Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the

Sunlight is solar energy. Sunlight is needed for growing plants that you eat to get energy.
Sunlight is also used to make clean electricity. Burning fossil fuels to make electricity pollutes our
atmosphere and rivers. Fossil fuels are expensive and limited sources of energy. Nuclear fission is
used to create enormous amount of heat and electricity. However, nuclear fission forms dangerous
radioactive waste.
Sunlight offers many ways to get energy. A window can allow warm sunlight into your room.
Solar water-heating systems can use sunlight to warm the water for your home, swimming pool and
school. Sunlight also warms the Earth and causes wind. Electricity can be made by wind generators.
Photovoltaic, or PV system use a type of material that converts sunlight into electricity. PV
systems can power your air conditioner or a satellite like the International Space Station. PV systems
are also used to run a calculator, recharge cell phone, or even power lightweight cars.
Sunlight is also changed into electricity by concentrating solar power or CSP systems. CSP
systems have mirrors that focus the sunlight. The concentrated sunlight turns water into steam which
turns a turbine that is connected to an electric generator. A CSP system usually uses sunlight to make
steam. CSP power plants can store large amount of heat. The stored heat is used to make electricity at
night. During cloudy days, many CSP plants can also burn natural gas to provide the heat that is used
to turn water into steam. Sunlight provides the energy needed to grow plants and make large amount of

Pollution emitted in industrial areas represents a threat to human health and the surrounding

environmental damage, and often forget about the possible long-term effects of harmful production
practices. We may think that the closure of these huge industrial areas would improve the quality of

the environment. Unfortunately, this ignores the threat of the remaining waste, which is abandoned
and poorly stored. It represents an even bigger danger because it stands neglected as it degrades and
leaks into the earth without any control at all.
Changes in the water chemistry due to surface water contamination can affect all levels of an
ecosystem. It can affect the health of lower food chain organisms and, consequently, the availability of
food up through the food chain. It can damage the health of wetlands and damage their ability to
support healthy ecosystems, control flooding, and filter pollutants from storm water runoff. The health
of animals and humans are affected when they drink or bathe in contaminated water. In addition,
water-based organisms, like fish and shellfish, can pile up and concentrate contaminants in their bodies.
When other animals or humans eat these organisms, they receive a much higher dose of contaminant
than they would have if they had been directly exposed to the original contamination.
Contaminated groundwater can badly affect animals, plants and humans if it is removed from the
ground by man-made or natural processes. Depending on the study of rocks of the area, groundwater

may rise to the surface through springs or seeps, flow sideways into nearby rivers, streams, or ponds,
or sink deeper into the earth. In many parts of the world, groundwater is pumped out of the ground to
be used for drinking, bathing, other household uses, agriculture, and industry.
Contaminants in the soil can harm plants when they take up the contamination through their roots.
Eating, breathing in, or touching contaminated soil, as well as eating plants or animals that have piled
up soil contaminants can badly affect the health of humans and animals.
Air pollution can cause breathing-related problems and other bad health effects as contaminants
are absorbed from the lungs into other parts of the body. Certain air contaminants can also harm
animals and humans when they contact the skin. Plants rely on breathing for their growth and can also
be affected by exposure to contaminants moved in the air.
Question 36: Which is the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Sources of environmental damage

B. The pollution from the city

C. Bad effects of industrial waste

D. The quality of the environment
