Exercise 1: Choose the best answer A, B, C or D for each question
Warning on Global Warming
Global warming could cause drought and possibly famine in China, the source of much of Hong Kong’s
food, by 2050, a new report predicts. Hong Kong could also be at risk from flooding as sea levels rose. The
report recommends building sea-walls around low-lying areas such as the new port and airport reclamations.
Published by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), the report, which includes work by members of the
Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, uses the most recent projections on climate change to point to a
gloomy outlook for China.
By 2050 about 30 to 40 per cent of the country will experience changes in the type of vegetation it
supports, with tropical and subtropical forest conditions shifting northward and hot desert conditions rising
in the west where currently the desert is temperate. Crop-growing areas will expand but any benefit is
expected to be negated by increased evaporation of moisture, making it too dry to grow crops such as rice.
The growing season also is expected to alter, becoming shorter in southern and central China, the mainland’s
breadbasket. The rapid changes make it unlikely that plants could adapt.
“China will produce smaller crops. In the central and northern areas, and the southern part, there will be
decreased production because of water limitations,” Dr. Rik Leemans, one of the authors of the report, said
during a brief visit to the territory yesterday. Famine could result because of the demands of feeding the
population - particularly if it grows - and the diminished productivity of the land. “It looks very difficult for
the world as a whole,” he said.
Global warming is caused by the burning of large amounts of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, which
release gases that trap heat in the atmosphere. World temperatures already have increased this century by
about 6 degrees Celsius and are projected to rise by between 1.6 degrees and 3.8 degrees by 2100.

 Dr. Leemans said China’s reliance on coal-fired power for its industrial growth did not bode well for the
world climate. “I think the political and economic powers in China are much greater than the environmental
powers, and [greenhouse gas emissions] could accelerate,” Dr. Leemans said, “China is not taking the
problem seriously yet, although it is trying to incorporate this kind of research to see what is going to
happen.”
The climate change report, which will be released tomorrow, focuses on China but Mr David Melville of
WWF-Hong Kong said some of the depressing scenarios could apply to the territory. Food supplies, for
instance, could be affected by lower crop yields. “Maybe we could afford to import food from elsewhere but
you have to keep in mind that the type of changes experienced in southern China will take place elsewhere as
well,” he said. Sea levels could rise as glaciers melted and the higher temperatures expanded the size of the
oceans, threatening much of developed Hong Kong which is built on reclaimed land. Current projections are
that sea levels worldwide will rise by 15 to 90 centimeters by 2100, depending on whether action is taken to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
“Hong Kong has substantial areas built on reclaimed land and sea level rises could impact on that, not only
on Chek Lap Kok but the West Kowloon Reclamation and the Central and Western Reclamation - the whole
lot,” Mr Melville said, adding that seawalls would be needed. Depleted fresh water supplies would be another
problem because increased evaporation would reduce levels. Mr Melville said the general outlook could be
helped if Hong Kong used water less wastefully and encouraged energy efficiency to reduce fuel-burning. He
also called on the West to help China improve its efficiency.

Native North American Hide Painting
The artistic development and diversity of a society are largely determined by the different physical
mediums available to it. Having no technology for the production of paper or canvas, the Native North
Americans turned to the painting of animal hides as a major form of artistic expression. Occasionally this took
the form of painting hides intended to be used exclusively as art, but far more frequently it involved the
decoration of everyday or ceremonial objects made of hide, which were abundant in Native North American
cultures. Shields, tepee coverings, and hide clothing were decorated with hide paintings. Hide painting was a
laborious process. First, the hide had to be cured and treated with a dear preservative coating that would
retain the original color of the hide. Then an outline was scratched in the soft leather. Once the outline was
finished, paints made of minerals and plants were applied to add color.
Native North American hide painting takes on many forms and styles, as might be expected of such a
diverse region. Yet, it is possible to identify three distinct traditions that seem to appear in nearly all tribal
hide paintings. The first is historical or biographical in subject matter and most commonly appears on
ceremonial robes. This form of hide painting seems to have been almost exclusively the province of male
artists. It is highly informational in nature, and the aesthetic qualities of these hide paintings are of secondary
importance. Biographical and historical hide paintings record the fortunes, exploits, and hardships of a tribe
or individual. In this way they are similar to the picture writing of other pre-literate cultures.
Another tradition in hide painting can be termed visionary painting. Visionary hide paintings are mystical
or religious in nature. They either tell of a visionary experience, or are attempts to seek out such a
supernatural connection. Astrological motifs and representations of animistic spirits are common in visionary
hide painting. Shields and tunics are common mediums for visionary painting. This may reflect an attempt to
invoke the aid of supernatural forces for protection and victory in battle. Tepees also often bear visionary art.
This may be seen once again as an attempt to procure supernatural protection for the residents.
The final major tradition in hide painting was primarily produced by women. Highly symbolic and
abstract in nature, their art represents some of the most sophisticated examples of hide painting. Symbolic
hide painting employs the use of geometric shapes to create complex symmetric patterns. Boxes, triangles,
and hourglass shapes all feature prominently in symbolic hide painting. One of the most interesting aspects of
this form of hide painting is its use of negative space. A highly advanced artistic technique, the use of

