correct answer to each of the questions from 39 to 43.
Temperatures in the Middle East have exceeded 50°C this summer. In the United Arab Emirates
(UAE), a heat wave brought the highest temperatures on record for that period of the year.
Meanwhile, rainfall is limited to a few millimeters per year. However, several videos have
appeared on social networks showing downpours in the area. This is why many have suggested that the
United Arab Emirates created artificial rainfall.
Cloud seeding is a weather manipulation practice that has been around for 80 years. It is a form of
geoengineering that is often the subject of controversy because its effectiveness remains questionable.
It is released by substances such as silver iodide in the cloud, which catalyzes the condensation of water
droplets and produces artificial rain.

Silver iodide acts as a "scaffold" to which water molecules can attach until they become so heavy
that they fall to the Earth's surface. In this way, simple clouds could theoretically transform into true
storms, capable of resisting drought.
In the United States, artificial rain generation was also used in the military before it was banned
by the United Nations. However, its effectiveness in conflict has never been proven. Weather
manipulation is used to prevent violent storms from breaking through the clouds. Starting in 1990, the
UAE launched a government-funded research center dedicated to cloud seeding.

A. Rain in the United Arab Emirates B. How Artificial Rain is Generated

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.
In the European Union we are embracing the clean energy transition. An effective way of doing
so is through the development of advanced and competitive green technology - we want Europe to be
the world leader in this field. To work towards this goal we have set ourselves short and mid-term
targets of a 20% share of renewables in our energy system by 2020, and 27% by 2030. Achieving
these targets won't be easy, but we have set up the instruments and tools necessary to facilitate the
shift. We have legislation establishing the overall policy for the promotion of energy from renewable
sources, including specific national targets to facilitate implementation.
Our efforts are bearing fruit: recent data from the European Environment Agency for 2014
demonstrate that, thanks to renewables, fossil fuel use has been reduced by an estimated 114 Mtoe
(megaton oil-equivalent), comparable to the fossil fuel consumption of France. In absolute terms,
Germany, Italy and Spain achieved the largest reduction in domestic fossil fuel use and avoided
greenhouse gases emissions, as a result of national renewable energy deployment since 2005. All in
all, around 380Mt of carbon dioxide emissions have been avoided, which is equivalent to the yearly
emissions of Poland.
These results come together with opportunities for investment and growth. Investments
historically allocated to fossil fuels are gradually shifting towards renewables and other sources of
clean energy. By 2030, according to the International Energy Agency, we expect investment in
renewables to be almost three times the investment in fossil fuel power plants. This is a tremendous
opportunity to position European energy companies at the head of the new global market of low
carbon technologies and one which they are beginning to seize. According to the 2015 State of
Renewable Energies in Europe report, the renewable energy sector generated a turnover of €143.6
billion and over one million jobs in Europe in 2014. Wind energy has been the main driver of growth
and jobs, accounting for 324,000 jobs and a turnover of €48.3 billion in the same year.
Question 44. [NTL] Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. The Fossil Fuel Consumption of France B. The World Leader in Renewable Energy
