answer to each of the questions from 30 to 37.<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 30: 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 wholly the result of human activity.<br />
B. They occurred naturally over a long period of time<br />
C. They were fully monitored by humans.<br />
D. They were partly intended.<br />
Câu 31: The word “alarmingly” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.<br />
A. worryingly<br />
B. disapprovingly<br />
C. surprisingly<br />
D. disappointingly<br />
Câu 32: According to the passage, agriculture could ______.<br />
A. make the global warming more serious<br />
B. be indirectly affected by the global temperature rises<br />
C. give rise to many ecological disasters<br />
Trang 3/5 - Mã đề thi 302<br />
<br />
D. be directly damaged by the rises in global temperature<br />

A. are emitted by car engines<br />
B. trap heat from the sun<br />
C. are unusual gases<br />
D. do not add to atmosphere pollution<br />

A. the most important summit on climate change taking place in Kyoto, Japan<br />
B. the largest number of summits on the subject of climate change<br />
C. the highest attendance by representatives from 180 industrialised countries<br />

warming are ______.<br />
A. the most industrialized countries<br />
B. countries with the warmest climate<br />

A. Politicians are among those who are concerned about climate change<br />
B. The so-called sinks created by forests can absorb greenhouse gases.<br />
C. The problem of rapid climate change has been caused mainly by deforestation<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 38 to 44.<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 />
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 38: According to paragraph 2, the second full moon is called “the blue moon” because ______.<br />
A. it is bluer than the first full moon<br />
B. it has a bluish hue<br />
C. it is infrequent<br />
D. it appears on unhappy days<br />

A. May 31st<br />
B. May 30th<br />
C. June 1 st<br />
D. June 2nd<br />
Câu 40: It can be infered from the passage that ______.<br />
A. the blue moon is bigger but darker than the first full moon<br />
Trang 4/5 - Mã đề thi 302<br />

C. the occasion of the blue moon happens every four years<br />
