Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the
question.
In a world with increasing levels of carbon in the atmosphere, these new findings imply that warmer
weather and longer growing seasons will not allow temperate deciduous trees to take up more carbon
dioxide. The study’s predictive model suggests that by 2100, when tree growing seasons are expected to
be between 22 and 34 days longer, leaves will fall from trees between three and six days earlier than they
do now.
This has significant implications for climate change modelling. If we accept that the amount of
carbon taken up by deciduous trees in temperature countries like the UK will remain the same each year
regardless of the growing season, carbon dioxide levels will rise more quickly than was previously
expected. The only way to change this will be to increase the capacity of trees to absorb carbon.
Plants that aren’t limited by the amount of nitrogen available may be able to grow for longer in the
warming climate. These are the trees which can take nitrogen from the air, such as alder. But these
species will still lose their leaves at roughly the same time as always, thanks to less daylight and colder
temperatures.
But on the upside, with the prospect of some trees losing their leaves earlier and others losing them
at the time they do now, there might be the prospect of prolonged autumnal colours – and more time for
us to kick through the leaves.

A. Autumn and Growing Seasons B. Growing Season in the UK

A. revolution B. responsibility C. relation D. possibility

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the
question.
The concept of Ukraine as a country was born from the state of Kievan Rus, a powerful state that
ruled much of the territory that is modern Ukraine during the 9th to 13th centuries. The Ukrainian
language evolved from the Old East Slavonic language that was spoken during the time of Kievan Rus.
The first documented use of the word Ukraine dates back to 1187, and the Ukrainian people maintained a
strong sense of national identity through centuries of foreign rulership and occupation, during which time
Ukrainian nationalists made several bids for independence - some successful, but all short-lived.
Modern day Ukraine was established in 1991, when the USSR dissolved and Ukraine declared itself
an independent state. It still bears many scars from its time under Soviet rule, when the country endured
two of its biggest tragedies: Holomodor, the great famine of 1932-33, which was brought on by Stalin’s
agricultural policies and saw the death of an estimated three to five million people; and the Chernobyl
Disaster, the explosion of a nuclear power plant in Chernobyl.
Today Ukraine is still struggling to come to terms with a market economy, although consistent
economic growth in the new millennium (after a decade of decline in the 1990s) bodes well. Ukraine’s
future depends greatly on its traditionally close ties with Russia, which it relies on for energy. However,
Russian and Ukrainian relations are not as close as they once were with the Kremlin even shutting off gas
supplies in January of 2006.
Partly because of souring relationships with Moscow, Ukraine has been looking West for trading
partners and influences. It recently won the hosting rights to Euro 2012 Football Championships in a joint
bid with Poland and is hoping to join the EU by 2015.
