Please read through the extract and answer the questions below. The evening arrived; the boys took their places. The master, in his cook's uniform, stationed himself at the copper; his pauper assistants ranged themselves behind him; the gruel was served out; and a long grace was said over the short commons. The gruel disappeared; the boys whispered each other, and winked at Oliver; while his next neighbours nudged him: Child as he was, he was desperate with hunger, and reckless with misery. He rose from the 5 table; and advancing to the master, basin and spoon in hand, said: somewhat alarmed at his own temerity: ‘Please, sir, | want some more. The master was a fat, healthy man; but he turned very pale. He gazed in stupified astonishment on the small rebel for some seconds, and then clung for support tothe 10 copper. The assistants were paralysed with wonder; the boys with fear. "What! said the master at length, in a faint voice. ‘Please, sir,’ replied Oliver, 'I want some more.’ The master aimed a blow at Oliver's head with the ladle; pinioned him in his arm; and shrieked aloud for the beadle. 15 The board were sitting in solemn conclave, when Mr. Bumble rushed into the room in great excitement, and addressing the gentleman in the high chair, said, "Mr. Limbkins, | beg your pardon, sir! Oliver Twist has asked for more!’ There was a general start. Horror was depicted on every countenance. 'For MORE! said Mr. Limbkins. ‘Compose yourself, Bumble, and answer me distinctly. Do 20 J understand that he asked for more, after he had eaten the supper allotted by the dietary?" "He did, sir,’ replied Bumble. "That boy will be hung,’ said the gentleman in the white waistcoat. 'I know that boy will be hung.’ Nobody controverted the prophetic gentleman's opinion. An animated discussion took place. Oliver was ordered into instant confinement; and a bill was next morning pasted 25 on the outside of the gate, offering a reward of five pounds to anybody who would take Oliver Twist off the hands of the parish. In other words, five pounds and Oliver Twist were offered to any man or woman who wanted an apprentice to any trade, business, or calling. 1, What is meant by the word ‘temerity’ (line 7)? A.

Climate (56) includes both global warming driven by human- (57) emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. Though there have been previous periods of climatic change, since the mid-20th century humans have had an (58) impact on Earth's climate (59) and caused change on a global scale. The largest driver of warming is the emission of gases that create a greenhouse effect, of which more than 90% are carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane. Fossil fuel burning (coal, oil, and natural gas) for energy (60) is the main source of these emissions, with additional contributions from agriculture, deforestation, and manufacturing. The human cause of (61) change is not disputed by any scientific body of national or international standing. Temperature rise is accelerated or (62) by climate feedbacks, such as loss of sunlight-(63) snow and ice cover, increased water vapour (a greenhouse gas itself), and changes to land and ocean carbon sinks. Temperature rise on land is about twice the global average increase, leading to desert expansion and more common heat waves and (64). Temperature rise is also amplified in the Arctic, where it has contributed to melting permafrost, glacial retreat and sea ice loss. Warmer temperatures are increasing rates of (65), causing more intense storms and weather (66). Impacts on ecosystems include the relocation or extinction of many species as their environment changes, most immediately in coral reefs, mountains, and the Arctic. Climate change (67) people with food insecurity, water scarcity, flooding, infectious diseases, extreme heat, economic losses, and displacement. These impacts have led the World Health Organization to call climate change the greatest threat to global health in the 2ist century.
