advances are making turbines cheaper, and (2) _______ governments offer tax incentives to spur wind-
energy development. Drawbacks include complaints from (3) _______ that wind turbines are ugly and
noisy. The slowly rotating blades can also kill birds and bats, but not nearly as many as cars, power lines,
and high-rise buildings do. The wind is also variable: If it's not blowing, there's no electricity generated.
Nevertheless, the wind energy industry is (4) _______. Thanks to global efforts to combat climate change,
such as the Paris Agreement, renewable energy is seeing a boom in growth, in (5) _______ wind energy
has led the way. From 2000 to 2015, cumulative wind capacity around the world increased from 17,000
megawatts to more than 430,000 megawatts. In 2015, China also surpassed the EU in the number of
installed wind turbines and continues to lead installation efforts.

correct answer to each of the questions.
Stella McCartney was born in 1972, the daughter of pop star Sir Paul McCartney. She is the youngest
of three sisters. One sister is a potter and the other sister does the same job as their mother used to do -
she works as a photographer. Stella's brother, James, is a musician. Stella first hit the newspaper headlines
in 1995 when she graduated in fashion design from art college. At her final show, her clothes were
modeled by her friends, Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss, both well-known models. Unsurprisingly, the
student show became front-page news around the world. Stella hadn't been in the news before as a fashion
designer but she had spent time working in the fashion world since she was fifteen. In March 1997, Stella
went to work for the fashion house Chloe. People said the famous fashion house had given her the job
because of her surname and her famous parents but Stella soon showed how good she was. She designs
clothes which she would like to wear herself, although she's not a model, and many famous models and
actors choose to wear them. In 2001 Stella started her own fashion house and has since opened stores
around the world and won many prizes. A lifelong vegetarian, McCartney does not use any leather or fur
in her design. Instead, she uses silk, wool and other animal-derived fabrics.

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.
An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the atmosphere
in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials adversely. Air pollution requires
a very flexible definition that permits continuous changes. When the first air pollution laws were
established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be
seen or smelled- a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known today. As technology has
developed and knowledge of health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants
has lengthened. In the future, even water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain
conditions.
Many of more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxides and nitrogen oxides
are found in nature. As the Earth developed, the concentration of these pollutants was altered by various
chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycles. These serve as an air purification
scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil. On a global basis, nature's
output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities.
However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city. In such region, human
output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycles. The
result is an concentration of noxious chemicals in the air. The concentrations at which the adverse effects
appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human
activities. The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact, the
numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the
concentration that would occur naturally in the area. For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health
effects at 0. 08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level. Carbon monoxide,
however has a natural level of 0. 1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm.
Question 11. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. How much harm air pollutants can cause.
B. The effects of compounds added to the atmosphere.
C. What constitutes an air pollutant?
D. The economic impact of air pollution.
Question 12. The word “adversely” in the first paragraph in closest in meaning to __________.
A. negatively B. quickly C. admittedly D. considerably
Question 13. The word “These” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to __________.
A. the compounds moved to the water or soil
B. the components in biogeochemical cycles
C. the pollutants from the developing Earth
D. the various chemical reactions
Question 14. For which of the following reasons can natural pollutants play an important role in
controlling air pollution?
A. They have existed since the Earth developed.
B. They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants.
C. They are less harmful to living beings than other pollutants.
D. They function as part of a purification process.
Question 15. According to the passage, human-generated air pollution in localized regions __________.
A. can overwhelm the natural system that removes pollutants
B. can be dwarfed by nature’s output of pollutants
C. will damage areas outside of the localized regions
D. will react harmfully with natural pollutants
Question 16. According to the passage, the numerical value of the concentration level of a substance is
only useful if __________.
A. it is in a localized area B. the other substances in the area are known
C. it can be calculated quickly D. the natural level is also known
Question 17. The word “detectable” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.
A. beneficial B. separable C. special D. measurable
Question 18. Which of the following is best supported by the passage?
A. One of the most important steps in preserving natural lands is to better enforce air pollution
laws.
B. Human activities have been effective in reducing air pollution.
C. To effectively control pollution, local government should regularly review their air pollution
laws.
D. Scientists should be consulted in order to establish uniform limits for all air pollutants.
