Part One : Reading And Interpreting (14pts)
A/ Comprehension: Read the text carefully and do the activities.

Most human beings seem to be quite unaware that the small blue planet on which we live is very fragile . Despite warnings , we continue to inflict irreversible damage on it .
The atmosphere , our water resources , the soil , even our food , is all contaminated largely as a result of our own actions. We create deserts and create floods by destroying our forests . Our homes and workplaces are polluted by tobacco we smoke , by harmful particles from the materials we use and the emanation toxic gases. We can no longer afford to ignore the warnings we are given by our scientists . If we don’t want to condemn our children to a life of peril , it is time for us to reflect upon the consequences of our daily actions .
Once , the atmosphere was pure . Now the quantity of polluting gases emitted into the atmosphere exceeds nature’s capacity to absorb them . The equilibrium is broken and we are threatened by and ever lengthening list of perils : the green house effect , the gap in the ozone layer , climatic change , a rise in the sea level
