Read the following passage on climate change, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your
answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 67 to 76.
Experts in climatology and other scientists are becoming extremely concerned about the changes to our
climate which are taking place. Admittedly, climate changes have occurred on our planet before. For example,
there have been several ice ages or glacial periods.
These climatic changes, however, were different from the modern ones in that they occurred gradually
and, as far as we know, naturally. The changes currently being monitored are said to be the result not of
natural causes, but of human activity. Furthermore, the rate of change is becoming alarmingly rapid.
The major problem is that the planet appears to be warming up. According to some experts, this warming
process, known as global warming, is occurring at a rate unprecedented in the last 10,000 years. The
implications for the planet are very serious. Rising global temperatures could give rise to such ecological
disasters as extremely high increases in the incidence of flooding and of droughts. These in turn could have a
harmful effect on agriculture.
It is thought that this unusual warming of the Earth has been caused by so-called greenhouse gases, such
as carbon dioxide, being emitted into the atmosphere by car engines and modern industrial processes, for
example. Such gases not only add to the pollution of the atmosphere, but also create a greenhouse effect, by
which the heat of the sun is trapped. This leads to the warming up of the planet.
Politicians are also concerned about climate change and there are now regular summits on the subject,

A. Carbon dioxide is one of the gases that may cause the so-called greenhouse effect.
B. The so-called sinks created by forests can absorb greenhouse gases.
C. The problem of rapid climate change has been caused mainly by deforestation.
D. Politicians are among those who are concerned about climate change.
