correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 43 to 50.
The economic growth that many nations in Asia and increasingly Africa have experienced over the
past couple of decades has transformed hundreds of millions of lives – almost entirely for the better. But
there’s a byproduct to that growth, one that’s evident – or sometimes less than evident – in the smoggy,
smelly skies above cities like Beijing, New Delhi and Jakarta. Thanks to new cars and power plants, air
pollution is bad and getting worse in much of the world, and it’s taking a major toll on global health.
How big? According to a new analysis published in the Lancet, more than 3.2 million people
suffered deaths from air pollution in 2010, the largest number on record. That’s up from 800,000 in 2000.
And it’s a regional problem: 65% of those deaths occurred in Asia, where the air is choked by diesel soot



Vững vàng nền tảng, Khai sáng tương lai

Developing cities will almost certainly see an increase in car ownership as residents become wealthier –
and that doesn’t have to mean deadly air pollution. Higher incomes should also lead to tougher
environmental regulations, which is exactly what happened in the West. We can only hope it happens
before the death toll from bad air gets even higher.
(Source: by Bryan Walsh)
Question 43: What tends to give rise to the highest death toll according to the passage?
A. The lack of tight environmental protection standards.
B. The world’s serious air pollution such as soot and dust.
C. The increasing numbers of the diesel cars and trucks.
D. The frighteningly high death rate from deadly cancer.
Question 44: The phrase “taking a major toll” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. making it possible

B. creating motivation

C. having a bad effect

D. leading to danger

Question 45: All of the following statements are true according to the passage EXCEPT _______.
A. The report found that the number of people suffering deaths from air pollution in 2010 is greater than
that in 2000.
B. The tightening of the emission standards has helped people solve some of the immediate
environmental problems, for example, tackle air pollution.
C. Many efforts have been put into the reduction of the emission of pollutants through the tightening of
legislation on new vehicles.

A. the diesel soot is too small to be seen
B. the diesel soot is much too poisonous to breathe
C. the diesel soot roots in lungs and gets into blood
D. the diesel soot can also contribute to deadly cancer
Question 49: According to the passage, the writer actually wants to convince the readers that ______.
A. the global economic growth is mainly to blame for air pollution and climate change
B. the developing countries are repeating the same mistakes as the developed ones made
C. the ecological situation and air pollution in India are becoming worse and worse
D. the unbeatable air is increasingly becoming a major killer throughout the world
Question 50: By describing urban design as “the best solutions” in the last paragraph, the writer means
that ______.
A. the making of tougher environmental regulations alone is of little use
B. more sever regulations should be made to handle air pollution
C. the urban construction in western developed countries is the best choice
D. the pace of development has to be slowed down to reduce air pollution

Global emissions of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning jumped by the largest amount on
record in 2010. Emissions rose 5.9 percent in 2010, according to an analysis released on Sunday by the
Global Carbon Project.
Scientists said the increase was almost certainly the largest absolute jump in any year since the
Industrial Revolution. The increase solidified a trend of ever-rising emissions that will make it difficult, if
not impossible, to stop severe climate change in coming decades.
The burning of coal represented more than half of the growth in emissions, the analysis found. In
the United States, emissions dropped by a remarkable 7 percent in the year of 2009, but rose by over 4
percent in 2010, the new analysis shows.
“Each year, emissions go up, and there’s another year of negotiations, another year of indecision,”
said Glen P. Peters, a researcher at the Center for International Climate and Environmental Research.
“There’s no evidence that this path we’ve been following in the last 10 years is going to change.”
