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 following questions
Trang 4Global 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
33. The causes of global warming come from
A. the increase in the average temperature of the earth
B. the difference in temperatures among regions
C. the rise in the radiation from the sun
D. human activities that result in pollution
34. All of the following may result in global warming EXCEPT _
A. more intense weather systems B. humans' uses of fossil fuels
C. clear cutting of forests D. the increasing greenhouse gas emissions

A. subject to the earth's most powerful weather systems
B. its vulnerable location on the planet
C. the overpopulation in coastal areas
D. storms with increased frequency and power
36. In preparing for climate change, Vietnam should take all of the following measures EXCEPT
A. coming late into the modernization process
B. developing wireless communication networks
C. setting climate - friendly building codes and standards
D. adopting public transport systems
37. The word "vulnerable" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to

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 following questions
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
Trang 18will 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
16. The causes of global warming come from
A. the increase in the average temperature of the earth
