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.
The air above our head is becoming cleaner. A breath of fresh air has been
running right round the planet for the past five years. The planet is apparently
purging itself of pollution. Paul Novell of the University of Colorado, the co-author of
a report on this phenomenon says, ‘It seems as if the planet’s own cleaning service
has suddenly got a new lease of life. Suddenly, there are a lot of changes going on up
there.’
Estimates of the death toll from urban smogs have been steadily rising, so the
new cleaner trend could have significant consequences for life expectancy in cities as
well as for the planet itself. The sudden and unexpected reversal of several decades
of worsening pollution extends from the air in city streets to the remotest mid-
Pacific Ocean and Antartica.
Among the pollutants which have begun to disappear from the atmosphere
are carbon monoxide, from car exhausts and burning rainforests, and methane from
the guts of cattle, paddy fields and gas fields. Even carbon dioxide, the main gas
behind global warming, has fallen slightly.
There are two theories about why pollution is disappearing. First, that there
is less pollution to start with due to laws to cut down urban smogs and acid rain
starting to have a global impact. Second, that the planet may be becoming more
efficient at cleaning up.
The main planetary clean-up agent is a chemical called hydroxyl. It is present
throughout the atsmosphere in tiny quantities and remove most pollutants from the
air by oxidizing them. The amount of hydroxyl in the air had fallen by a quarter in the
1980s. Now, it may be reviving for two reasons: ironically, because the ozone hole
has expanded, letting in more ultraviolet radiation into the lower atmosphere, where
it manufactures hydroxyl. Then the stricter control on vehicle exhausts in America
and Europe may have cut global carbon monoxide emissions, thereby allowing more
hydroxyl to clean up other pollutants.

33. What is the main topic of the passage?

A. The decreasing pollution of the atmosphere.
 B. The changing pollutants in the atmosphere
C. Hydroxyl’s influence on the atmosphere
D. The oxygenation of the atmosphere.
34. According to the passage, life expectancy partly depends on people having
A. access to details about atmospheric pollution
B. recommendations from university research
C. improvement in atmospheric conditions
D. changes in their lifestyles
35. The word ‘It’ refers to
A. urban smog C. a clean-up agent
B. acid rain D. the ozone hole
36. Based on information in the passage, all of the following information referring to
hydroxyl is true EXCEPT
A. the reduction in the ozone layer is beneficial to hydroxyl
B. oxydization of pollutants is carried out by hydroxyl
C. there is difficulty in destroying carbon dioxide by hydroxyl
D. ultraviolet radiation increases production of hydroxyl
37. The word ‘purging’ is closest in meaning to
A. destroying B. refining C. filtering D. ridding
