Scientists (7) ________ realised that the island's appearance (8) ________ a unique

however, they were not alone in (9) ________ the island attractive. It became

Part 3: Read the following passage. For question 1-5, choose the best answer (A, B, C, or 
D). Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes.
Day after day we hear about how anthropogenic development is causing global 
warming. According to an increasingly vocal minority, however, we should be asking 
ourselves how much of this is media hype and how much is based on real evidence. It 
seems, as so often is the case, that it depends on which expert you listen to, or which 
statistics you study.
Yes, it is true that there is a mass of evidence to indicate that the world is getting 
warmer, with one of the world's leading weather predictors stating that air 
temperatures have shown an increase of just under half a degree Celsius since the 
beginning of the twentieth century. And while this may not sound like anything worth 
losing sleep over the international press would have us believe that the consequences 
could be devastating. Other experts, however, are of the opinion that what we are 
seeing is just part of a natural upward and downward swing that has always been part 
of the cycle of global weather. An analysis of the views of major meteorologists in the 
United States showed that less than 20% of them believed that any change in 
temperature over the last hundred years was our own fault-the rest attributed it to 
natural cyclical changes.
There is, of course, no denying that we are still at a very early stage in understanding 
weather. The effects of such variables as rainfall, cloud formation, the seas and oceans, 
gases such as methane and ozone, or even solar energy are still not really understood, 
and therefore the predictions that we make using them cannot always be relied on. Dr. 
James Hansen, in 1988, was predicting that the likely effects of global warming would 
be a raising of world temperature which would have disastrous consequences for 
mankind: "a strong cause and effect relationship between the current climate and 
human alteration of the atmosphere". He has now gone on record as stating that using 
artificial models of climate as a way of predicting change is all but impossible. In fact, he 
now believes that, rather than getting hotter, our planet is getting greener as a result of 
the carbon dioxide increase, with the prospect of increasing vegetation in areas which 
in recent history have been frozen wastelands.
In fact. there is some evidence to suggest that as our computer-based weather models 
have become more sophisticated, the predicted rises in temperature have been cut 
back. In addition, if we look at the much reported rise in global temperature over the 
last century, a close analysis reveals that the lion's share of that increase, almost three 
quarters in total, occurred before man began to 'poison' his world with industrial 
processes and the accompanying greenhouse gas emissions in the second half of the 
twentieth century. C. there is a significant link between the climate now, and man's changing of the 
atmosphere.
D. Earth is getting colder.
