For moderate climate change, the balance can be difficult to assess. But the larger the change in climate, the more negative the 3
  4. consequences will become. Global warming will probably make life harder, not easier, for most people This is mainly because we have already built enormous infrastructure based on the climate we now have. People in some temperate zones may benefit from milder winters, more abundant rainfall, and expanding crop production zones. But people in other areas will suffer from increased heat waves, coastal erosion, rising sea level more erratic rainfall, and droughts. The crops, natural vegetation, and domesticated and wild animals (including seafood) that sustain people in a given area may be unable to adapt to local or regional changes in climate. The ranges of diseases and insect pests that are limited by temperature may expand, if other environmental conditions are also favourable. In its summary report on the impacts of climate change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stated, "Taken as a whole, the range of published evidence indicates that the net damage costs of climate change are likely to be significant and to increase over time.” Question 39. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Environment pollution is real. B. Reasons why low-lying areas are flooded. C. Solutions to global warming. D. Reasons why global warming is a problem. Question 40. In paragraph 2, the word “erratic” is closest in meaning to ___. A. predictable B. unpredictable C. changeable D. unchangeable Question 41. In paragraph 1, the word “this” refers to ___. A. harder life as a result of global warming B. easier life as a result of global warming C. climate change on global scale D. flood in low-lying areas Question 42. According to the passage, all of the following are the results of global warming EXCEPT ___. A. higher temperature B. coastal erosion C. increasing sea level D. stable rainfall Question 43. Which of the following is TRUE as the result of global warming? A. All people suffer from global warming. B. All people benefit from global warming. C. Life is more difficult for the majority of people. D. Life is easier for most people. 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 from 44 to 50 Scientists have identified two ways in which species disappear. The first is through ordinary or “background” extinctions, where species that fail to adapt are slowly replaced by more adaptable life forms. The second is when large numbers of species go to the wall in relatively short periods of biological time. There have been five such extinctions, each provoked by cataclysmic evolutionary events caused by some geological eruption, climate shift, or space junk slamming into the Earth. Scientists now believe that another mass extinction of species is currently under way – and this time human fingerprints are on the trigger. How are we are doing it? Simply by demanding more and more space for ourselves. In our assault on the ecosystems around us we have used a number of tools, from spear and gun to bulldozer and chainsaw. Certain especially rich ecosystems have proved the most vulnerable. In Hawaii more than half of the native birds are now gone – some 50 species. Such carnage has taken place all across the island communities of the Pacific and Indian oceans. While many species were hunted to extinction, others simply succumbed to the ‘introduced predators’ that humans brought with them: the cat, the dog, the pig, and the rat. 4
  5. Today the tempo of extinction is picking up speed. Hunting is no longer the major culprit, although rare birds and animals continue to be butchered for their skin, feathers, tusks, and internal organs, or taken as savage pets. Today the main threat comes from the destruction of the habitat of wild plants, animals, and insects need to survive. The draining and damming of wetland and river courses threatens the aquatic food chain and our own seafood industry. Overfishing and the destruction of fragile coral reefs destroy ocean biodiversity. Deforestation is taking a staggering toll, particularly in the tropics where the most global biodiversity is at risk. The shinking rainforest cover of the Congo and Amazon river basins and such place as Borneo and Madagascar have a wealth of species per hectare existing nowhere else. As those precious hectares are drowned or turned into arid pasture and cropland, such species disappear forever. Question 44. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Human activity and its impact on a mass extinction of species B. The two ways in which species disappear C. The tempo of extinction of species today D. Deforestation as a major cause of mass extinctions of species Question 45. The word assault in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ___ A. development B. attack C. effort D. influence Question 46. The word butchered in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ___ A. raised B. traded C. cooked D. killed Question 47. The word them in paragraph 2 refers to ___ A. species B. oceans C. humans D. predators Question 48. What was the main threat to biodiversity in Hawaii and other islands in the Pacific and Indian oceans until recently? A. tools used by human beings B. human assault on ecosystems C. vulnerable rich ecosystems D. hunters and introduced predators Question 49. All of the following are mentioned as a form of habitat destruction EXCEPT ___ A. destroying coral reefs B. cutting down forests C. damming wetlands and rivers D. hunting rare birds and animals Question 50. It can be inferred from the passage that ___ A. the current mass extinction is different from the other five in that it is caused by humans B. hunting is the major contributing factor that speeds up the extinction of species C. habitat destruction makes a minor contribution to the current mass extinction of species D. it’s impossible for scientists to identify the causes of mass extinctions of species THE END 5
