Read the following passage about The Devastating Effects of Global Warming and mark the letter A, B, C
or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
Global warming refers to the long-term rise in Earth’s average temperature, largely driven by human
activities such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. The accumulation of greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere traps heat, causing the planet to warm at an accelerated rate. This change in climate has
numerous harmful effects on both the environment and human societies.
One of the most significant consequences of global warming is the rising sea levels. As glaciers and
polar ice caps melt, the additional water flows into the oceans, causing sea levels to rise. Coastal cities and
islands are at high risk of flooding, which could displace millions of people. In addition to rising sea levels,
global warming has intensified extreme weather events, such as more powerful hurricanes, prolonged
droughts, and destructive wildfires, all of which result in widespread damage to infrastructure and loss of
life.
Another major impact is the loss of biodiversity. Many plant and animal species are unable to adapt to
the rapidly changing climate, leading to habitat destruction and extinction. Coral reefs, which are vital to
marine ecosystems, are dying due to warmer oceans. This loss threatens food security as many species are
essential to agriculture and fisheries.
While the situation is dire, action can still be taken. Reducing carbon emissions, switching to renewable
energy, and preserving forests are key steps in mitigating global warming. Immediate action is critical to
prevent further damage and ensure a sustainable future for the planet.
Question 23: Which of the following actions is specifically mentioned in the passage as a way to mitigate
global warming?
A. Reducing carbon emissions
B. Promoting space exploration
C. Increasing agricultural production
D. Expanding urban areas

Question 25: The word “prolonged” in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by _________.
A. Shortened B. Extended
C. Frequent D. Severe
Question 26: The word “This” in paragraph 3 refers to _________.
A. The warming of oceans
B. Habitat destruction and extinction
C. The loss of biodiversity
D. The dying of coral reefs
Question 27: Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. Carbon emissions should be increased, renewable energy should be avoided, and forests should be cut
down to address global warming.
B. Decreasing carbon emissions, using renewable energy sources, and protecting forests are essential
actions to reduce global warming.
C. Global warming can be prevented by expanding fossil fuel use, stopping renewable energy projects, and
destroying forests.
D. The key to fighting global warming is to ignore renewable energy, increase deforestation, and continue
burning fossil fuels.

Read the following passage about the How Future Cities Will Address Climate Change and Sustainability
and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following
questions from 31 to 40.
[I]As global urbanization continues, cities are becoming both significant contributors to climate change
and potential leaders in turning the tide on environmental challenges. [II], cities are responsible for a large
portion of global greenhouse gas emissions. However, they also present a golden opportunity to implement
innovative, sustainable solutions[III]. The idea of urban utopias refers to future cities that are designed with
environmental sustainability, energy efficiency, and social inclusion at their core.[IV]
 A key feature of future cities will be the widespread use of renewable energy sources such as solar,
wind, and geothermal power. By shifting away from fossil fuels, cities can significantly reduce their carbon
footprint. Urban transportation will also transform, with electric buses, bicycles, and pedestrian-friendly
infrastructure replacing traditional cars. These changes will reduce air pollution, decrease traffic congestion,
and promote a more active, sustainable lifestyle for residents. Green spaces, such as vertical gardens, rooftop
farms, and urban parks, will be incorporated into city designs to improve air quality, enhance biodiversity,
and provide recreational spaces.
In addition to technological advancements, urban utopias will require a cultural shift towards more
sustainable lifestyles. Citizens will need to adopt eco-friendly habits, such as reducing waste, conserving
water, and using public transportation. Urban farming initiatives and efficient waste management systems
will help reduce the environmental impact of cities by promoting local food production and minimizing
landfill waste.
While the vision of urban utopias may seem distant, many cities are already taking steps to implement
these ideas. Through technological innovation, public policy, and collective action, future cities have the
potential to be at the forefront of the global fight against climate change.
