III-READING:
E7: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions
Climate change is one of the most intuitive changes in global warming. As a result of a large
amount of carbon dioxide emissions, there is a sharp rise in high-temperature weather, which has an
irreversible impact on our environment and ecology. Scientists say, “Changing weather patterns linked
to rising global temperatures have resulted in a dearth of wind across northern China, according to
several recent studies, exacerbating a wave of severe pollution that has been blamed for millions of
premature deaths”. However, when I returned home last Christmas, there was no snow on the street,
instead, it was a warm winter with sunshine. The continued of global warming may not only bring about changes in climate. The
world may undergo more unpredictable changes due to global warming in the future.
Global climate change has seriously affected the living environment of animals, the change of climate, the quality of human
life, and the threat to human security. Global warming has become a very difficult trend to reverse. It and rising temperatures have
caused very serious consequences for human beings, brought great impact on the Earth’s organisms and seriously affected people’s
lives, but people didn’t realize the seriousness of the problem. It is urgent to protect the environment and people should take active
measures to deal with it.
Question 1: What could be the best title for the passage?
A. The Protection of Ozone Layer to Earth B. Climate Change and Global Warming
C. The History of Ozone Development D. The Destruction if Animals’ Habitat

A. living environment B. active measures C. rising temperature D. severe pollution
E8: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of
The costs and benefits of global warming will vary greatly from area to area. For moderate climate change, the balance can
be difficult to assess. But the larger the change in climate, the more negative the consequences will become. Global warming will
probably make life harder, not easier, for most people This is mainly because we have already built enormous infrastructure based
on the climate we now have.
People in some temperate zones may benefit from milder winters, more abundant rainfall, and expanding crop production
zones. But people in other areas will suffer from increased heat waves, coastal erosion, rising sea le more erratic rainfall, and
droughts.
The crops, natural vegetation, and domesticated and wild animals (including seafood) that sustain people in a given area
may be unable to adapt to local or regional changes in climate. The ranges of diseases and insect pests that are limited by
temperature may expand, if other environmental conditions are also favourable.
In its summary report on the impacts of climate change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stated, "Taken as
a whole, the range of published evidence indicates that the net damage costs of climate change are likely to be significant and to
increase over time.”

E9: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of
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.
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. 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.
