Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each question. WORLD POPULATION AND CLIMATE CHANGE In many ways, the increasingly rapid pace of climate change is a direct result of the growth of the human population. In the last 100 years, the world population has more than tripled, from just under 2 billion at the beginning of the century to nearly 7 billion today. Obviously, this has meant that the world has needed to produce three times as much food, energy, and other natural resources. In addition, the average person uses more energy and natural resources than the average person one hundred years ago, meaning that the rates of consumption are actually much higher than just the increase in population would imply. For example, it took the world 125 years to use the first one trillion barrels of oil. The next trillion barrels will be used in less than 30 years, which is almost 5 times as fast, not three. All of these activities: food production, energy usage, and the use of natural resources, contribute to climate change in some way. The greater amounts of oil and other fuels burned to create energy release chemicals which add to global warming. In order to produce more food farmers cut down trees to gain more land for their fields. In addition, we cut down trees to build the houses needed for a larger population. Those trees are an essential part of controlling global warming. These are just two examples of the impacts that the growing population has on global warming; others are too numerous to mention. In addition to a growing population, the world also has a population that desires a higher standard of living than in the past, and a higher standard of living requires the use of even more natural resources. A look at one country will provide a clear example of this fact. China is the world's most populous nation, with 1.3 billion people. Currently, the standard of living for most of those people is far below that of people in first world nations. Therefore, the average Chinese citizen uses far fever natural resources and less energy than the average citizen of the US or Japan. But China is growing in power, and more of its citizens are beginning to expect a first world lifestyle. If every Chinese person attains a first world lifestyle, the amount of energy and natural resources needed in the world will double, even if the standard of living in every other nation on Earth remains the same as it is today. 1. The word "pace" in the passage is closest in meaning to…. . A. growth B. speed C. problem D. pollution 2. The word "consumption" in the passage is closest in meaning to…. A. development B. usage C. population D. increase 3. According to the passage, how does food production contribute to global warming? A. Producing more food leads to growth in the world population. B. Food production uses many chemicals which add to global warming. C. Food production requires that the forests be cleared to create farmland. D. Food production decreases the ability of the air to release heat. 4. The word “others” in the passage refers to…. . A. problems of global warming in the modern world B. examples of the environmental consequences of population growth C. ways in which our usage of oil will effect the world climate D. the reasons why trees are essential in controlling global warming 5. According to the passage, how does the standard of living affect global warming? A. Higher standards of living are better for the environment. B. First world nations create less population than developing nations. C. The use of natural resources is directly related to the standard of living. D. High standards of living lead to increases in world population. 6A. To compare the standards of their citizens B. To explain why China will not be able to become a first world nation C. To better illustrate the effects of an increase in standards of living D. To explain why the world's use of energy will need to double soon

+ Choose the item (A, B, C, or D) that best completes each of the following sentences. The Office Charles walked through the office door and into a perfect world of order. The carpet was clear of the paper avalanche which had buried it on the very day it was put down, and the naked desk was dark wood, just as he remembered it from the Sotheby's auction of five weeks ago. Neat file-holders were being put in their proper drawers. Twelve years of trade journals now filled the shelves on one wall. Kathleen strained to close the door of the filing cabinet and then turned on him. 'You have to go to computers, Charles. This is just too much. ' 'Hello, Kathleen. Oh, this is amazing.' He was admiring the room, its antique furniture. He was not visualizing a computer or any other mechanical device in it, not even a pencil sharpener. 'Simply amazing,' he said, altogether skirting the issue of computers. Over the two years, he had known her, they'd had this conversation many times. She could never understand his resistance to the technology when he was so adept at computers and had even published an important paper on computer-mode giftedness. She had been the inspiration for that paper. Via the keyboard, she could dip her fingers into the stuffing of any software and make it into a new animal that could sit up and bark at the moon if she wished. ║ 1, What particularly pleased Charles when he first entered the office?

