Trang 19Experts 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 Kyotoin Japanin 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 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
Trang 20so-are often still being regarded as scso-aremongering

A They occurred naturally over a long period of time
B They were partly intended
C They were wholly the result of human activity
D They were fully monitored by humans

to

C surprisingly D worryingly
Question 45: According to the passage, agriculture could
A make the global warming more serious
B be indirectly affected by the global temperature rises
C give rise to many ecological disasters
D be directly damaged by the rises in global temperature
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: According to the passage, 1997 witnessed
A the largest number of summits on the subject of climate change
Trang 21B the most important summit on climate change taking place in Kyoto, Japan
C the highest attendance by representatives from 180 industrialised countries
D widespread concern about climate change
Question 48: It can be inferred from the passage that the countries which are mainly responsible for global warming are
A countries with the warmest climate

C developed countries
D the most industrialized countries

A the world’s industrialized countries
B regular summits on climate change

D the 1997 summit in Kyoto, Japan
Question 50: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
