54 Experts in climatology and other scientists are becoming extremely concerned about the changes to our climate which are taking place Admittedly, climate changes have occurred on our planet before For example, there have been several ice ages or glacial periods These climatic changes, however, were different from the modern ones in that they occurred gradually and, as far as we know, naturally The changes currently being monitored are said to be the result not of natural causes, but of human activity Furthermore, the rate of change is becoming alarmingly rapid The major problem is that the planet appears to be warming up According to some experts, this warming process, known as global warming, is occurring at a rate unprecedented in the last 10,000 years The implications for the planet are very serious Rising global temperatures could give rise to such ecological disasters as extremely high increases in the incidence of flooding and of droughts.These in turn could have a harmful effect on agriculture It is thought that this unusual warming of the Earth has been caused by so-called greenhouse gases,such as carbon dioxide, being emitted into the atmosphere by car engines and modern industrial processes, for example Such gases not only add to the pollution of the atmosphere, but also create agreenhouse effect, by which the heat of the sun is trapped This leads to the warming up of the planet Politicians are also concerned about climate change and there are now regular summits on thesubject, attended by representatives from around 180 of the world's industrialized countries Of thesesummits, the most important took place in Kyoto in Japan in 1997 There it was agreed that the mostindustrialized countries would try to reduce the volume of greenhouse gas emissions and were given targets for this reduction of emissions It was also suggested that more forests should be planted to create so-called sinks to absorb greenhouse gases At least part of the problem of rapid climate change has been caused by too drastic deforestation Sadly, the targets are not being met Even more sadly, global warnings about climate changes are often still being regarded as scaremongering (From Read and Understand by Betty Kirkpatrick & Rebecca Mok - Learners Publishing Pte Ltd 2005) Question 45 According to the passage, in what way did the climate changes in the ice ages differ from the modern ones? A They occurred naturally over a long period of time B They were fully monitored by humans C They were wholly the result of human activity D They were partly intended Question 46 The word “alarmingly” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A disapprovingly B worryingly C surprisingly D disappointingly Question 47 According to the passage, agriculture could A give rise to many ecological disasters B make the global warming more serious C be indirectly affected by the global temperature rises D be directly damaged by the rises in global temperature Question 48 Greenhouse gases cause the warming up of the Earth because they A are emitted by car engines B.trap heat from the sun C are unusual gases D.do not add to atmosphere pollution Question 49 According to the passage, 1997 witnessed A.the largest number of summits on the subject of climate change B the highest attendance by representatives from 180 industrialised countries C the most important summit on climate change taking place in Kyoto, Japan D widespread concern about climate change Question 50 It can be inferred from the passage that the countries which are mainly responsible for global warming are A developed countries B countries with the warmest climate C the most industrialised countries D developing countries Question 51 The word “There” in paragraph refers to A regular summits on climate change B the world’s industrialised countries C the 1997 summit in Kyoto, Japan D.the most industrialised countries Question 52 Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?

Most people believe that women talk more However, linguist Deborah Tannen, who has studied the communication style of men and women, says that this is a stereotype According to Tannen, women are more verbal - talk more - in private situations, where they use conversation as the “glue” to hold relationships together But, she says, men talk more in public situations, where they use conversation to exchange information and gain status Tannen points out that we can see these differences even in children Little girls often play with one “best friend”, their play includes a lot of conversation Little boys often play games in groups; their play usually involves more doing than talking In school, girls are often better at verbal skills, boys are often better at mathematics A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference Researchers studied conversation between children age 3-6 and their parents They found evidence that parents talk very differently to their son than they to their daughters The startling conclusion was that parents use more language with their girls Specifically, when parents talk with their daughters, they use more descriptive language and more details There is also far more talk about emotions, especially sadness, with daughters than with sons Question 35 Which sentence best expresses the main idea of the first paragraph?
