Also, "there is conclusive evidence for a worldwide recession of mountain glaciers This is among the clearest and best evidence for a change in energy balance at the Earth's surface since the end of the 19th century." [A.] Sea-level rise must be expressed as a range of values that are under constant reassessment [B.] The 2001 IPCC forecast for global mean sea-level rise this century, given regional variations, is from 0.110.88 m [C.] The median value of 0.48 m is two to four times the rate of previous increase These increases would continue beyond 2100 even if greenhouse gas concentrations are stabilized [D.] The Scripps Institute of Oceanography in La Jolla, California, has kept ocean temperature records since 1916 Significant temperature increases are being recorded to depths of more than 300 m as ocean temperature records are set Even the warming of the ocean itself will contribute about 25% of sealevel rise, simply because of thermal expansion of the water In addition, any change in ocean temperature has a profound effect on weather and, indirectly, on agriculture and soil moisture In fact, the ocean system appears to have delayed some surface global warming during the past century through absorption of excess atmospheric neat A quick survey of world coastlines shows that even a moderate rise could bring changes of unparalleled proportions At stake are the river deltas, lowland coastal farming valleys, and low-lying mainland areas, all contending with high water, high tides, and higher storm surges Particularly tragic social and economic consequences will affect small island states - being able to adjust within their present country boundaries, disruption of biological systems, loss of biodiversity, reduction in water resources, among the impacts There could be both internal and international migration of affected human populations, spread over decades, as people move away from coastal flooding from the sea-level rise There is more new plant life in Antarctica recently because A the mountain glaciers have melted B the land masses have split into islands Page of 11 C the icebergs have broken into smaller pieces D the temperature has risen by a few degrees It may be inferred from this passage that icebergs are formed A by a drop in ocean temperatures B when an ice shelf breaks free C from intensely cold islands D if mountain glaciers melt The word ‘there’ in paragraph refers to A polar ice mass in the last 50 years B the temperature increase C new vegetation growth D in the Antarctic Peninsula The author explains the loss of polar and glacial ice by A stating an educated opinion B referring to data in a study C comparing sea levels worldwide D presenting his research The word ‘conclusive’ in paragraph is closest in meaning to A definite B independent C unique D valuable Why does the author mention the Scripps Institute of Oceanography? A The location near the coast endangers the Scripps facility B Research at Scripps indicates that the ocean is getting warmer C One-quarter of the rising sea levels has been recorded at Scripps D Records at Scripps have been kept for nearly one hundred years Which of the sentences below best expresses the information in the bolded statement in the passage? A Global warming on the surface of the planet may have been retarded during the last hundred years because heat in the atmosphere was absorbed by the oceans B Global warming on the surface of the ocean was greater than it was on the rest of the planet during the past century because of heat in the atmosphere C Too much heat in the atmosphere has caused global warming on the surface of the planet for the past hundred years in spite of the moderation caused by the oceans D There is less heat being absorbed by the oceans now than there was a hundred years ago before the atmosphere began to experience global warming Why will people move away from the coastlines in the future? A It will be too warm for them to live there B The coastlines will have too much vegetation C Flooding will destroy the coastal areas D No agricultural crops will be grown on the coasts Which of the following statements most accurately reflects the author's opinion about rising sea levels? A Sea levels would rise without global warming B Rising sea levels can be reversed C The results of rising sea levels will be serious D Sea levels are rising because of new glaciers 10 Look at the four squares [.] that show where the following sentence could be inserted in the passage During the last century, sea level rose 10-20 cm; a rate 10 times higher than the average rate during the last 3000 years Where could the sentence best be added? A [A.] B [B.] C [C.] D [D.] Your answers 10 Part Read the text and the following tasks (15 points) ‘This Marvellous Invention’ A Of all mankind’s manifold creations, language must take pride of place Other inventions - the wheel, agriculture, sliced bread - may have transformed our material existence, but the advent of language is what made US human Compared to language, all other inventions pale in significance, since everything we have ever achieved depends on language and originates from it Without language, we Page of 11 could never have embarked on our ascent to unparalleled power over all other animals, and even over nature itself B But language is foremost not just because it came first In its own right it is a tool of extraordinary sophistication, yet based on an idea of ingenious simplicity: ‘this marvelous invention of composing out of twenty-five or thirty sounds that infinite variety of expressions which, whilst having in themselves no likeness to what is in our mind, allow us to disclose to others its whole secret, and to make known to those who cannot penetrate it all that we imagine, and all the various stirrings of our soul’ This was how, in 1660, the renowned French grammarians of the Port-Royal abbey near Versailles distilled the essence of language, and no one since has celebrated more eloquently the magnitude of its achievement Even so, there is just one flaw in all these hymns of praise, for the homage to languages unique accomplishment conceals a simple yet critical incongruity Language is mankind’s greatest invention - except, of course, that it was never invented This apparent paradox is at the core of our fascination with language, and it holds many of its secrets C Language often seems so skillfully drafted that one can hardly imagine it as anything other than the perfected handiwork of a master craftsman How else could this instrument make so much out of barely three dozen measly morsels of sound? In themselves, these configurations of mouth p,f,b,v,t,d,k,g,sh,a,e and so on - amount to nothing more than a few haphazard spits and splutters, random noises with no meaning, no ability to express, no power to explain But run them through the cogs and wheels of the language machine, let it arrange them in some very special orders, and there is nothing that these meaningless streams of air cannot do: from sighing the interminable boredom of existence to unravelling the fundamental order of the universe D The most extraordinary thing about language, however, is that one doesn’t have to be a genius to set its wheels in motion The language machine allows just about everybody - from pre-modern foragers in the subtropical savannah, to post-modern philosophers in the suburban sprawl - to tie these meaningless sounds together into an infinite variety of subtle senses, and all apparently without the slightest exertion Yet it is precisely this deceptive ease which makes language a victim of its own success, since in everyday life its triumphs are usually taken for granted The wheels of language run so smoothly that one rarely bothers to stop and think about all the resourcefulness and expertise that must have gone into making it tick Language conceals art E Often, it is only the estrangement of foreign tongues, with their many exotic and outlandish features, that brings home the wonder of languages design One of the showiest stunts that some languages can pull off is an ability to build up words of breath-breaking length, and thus express in one word what English takes a whole sentence to say The Turkish word sehirlilistiremediklerimizdensiniz, to take one example, means nothing less than ‘you are one of those whom we can’t turn into a towndweller’ (In case you were wondering, this monstrosity really is one word, not merely many different words squashed together - most of its components cannot even stand up on their own.) F And if that sounds like some one-off freak, then consider Sumerian, the language spoken on the banks of the Euphrates some 5,000 years ago by the people who invented writing and thus enabled the documentation of history A Sumerian word like munintuma’a (‘when he had made it suitable for her’) might seem rather trim compared to the Turkish colossus above What is so impressive about it, however, is not its lengthiness but rather the reverse - the thrifty compactness of its construction The word is made up of different slots, each corresponding to a particular portion of meaning This sleek design allows single sounds to convey useful information, and in fact even the absence of a sound has been enlisted to express something specific If you were to ask which bit in the Sumerian word corresponds to the pronoun ‘it’ in the English translation ‘when he had made it suitable for her’, then the answer would have to be nothing Mind you, a very particular kind of nothing: the nothing that stands in the empty slot in the middle The technology is so fine-tuned then that even a non-sound, when carefully placed in a particular position, has been invested with a specific function Who could possibly have come up with such a nifty contraption?
