to indicate the correct answer to each of the question from 13 to 19.
An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to
the atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials
adversely. Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous change.
When the first air pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air
pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled - a far cry from the

extensive list of harmful substances known today. As technology has developed and
knowledge of the health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants
has lengthened. In the future, even water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under
certain conditions.
Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide,
and nitrogen oxides, are found in nature. As the Earth developed, the concentration of these
pollutants was altered by various chemical reactions; they became components in
biogeochemical cycles. These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the
compounds to move from the air to the water or soil. On a global basis, nature's output of
these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities.
However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city. In such
a region, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural
purification scheme of the cycles. The result is an increased concentration of noxious
chemicals in the air. The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater
than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities.
The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact, the
numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the
concentration that would occur naturally in the area. For example, sulfur dioxide has
detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its
natural level. Carbon monoxide, however, has a natural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a
pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm.

A. specified
B. circled

Question 14: The word "These" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to__________.
A. the compounds moved to the water or soil C. the pollutants from the developing Earth

B. the various chemical reactions

concentration level of a substance is only useful if _______.
A. the other substances in the area are known
C. it is in a localized area
B. it can be calculated quickly
D. the natural level is also known
Question 16: It can be inferred from the first paragraph that _______.
A. the definition of air pollution will continue to change
B. water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areas
C. most air pollutants today can be seen or smelled

MOBILE PHONES: ARE THEY ABOUT TO TRANSFORM OUR LIVES?
We love them so much that some of us sleep with them under the pillow, yet we are
increasingly concerned that we cannot escape their electronic reach. We use them to convey
our most intimate secrets, yet we worry that they are a threat to our privacy. We rely on
them more than the Internet to cope with modern life, yet many of us don’t believe
advertisements saying we need more advanced services.
Sweeping aside the doubts that many people feel about the benefits of new third
generation phones and fears over the health effects of phone masts, a recent report claims
that the long-term effects of new mobile technologies will be entirely positive so long as the
public can be convinced to make use of them. Research about users of mobile phones
reveals that the mobile has already moved beyond being a mere practical communications

tool to become the backbone of modern social life, from love affairs to friendship to work.
The close relationship between user and phone is most pronounced among
teenagers, the report says, who regard their mobiles as an expression of their identity. This is
partly because mobiles are seen as being beyond the control of parents. But the researchers
suggest that another reason may be that mobiles, especially text messaging, were seen as a
way of overcoming shyness. The impact of phones, however, has been local rather than
global, supporting existing friendship and networks, rather than opening users to a new
broader community. Even the language of texting in one area can be incomprehensible to
anybody from another area.
Among the most important benefits of using mobile phones, the report claims, will be
a vastly improved mobile infrastructure, providing gains throughout the economy, and the
provision of a more sophisticated location-based services for users. The report calls on
government to put more effort into the delivery of services by mobile phone, with suggestion
including public transport and traffic information and doctors’ text messages to remind
patients of appointments. There are many possibilities. At a recent trade fair in Sweden, a
mobile navigation product was launched. When the user enters a destination, a route is
automatically downloaded to their mobile and presented by voices, pictures and maps as
they drive. In future, these devices will also be able to plan around congestion and road
works in real time. Third generation phones will also allow for remote monitoring of patients
by doctors. In Britain, scientists are developing an asthma management solution using
mobiles to detect early signs of an attack.
Mobile phones can be used in education. A group of teachers in Britain use third
generation phones to provide fast internet service to children who live beyond the reach of
terrestrial broadband services and can have no access to online information. ‘As the new
generation of mobile technologies takes off, the social potential will vastly increase,’ the
report argues.
