correct word for each of the questions from 3 to 7.
For many years, scientists have been arguing about global warming. While they don't all agree about
what this might mean for Planet Earth, many think it is going on – and that we can do something about it.
We need a few more years to gather facts before anyone can say for sure. But people need to start now to
do things to stop it.
There are many types of gases in our atmosphere. Some of them absorb the heat from the sun and
control our climate. “Greenhouse gases” are those that hold the heat around the planet's surface. When we
increase the level of these gases, we upset the balance. These extra gases trap even more heat.

1
 Some scientists say global warming has already started to change the environment. The Earth's
temperature has risen one degree Fahrenheit this century. Many scientists believe it could rise from two
to eight degrees Fahrenheit in the next hundred years. This would be the fastest rise in 10,000 years.
Sea levels could rise. Ice sheets could melt and add to the water level. Many places near the coast
would be in danger of flooding. If the climate change is too large and too fast, some plants and animals
could really suffer. They could even die out. The weather could become more violent and extreme. In some
places there would be more forest fires. But in other areas there would be more rain and snow, storms and
floods.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct word for each of the questions from 20 to 26.
Stonehenge, one of the oldest mysteries in the world lies in southern England. Even the name is
ancient. The word “henge" comes from Old English used over a thousand years ago. The word meant
"hanging " so Stonehenge means "hanging stones.” However, the hanging stones go back much further than
that
Most recent research has found that Stonehenge was built in three stages and took at least 1,400
years to build. The first stage was started about 5,000 years ago and took 50 years to complete. In this first
construction, the people who built Stonehenge dug a ditch and some holes. Historians believe these holds
held long wooden poles. They don't know if there was a round building there or if the log poles were
connected together more like the stones there today. However, they have found some digging tools made
from animal bones there which has told them how old this stage is.
The second stage lasted for approximately the next 500 years. In this phase, it seems that some new
holes were made and some of the old holes were filled in. One of the most interesting things is that the old
holes were usually filled with burnt materials, often human ashes! These ashes and other building tools
help historians tell the age of the second phase.

4
 The final phase took the longest time; almost 1,000 years. Some of the stones were brought by water,
while others came over land. These stones are terribly large and would be difficult even for modern
machines to move. How did the ancient people manage to move them? No one can say for certain, but it
seems most likely that they were moved through simple machines and willpower.
How the stones got into place is only one of the mysteries surrounding Stonehenge. Who built the
massive monument? Why did they build it? Was it for an ancient religion? Was it a tomb for a great person?
Is it the gateway to another world? No one can answer these questions, but there is one thing people agree
on whenever they see it. Stonehenge is one of the most impressive ancient mysteries anyone has ever seen.
