3) Today I’d like to begin a discussion on the problem of heating up of the earth. First,
we’ll touch on the relationship between fluorocarbons and the ozone layer. You
probably remember that the ozone layer is the protective shield around the earth. It is
important to all life, because it filters out harmful ultraviolet light from the sun. Ozone
itself, a form of oxygen, is regularly destroyed by natural chemical processes.
The problem now is that too much of the ozone layer is being destroyed.
Scientists suspect that certain chemicals, such as fluorocarbons, are contributing to the
depletion of the ozone layer. And how do we use fluorocarbons? The most common
uses are in spray cans and cooling systems. The chemical pollution from these
fluorocarbon can account for some of ozone losses that have been reported. There are,
however, new studies linking the sun itself to the depletion of the ozone layer. We’ll go
into that new study more next time.
1. Who is the most likely speaker?
A. A doctor B. A mechanic C. A professor D. A chemist
2. What is the speaker’s main topic?
A. Ultraviolet light B. The use of spray can
C. Air- conditioning systems D. Fluorocarbon and the ozone layer.
3. What is the most important purpose of the ozone layer?
A. Providing fluorocarbons B. Protecting the earth
C. Shielding the sun D. Destroying chemicals.
4. What is the ozone layer made of?
A. Fluorocarbons B. Oxygen C. Shields D. Ultraviolet light.
5. What will the speaker probably discuss next?
