(4)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 a greenhouse 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 the subject, attended by representatives from around 180 of the world's industrialized countries Of these summits, the most important took place in Kyoto in Japan in 1997 There it was agreed that the most industrialized 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
Question 43 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 44 The word “ alarmingl y ” in paragraph is closest in meaning to
A disapprovingly B worryingly C surprisingly D disappointingly Question 45 According to the passage, agriculture could
A give rise to many ecological disasters
B be directly damaged by the rises in global temperature C be indirectly affected by the global temperature rises D make the global warming more serious
Question 46 Greenhouse gases cause the warming up of the Earth because they A are emitted by car engines B trap heat from the sun
C not add to atmosphere pollution D are unusual gases Question 47 The word “There” in paragraph refers to
A regular summits on climate change B the 1997 summit in Kyoto, Japan C the world’s industrialised countries D the most industrialised countries Question 48 Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
A The so-called sinks created by forests can absorb greenhouse gases. B Politicians are among those who are concerned about climate change.
C The problem of rapid climate change has been caused mainly by deforestation. D Carbon dioxide is one of the gases that may cause the so-called greenhouse effect. Question 49 The word “drasti c ” in paragraph is closest in meaning to
A severe B hard C obvious D widespread
Question 50 What is probably the writer’s attitude toward global warming?
A Optimistic B Neutral C Positive D Pessimistic
