by the World Bank among the countries most 26 by rising waters brought about by higher global temperatures Such a rise of one meter 27 a third of the Mekong Delta underwater and lead to mass internal migration and devastation in a region 28 produces nearly half of Viet Nam's rice The vast, humid expanse of the delta is home to more than 17 million people, who 29 for generations on its thousands of river arteries But rising sea water caused by global warming is now increasing the salt content of the river water and 30 the livelihoods of millions of poor farmers and fishermen Climate change is 31 the rivers of the Mekong Delta salty In Ben Tre, salt water reached as far as 35 miles inland, causing significant 32 to crops and livestock, with rice production particularly affected It is said that there are three grams of salt per litre of fresh water in the rivers now Gradually, more and more people are affected: 33 nearest the sea are the most affected now, but soon the whole province will be

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 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
