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 from 39 to 43. 

Can you imagine waking up each day in a house that is gently rocked by the movement of water, having a water park as a garden and getting to work by water taxi? Well, for some people this vision of the future may become a reality. It is a commonly accepted fact that as the Earth’s temperature rises, the ice caps at the North and South Poles will melt, causing the sea level to rise.

So, where does this leave the many countries in the world which have large sections of their populations living in areas which lie at or below sea level? The Netherlands, for example, is one of the most highly populated, low-lying countries in the world and has been battling with the problem of flooding for years. Further rises in the sea level would mean much of the country will disappear under water.

Inventive architects may have come up with a solution to the problem: a floating house actually built on the water. The basic idea is that houses will have a base filled with air and a way of anchoring them to the ground. This will allow the houses to float upwards whenever the sea level rises and sink back down when the sea level drops. So, are floating houses the homes of the future? For some people there may be no alternative; for others it will be through choice. After all, who says you have to live on dry land anyway?

Question 39: Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?

A. Eventually the whole world will be affected by flooding.

B. Countries affected by flooding may sink.

C. Floating houses will be normal in the future.

D. Houses built on the water may be homes of the future for some people.

Question 40: According to the text, in the future the level of the sea will rise because_______.

A. the ice caps will move and push the level up

B. the world will become colder causing more rain

C. the heat will turn ice into water and force the level up

D. many countries are sinking and will force the level up

Question 41: What does the word vision in the first paragraph probably mean?

A. image

B. display

C. glimpse

D. eyesight

Question 42: The word their in the second paragraph refers to_______.

Question 43: Why does the writer choose the Netherlands as an example?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the co answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50. 

Experts in climatology and other scientists are becoming extremely concerned about the changes to our climate which are taking place. Admittedly, climate changes have occurred on our planet before. For example, there have been several ice ages or glacial periods.

These climatic changes, however, were different from the modern ones in that they occurred gradually and, as far as we know, naturally. The changes currently being monitored are said to be the result not of natural causes, but of human activity. Furthermore, the rate of change is becoming alarmingly rapid. The major problem is that the planet appears to be warming up. According to some experts, this warming process, known as global warming, is occurring at a rate unprecedented in the last 10,000 years. The implications for the planet are very serious. Rising global temperatures could give rise to such ecological disasters as extremely high increases in the incidence of flooding and of droughts. These in turn could have a harmful effect on agriculture.

It is thought that this unusual warming of the Earth has been caused by so-called greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, being emitted into the atmosphere by car engines and modern industrial processes, for example. Such gases not only add to the pollution of the atmosphere, but also create a greenhouse effect, by which the heat of the sun is trapped. This leads to the warming up of the planet.

Politicians are also concerned about climate change and there are now regular summits on the subject, attended by representatives from around 180 of the world’s industrialized countries. Of these summits, the most important took place in Kyotoin Japanin 1997. There it was agreed that the most industrialized countries would try to reduce the volume of greenhouse gas emissions and were given targets for this reduction of emissions. It was also suggested that more forests should be planted to create so-called sinks to absorb greenhouse gases. At least part of the problem of rapid climate change has been caused by too drastic deforestation.

Question 44: What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Climate change and human effort to improve it.

B. Deforestation caused by human activities and and its effects.

C. Ecological disasters and their effects worldwide.

D. Rising global temperature and extreme weather patterns.

Question 45: According to the passage, in what way did the climate changes in the ice ages differ from  the modern ones?

A. They were fully monitored by humans.

B. They occurred naturally over a long period of time.

C. They were wholly the result of human activity.

D. They were partly intended.

Question 46: The word This in the third paragraph refers to ________.

A. the greenhouse effect

B. the heat of the sun being trapped

C. the pollution of atmosphere

D. the modern industrial process

Question 47: The word unprecedented in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to______.

A. already witnessed

B. widely considered important

C. never seen before

D. publicly supported

Question 48: The word drastic in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to_______.

A. obvious

B. severe

C. hard

D. widespread

Question 49: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?

A. Politicians are among those who are concerned about climate change.

B. Carbon dioxide is one of the gases that may cause the so-called greenhouse effect.

C. The so-called sinks created by forests can absorb greenhouse gases.

D. The problem of rapid climate change has been caused mainly by deforestation.

Question 50: It is implied in the passage that, agriculture could________.

A. give rise to many ecological disasters

B. make the global warming more serious

C. be indirectly affected by the global temperature rises

D. be directly damaged by the rises in global temperature
