Global warming, a phenomenon of climate change, has been a topic of major concern in recent decades. It refers to the (21)______ increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities, primarily the burning of fossil fuels which releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The impact of global warming is far-reaching, affecting not just the climate but also the natural ecosystem.Scientists have observed significant changes in weather patterns as a result of this warming. Ice caps are melting, sea levels are rising, and weather events are becoming more (22)______ and unpredictable. These changes have profound implications for both the environment and human societies across the globe. Efforts to mitigate global warming include international agreements such as the Paris Agreement, where countries pledge to reduce their carbon emissions. However, (23)______ these efforts, global warming
continues to be a pressing issue. This is partly because major polluters find it challenging to transition away from fossil fuels. Education and awareness about the (24)______ of global warming are crucial in mobilizing collective action. Individuals, communities, and governments must work together to adopt sustainable practices and technologies. Despite the challenges, there is hope that with concerted efforts and technological advancements, the (25)______ of global warming can be mitigated, securing a healthier planet for future generations. https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/features/GlobalWarming Question 21: A. gradual B. sudden C. insignificant D. temporary Question 22: A. extreme B. mild C. constant D. beneficial Question 23: A. despite B. because of C. in addition to D. excluding Question 24: A. causes B. myths C. solutions D. consequences Question 25: A. benefits B. threats C. origins D. myths 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. Global warming remains a pressing issue in the 21st century. It is characterized by a steady increase in Earth's average temperature, mainly due to the emission of greenhouse gases from human activities. This phenomenon significantly differs from the natural temperature variations seen throughout Earth's history, such as those during the Holocene epoch. The most common greenhouse gases contributing to global warming include carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. These gases are primarily released through the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and various industrial processes. They trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to a phenomenon known as the "greenhouse effect." The consequences of global warming are diverse and far-reaching. One of the most notable effects is the increase in frequency and severity of extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, droughts, and wildfires. Additionally, rising temperatures are causing the polar ice caps to melt, leading to rising sea levels and the loss of habitats for many species. Efforts to combat global warming are varied but have met with mixed success. International treaties like the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but achieving these goals is challenging. The shift to renewable energy sources is seen as a key strategy in mitigating global warming, but the pace of this transition is a subject of global debate. The urgency to address global warming is clear, as its impacts are not just environmental but also socio- economic. The need for immediate and effective action is paramount to ensure a sustainable future for the planet. https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2018/03/ar4-wg1-chapter1 Question 26: What is the primary concern addressed in the passage? A. The history of Earth's climate. B. The impact of human activities on global warming. C. The effectiveness of international treaties. D. The transition to renewable energy sources. Question 27: According to the passage, how does current global warming differ from past climate variations?
A. It is less severe than past variations. B. It is primarily caused by natural factors. C. It is occurring at a much faster rate. D. It has no significant impact on weather patterns.
