In 1994, the UN decided to bring together world leaders for an annual event, known as COP or ‘Conference of Parties’, to discuss climate change. This year’s conference will review what has been achieved and discuss the key goals. The first goal is to limit the global temperature rise to 1.5°C. This will require reducing global CO2 emissions by 50 per cent by 2030, and by 2050 achieving a balance between the greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere and those removed from it.
4 The second goal is to reduce the use of coal, which is the dirtiest fuel and biggest source of planet warming CO2 emissions. Countries will have to stop building new coal plants and switch to clean sources of energy. The third goal is to end deforestation. Forests remove CO2 from the atmosphere and slow global warming. But when they are cut down or burnt, they release the carbon stored in the trees into the atmosphere as CO2. Stopping deforestation is , therefore, an effective solution to climate change. The last key goal is to reduce methane emissions. Methane is a greenhouse gas that is more powerful than CO2 at warming the earth. It is responsible for nearly one-third of current warming from human activities. Methane comes from farming activities and landfill waste. The production and use of coal, oil, and natural gas also release methane. This conference is very important because this is the best last chance we have to slow global warming. World leaders, climate experts, organisations, and national representatives will carefully discuss these goals and agree on how to make global progress on climate change. (Adapted from English 11 global success) Question 39. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage? A. Main goals of this year's COP B. Conference of Parties C. History of COPS D. Main causes of global warming Question 40. The word "it" in paragraph 2 refers to_______. A. the global temperature B. the first goal C. the greenhouse D. the atmosphere Question 41. The word "plants" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______. A. trees B. factories C. vegetables D. resources Question 42. Why is reducing methane emissions a key goal? A. Because it is produced through human activities. B. Because it is responsible for a large part of the CO2 emissions. C. Because its emissions result from farming activities and landfill waste. D. Because methane's warming power is stronger than that of CO2. Question 43. Which of the following is NOT a COP'S key goal? A. Replace coal with cleaner sources of energy. B. Stop cutting down forests. C. Reduce methane emissions. D. End the global temperature rise to 1.5°C 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. Potash (the old name for potassium carbonate) is one of the two alkalis (the other being soda, sodium carbonate) that were used from remote antiquity in the making of glass, and from the early Middle Ages in the making of soap: the former being the product of heating a mixture of alkali and sand, the latter a product of alkali and vegetable oil. Their importance in the communities of colonial North America need hardly be stressed. Potash and soda are not interchangeable for all purposes, but for glass-or soap- making either would do. Soda was obtained largely from the ashes of certain Mediterranean Sea plants, potash from those of inland vegetation. Hence potash was more familiar to the early European settlers of the North American continent. The settlement at Jamestown in Virginia was in many ways a microcosm of the economy of colonial North America, and potash was one of its first concerns. It was required for the glassworks, the first factory in the British colonies, and was produced in sufficient quantity to permit the inclusion of potash in the first cargo shipped out of Jamestown. The second ship to arrive in the settlement from England included among its passengers experts in potash making. The method of making potash was simple enough. Logs was piled up and burned in the open, and the ashes collected. The ashes were placed in a barrel with holes in the bottom, and water was poured over them. The solution draining from the barrel was boiled down in iron kettles. The resulting mass was further heated to fuse the mass into what was called potash.
