SECTION IV: READING

Part 1. Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question.
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.
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.

Page 3
 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 so-called 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.
61. 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.
62. The word “alarmingly” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to __________.
A. disapprovingly B. worryingly C. surprisingly D. disappointingly
63. 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
64. Greenhouse gases cause the warming up of the Earth because they .
A. are emitted by car engines B. trap heat from the sun
C. do not add to atmosphere pollution D. are unusual gases
65. 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 industrialized countries
C. the most important summit on climate change taking place in Kyoto, Japan
D. widespread concern about climate change
66. It can be inferred from the passage that the countries which are mainly responsible for global warming
are__________.
A. developed countries B. the most industrialized countries
C. countries with the warmest climate D. developing countries
67. The word “There” in paragraph 5 refers to .
A. regular summits on climate change B. the 1997 summit in Kyoto, Japan
C. the world’s industrialized countries D. the most industrialized countries
68.Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
A. The so-called sinks created by forests can absorb greenhouse gases.
B. Politicians are among those who are concerned about climate change.
C. The problem of rapid climate change has been caused mainly by deforestation.
D. Carbon dioxide is one of the gases that may cause the so-called greenhouse effect.
69. The word “drastic” in paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to __________.
A. severe B. hard C. obvious D. widespread
70.What is probably the writer’s attitude toward global warming?
A. Optimistic B. Neutral C. Positive D. Pessimistic
