Read the passage and indicate the correct answers .
Experts in climatology and other scientists are becoming extremely
concerned about the changes to our climate which are taking place.
Admittedly, climate changes have occurred on our planet before. For example,
there have been several ice ages or glacial periods.
These climatic changes, however, were different from the modern ones in
that they occurred gradually and, as far as we know, naturally. The changes
currently being monitored are said to be the result not of natural causes, but of
human activity. Furthermore, the rate of change is becoming alarmingly rapid.
The major problem is that the planet appears to be warming up.
According to some experts, this warming process, known as global warming,
is occurring at a rate unprecedented in the last 10,000 years. The implications
for the planet are very serious. Rising global temperatures could give rise to
such ecological disasters as extremely high increases in the incidence of
flooding and of droughts. These in turn could have a harmful effect on
agriculture.
lOMoARcPSD| 45476132
It is thought that this unusual warming of the Earth has been caused by
so-called greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, being emitted into the
atmosphere by car engines and modern industrial processes, for example. Such
gases not only add to the pollution of the atmosphere, but also create a
greenhouse effect, by which the heat of the sun is trapped. This leads to the
warming up of the planet.
Politicians are also concerned about climate change and there are now
regular summits on the subject, attended by representatives from around 180 of
the world's industrialized countries. Of these summits, the most important took
place in Kyoto in Japan in 1997. There it was agreed that the most
industrialized countries would try to reduce the volume of greenhouse gas
emissions and were given targets for this reduction of emissions.
It was also suggested that more forests should be planted to create
socalled sinks to absorb greenhouse gases. At least part of the problem of rapid
climate change has been caused by too drastic deforestation. Sadly, the targets
are not being met. Even more sadly, global warnings about climate changes are
often still being regarded as scaremongering.
53: According to the passage, in what way did the climate changes in the ice
ages differ from the modern ones?
A. They occurred naturally over a long period of time.
B. They were fully monitored by humans.
C. They were wholly the result of human activity.
D. They were partly intended.
54: The word “alarmingly” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______ A.
disapprovingly B. worryingly C. surprisingly D.
disappointingly
55: According to the passage, agriculture could ______.
A. give rise to many ecological disasters
B. make the global warming more serious
C. be indirectly affected by the global temperature rises
D. be directly damaged by the rises in global temperature
56: Greenhouse gases cause the warming up of the Earth because they ___
A. are emitted by car engines C. do not add to atmosphere pollution
B. trap heat from the sun D. are unusual gases
57: According to the passage, 1997 witnessed ______.
A. the largest number of summits on the subject of climate
change
B. the highest attendance by representatives from 180
industrialised countries
lOMoARcPSD| 45476132
C. the most important summit on climate change taking place in
Kyoto,
Japan
D. widespread concern about climate change
58: It can be inferred from the passage that the countries which are mainly
responsible for global warming are ______.
A. developed countries C. countries with the
warmest climate
B. the most industrialised countries D. developing countries
59: The word “ There ” in paragraph 5 refers to
A. regular summits on climate change C. the world’s industrialised
countries
B. the 1997 summit in Kyoto, Japan D. the most industrialised
countries
60: What is probably the writers attitude toward global warming?
A. Optimistic B. Neutral C. Positive D.
Pessimistic

Read the passage and indicate the correct answers .
Experts in climatology and other scientists are becoming extremely
concerned about the changes to our climate which are taking place.
Admittedly, climate changes have occurred on our planet before. For example,
there have been several ice ages or glacial periods.
These climatic changes, however, were different from the modern ones in
that they occurred gradually and, as far as we know, naturally. The changes
currently being monitored are said to be the result not of natural causes, but of
human activity. Furthermore, the rate of change is becoming alarmingly rapid.
The major problem is that the planet appears to be warming up.
According to some experts, this warming process, known as global warming,
is occurring at a rate unprecedented in the last 10,000 years. The implications
for the planet are very serious. Rising global temperatures could give rise to
such ecological disasters as extremely high increases in the incidence of
flooding and of droughts. These in turn could have a harmful effect on agriculture. lOMoAR cPSD| 45476132
It is thought that this unusual warming of the Earth has been caused by
so-called greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, being emitted into the
atmosphere by car engines and modern industrial processes, for example. Such
gases not only add to the pollution of the atmosphere, but also create a
greenhouse effect, by which the heat of the sun is trapped. This leads to the warming up of the planet.
Politicians are also concerned about climate change and there are now
regular summits on the subject, attended by representatives from around 180 of
the world's industrialized countries. Of these summits, the most important took
place in Kyoto in Japan in 1997. There it was agreed that the most
industrialized countries would try to reduce the volume of greenhouse gas
emissions and were given targets for this reduction of emissions.
It was also suggested that more forests should be planted to create
socalled sinks to absorb greenhouse gases. At least part of the problem of rapid
climate change has been caused by too drastic deforestation. Sadly, the targets
are not being met. Even more sadly, global warnings about climate changes are
often still being regarded as scaremongering.
53: According to the passage, in what way did the climate changes in the ice
ages differ from the modern ones?
A. They occurred naturally over a long period of time.
B. They were fully monitored by humans.
C. They were wholly the result of human activity. D. They were partly intended.

A. give rise to many ecological disasters
B. make the global warming more serious
C. be indirectly affected by the global temperature rises
D. be directly damaged by the rises in global temperature
56: Greenhouse gases cause the warming up of the Earth because they ___
A. are emitted by car engines C. do not add to atmosphere pollution
B. trap heat from the sun D. are unusual gases
57: According to the passage, 1997 witnessed ______.
A. the largest number of summits on the subject of climate change
B. the highest attendance by representatives from 180 industrialised countries lOMoAR cPSD| 45476132
C. the most important summit on climate change taking place in Kyoto, Japan
D. widespread concern about climate change
58: It can be inferred from the passage that the countries which are mainly
responsible for global warming are ______. A. developed countries C. countries with the warmest climate
