The "greenhouse effect" is the warming that happens when certain gases in Earth's atmosphere
(24) heat. These gases let in light but keep heat from escaping, like the glass walls of a
greenhouse. First, sunlight shines onto the Earth's surface, (25) it is absorbed and then radiates
back into the atmosphere as heat. In the atmosphere, “greenhouse gases trap some of this heat, and the
the rest escapes into space. The more greenhouse gases are in the atmosphere, the more heat gets
trapped.
Scientists have known about the greenhouse effect since 1824, when Joseph Fourier calculated
that the Earth would be much colder if it had no atmosphere. This greenhouse effect is what keeps the
Earth's climate (26) . Without it, the Earth's surface would be an average of about 60
degrees Fahrenheit cooler. Scientists often use the term "climate change" instead of global warming.
This is because as the Earth's average temperature climbs, winds and ocean currents move heat around
the globe in ways that can cool some areas, warm (27) , and change the amount of rain
and snow falling. (28) , the climate changes differently in different areas.

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 .
The increase in urbanization causes different problems. Air and water pollution are amongst
the major issue we have to tackle.
In the first place, cars, factories and burning waste emit dangerous gases that change the air
quality in our cities and pose threats to our health. Dangerous gases such as carbon dioxide and
nitrogen oxides cause respiratory diseases, for instant, bronchitis and asthma. Those are also proved to
have long-term effects on the environment.
Furthermore, with the increased population, it becomes difficult to manage the waste generated
in cities. Most of the waste is discharged or dumped into rivers or onto streets. The waste pollutes
water and makes it unfit for human consumption. Subsequently, it becomes more and more difficult
for city dwellers to get clean water. Some cities in Africa are unable to provide adequate water supply
because most of the water is lost in pipe leakages. In fact, most city dwellers in developing countries
are forced to boil their water or to buy bottled water, which is very expensive.
There are several actions that could be taken to eradicate the problems described above. Firstly,
a simple solution would be joining community efforts to address problems affecting your city. Ask
your parents, friends and relatives to join in as well. These efforts might include clean-up campaigns,
recycling projects and a signature campaign to ask the government to do something about the
situation. A second measure would be encouraging your teacher to talk about these problems and to
discuss how young people can help to solve them. Finally, writing to local organizations working on
these issues for ideas on how you can contribute to solve them.
