eats a plant that's been treated with certain indecomposable
chemicals, the chemicals are absorbed into the tissues or the organs of the animals.
When other animals feed on a contaminated animal, the chemicals are passed up to
them. As it goes up through the food chain, the chemical becomes more harmful, so
animals at the top of the food chains may suffer cancers, reproductive problems, and
death.

Text for listening comprehension
Air pollution

One of results of air pollution is acid rain. Acid rain basically appears when factories
release high levels of sulfur into the air. The sulfur then combines with rainwater to form a
weak sulfuric acid. Acid rain itself cannot harm humans, but it can harm our environment
and our quality of life. Over time, the acid rain will kill plants, weaken structures and homes
used by humans, and can even kill life in entire lakes and rivers. And since studies have yet
to be completely conclusive, nobody knows how it affects us physically in the long run.
One of the reasons it is such a threat is because it travels in the air and may fall on areas
that did not produce it. Since acid rain can be prevented by government regulation, stopping
the release of sulfur into the air is a definite first step to curbing acid rain.
In early 1974, scientists warned governments across the globe that the release of
certain industrial chemicals, such as CFCs and Halons, could result in a thinning of our
ozone layer. The ozone layer is a part of our atmosphere that prevents most Ultraviolet rays
from entering the earth's surface layer. It allows only enough high-energy radiation to enter
so that Vitamin D in humans can become active. Too much radiation, and certain human
mutations begin to occur. In 1985, a hole in the ozone layer was discovered over Antarctica.
Over the past 10 years, more and more holes were discovered over different parts of the
world. Since then, skin cancer rates have skyrocketed, as well as levels of radiation among
human beings. "Almost 4% of the world population will encounter some type of skin
cancer within the next five years. Contrary to popular belief, skin cancer can be
deadly if not treated properly. All of these problems stem from air pollution created
by factories and plants. If we can reduce air pollution, the air may be clean within
the next 100 or 150 years.
