C. READING
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.” 37. A. Although B. Despite C. However D. Because
