VII Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.

Global warming and cooling have occurred naturally throughout history But in the last 200 years, humans’ uses of fossil fuels and clear cutting of forests have increased the amount of carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere These gases trap some of the radiation from the sun which then increases the Earth’s temperature Given the current state of environmental pollution caused by human activities, scientists believe the average temperature of the earth may increase 1-2 degrees Celsius which put simply, means some places will get much hotter and some much colder At the same time, this overall warming effect means more frequent and more intense weather systems, especially

in terms of flooding and drought

Viet Nam is one of the most vulnerable environments due to its location on the planet It is already

subject to some of the Earth’s most powerful weather systems and the increased frequency and intensity of storms will affect it often and directly, especially in coastal areas where most people live Various estimates have been made as to the possible impacts The most directly affected sector will

be agriculture, which is very sensitive to flooding and the effects of extreme weather

Viet Nam has the advantage of coming relatively late into the industrialization, urbanization, and modernization process This means it can avoid many of the mistakes made by wealthier industrial countries For example, wireless communication networks can be built from the start rather than installing lines that can easily be destroyed in extreme weather Cities can be designed and located in less vulnerable locations Climate-friendly building codes and standards can be created that are both more efficient and less prone to heat stress, wind damage, and flooding Climate friendly transport systems, especially public transport, can be adopted

36 The causes of global warming come from

A the rise in the radiation from the sun

B human activities that result in pollution

C the difference in temperatures among regions

D the increase in the average temperature of the earth

37 All of the following may result in global warming EXCEPT

A more intense weather system

B humans’ uses of fossil fuels

C clear cutting of forests

D the increasing greenhouse gas emissions

38 Coastal areas in Viet Nam are often and directly affected by

A its vulnerable location on the planet

B subject to the earth’s most powerful weather systems

C storms with increased frequency and power

D the overpopulation in coastal areas

39 In preparing for climate change, Viet Nam should take all of the following measures EXCEPT

A developing wireless communication networks

B setting climate-friendly building codes and standards

C adopting public transport systems

D coming late into the modernization process

40 The word “vulnerable” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to

A too weak to attack B safe from danger

C able to be easily hurt D easy to take away
