I Text Reading and Comprehension

1. Environmentalists have identified these problems:

the extinction of plant and animal life ________________

global warming / the greenhouse effect________________

world population growth________________

human and industrial garbage________________

1.1. Match the texts with one of these problems.

B

A
With countries all over the world producing millions
of tons of domestic rubbish and toxic industrial
onm
waste, its becoming difficult to find suitable locations
to get rid of all the refuse. This is becoming a
general threat to our health. It is the developed and
industrialised countries that produce the highest
amount of waste.

If the levels of carbon dioxide and other

gases that contribute to the warming up of
the atmosphere arent radically reduced,
their ability to retain heat may mean that
earths temperature will rise by 3 degrees
C over the next 60 years. The main
sources of CO2 are the cars, factories, the
developed world and the burning of
tropical forests in the less developed
countries.

B
Forests were cut down by progress in the
modern world. The destruction of forests
and other habitats is causing great danger
to hundreds of species of plants and
animal life. These losses are particularly
severe in the areas of tropical forests
which cover only 7% of the surface of the
planet but which provide the living space
for between 50% and 80% of the entire
planets wildlife.

C
There are more and more people in the world and
because of this the environment is at risk. Theres no
time to recuperate the land because of the constant
struggle to produce more food. Besides, too much
people leads to too much pollution.
