Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
The costs and benefits of global warming will vary greatly from area to area. For moderate climate
change, the balance can be difficult to assess. But the larger the change in climate, the more negative the
consequences will become. Global warming will probably make life harder, not easier, for most people.
This is mainly because we have already built enormous infrastructure based on the climate we now have.
People in some temperate zones may benefit from milder winters, more abundant rainfall, and expanding
crop production zones. But people in other areas will suffer from increased heat waves, Coastal erosion,
rising sea level, more erratic rainfall, and droughts.
The crops, natural vegetation, and domesticated and wild animals (including seafood) that sustain people
in a given area may be unable to adapt to local or regional changes in climate. The ranges of diseases and
insect pests that are limited by temperature may expand, if other environmental conditions are also
favorable.
In its summary report on the impacts of climate change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
stated, ‘Taken as a whole, the range of published evidence indicates that the net damage costs of climate
change are likely to be significant and to increase over time.”

 The greenhouse effect is always reported as being a negative consequence of current human
lifestyle practices. However there certainly have been numerous suggestions of positive consequences of
the greenhouse effect.
A slight temperature increase in some of the colder parts of the world may improve conditions for
agriculture and changing rainfall patterns may favor some species over others. However, they do not
balance with overall negative impacts. The social, economic and ecological disorders brought about by
such climatic changes worldwide are projected to greatly outweigh regional benefits.
The impacts of global warming and climate change could become a source of increased tension
between nations and regions. While the developed, industrialized world is responsible for 75% of all CO2
emissions, these impacts will most likely hit hardest upon the poorer, underdeveloped parts of the world.
For example, as sea levels rise countries like Bangladesh will suffer much more from the loss of valuable
and populated lands than European or North American countries, even though they have emitted only a
tiny fraction of the greenhouse gases.
The effect of drowning coastlines could lead to hundreds of millions of climate refugees. Where
will these refugees go? How will they be cared for? Undoubtedly, such a disaster will seriously worsen
the already critical refugee problem in the world. A severe disorder of the world's food supplies through
floods, droughts, crop failures and diseases brought about by climate change would lead to famines, wars
and civil disorder in many countries.
1. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Greenhouse effect brings us more benefits than negative impacts.
B. Greenhouse effect brings us more negative impacts than benefits.
C. Current reports on the greenhouse effect are not accurate.

A. The developed countries
B. The developing countries
C. The countries with valuable and populated lands
D. European or North American countries
3. Why will there be an increased tension between countries?
A. The developed countries are a source of disasters upon the underdeveloped countries.
B. The developed countries head lots of climate refugees to the underdeveloped countries.
C. The developed countries will suffer more than the underdeveloped countries.
D. The European or North American countries will lose more valuable and populated lands.
