Part 2: Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D on your test sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
From melting arctic ice caps to forest fires, global warming is heating up the planet and damaging the
Earth's ecosystems. Global warming is the rise of the Earth's temperatures caused by an increase of CO2 and
other greenhouse gas emissions. Global warming has increased very much in the past 100 years because people
are using more and more electricity and driving more cars. We are also cutting down more trees that clean the
air.
Scientists have been studying the effects of global warming on different ecosystems for a long time and
what they have found is quite worrying. The rising temperatures have caused many problems in ecosystems.
Arctic ice is melting, causing sea levels to rise and floods in seaside areas. As a result, animals and plants are
losing their homes. As oceans and rivers become warmer, the water temperatures keep changing. Some marine
animals cannot live in these new conditions. Since the 1970s, populations of fish in lakes and rivers have
decreased by 76 percent.
Global warming is also causing extreme weather events. Other ecosystems, like deserts and grasslands,
are experiencing terrible droughts and certain wildlife and plant species that depend on water are dying. Due to
the high temperatures, wildfires are destroying whole ecosystems such as forests. There has been a serious rise
in endangered species in recent years that could result in many animals becoming extinct. The loss of plants and
animals causes problems for all living things in an ecosystem. We need to take action to stop global warming
and save the Earth's ecosystems before it's too late.
