Questions 6-10Read the following passage. Answer the questions. Write your answers on the Student Answer Sheet. Catching FogThe Atacama Desert in northern Chile is one of the driest places on Earth. In some areas of the desert, rain never falls. Some of the mountains there are 6,000 m (about 19,700 ft) high – that’s as high as some of the mountains in the Himalayas. There isn’t always snow or ice on these mountains, but people in the Atacama are collecting water. So, how are they doing it?Meet the fog collectors. Fog is a type of cloud. But instead of being high up in the sky, it forms near the ground. Fog collectors use big mesh nets (cloths with holes) to collect water. In the desert, there isn’t any water on the ground, but there’s a lot of water in the air. When the wind blows, the nets collect this water. Then the water runs down into plastic storage tanks.The local people are using this clean water for drinking and agriculture. In one village, farmers are using the water to grow aloe vera. This plant can help with sunburn and stomach ache. Many people want aloe vera. People in the Atacama are growing and selling a lot of it. This helps their economy.For now, collecting fog works well for small communities. Researchers are hoping to improve the system so they can turn more air into water. 6.
