IV. Read the following passage and then choose the best answer.

One of the most urgent environment problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water. Having

clean drinking water is a basic human right. But acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage have made many

sources of water undrinkable. Lakes and even entire seas have become large pools of poison. Lake Baikal in

Russia is one of largest lake 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. But they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of

industrial pollutants which pour into the lake everyday. Even where law existed, the government did 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 sixteen

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 limitless. Today, many water supplies have been

ruined by pollution and sewage. Clean water is now scarce, and we are at last beginning to respect this precious

source. We should do something now.
