SECTION TWO:
READ THE PASSAGE AND CHOOSE THE BEST ANSWERS. (10 m)
Today I’d like to begin a discussion on the problem of the heating up of the earth. First we’ll touch on the relationship between fluorocarbons and the ozone layer. You probably remember that the ozone layer is the protective shield around the earth. It is important to all life, because it filters out harmful ultraviolet light from the sun. Ozone itself, a form of oxygen, is regularly made by the action of the sun in the upper atmosphere. It is also regularly destroyed by natural chemical processes.
The problem now is that too much of the ozone layer is being destroyed. Scientists suspect that certain chemicals, such as fluorocarbons, are contributing to the depletion of the ozone layer. And how do we use fluorocarbons? The most common uses are in spray cans and cooling systems. The chemical pollution from these fluorocarbons can account for some of the ozone losses that have been reported. There are. however, new studies linking the sun itself to the depletion of the ozone layer. We’ll go into that new study more next time.
Your answer
1.Who is the most likely speaker?
a. a doctor b. a mechanic c. a professor d. a chemist 1……….
2.What is the speaker’s main topic?
a. ultraviolet light b. the use of spray cans
c. air-conditioning systems d. fluorocarbons and the ozone layer 2……….
3.What is the most important purpose of the ozone layer?
a. providing fluorocarbons b. shielding the sun
c. protecting the earth d. destroying chemicals 3……….
4.What is the ozone layer made of?
a. fluorocarbons b. oxygen c. shields d. ultraviolet light 4……….
5.What will the speaker probably discuss next?
a. how to make air conditioners with fluorocarbons
b. harmful effects of ultraviolet light
c. the make up of the ozone layer
d. the sun as a cause of ozone layer depletion 5……….
SECTION THREE:
ILLEGAL DRUGS IN SPORT
Athletes who compete at international events like the Olympic Games work very hard to improve their performances. With the proper training, they can break records set at previous events. It is always very exciting to watch someone with a race, especially if she or he has just become the fastest runner in the world.In recent years, however, it has been discovered that some athletes use illegal drugs to help them achieve better results. Without these drugs, some athletes could not perform well enough to win their races.
At the 1988 Olympics in South Korea, the athletes were banned for taking such illegal drugs. Ben Johnson, the Canadian runner, was one of them. After he won the 100-metre race, he was tested for drugs. The test proved that he had used an illegal drug in order to run faster. He was disqualified from the race, and another runner became the winner.
There are three main reasons for not using illegal drugs. Firstly, many of them are very dangerous. Athletes who use them often become very ill and sometimes even die. The second reason is that if they are discovered in the athlete’s body, he or she will be disqualified from international sporting events and may even be banned from competing for many years.
The last reason for not using these drugs is that they give the athletes an unfair advantage. Someone who uses them is cheating. Imagine that you are a very good athlete and that you have trained hard for many years. Suddenly, another runner beats you in the race. Then you discovered that she or he could not run as fast as you before she or he started taking drugs. How would you feel? Of course, there are many good drugs that athletes can use for illnesses.
These are given to them by doctors and are not banned by groups like the International Olympic Committee.
