Task 2.Read the texts below. Match choices (A-H) to (1-5). There are three choices you do not need to use.

1.   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]Acid rain moves easily, affecting locations far beyond those that let out the pollution. As a result, this global pollution issue causes great debates between countries that fight over polluting each other’s environments. The problem is that acid rain, one of the most important environmental problems of all, cannot be seen. Some scientists think that human production is primarily responsible, while others cite natural causes as well.

2.   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]Air pollution has many disastrous effects that need to be curbed. In order to accomplish this, governments, scientists and environmentalists are using or testing a variety of methods aimed at reducing pollution. There are two main types of pollution control. Input controls are usually more effective than output controls. Output controls are also more expensive, making them less desirable to tax payers and polluting industries.

3.   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]Global warming is called the greenhouse effect because the gases that are gathering above the Earth make the planet comparable to a greenhouse. By trapping heat, the greenhouse effect is warming the planet and threatening the environment. Current fears stem largely from the fact that global warming is occurring at such a rapid pace. Models are predicting that over the next century, the global temperature will rise by several degrees.

4.   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]Individuals often throw out goods without realizing that they could be dangerous for the environment. No matter where people put these materials, there is always a chance that they could find their way into the ground, and eventually into our bodies. Special research is necessary to provide data on the effects of every chemical as well as to learn how combinations of these chemicals affect human health.

5.   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]Only a few factors combine to create the problem of ozone layer depletion. The production and emission of CFCs, chloroiluorocarbons, is by far the leading cause. Many countries have called for the end of CFC production. However, those industries that do use CFCs do not want to discontinue usage of this highly valuable industrial chemical. So it's important to make people realize the disaster CFCS cause in the stratosphere.

A Hazardous Waste

B Invisible Threat

C Primary Reason

D Possible Solutions

E Global Destruction

F Disastrous Growth

G Water Shortage

H Quick Change

Task 3.Read the texts below. Match choices (A-H) to (1-6). There are two choices you do not need to use.

1.   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]The Flag of Scotland, the Saltire or St. Andrew's Cross, dates (as it is given at least in legend) from the 9th century, and is thus the oldest national flag still in use. The Saltire now also forms part of the design of the Union Flag.

2.   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]The Royal Standard of Scotland, a banner showing the Royal Arms of Scotland, is also frequently to be seen, particularly at sporting events involving a Scottish team. Often called the Lion Rampant (after its chief heraldic device), it is technically the property of the monarch and its use by anybody else is illegal, although this is almost universally ignored, and never enforced.

3.   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]The unicorn is also used as a heraldic symbol of Scotland. The Royal Coat of Arms of Scotland, used prior to 1603 by the King of Scotland, incorporated a lion rampant shield supported by two unicorns On the Union of the Crowns, the Arms were quartered with those of England and Ireland, and one unicorn was replaced by a lion (the supporters of England).

4.   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]The Honours of Scotland, the Scottish Crown Jewels, are displayed in the Crown Room of Edinburgh Castle, from where they are removed only for State Occassions. Stylised versions of the Crown of Scotland appear upon the badges of the Royal Regiment of Scotland, those of the Scottish Police Forces, the Scottish Ambulance Service and upon Royal Mail premises, vehicles and pillar/wall boxes in Scotland.

5.   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]The thistle, the Floral emblem of Scotland, features in many Scottish symbols and logos, and on UK Currency. Heather is also considered to be a symbol of Scotland but is less popular.

6.   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]’Flower of Scotland' is popularly held to be the National Anthem of Scodand, and is played at international events such as football or rugby matches involving the Scotland national team. However, since devolution, more serious discussion of a national anthem has led to this being disputed.

C a heraldic symbol of Scotland often used with the Lion Rampant

D a symbol that features on UK currency
