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 28 to 31.
Climate change has affected wild animals and plants all over the world, but some species are more
endangered than others. Polar animals, whose icy habitat is melting in the warmer temperatures, are
particularly at risk. In fact, studies show that the Arctic sea Ice is melting faster than ever Polar bears and
seals need sea ice as places to raise their young, feed, or rest.
Rising sea levels threaten the habitats of sea turtles, which depend on beaches to lay their eggs.
Many people may not know that the temperature of nests determines whether the eggs are male or female.
Unfortunately, rising temperatures mean that most turtles will be born females, and this may lead to
population decline.
Climate change does not only have an impact on wildlife, it's affecting us, too, Farmers, especially
in developing countries, are the most affected. They are dealing with higher temperatures, heavier rainfall,
floods, and droughts, Environmental conditions can also affect plant growth and crop quality. For
example, in Kenya, because of climate change, rainfall is becoming heavier and less predictable.
Droughts are often followed by large amounts of rain, which makes growing tea, Kenya's most important
crop, very difficult.
