Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer. The costs and benefits of global warming will vary greatly from area to area. For moderate climate change, the balance can be difficult to assess. But the larger the change in climate, the more negative the consequences will become. Global warming will probably make life harder, not easier, for most people. This is mainly because we have already built enormous infrastructure based on the climate we now have. People in some temperate zones may benefit from milder winters, more abundant rainfall, and expanding crop production zones. But people in other areas will suffer from increased heat waves, coastal erosion, rising sea level, more erratic rainfall, and droughts. The crops, natural vegetation, and domesticated and wild animals (including seafood) that sustain people in a given area may be unable to adapt to local or regional changes in climate. The ranges of diseases and insect pests that are limited by temperature may expand, if other environmental conditions are also favourable. In its summary report on the impacts of climate change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stated, “Taken as a whole, the range of published evidence indicates that the net damage costs of climate change are likely to be significant and to increase over time.” What is the main idea of the passage?
Global warming only brings benefits to people in temperate zones.
The effects of global warming are complex and mostly harmful, varying by region.
Climate change will improve agricultural production worldwide.
People can easily adapt to climate change with modern technology.
Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer. According to the passage above about impacts of global warming, which of the following is a possible benefit in some temperate zones?

Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer. 2026: We may not be driving around in hover cars or eating tablets instead of tasty food, but in 10 years’ time some things will be very different. The four-day working week will certainly be a reality, so we’ll have a lot more time for leisure activities. If you ask a hundred people to look into the future, you will probably get a hundred answers. But two major themes seem to emerge from almost every prediction made. The first is variety in every aspect of our lives. We’ll probably be living in what futurologists have called a ‘multi-option society’. You may be married with 2.2 children, but this won’t be the norm any more. It will simply be one of a number of choices, along with living in groups and living alone. The other huge influence on our lives will be micro technology – computers and telecommunications. Take work, for instance, factories will be run largely by robots, so they’ll be cleaner places for the few people who work in them. Offices, too, will go electronic with the result that paper will almost completely disappear. More people will work from home at computers linked to a head office. Their homes may even be turned into ‘electronic cottages’, with Mum, Dad and even the children all sharing one or maybe two jobs. What is the passage mainly about?
The disadvantages of living in the future
Predictions about changes in lifestyle and work in the future
The development of hover cars and future food
How technology will replace family life
Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer. According to the passage about 2026, what will probably become a reality in the future?
