Rising sea levels swamp coastal cities Famine in Europe Nuclear wars for water A million species threatened with extinction The end of life on Earth as we know it Sound terrifying, but these aren’t scenes from The Day After Tomorrow They’re from the real world, from real testaments and science-based speculation The movie itself exaggerates the speed with which global warming brings on a new ice age but the paradox that more heat might lead more ice is real If cold water from melting glaciers really does change ocean currents like the Gulf Stream, Manhattan could get colder pretty quickly- though in a decade, not a New York minute, as The Day After Tomorrow would have it But all by itself, heat is already causing problems like drought, crop failures, disease, violent storm- and is threatening much more as the century proceeds The climate crisis is the keystone issue of our time Addressing it means addressing virtually every other significant environmental and energy problem and it must be done soon, because what is newest and most challenging about global warming is that once its effects are clearly apparent, it’s too late to stop them 26 What does the passage mainly discuss?

A Climate change resolutions are deciding factors in our survival B The successful solutions to climate change entail the successful ones to other problems C Climate change and energy are current issues that are of the first and second utmost importance respectively D People should not wait until all the indicators of climate change become visible B WRITTEN QUESTIONS X Give the correct form of the words in capital to complete the sentences 31 causes soil erosion because the roots of trees hold (FORESTATION) soil tightly 32 As a result of the stress and anxiety trigger for students, (STANDARD) test should be tentatively abolished 33 Climate change is a leading cause of _ weather events (CATASTROPHE) such as hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards 34 He didn't get the job although he had all the necessary _ (QUALIFY) 35 The of human behaviors may make the environment (RESPOND) become vulnerable and gradually degradable XI Choose the appropriate words from the box and give the correct form of it if necessary to complete the paragraph combine get pursue experience theoretical practical Vocational training in Germany offers a lot of variety It (36) _ theory and practice right from the start You will receive on-the-job training at a company for several weeks at school where you will learn about the (37) principles that serve as the basis for your work Vocational training may be your ticket to a career on the German labour market Around two thirds of all trainees (38) _a permanent job with their companies after completing vocational training Upon completion of your programme you will be fully (39) in your profession and earn good money You will also benefit from the fact that you already know your company, its operations and your colleagues Students who (40) a vocational training programme receive a monthly salary from the company they work for XII Give the correct forms of the verbs in brackets to complete the following sentences 41 All applicants must (meet) the specific requirements for their program of study 42 Congrats on your (accept) to the university You have made your parents proud 43 School leaver programmes (aim) at year 13 students to help students gain qualifications relevant to their business or industry 44 (Suffer) _ water shortage in the past, we are all very economic on using water Tree Planting Day is very important in our country because the country needs (protect) XIII Rewrite the sentences without changing the meaning as the first one by using the words given in brackets 46 It has been ages since we met one another (HAVEN’T MEET) => _ 47 “When I heard you won a full scholarship to study in the UK, I was very happy Congrats!” said my good friend (WINNING) => _ 48 After I graduate from university, I want to follow my father's footsteps (GRADUATING) => _ 49 Human activities have a fundamental impact on the distances the world's animals need to move to live (FUNDAMENTALLY) => _ 50 You need to correct your information concerning your education background (CORRECTING) => _ THE END ...
