E7: 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
Climate change is one of the most intuitive changes in global warming. As a
result of Plarge amount of carbon dioxide emissions, there is a sharp rise in high-
temperituré weather, which has an irreversible impact on our environment and
ecology. Scientists say, “Changing weather patterns linked to rising global
temperatures have resulted in a dearth of wind across northern China, according to several recent studies,
exacerbating a wave of severe pollution that has been blamed for millions of premature deaths”. However,
when I returned home last Christmas, there was no snow on the street, instead, it was a warm winter with
sunshine. The continued of global warming may not only bring about changes in climate. The world may
undergo more unpredictable changes due to global warming in the future
Page 12Global climate change has seriously affected the living environment of animals,
the change of climate, the quality of human life, and the threat to human security.
Global warming has become a very difficult trend to reverse. It and rising
temperatures have caused very serious consequences for human beings, brought great
impact on the Earth's organisms and seriously affected people's lives, but people didn’t
realize the seriousness of the problem. It is urgent to protect the environment and people should take active
measures to deal with it.
Question 1: What could be the best title for the passage?
A. The Protection of Ozone Layer to Earth
C. The History of Ozone Development D. The Destruction if Animals’ Habitat

‘A. exacertating a wave of severe pollution BR iinproviag the quality of aman iife
C. threatening human security D. bringing about serious changes in climate
Question 5: According to recent studies, millions of premature deaths are caused by
A. living environment _B. active measures C. rising temperature _D severe pollution
E8: 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 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 le 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 favourable.
Inits 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.”
