answer to each of the questions from 4 to 11.<br />
Experts in climatology and other scientists are becoming extremely concerned about the changes to<br />
our climate which are taking place. Admittedly, climate changes have occurred on our planet before. For<br />
example, there have been several ice ages or glacial periods. These climatic changes, however, were<br />
different from the modern ones in that they occurred gradually and, as far as we know, naturally. The<br />
changes currently being monitored are said to be the result not of natural causes, but of human activity.<br />
Furthermore, the rate of change is becoming alarmingly rapid.<br />
The major problem is that the planet appears to be warming up. According to some experts, this<br />
warming process, known as global warming, is occurring at a rate unprecedented in the last 10,000 years.<br />
The implications for the planet are very serious. Rising global temperatures could give rise to such<br />
ecological disasters as extremely high increases in the incidence of flooding and of droughts. These in<br />
turn could have a harmful effect on agriculture.<br />
It is thought that this unusual warming of the Earth has been caused by so-called greenhouse<br />
gases, such as carbon dioxide, being emitted into the atmosphere by car engines and modern industrial<br />
processes, for example. Such gases not only add to the pollution of the atmosphere, but also create a<br />
greenhouse effect, by which the heat of the sun is trapped. This leads to the warming up of the planet.<br />
Politicians are also concerned about climate change and there are now regular summits on the<br />
subject, attended by representatives from around 180 of the world’s industrialized countries. Of these<br />
summits, the most important took place in Kyotoin Japanin 1997. There it was agreed that the most<br />
industrialized countries would try to reduce the volume of greenhouse gas emissions and were given<br />
targets for this reduction of emissions.<br />
It was also suggested that more forests should be planted to create so-called sinks to absorb<br />
greenhouse gases. At least part of the problem of rapid climate change has been caused by too drastic<br />
deforestation. Sadly, the targets are not being met. Even more sadly, global warnings about climate<br />
changes are often still being regarded as scaremongering.<br />
Câu 4: According to the passage, in what way did the climate changes in the ice ages differ from the<br />
modern ones<br />
A. They were fully monitored by humans.<br />
B. They were partly intended.<br />
C. They occurred naturally over a long period of time<br />
D. They were wholly the result of human activity.<br />

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the<br />
correct answer to each of the questions from 14 to 20.<br />
There is a common expression in the English language referring to a blue moon. When people say that<br />
something happens "only once in a blue moon", they mean that it happens only very rarely, once in a<br />
great while. This expression has been around for at least a century and a half; there are line references to<br />
this expression that date from the second half of the nineteenth century.<br />
The expression "a blue moon" has come to refer to the second full moon occurring in any given<br />
calendar month. A second full moon is not called a blue moon because it is particularly blue or is any<br />
different in hue from the first full moon of the month. Instead, it is called a blue moon because it is so<br />
rare. The moon needs a little more than 29 days, to complete the cycle from full moon to full moon<br />
every month will have at least moon. Because every month except February has more than 29 days, every<br />
month will have at least one full moon (except February, which will have a full moon unless there is a full<br />
moon at the end of January and another full moon at the very beginning of March). It is on the occasion<br />
when a given calendar month has a second full moon that a blue moon occurs. This does not happen very<br />
often, only three or four times in a decade.<br />
The blue moons of today are called blue moons because of their rarity and not because of their<br />
color, however, the expression "blue moon" may have come into existence in reference to unusual<br />
circumstances in which the moon actually appeared blue. Certain natural phenomena of gigantic<br />
proportions can actually change the appearance of the moon from Earth. The eruption of the Krakatau<br />
Trang 2/5 - Mã đề thi 108<br />
<br />
volcano in 1883 left dust particles in the atmosphere, which clouded the sun and gave the moon a bluish<br />
tint. This particular occurrence of the blue moon may have given rise to the expression that we use today.<br />
Another example occured more than a century later. When Mount Pinatubo erupted in the Philipines in<br />
1991, the moon again took on a blue tint.<br />
Câu 14: According to paragraph 2, the second full moon is called “the blue moon” because ______.<br />

A. June 1st<br />
B. June 2nd<br />
C. May 31st<br />
D. May 30th<br />
Câu 16: It can be infered from the passage that ______.<br />
A. natural activities on Earth can alter the look of the moon<br />
B. the occasion of the blue moon happens every four years<br />
C. the blue moon is bigger but darker than the first full moon<br />
