Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each 
of the questions. 
 Every year, the average temperature of the Earth’s surface gets a little bit warmer. This gradual trend 
is called global warming. Warmer weather may sound nice, but global warming is something to be very 
concerned about. 
 Scientists are worried that continued warmer temperatures could damage the environment in many 
devastating ways. Rising temperatures might cause plants and animals to become extinct. They could 
melt enough polar ice to cause the levels of the sea to rise. Weather patterns could also change. There 
might be more droughts or serious storms with flooding. In some areas, human diseases could spread. 
 What is causing global warming? Humans are mostly to blame. Pollution from factories and cars 
adds toxic gases to the air. These gases rise to the Earth’s atmosphere. As the sun’s rays warm the Earth, 
the gases work much like the glass in a greenhouse. They help trap the heat in the atmosphere and make 
the Earth grow warmer. That is why they are nicknamed “greenhouse gases.” 
 It is our responsibility to take care of our planet. Global warming is a serious problem with serious 
consequences. If we want future generations to enjoy their time on Earth, we must act now!

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each

 Living in the country is something that people from the city often dream about. However, it has both 
advantages and disadvantages. 
 There are certainly many advantages of living in the country. First, you can enjoy peace and 
quietness. Moreover, people tend to be friendlier. A further advantage is that there is less traffic, so it is 
safer for young children. 
 However, there are certain disadvantages or drawbacks to life outside the city. First, because there 
are fewer people, you are unlikely to have new friends. In addition, entertainment is difficult to find, 
particularly in the evening. Furthermore, the fact that there are fewer shops and services so it is quite 
hard to find jobs. As a result, you may have to travel a long way to work, which can be extremely 
expensive. 
 In conclusion, it can be seen that the country is more suitable for some people than others. On the 
whole, it is often the best place for those who are retired or who have young children. In contrast, young 
or single people who have a career are better provided for in the city.
