warming ocean temperatures are associated with stronger and more frequent storms; additional rainfall, particularly during severe weather events, leads to flooding and other damage; an increase in the incidence and severity of wildfires threatens habitats, homes, and lives; and heat waves contribute to human deaths and other consequences While consensus among nearly all scientists, scientific organizations, and governments is that climate change is happening and is caused by human activity, a small minority of voices questions the validity of such assertions and prefers to cast doubt on the preponderance of evidence Climate change deniers often claim that recent changes attributed to human activity can be seen as part of the natural variations in Earth's climate and temperature, and that it is difficult or impossible to establish a direct Trang 41145/5 - Mã đề: 906 connection between climate change and any single weather event, such as a hurricane While the latter is generally true, decades of data and analysis support the reality of climate change - and the human factor in this process In any case, economists agree that acting to reduce fossil fuel emissions would be far less expensive than dealing with the consequences of not doing so (Source: http://www.takepart.com/flashcards/what-is-climate-change/) Question 26 The phrase "cast doubt on" in paragraph mostly means ………………… A Believe that something is real B Make people feel less sure about something C Have more trust in someone or something D Make something or someone believable Question 27 The word "proliferation" in paragraph can be best replaced by …………………… A variation B decrease C decline D increase Question 28 What does the word "it" in paragraph refers to …………… A Climate change B Temperature C Ice Age D F degree Question 29 It can be inferred from the passage that ………………………………… A There will be no debates on climate change B Reducing fossil fuel emissions is more expensive than dealing with their consequences C The majority of people agree that human activities are responsible for climate change D Rising sea levels leads to the rising of the Earth's temperature Question 30 According to the passage, which of the following sentences is NOT true?
