TASK 1. Read the passage.

Circle the best answer A, B, or C to each


of the questions.

Global warming is said to be a culprit of many destructive natural


damages. Many research shows that glaciers in Antarctica and Greenland
are melting quickly, which has a detrimental influence on ocean currents.
Cold lands are habitats of various polar mammals; therefore, ice melting
means that their homeland is shrinking in size, and they will be on the
brink of extinction. Furthermore, scientists point out that the global rising
temperature results in the death of many coral reefs in many regions and
the disappearance of various kinds of fish. It is not to mention the fact that
human life has also been threatened. Most meteorologists and marine
experts agree that the change of average heat worldwide links to the
extensive storms and hurricanes, and other naturally severe disasters
happening around the planet. Recently, a devastating tornado has badly
torn a coastal state in the USA, killing at least 70 people and destroying a
lot of houses and infrastructure. The town mayor said that he had never
seen such a violently tremendous natural phenomenon before. Many
European countries have also witnessed the rage of Mother Nature when
they have been hit by ferocious storms taking months to recover the local
people’s normal life. No one will know exactly the future, but the worst
scenario of the earth can be predictable for sure if humans continue
treating the environment as they are doing. Global warming is an
emergency issue that should be resolved immediately.
