UNIT 4 WHAT IS A COMPUTER? UNIT 5 UNIT 6 POLLUTION IN UKRAINE Task 3. You are going to read about pollution in Ukraine. Seven sentences have been removed from the text. Choose from the sentences (A-G) the one which fits each gap (1-6). There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use. There is an example at the beginning (1).
Pollution is the contamination of the environment, including air, water, and land, with undesirable amounts of material or energy. 1 ___F___ An industrial and intensively fanned country, Ukraine contains some of the most polluted landscapes in Eastern Europe. Pollution became evident in Ukraine with industrial development in the 19th century. Air pollution is especially severe in many of the heavily industrialized cities and towns of south-eastern Ukraine, notably in Kharkiv, Luhansk, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhia. Coal-using industries, such as metallurgical coke-chemical plants, steel mills, and thermal power plants are major sources of high levels of uncontrolled emissions of sulphur dioxide, dust, unburned hydrocarbons, and other harmful substances. 2. ______. Over one-third of the emissions into the atmosphere originate from automobile transport. That source, which attains overwhelming proportions in cities with little industry, such as Uzhhorod, Yalta, Poltava and Khmelnytskiy, is aggravated by the use of leaded gasoline and inefficient engines as well as a lack of catalytic converters. 3. _______. The high population density, heavy industrial development, and relatively low freshwater endowment of those basins, and the low governmental priority placed upon environmental protection until very recently, have given rise to chronic and serious levels of water pollution throughout Ukraine. The Dnister and the Danube are included among the most polluted bodies of water in the territory of the former Soviet Union. 4. _______. Widespread fear is growing in Ukraine that a substantial fraction of those water arteries are so polluted as to pose fatal health risks to the people who depend on them. About half of the chemical fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides applied in the fields are washed off into rivers. 5. _______. One of the areas suffering most from serious and chronic coastal water pollution is the Sea of Azov. That shallow and previously biologically rich and commercially productive body of water has experienced serious problems of industrial and municipal waste-water contamination and increased levels of salinity since the early 1970s. A primary cause of the sea's ecological deterioration has been the diversion for purposes of irrigation (up to 80 per cent) of fresh, but not necessarily pure, water inflow from the Don and the Kuban rivers. 6. _______. Combined with pollution that increase has resulted in a dramatic drop in fish catches (by 60—90 per cent). Despite repeated warnings and special government anti-pollution resolutions, the conditions in the Sea of Azov continue to deteriorate. Task 4.

You are going to read about ferrous metals. Seven sentences have been removed from the text. Choose from the sentences (A-H) the one which fits each gap (1-7). There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use. There is an example at the beginning (1).
To produce ferrous metals one must combine iron with carbon, silicon, other elements. 1) ___D___ Ferrous metals are used in industry in two general forms: steel and cast iron, which differ in the quantity of carbon content. These two ferrous alloys are derived from pig iron which is produced in a blast furnace in form of pigs. Metals are usually melted and poured into a form which is called a "mould". 2) _______ The cast metal is shaped in the mould where it cools and solidifies. Thus one can cast different objects known as castings. The shop where metals are cast is called a "foundry". Castings are used to produce different types of machinery. Steel is a ferrous material with a carbon content from 0.1% to 1.0%, which makes it much stronger than iron and is therefore widely used in machine building. 3) _______ Therefore the carbon content in steel is confined to certain limits. Semisteel is a name to a metal made by melting 20 to 40% of steel scrap with cast iron in the cupola. Steel castings are more expensive but stronger and tougher. Cast steel normally contains about 0.5% of carbon, and is used to replace cast iron when castings of considerable strength are required. Forged steel is steel that has been hammered, drawn, pressed or rolled in the process of manufacturing of a particular part. Alloy steels are those in which some alloying element in addition to the carbon is present in some appreciable quantity. The principal alloying elements used in steel are nickel, chromium, vanadium, molybdenum, manganese, and to lesser extent, copper, tungsten, cobalt, beryllium and boron. Cast iron contains a higher percentage of carbon than steel does (more than 2.0 %). 