Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
Every year, the average temperature of the Earth’s surface gets a little bit warmer. This gradual trend
is called global warming. Warmer weather may sound nice, but global warming is something to be very
concerned about.
Scientists are worried that continued warmer temperatures could damage the environment in many
devastating ways. Rising temperatures might cause plants and animals to become extinct. They could
melt enough polar ice to cause the levels of the sea to rise. Weather patterns could also change. There
might be more droughts or serious storms with flooding. In some areas, human diseases could spread.
What is causing global warming? Humans are mostly to blame. Pollution from factories and cars
adds toxic gases to the air. These gases rise to the Earth’s atmosphere. As the sun’s rays warm the Earth,
the gases work much like the glass in a greenhouse. They help trap the heat in the atmosphere and make
the Earth grow warmer. That is why they are nicknamed “greenhouse gases.”
It is our responsibility to take care of our planet. Global warming is a serious problem with serious
consequences. If we want future generations to enjoy their time on Earth, we must act now!

A. a glass structure B. the Earth C. a coloured home D. a type of gas

A. the causes and effects of global warming B. the reasons why global warming is not a serious
problem
C. the solutions to global warming D. the different types of global warming

A. there are many factors that cause global warming
B. humans have not been blamed for global warming

Living in the country is something that people from the city often dream about. However, it has both
advantages and disadvantages.
There are certainly many advantages of living in the country. First, you can enjoy peace and
quietness. Moreover, people tend to be friendlier. A further advantage is that there is less traffic, so it is
safer for young children.
However, there are certain disadvantages or drawbacks to life outside the city. First, because there
are fewer people, you are unlikely to have new friends. In addition, entertainment is difficult to find,
particularly in the evening. Furthermore, the fact that there are fewer shops and services so it is quite
hard to find jobs. As a result, you may have to travel a long way to work, which can be extremely
expensive.
In conclusion, it can be seen that the country is more suitable for some people than others. On the
whole, it is often the best place for those who are retired or who have young children. In contrast, young
or single people who have a career are better provided for in the city.

ALASKA
Alaska is perhaps the most amazing state in the USA. It has coastlines facing both the Arctic Ocean
and the Pacific Ocean. This state has an incredible three million lakes. That’s four lakes per person living
there.
Many cities in Alaska cannot be reached by road, sea, or river. The only way to get in and out is by
air, on foot, or by dogsled. That’s why Alaska has the busiest sea airport in the world, Lake Hood
Seaplane Base. Nearly two hundred floatplanes take off and land on the water of this airport every day.
It’s really a fun scene to watch.
Alaska is called the Land of the Midnight Sun because in summer, the sun does not set for nearly
three months. But in winter the sun stays almost unseen.
All Alaskans take special pride in their beautiful and unique state.

Mercury is the smallest member of the sun’s family. It is only 3100 miles across. It is also the
Sun’s swiftest planet. Its yearly journey round the Sun is only 85 days. Mercury always keeps one side
towards the sun. On this side it is always day, on the other side always night. We only see the lighted
side. Mercury appears to us like a yellowish orange star. The nearest planet to the Sun, it is always
seen near the sun, either just before sunrise or soon after sunset. People sometimes call mercury the
morning star or evening star.
Mercury is half the size of the Earth. Because it is much lighter, it has much less gravity. If you
can visit Mercury in a spaceship, you will find it a strange world. Its low gravity makes you feel very
light. If your weight on Earth is 100 pounds, your weight on Mercury is only 27 pounds. Looking at
the Sun from Mercury, you can see that it’s much more brilliant than it is seen from the Earth. And the
yellow centre of the Sun appears three times bigger from Mercury. On its lighted side, Mercury’s
temperature is about 300 degrees centigrade. But the dark side is extremely cold, 150 degrees below
zero, so mercury is probably the coldest as well as the hottest of the planets.
