Part 2. Questions 66 – 75 (2.0 points - 0.2/ each)
Read the passage below and choose the best
answer to each question
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 alarmignly 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.

66. 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 partly intended.
C. They were wholly the result of human activity.
D. They were fully monitored by humans.
67. The word “alarmingly” in paragraph 2 is closest
in meaning to _________.
A. disapprovingly B. disappointingly C.
surprisingly D. worryingly
68. According to the passage, agriculture could
_________.
 A. make the global warming more serious
B. be indirectly affected by the global
temperature rises
C. give rise to many ecological disasters
D. be directly damaged by the rises in global
temperature
69. Greenhouse gases cause the warming up of the
Earth because they _________.
A. are emitted by car engines B. trap
heat from the sun
C. do not add to atmosphere pollution D. are
unusual gases
70. According to the passage, 1997 witnessed
_________.
A. the largest number of summits on the subject
of climate change
B. the most important summit on climate change
taking place in Kyoto, Japan
 C. the highest attendance by representatives from
180 industrialized countries
D. widespread concern about climate change
71. It can be inferred from the passage that the
countries which are mainly responsible for global
warming are _________.
A. countries with the warmest climate B.
developing countries
C. developed countries D. the
most industrialized countries
72. The word “There” in paragraph 5 refers to
_________.
A. the world’s industrialized countries B. regular
summits on climate change
C. the most industrialized countries D. the
1997 summit in Kyoto, Japan
73. Which of the following is NOT true, according to
the passage?
 A. Carbon dioxide is one of the gases that may
cause the so-called greenhouse effect.
B. The so-called sinks created by forests can
absorb greenhouse gases.
C. The problem of rapid climate change has been
caused mainly by deforestation.
D. Politicians are among those who are concerned
about climate change.

meaning to _________.
A. hard B. severe C. widespread D.
obvious

global warning?
A. Optimistic B. Pessimistic C. Neutral

In a village on the east coast of Scotland, people
