Exercise 9. Read
the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
The
costs and benefits of global warming will vary greatly from area to area. For
moderate climate change, the balance can be difficult to assess. But the larger
the change in climate, the more negative the 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 le 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.”

the word “this” refers to ____.
A. harder life as a result of

Exercise 10. Read
the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
The
Amazon rainforest is home to more than a third of all the world's species of
plants, birds and animals. Twenty per cent of all the birds in the world live
in the rainforest. Scientists have discovered thousands of types of plants and animals that can
only be found there. There are thousands - probably millions more that we
haven't discovered yet. There are at least 2.5 million species of insects
there. Imagine what would happen if they all lost their home? It couldn't
happen, could it? Unfortunately, it's happening right now. Yet, the rainforest
is big. But it's getting smaller. The problem is that people are cutting down
the trees, mainly to make room for
cows. These provide meat and make money for their owners. This process of
cutting down trees is called ‘deforestation'.
The
good news is that it is slowing
down. In 2004, for example, more than 27,000 square kilometres were cut down.
That's an area bigger than Wales. In 2006, because of all the campaigns to save
rainforest, it dropped to just over 13,000 square kilometres. The bad news is
that it's not enough. Scientists predict that by 2030, the rainforest will have
become smaller by 40%. It's possible that by the end of the 21st century, the
rainforest will have completely disappeared. With deforestation, thousands of
the animals, birds, fish and plants that live in the Amazon rainforest lose
their home, their natural habitat. Some of them move to other areas, but most
of them die. Many species have already become extinct, and many more will if
deforestation continues. That will change the balance of life in the rainforest
and could cause enormous problems to
the region's ecosystem.
There's
another problem too. Trees and plants are a vital source of oxygen. If we cut
them down, we lose that oxygen. But it's worse than just that. With
deforestation, the trees and plants are burnt. This sends gases into the
Earth's atmosphere, which stops some of the Earth's heat escaping. That then
leads to the temperature here on the ground going up. This increase in the world's
temperature is called 'global warming', and most scientists believe it's a very
serious issue. If they stopped deforestation, it might help prevent global
warming.
124. Which title best
summarises the main idea of the passage?
A.
Chances for owners of cow ranches B. Threats to Amazon rainforest
C.
Global warming effects D. Habitat destruction
125. According to the
passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. A fifth of all the birds in
the world live in the rainforest.
B.
20% of all the animals in the world live in the rainforest.

Nearly two million species of insects are found in the Amazon rainforest.
D.
Nearly half of the world's species of plants grow there.
126. In paragraph 1,
the word "room” is closest in
meaning to ____.
A.
chamber B. flat C. area D. studio
127. In paragraph 2,
the word "it” refers to ____.

room B. process C. rainforest D. deforestation
128. According the
passage, which of the following is TRUE about Amazon rainforest?
A.
It has become smaller by 40%. B. The deforestation is
decreasing.
C.
25% of animal species are extinct now. D. The deforestation is under control.
129. In paragraph 2,
the word “enormous” is closest in
meaning to ____.
A. serious B. important C. common D. insignificant
130. What might help
