Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water.Having
clean drinking water is a basic human right. However, acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage have
made many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools
of poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of the largest

lakes in the world. It contains a rich variety of animals and plants, including 1, 300 rare species that do
not exist anywhere else in the world. Yet, they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial
effluent which pour into the lake every day. Even though laws have been made, the government do not
have the power to enforce them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea
occupies 1% of the world's water surface, but it is the dumping ground for 50% of all marine pollution.
Almost 16 countries regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles off shore.
Water is free to everyone. A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean water in the world was
