VII. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
The greenhouse effect is always reported as being a negative consequence of current human lifestyle
practices. However there certainly have been numerous suggestions of positive consequences of the
greenhouse effect.
A slight temperature increase in some of the colder parts of the world may improve conditions for
agriculture and changing rainfall patterns may favor some species over others. However, they do not balance
with overall negative impacts. The social, economic and ecological disorders brought about by such climatic
changes worldwide are projected to greatly outweigh regional benefits.
The impacts of global warming and climate change could become a source of increased tension
between nations and regions. While the developed, industrialized world is responsible for 75% of all CO2
emissions, these impacts will most likely hit hardest upon the poorer, underdeveloped parts of the world. For
example, as sea levels rise countries like Bangladesh will suffer much more from the loss of valuable and
populated lands than European or North American countries, even though they have emitted only a tiny
fraction of the greenhouse gases.
The effect of drowning coastlines could lead to hundreds of millions of climate refugees. Where will
these refugees go? How will they be cared for? Undoubtedly, such a disaster will seriously worsen the already
critical refugee problem in the world. A severe disorder of the world's food supplies through floods, droughts,
crop failures and diseases brought about by climate change would lead to famines, wars and civil disorder in
many countries.
1. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Greenhouse effect brings us more benefits than negative impacts.
B. Greenhouse effect brings us more negative impacts than benefits.
C. Current reports on the greenhouse effect are not accurate.
D. Reports should focus on suggestions of positions consequences of the greenhouse effect.

A. The developed countries B. The developing countries
C. The countries with valuable and populated lands D. European or North American countries
3. Why will there be an increased tension between countries?
A. The developed countries are a source of disasters upon the underdeveloped countries.
B. The developed countries head lots of climate refugees to the underdeveloped countries.
C. The developed countries will suffer more than the underdeveloped countries.
D. The European or North American countries will lose more valuable and populated lands.
4. The word "tiny" in the passage is closest in meaning to ____.
A. large B. small C. much D. considerable

A. coastline disorder B. refugee problem C. famine D. crop failure

V. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course
which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the
total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of
three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or
five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters
each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for
a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done
as a regular practice.
For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is
available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of
work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions
in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective word of maintaining discipline is usually
performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the
rules, for
example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the
operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these
positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.
1. How many classes each week would a student normally attend at least?
A. 36 B. 20 C. 12 D. 15
2. According to paragraph 1, an American student is allowed ____.
A. to live in a different university B. to take a particular course in a different university
C. to live at home and drive to classes D. to get two degrees from two different universities

 A. their academic performance will affect their future careers

C. they have to observe university discipline D. they want to run for positions of authority

A. they hate the constant pressure strain of their study
B. they will then be able to stay longer in the university
C. such positions help them get better jobs D. such positions are usually well paid
