Read the following passage on climate change, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer 
sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 28 to 37. 
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 
alarmingly 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 le...ng 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. 
Question 29: The word “alarmingly” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______. 
A. disapprovingly B. disappointingly C. surprisingly D. worryingly 
Question 30: 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 
Question 31: 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
