THE TRUTH ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING

1 Our world is getting warmer with each (1) that passes.

2 Scientists measure (2) temperature changes.

3 Some studies show that the Earth’s average temperature has risen by a couple of degrees in the last (3) years.

4 Some people hear news reports about solar flares, which are (4) on the face of the Sun.

5 Scientists have observed that from ( 5 ) , a time when solar activity was low, the Earth was absorbing more energy per square metre then it was reflecting bach into space.

6 It is true that plants “breathe” carbon dioxide in the same way that we “breathe” ( 6 )

7 While some carbon dioxide is natural and good, too much is ( 7 ) poisonous.

8 A study in 2007 noted that Greenland, an island near the Arctic Circle, may (8) .a longer growing season due to global warming At the same time, though, the rest of the planet will suffer from (9 )

9 Climate scientists have successful predicted weather (10) since 1900, including the increase in temperatures.

Most human diets contain between 10 and 15 percent of their total calories as protein The rest of the dietary energy conies from carbohydrates, fats, and in some people, alcohol.The proportion of calories from fats varies from 10 percent in poor communities to 40 percent or more in rich communities.

In addition to providing energy, fats have several other functions in the body The fat-soluble

vitamins, A, D, E, and K, are dissolved in fats, as their name implies Good sources of these vitamins have

high oil or fat content, and the vitamins are stored in the body’s fatty tissues In the diet, fats cause food to

remain longer in the stomach, thus increasing the feeling of fullness for some time after a meal is eaten Fats add variety, taste, and texture to foods, which accounts for the popularity of fried foods Fatty deposits in the body have an insulating and protective value The curves of the human female body are due mostly to strategically located fat deposits.

Whether a certain amount of fat in the diet is essential to human health is not definitely known When

rats are fed a fat-free diet, their growth eventually ceases, their skin becomes inflamed and scaly, and their

reproductive systems are damaged.Two fatty acids,linoleic and arachidonic acids, prevent these

abnormalities and hence are called eseential fatty acids.They also are required by a number of other

animals, but their roles in human beings are debatable Most nutritionists consider linoleic fatty acid an essential nutrient for humans.

TERROR IN THE MOUNTAINS

A What is incredibly beautiful yet absolutely terrifying and deadly at the same time? For anyone above the

snowline in the mountains, there is little doubt about the answer Avalanche - the word strikes fear into the heart of any avid skier or climber For those unfortunate enough to be caught up in one, there is virtually no warning or time to get out of danger and even less chance of being found The ‘destroyer’ of the mountains, avalanches can uproot trees, crush whole buildings, and bury people metres deep under solidified snow Around the world, as more and more people head to the mountains in winter, there are hundreds of avalanche fatalities every year.

B A snow avalanche is a sudden and extremely fast-moving ‘river’ of snow which races down a

mountainside (there can also be avalanches of rocks, boulders, mud, or sand) There are four main kinds Loose snow avalanches, or sluffs, form on very steep slopes These usually have a ‘teardrop’ shape, starting from a point and widening as they collect more snow on the way down Slab avalanches, which are responsible for about 90% of avalanche-related deaths, occur when a stiff layer of snow fractures or breaks off and slides downhill at incredible speed This layer may be hundreds of metres wide and several metres thick As it tends to compact and set like concrete once it stops, it is extremely dangerous for anyone buried

in the flow The third type is an isothermal avalanche, which results from heavy rain leading to the snowpack becoming saturated with water In the fourth type, air mixes in with loose snow as the avalanche slides, creating a powder cloud These powder snow avalanches can be the largest of all, moving at over 300kmh, with 10,000,000 or more tonnes of snow They can flow along a valley floor and even a short distance uphill on the other side.

C Three factors are necessary for an avalanche to form The first relates to the condition of the snowpack

Temperature, humidity, and sudden changes in weather conditions all affect the shape and condition of snow crystals in the snowpack which, in turn, influences the stability of the snowpack In some cases, weather causes an improvement in avalanche conditions For example, low temperature variation in the snowpack and consistent below-freezing temperatures enable the crystals to compress tightly On the other hand, if the snow surface melts and refreezes, this can create an icy or unstable layer.

D The second vital factor is the degree of slope of the mountain If this is below 25 degrees, there is little danger of an avalanche Slopes that are steeper than 60 degrees are also unlikely to set off a major avalanche

as they ‘sluff the snow constantly, in a cascade of loose powdery snow which causes minimal danger or damage This means that slabs of ice or weaknesses in the snowpack have little chance to develop Thus, the danger zone covers the 25- to 60-degree range of slopes, with most avalanches being slab avalanches that begin on slopes of 35 to 45 degrees.

E Finally, there is the movement or event that triggers the avalanche In the case of slab avalanches, this can be a natural trigger, such as a sudden weather change, a falling tree or a collapsing ice or snow overhang However, in most fatal avalanches, it is people who create the trigger by moving through an avalanche-prone area Snowmobiles are especially dangerous On the other hand, contrary to common belief, shouting is not a big enough vibration to set off a landslide.

For questions 1—5, choose the correct heading fo r each paragraph A —E from the list o f headings below (i- viii) There are more headings than paragraphs Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes.
