________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________ I learn smart world 12 - Exercises atmosphere. These gases trap heat, leading to global warming. As a result, the Earth's average temperature has been rising (2) __________ over the past century. One significant effect of climate change is the increase in global temperatures. Warmer temperatures have led to more extreme weather events, such as heatwaves, floods, and (3) __________. For example, some regions experience unusually high temperatures in summer, while others face heavy rainfall and severe storms. These (4) __________ conditions can damage homes, crops, and infrastructure. Another major impact is the (5) __________ of ice caps and glaciers in the polar regions. As global temperatures rise, ice in the Arctic and Antarctic melts faster, causing sea levels to rise. This poses a serious threat to coastal communities, where millions of people live. Rising sea levels can lead to flooding, forcing people to leave their homes. Climate change is a serious problem that affects everyone. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is essential to slow down its (6) __________ and protect the planet for future generations. Source: United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) 1.

________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________ I learn smart world 12 - Exercises Saving energy in our daily lives is essential for reducing utility bills and protecting the environment. Fortunately, there are several simple ways to make a difference. One effective method is to switch to energy- efficient appliances. Devices with the ENERGY STAR label use less electricity while providing the same level of performance as standard appliances. Another easy step is to be mindful of lighting. By replacing incandescent bulbs with LED lights, you can significantly cut down on energy consumption. Additionally, remember to turn off lights in rooms that are not in use, and consider using natural light during the day whenever possible. Moreover, reducing heating and cooling costs can lead to substantial energy savings. Setting your thermostat a few degrees lower in winter and higher in summer can make a noticeable difference. Using fans instead of air conditioning can also keep your home comfortable while saving energy. Finally, unplugging chargers and electronics when they are not in use can help eliminate "phantom" energy usage. These small changes can add up to significant savings over time. By adopting these habits, individuals can contribute to a more sustainable future. Source: U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) 1. The word “efficient” in paragraph 1 is opposite in meaning to __________.

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 following questions. Eco-Friendly Transportation Options As concerns about climate change and pollution grow, eco-friendly transportation options are becoming increasingly important. These alternatives help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainable living. One of the most popular options is public transportation, such as buses and trains. Public transit systems can carry many passengers at once, significantly diminishing the number of individual vehicles on the road. Biking and walking are also excellent eco-friendly options. They not only reduce carbon footprints but also enhance physical health. Many cities are now investing in bike lanes and pedestrian-friendly areas to encourage these modes of transport. Additionally, car-sharing programs and electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining popularity. Car-sharing allows people to use a vehicle only when needed, which reduces the total number of cars on the road. EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions, making them a cleaner alternative to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. Moreover, some cities are introducing electric scooters and other shared micromobility options, providing even more choices for short-distance travel. By choosing eco-friendly transportation, individuals can contribute to cleaner air, less traffic congestion, and a more sustainable future. Source: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 1.
