PART ONE: READING (15points)

A) Comprehension: (8points)
Read the text carefully then do the activities.
High above the earth’s atmosphere, there is a thin veil in the stratosphere which
protects the earth from the sun’s destructive ultraviolet rays (UV).
This protective layer, called the ozone layer, is being damaged by chemicals known as
chlorofluoro carbons (CFC’s) which are released into the atmosphere by the daily use of
such industrial and household products as refrigerators, air-conditioners, foam insulation,
cleaning chemicals and food packaging. The CFC’s rise into the ozone layer, where the
sunlight decomposes them, releasing chlorine.
The chlorine attacks the ozone molecules, thinning or even making a “hole” in the
ozone layer. This “hole” allows more UV rays to penetrate to the earth.
Overexposure to UV rays can increase the risk of skin cancer, weaken the immune
system and damage the retina. Specialists say” In the United States alone, one in six
Americans will develop skin cancer as a result of overexposure to UV rays.”
Not only are people at risk; so, too are animals, plants and the environment in general.
With the thinning of the ozone layer, UV rays can penetrate the oceans, seriously impair
the growth of plankton, an essential part of the marine life food chain, and can reduce the
yields of economically important crops such as cotton, soy- beans and rice.
