2 on the mainland for about a decade now. Other regional specialties such as Cheongdo Peaches and Daegu Apples have lost their meaning as the planting boundaries have moved northward over the years. "Due to global warming, the nation is turning into a subtropical location, with average temperatures rising, tropical nights lasting longer, and precipitation patterns shifting. We can find a way to take advantage of the climate change in agriculture and fishery industries, but global warming also brings meteorological disasters and abnormal conditions that lead to all kinds of damage." Over the past century, average yearly temperatures have increased by nearly 2 degrees Celsius, and these higher temperatures have brought about visible effects, with the number of people admitted to hospital with symptoms caused by heatwaves in July doubling over the past 5 years. "I'm sweating the moment I step outside. I didn't have to use AC as often in the past, but now I blast it all day. I'm worried it will get even hotter." "About 20 years ago, I don't recall feeling suffocated by the heat or tropical nights keeping me up." A day with an average temperature of 20 degrees Celsius or higher. That's how some experts define a summer day. About one hundred years ago, here in Seoul, summer lasted for 94 days. But in recent years, the hot season has dragged on for some 130 days. "The longer summers are caused by many factors but they're mostly centered around rising global greenhouse gas emissions. If the gas emissions continue to follow the current trend, it will lead to global carbon dioxide readings doubling by the year 2100. By then, it's expected that Korea will have 40 more days of summer than now." As one of the 200-odd nations that have agreed to the Paris Climate Accord, Korea aims to combat global warming by curbing greenhouse gas emissions by 37 percent by 2030. But that alone won't alleviate extreme weather change. "Carbon dioxide spreads easily, meaning one country's CO2 emissions will affect other nations. So in order to see some results in combating climate change, it would require all nations' participation. Korea is taking an active part, by pursuing its reduction goals but other than appeasement, local adaptation policies for extreme changes should be followed." As the changes we see today are the outcome of decades of global industrialization, for the time being, researchers say Korea can expect even more dire shifts of climate ahead. So while efforts to eliminate the root cause are a must, just as important is securing infrastructure to help cope with the immediate changes that affect the day-to-day lives of residents. Part 2: For questions 6 – 10, listen to a piece of news about rainforests and answer the questions. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS taken from the recording for each answer. (10 p.t) 6. For over the past four decades, what have human beings done to tropical forest land for financial gain?
3 - cleared and repurposed 7. Name TWO ailments that can be treated using rosy periwinkle, a rainforest plant found only in Madagascar. - leukemia, Hodgkin’s Disease 8. Which regional area has witnessed more than three-quarters of the population using herbal medicine in terms of health care? - Africa 9. In addition to severe droughts, what has been the consequence of the increase in carbon dioxide levels and decrease in rainforest acreage? - rising sea levels 10. How are rainforests’ direct influences on the condition of the world’s atmosphere viewed despite their great importance? - regularly understated TRANSCRIPT Since the start of the 20th century, roughly half of the world’s rainforests have been wiped out. And by the end of the 21st century, rainforests may go extinct altogether. You may think it’s just a few plants and animals that’ll suffer, but modern global society relies on rainforests more than you might realize. The loss of this dense biodiversity could lead to sickness, poverty, even war. So, what would a post- rainforest world look like? Well, first it is important to understand why the rainforest is disappearing. Globally, over the last 40 years, an area possibly the size of Europe has been cleared and repurposed for commercial use. In some cases, the land is replanted with trees that produce rubber or palm oil, in other cases it is used as grazing land for cattle, or torn down for urban development. And if nothing is done, we may ultimately see rainforests gone altogether, and along with them, crucial benefits. Without rainforests, some estimate that the basis for up to a quarter of modern medicine would be lost, with thousands of medical compounds derived from plants. For example, the rosy periwinkle, which is naturally endemic only to Madagascar, produces two anti-tumor drugs used to fight leukemia and Hodgkin's Disease. Chemicals synthesized as a result of this plant contribute to an estimated $160 million dollars per year and
