Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Every year, the average temperature of the Earth’s surface gets a little bit warmer. This
gradual trend is called global warming. Warmer weather may sound nice, but global warming is
something to be very concerned about.
Scientists are worried that continued warmer temperatures could damage the environment
in many devastating ways. Rising temperatures might cause plants and animals to become extinct.
They could melt enough polar ice to cause the level of the sea to rise. Weather patterns could also
change. There might be more drought or serious storms with flooding. In some areas, human
diseases could spread.
What’s causing global warming? Humans are mostly to blame. Pollution from factories
and cars add toxic gases to air. These gases rise to the Earth’s atmosphere. As the sun’s rays warm
the Earth, the gases work much like the glass in a greenhouse. They help trap the heat in the
atmosphere and make the Earth grow warmer. That is why they are nicknamed “greenhouse gases”.
It is our responsibilities to take care of our planet. Global warming is a serious problem
with serious consequences. If we want future generations to enjoy their time on Earth, we must act
now!

A. understand how serious colder weather is C. care about warmer weather.

Question 37: Which of the following is NOT a possible effect of global warming?
A. weather patterns changing
B. plants and animals becoming extinct
C. human diseases spreading
D. more polar ice
Question 38: In paragraph 3, which of the following is one of the causes of global warming?
A. Exhaust fume from cars C. The sun’s rays
B. Toxic gases and smoke from factories D. Both A and B are correct
Question 39: From the description of greenhouse gases, it can be concluded that a greenhouse is
___________.
A. a colored house B. a type of gas C. the Earth D. a glass building
Question 40: What is the main idea of this passage?
A. The solutions of global warming.
B. The causes and effects of global warming.
C. The different types of global warming.