Page 4 of 13
negative space requires the carefully planned placement of unpainted sections of the hide so that they too
form a design that corresponds to the painted designs.
As with all aspects of Native American life, hide painting was greatly affected by contact with white
settlers who were pushing westward during the 1800s. White settlers brought access to paper, canvas, and
better paints and brushes, all of which were incorporated into Native American art. As they began to adopt
linen clothing, they simply transferred their hide painting onto this new material. In later years, however,
white culture began to influence the conventions of the art itself. White Americans ran an aggressive
campaign to marginalize Native American culture and traditions. Native American children were educated not
in their own communities, but in government run schools with the goal of instilling white values and
sensibilities in them. This white influence inevitably began to be seen in hide painting as these children grew
up to take the artistic mantle from their elders.

Acid Rain
Acid rain is rain that has unusually high levels of acid in it, and is a result of air pollution. When fossil fuels
are burned, they release chemicals containing sulfur and nitrogen into the air. Once in the air, these chemicals
combine with water vapor to form sulfuric and nitric acids, which then return to Earth when it rains. Since it
is the result of burning fossil fuels, acid rain presents the greatest problems in industrial nations that rely
heavily on coal as a source of energy. More advanced nations, such as the United States and many parts of
Western Europe, have developed technology that reduces the amount of sulfur and nitrogen released from
their power plants. They are therefore at least partially able to control their acid rain problems.
Acid rain has the greatest effect on aquatic life. Acid rain increases the acidity of lakes, rivers, and
streams. If the acidity of the water increases too much, it simply kills the fish in the water. But even at lower
levels acid rain has a number of negative effects on fish. Increased levels of acidity can prevent the growth of
the water plants on which smaller fish feed. This interrupts the food chain and can have serious
consequences, since a decrease in the population of small fish will trigger a decrease in the populations of the
larger fish that eat them. Acid rain also allows minerals in the bed of the lake or river to dissolve and enter the
water. Many of these minerals are harmful to fish, not to mention humans who may eat the fish.
On land, acid rain causes damage to trees and other plants. Most leaves have a thin, waxy covering on
them that protects them from insects, infection, and other possible dangers. Acid rain can strip away this
covering, leaving the leaf unprotected. As the leaves of a plant become damaged, this reduces that plant’s
ability to take in energy from the sun. In addition, acid rain causes the roots of plants to grow more slowly,
and this reduces the plant’s ability to take nutrients from the ground. Finally, acid rain can kill the small
germs that live in the soil. These are important to plants because they renew the nutrients in the soil and
keep it productive. Soil in which all of these germs have died will become unsuitable for plants in just a few
years. Therefore, acid rain has a basic effect of starving plants of their essential sources of energy and
nutrition.
Acid rain also has negative effects in city environments. Acid rain, being a corrosive substance, can eat
away at the materials used to construct buildings, bridges, and roads, weakening their structures and
requiring more frequent repairs. More importantly, acid rain can seriously damage historic buildings. Most
modern buildings are built with acid rain in mind. So they are built with materials more resistant to acid rain
or painted with a protective coating. Historic buildings, however, were usually built before such protective
technology was available, and so they are especially vulnerable to acid rain
1. What can be inferred from paragraph 1 about coal?
A. It is the primary source of pollution on Earth,
Page 6 of 13
