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 43 to 50.
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.

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.
Question 43. 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.

Question 44. The word “alarmingly” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
.
A. disapprovingly
B. worryingly
C. surprisingly
D. disappointingly
Question 45. According to the passage, agriculture could
.
A. give rise to many ecological disasters
B. be directly damaged by the rises in global temperature
C. be indirectly affected by the global temperature rises
D. make the global warming more serious
Question 46. 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
Question 47. 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 industrialised countries
D. the most industrialised countries
Question 48. 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.
Question 49. The word “drastic” in paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to .

A. severe
B. hard
C. obvious
D. widespread
Question 50. What is probably the writer’s attitude toward global warming?

There it was agreed that the most industrialized countries would try to reduce the volume

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.
