Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer<br />
to each of the questions from 9 to 16.<br />
It seems as if every time you turn on the television news, you hear one or the other of the following<br />
catchphrases of the 1990s: global warming, greenhouse effect, climate change. As it often is with catchphrases,<br />
hardly anyone knows what these phrases really mean or how they relate to each other.<br />
In the past 100 years, in our effort to make the Earth a more civilized place, industrial production has<br />
increased by fifty times. Four fifths of that growth has come since 1950. This production - most of it based on the<br />
burning of wood, and of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas - has greatly increased the amount of carbon<br />
dioxide in the atmosphere. When fossil fuels are burned, they release carbon into the air in the form of carbon<br />
dioxide. Carbon dioxide allows heat that would normally escape from the Earth's atmosphere to remain trapped, as<br />
it would in a greenhouse - thus the greenhouse effect.<br />
When do you burn fossil fuels? When you turn on a light, or run an air conditioner, or take a hot shower, or<br />
make toast, you contribute to the greenhouse effect. It is a by-product of the use of energy- electricity, gasoline, or<br />
oil.<br />
But how can carbon dioxide be bad when human beings exhale it every time they breathe? Plants need<br />
carbon dioxide; they use it to grow. Oceans absorb it. And forests drink it in. Without carbon dioxide, the average<br />
surface temperature on Earth would be 0 degrees Fahrenheit, instead of 59 degrees Fahrenheit. In nature, carbon<br />
dioxide is necessary and harmless. Here is the problem: in our effort to make the world a more comfortable place,<br />
people have produced far too much of it.<br />
Scientists have calculated that the atmosphere before the Industrial Revolution contained about 280 parts<br />
per million of carbon dioxide - the highest level recorded in the past 160,000 years. The current reading is near 360<br />
parts per million. In the next 140 years, the carbon dioxide level should reach at least 560 parts per million.<br />
We have increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the air by 25 percent in the past century. Carbon<br />
dioxide is not exclusively responsible for the greenhouse problem, however. Other greenhouse gases include<br />
chlorofluorocarbons, nitrogen oxides and methane.<br />

D. released<br />

A. For more than half a century, industrial production has increased by forty times.<br />
B. People burn more fossil fuels when they take a hot shower than when they make toast.<br />
C. Carbon dioxide causes more problems than the other greenhouse gases do.<br />
D. According to the scientists, the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere has been gradually increasing.<br />
Question 12. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?<br />
A. The carbon dioxide level in the next 140 years will increase at least by two times what it was before the<br />
Industrial Revolution.<br />
B. We shouldn’t turn on a light, or run an air conditioner, or take a hot shower, or make toast to stop the green<br />
house effect.<br />
C. We all know clearly about the relationship between global warming, greenhouse effect, and climate change<br />
D. Carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, nitrogen oxides and methane are equally responsible for the greenhouse<br />
problem.<br />

B. Carbon dioxide trapped in the Earth's atmosphere does not cause the greenhouse effect.<br />
C. Carbon dioxide will not be harmful unless people produce far too much of it.<br />

to each of the questions from 19 to 25.<br />
Humans are consuming hundreds of wild animals “to extinction” for meat, ornaments, medicines and pets,<br />
according to scientists. A global crisis sparked by unregulated or illegal hunting and trapping means 301 different<br />
species – from monkeys to bats – are now in danger, a new study claims. Experts at Oregon State University in the<br />
US, who conducted the research, have warned the decline is having a significant environmental impact and<br />
undermining the food security of millions of people in Asia, Africa and South America. “Our goal is to raise<br />
awareness of this global crisis. Many of these animals are at the brink of extinction. The illegal smuggling in<br />
wildlife and wildlife products is run by dangerous international networks and ranks among trafficking in arms,<br />
human beings and drugs in terms of profits,” said study leader Professor William Ripple.<br />
Researchers concluded that bold changes and political will were needed to diminish the possibility of<br />
humans consuming many of the world’s wild mammals to the point of extinction. Of the species affected, 126 were<br />
primates, more than any other group, according to a team of researchers writing in the journal Royal Society Open<br />
Science. Animal rights activists said the study should serve as a wake-up call to protect endangered species from<br />
extinction. “This research should be heart-stopping news for anyone who cares about wild animal welfare and the<br />
health of our planet. Urgent action needs to be taken by governments across the globe to protect these hundreds of<br />
threatened species from extinction,” Dr Neil D’Cruze, Head of Wildlife Research and Policy at World Animal<br />
Protection told The Independent.<br />
The authors found that wild meat made up a crucial part of global diets, with an estimated 89,000 tonnes<br />
harvested annually in the Brazilian Amazon alone. They also found overhunting to be mainly associated with<br />
poorer countries, where hunters might find it harder to feed their families. The research also showed much of the<br />
wild animal meat was sold in street markets and destined to become urban restaurant delicacies.<br />
In 2010, another study found that about five tonnes of bushmeat was smuggled weekly in tourist luggage<br />
through Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, France. Dr D’Cruze said: “There are also the too often forgotten welfare<br />
impacts and high levels of suffering that animals, like primates, endure when captured and slaughtered for bush<br />
meat or the illegal wildlife trade. We must prevent the extinction of these incredible species, but we must also<br />
eradicate the pain and suffering being inflicted on millions of animals as we speak.” Large carnivores and<br />
herbivores over 10 kg comprised a small percentage of the animals listed but were hit more severely by<br />
overhunting, it was claimed. Scientists also warned the loss of large mammals could result in population explosions<br />
of prey animals, greater risk of disease and economic impact on humans. The study found that 57 large species of<br />
Trang 3 / 6 – Mã đề 357<br />
<br />
even-toed ungulates, including hippopotamus, wild yak, camel and marsh deer, were threatened by hunting. Smaller<br />
mammals were said to play crucial roles in dispersing seeds, pollinating plants and controlling insects. Wild ox,<br />
camels, pigs, fruit bats, rhinoceroses, tapirs, deer, tree kangaroos, armadillos, pangolins, rodents and big cats, were<br />
all said to be affected.<br />

JARGON-THE UPSIDE<br />
