Cruise Liners Are Contaminating Our Oceans

Cruise Liners Are Contaminating Our Oceans - раздел Иностранные языки, Англійська мова для студентів технічних ВНЗ Luxury Cruise Liners That Carry Millions Of Passengers To Remote Corne...

Luxury cruise liners that carry millions of passengers to remote corners of the globe are polluting the seas and endangering marine life. The new super-liners, which can accommodate up to 4,000 passengers and crew, are pumping thousands of gallons of sewage and oily bilge water into the sea every day with potentially disastrous effects on fragile ecosystems. These cruise holidays are increasingly popular but the ships are like floating cities without any rules on sewage and waste disposal. A study conducted by the American environmental group, which is dedicated solely to the protection of the Earth’s oceans, has revealed that a typical ship’s daily waste will include 37,000 gallons of oily bilge water; 30,000 gallons of sewage; 255,000 gallons of waste water (from showers etc.); and seven tons of rubbish. The number of cruise ships is growing every year – in 2000, 240 liners carried ten million passengers – and they are travelling to ever more exotic locations. As a result, even remote waters in Alaska are now polluted.

Вправа 2. Визначте, чи правильними є висловлювання.

Вправа 7. Вивчіть діалог напам’ять.

Is the Earth Getting Hotter?

A: Do you know anything about the “greenhouse” effect?

B: Certainly, I do. I’ve heard that it will soon begin altering the Earth’s climate.

A: Can you say what exactly the greenhouse effect means?

B: The greenhouse effect is a process by which thermal radiation from a planetary surface is absorbed by atmospheric greenhouse gases, and is re-radiated in all directions. Since part of this re-radiation is back towards the surface, it results in an elevation of the average surface temperature.

A: Oh, I see that it is like glass in a greenhouse. It forms a kind of “thermal blanket” around the planet.

B: Yes, that’s right. The thing is that the greenhouse effect will cause not only hotter summers and milder winters, but it may alter rainfall, affect crop yields and raise sea level.