4) _______. Cast iron without the addition of alloying elements is weak in tension and shear, strong in compression and has low resistance to impact. It is obtained from the cupola furnace where pig iron is remelted in contact with coke. Grey cast iron has the carbon present in the free or graphite state and is soft, easily machined, and only moderately brittle. White cast iron has most of the carbon in the combined state and is therefore hard and brittle. Malleable cast iron is made by heating white iron castings for a period of several days in airtight pots filled with an oxide of iron. 5) _______. Grey iron foundries are the most numerous because grey iron can be cast into almost any conceivable shape and size. Grey iron is also adapted to a great variety of castings, such as automobile, gas, steam, and hydraulic engine cylinders, bed plates for machines, car wheels, agricultural machinery parts, furnace and stove parts, water pipes, gears, etc. The nature of the metal used for grey iron castings is such that castings can be made so hard that ordinary tool steel will not cut them or, on the other hand, so soft that they can be readily-machined. 6) _______. The alloy of grey castings is composed of iron, carbon, silicon, phosphorus, manganese, and sulphur. These elements are used in different proportions depending on the grade of castings. There is one more kind of ferrous materials - wrought iron. It is quite ductile and can be easily rolled, drawn, forged and welded. 7) _______. The carbon content is generally less than 0.1% and the material must contain not less than 1% slag. Task 3. Find in the text equivalents to the following words and expressions: кількість, вміст вуглецю, чушки, мульда, затвердівати, цех, крихкий, ливарний цех, обмежувати, вагранка, межа міцності, легована сталь, кокс, сплав, колізія, сірий чавун, дешевий, необхідні форма та розмір, опорні плити, труба, шестерня. Task 4. Translate into Ukrainian the following words and word combinations: ferrous alloys, the quantity of carbon content, a blast furnace, melted and poured into, to cool and solidify, casting, brittle, weak in tension and shear, easily machined, airtight pots, stove parts, water pipes, soft, grade of castings, to be rolled, drawn, forged and welded. Unit 8 NON-FERROUS METALS Task 2. You are going to read about non-ferrous metals. Seven sentences have been removed from the text. Choose from the sentences (A-H) the one which fits each gap (1-7). There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use. There is an example at the beginning (1).
Non-ferrous metals are more expensive than ferrous metals and are used only when some characteristic not possessed by iron or steel is essential or desirable in application. 1) A. The metals most frequently used to make non-ferrous metal castings are copper, tin, zinc, nickel, gold, aluminium and lead. Some of the basic non-ferrous metals and their characteristics are described below. Copper was used in prehistoric times for making weapons and tools and later was alloyed with tin to form bronze, which was the most important metal of the Greeks and Romans. 2) _______. Various grades of copper are used for engineering purposes. The great development of the electric industries has resulted in such extensive uses of the metal that it now ranks next to iron in importance. We know copper to be a reddish-brown tough metal. Among non-ferrous metals copper is the most important. Because of its high electric conductivity about 60 % of all the copper produced is used in electrical work. It has high corrosion-resistant qualities. 3) _______. The copper alloys are more widely employed. The alloying of copper with other elements increases the strength of the metal in some cases and improves the anticorrosive and anti-friction properties in others. Aluminium is the typical metal in the third group in the periodic classification of the elements. 4) _______. It is found in feldspars, micas, kaolin, clay, bauxite, cryolite, alunite, corundum and certain gems. Compounds of aluminium have been known for many years and they were recognised as being derived from a metal that had not been isolated. 5) _______. It is light in weight, has high corrosion-resistant qualities. Scientists suggest aluminium to be used for automobile and airplane parts. It can be used also for making different light-weight objects used in everyday life such as: frames, cooking utensils, chairs. Aluminium has a very low density, 2.7; it is used in construction when a metal is required and weight is important. It is ductile, malleable, and can be rolled. Its tensile strength is low in comparison with that of iron; it cannot be machined and polished readily and does not yield good castings. These defects can be overcome by alloying it with other metals. The metals which alloy freely with aluminium are copper, zinc, and iron. Usually where aluminium alloys are made, aluminium predominates. 6) _______. Zinc is a hard, brittle, bluish-white metal that is employed in the pure form as sheet zinc. Lead is a very heavy bluish-grey metal which is very soft. We know lead to be supported by a core to strengthen it. Lead is used for lining pipes, acid tanks and coating electrical cables. Tin is a silvery, corrosion-resistant metal. We suggest tin to be used as an alloying element. Tin is hardly used in pure form. Nickel is a hard, tough, silvery metal. 7) _______. There are many applications of non-ferrous metals in the unalloyed state, but in most cases, some alloying element is added. Task 3. Find in the text equivalents to the following words and expressions: електро- та термо-провідність, корозійностійкий, олово, свинець, зброя, польовий шпат, слюда, глина, м’який, вага, межа міцності на розтягнення, у порівнянні з золотом, легко сплавляється, дроти, провідник, чиста форма, труби, міцний.