Perhaps one of the most dramatic and important changes that took place in the Mesozoic era occurred late in that era, among the small organisms that populate the uppermost, sunlit portion of the oceans--the plankton. The term "plankton" is a broad Line one, designating all of the small plants and animals that float about or weakly propel (5) themselves through the sea. In the late stages of the Mesozoic era. during the Cretaceous period, there was a great expansion of plankton that precipitated skeletons or shells composed of two types of mineral: silica and calcium carbonate. This development radically changed the types of sediments that accumulated on the seafloor, because, while the organic parts of the plankton decayed after the organisms died, their mineralized (10) skeletons often survived and sank to the bottom. For the first time in the Earth's long history, very large quantities of silica skeletons, which would eventually harden into rock, began to pile up in parts of the deep sea. Thick deposits of calcareous ooze made up of the tiny remains of the calcium carbonate-secreting plankton also accumulated as never before. The famous white chalk cliffs of Dover, in the southeast of England, are just one (15) example of the huge quantities of such material that amassed during the Cretaceous period; there are many more. Just why the calcareous plankton were so prolific during the latter part of the Cretaceous period is not fully understood. Such massive amounts of chalky sediments have never since been deposited over a comparable period of time. The high biological productivity of the Cretaceous oceans also led to ideal conditions (20) for oil accumulation. Oil is formed when organic material trapped in sediments is slowly buried and subjected to increased temperatures and pressures, transforming it into petroleum. Sediments rich in organic material accumulated along the margins of the Tethys Seaway, the tropical east-west ocean that formed when Earth's single landmass (known as Pangaea) split apart during the Mesozoic era. Many of today's important oil (25) fields are found in those sediments--in Russia, the Middle East, the Gulf of Mexico, and in the states of Texas and Louisiana in the United States. According to the passage, the most dramatic change to the oceans caused by plankton during the Creta the depth of the water the makeup of the sediment on the ocean floor the decrease in petroleum-producing sediment a decline in the quantity of calcareous ooze on the seafloor

Giải giúp em với ạ Read the text and choose the best answer for each of the following questions. My first trip abroad was about 25 years ago. It was only a two-week on-the-job training course so I stayed at a distant relative’s house and used public transport to go to the training venue in the downtown area of the city. What impressed me the most was what I could often see on the train and even on the bus. Young couples held each other’s hands while standing in the aisle. They had to be standing as seats were limited in peak hours and perhaps holding hands helped them to stabilize themselves. For whatever reason it could be, I enjoyed seeing people “uniting” by holding hands and sometimes smiling with each other with the eyes. I had a chance to visit the same city again last month. I went there for an international conference. Much has changed since. Following the event, I went to visit the relative who I had stayed with before and this time I was on a fully automatic tram. I read from the information leaflets on the platforms that the tram, in place of the old train, was driverless thanks to the application of the latest artificial intelligence. With the new tram now operating more frequently, there were very few standing passengers; each appeared to be comfy in their seats. However, most of them were busy with their gadgets, mostly smart phones and tablets, perhaps catching up with friends on social networks while forgetting the companions nearby. I could see this time no couple holding each other’s hands anymore. Those were the two snapshots of the same city at the two times that were a quarter of a century apart. Artificial intelligence has helped to modernize the transport. Yet, where has the holding of each other’s hands been gone? I may be nostalgic but I really miss the golden times when people had more physical contact. 1. What made the writer impressed when being on a train and a bus? A. Limited seats. B. Young couples holding each other’s hands while standing. C. Crowdedness. D. Busy people in the morning and in the afternoon. 2. How did the writer feel when seeing people holding hands and smiling with each other? A. The writer felt curious about it. B. The writer felt uncomfortable with it. C. The writer was really interested in it. D. The writer felt lonely due to having no partner. 3. How did the transport change when the writer came there again? A. The old train network was replaced by the fully automatic tram system. B. There were very few passengers on the tram. C. There were no couples anymore. D. Most passengers tried to catch up with the companions nearby on the tram. 4. How did the writer feel while visiting the city for the second time? A. The writer missed the golden time in the past. B. The writer was not nostalgic anymore. C. The writer liked the city’s change. D. The writer was not impressed with the city’s change. 5. Which of the following is not mentioned in the text? A. The writer first trip abroad was to study. B. The writer had to be seated on the train and the bus. C. New trams were operated by the application of the latest artificial intelligence D. The city mentioned in the text had changed dramatically over the 25 years.
