IV, Read the following passage and answer the questions from 1 to 8 (2pts)
Hot Days, Hot Nights
1. Paragraph A
Here is what global warming could do in a few years: in Dallas, a doubled level of carbon
dioxide would increase the number of days a year with temperatures above 100 degrees
from nineteen to seventy-eight. On sixty-eight days, as opposed to the current four, the
temperature wouldn’t fall below 80 degrees at night. One hundred and sixty-two days a
year, the temperature would top 90 degrees.
2. Paragraph B
Although most scientists agree that increasing levels of carbon dioxide and other
greenhouse gases will inevitably lead to global warming, no one is certain how fast and
how much temperatures will rise and what the effects will be in any geographical areas.
This gives policymakers an excuse for delaying action. Some experts predict that within
two centuries glaciers in the North and South Poles will melt, ocean levels will rise, and
much of what is now the coast of the United States will be under water. They also predict
great droughts and hurricanes, as a result of climate changes.
3. Paragraph C
Other scientists think the changes will be much more gradual, even beneficial. After all,
Canada would not complain if the productive corn-growing lands — now located in the
U.S. Midwest - were shifted north across the border.
4. Paragraph D
While many nations could end up with milder climates, the change — perhaps 100 times
faster than at any time in human history - could be so drastic that many of the benefits
would be lost. There could be crowds of environmental refugees, as well, making the
tragedy of the Dust Bowl era seem mild in comparison.
5. Paragraph E
What can we do? Humanity’s contribution to the greenhouse effect comes from so many
basic activities that we can’t hope to eliminate it completely. Some steps have already
been taken. Since the 1970s, the use of CFCs as aerosol-can propellants has been banned
in the United States.
6. Paragraph F
Another strategy is to burn as much methane as possible. This adds CO2 to the air, but
since methane traps twenty times as much heat as CO2 the net result is worthwhile. The
gas in many garbage landfills is already being used in a number of places around the
United States. It is being used to heat thousands of homes.
For questions 1-6, choose the most suitable heading for each paragraph A-F from the
list of headings below. Write the appropriate numbers (I-VIII). Please note that there
are more headings than you can use.
I. Possible problems due to global warming
II. Warmer summer in Dallas
III. Help from methane
IV. One important step
V. Disagreement about temperatures
VI. Warmer and warmer in some places
VII. But possible benefits too
VIII. Problems bigger than benefits
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
For questions 7-8, Read the passage again and write:
YES: if the statement agrees with the writer;
NO : if the statement does not agree with the writer;
NOT GIVEN: if there is no information about this in the passage.
