Global warming and cooling have occurred naturally throughout history. But in the last 200 years, humans'
uses of fossil fuels and clear cutting of forests have increased the amount of carbon dioxide and other gases in
the atmosphere. These gases trap some of the radiation from the sun which then increases the Earth's
temperature. Given the current state of environmental pollution caused by human activities, scientists believe
the average temperature of the earth may increase 1-2 degrees Celsius which put simply, means some places
will get much hotter and some much colder. At the same time, this overall warming effect means more
frequent and more intense weather systems, especially in terms of flooding and drought.
Viet Nam is one of the most vulnerable environments due to its location on the planet. It is already
subject to some of the Earth's most powerful weather systems and the increased frequency and intensity of
storms will affect it often and directly, especially in coastal areas where most people live.
Various estimates have been made as to the possible impacts. The most directly affected sector will be
agriculture, which is very sensitive to flooding and the effects of extreme weather.
Viet Nam has the advantage of coming relatively late into the industrialization, rbanization, and
modernization process. This means it can avoid many of the mistakes made y wealthier industrial countries.
For example, wireless communication networks can be built -om the start rather than installing lines that can
easily be destroyed in extreme weather. Cities an be designed and located in less vulnerable locations.
Climate-friendly building codes and andards can be created that are both more efficient and less prone to heat
stress, wind damage. ad flooding. Climate friendly transport systems, especially public transport, can be
adopted.
1. The causes of global warming come from ____________.
A. the rise in the radiation from the sun

3. Coastal areas in Viet Nam are often and directly affected by ____________.
A. its vulnerable location on the planet
B. subject to the earth's most powerful weather systems
C. storms with increased frequency and power
D. the overpopulation in coastal areas
4. In preparing for climate change, Viet Nam should take all of the following measures EXCEPT
____________.
A. developing wireless communication networks
B. setting climate-friendly building codes and standards
C. adopting public transport systems

Viet Nam Likely to Face Extreme Weather Conditions by 2050
Viet Nam is likely to continue facing extreme weather conditions such as higher temperatures, lower summer
rainfalls, stronger storms, and rising sea levels from now to 2050. Temperatures in northern Viet Nam will
rise by between 0.83 degrees Celsius by 2050 and continue its uptrend during the late 21st century. Summer
rainfall will decline in most areas. Meanwhile, storms may become rarer but fiercer, causing possible flash
floods and landslides in flood-prone areas of northern mountainous, central and central highland provinces.
The forecasts suggest sea level rises of 100mm 400mm along the entire Vietnamese coast by the end of the
21st century, affecting marine biodiversity and coastal communities. The experts emphasize the
unpredictability of climate change and its potential impacts to create a variety of dangerous extreme weather
events in the future.
To raise the public awareness of climate change impacts, the Vietnamese government urges concerned
agencies to work together on devising worst-case scenario models and responses by 2030 and calls on
international experts to further support Viet Nam in climate change adaptation. Climate change is a real threat
to Viet Nam's socio-economic development. If sea levels rose one meter, five percent of the country's land,
eleven percent of its population and seven percent of its farmland would be affected.
6. By 2050, Vietnam continues facing all of these extreme weather conditions EXCEPT __________.
A. higher temperatures B. storms reaching record levels
C. lower summer rainfalls D. rising sea levels
7. Sea level rises along the entire Vietnamese coast by the end of the 21st century will __________.
A. cause certain flash floods and landslides in flood-prone areas
B. make temperatures in northern Viet Nam rise until 2050
C. make storms become rarer but fiercer in the near future
D. have impacts on marine biodiversity and coastal communities
8. To experts, they __________to predict exactly the model of the climate change and its potential impacts.
A. are unable B. are likely C. are certain D. are surprised
9. Viet Nam needs__________
A. to recognize Viet Nam's socio-economic development in the future
B. to calculate sea level rise, loss of farmland, and rise in population by 2030
C. to raise people's awareness of climate change and to ask for foreign help
D. to recognize the percentage of farmland which would be affected by its population
10. The word "worst-case scenario models" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to__________
A. the worst scenes that could occur
B. the worst climate change impacts that will happen
C. the worst possible things that could happen
D. the worst unpredictability of climate change
*
Global warming is affecting the entire world. The temperatures are rising, which causes the ice in polar
regions to melt. As a result, sea levels are increasing, and low-lying areas are in danger. Scientists have been
studying these changes for many years. They are researching how we can protect our planet. Green forests are
one of the Earth’s greatest assets because they provide clean air to breathe. Without these trees, our living
conditions would worsen. The forest plays a crucial role in absorbing carbon dioxide.
However, many forests are being cut down at an alarming rate. This deforestation threatens many animals that
use trees as shelter. It also affects humans, as we rely on these forests for clean air and water. To ensure a
healthy future, more efforts need to be made to stop deforestation. Governments around the world should take
steps to protect these natural resources. Many organizations are working to plant more trees.
Climate change also affects the weather patterns. Some areas are experiencing more intense rain, while others
face longer droughts. These changes make it difficult for people to grow food and find water. Our seasons are
becoming unpredictable, which impacts human life and agriculture. Action should be taken by everyone to
reduce carbon emissions. We should also be focusing on finding renewable energy sources.
In summary, global warming is a significant challenge. Many changes have already been observed, and more
are expected in the future. By working together, we can take steps to lessen the impact. Individuals and
governments should work to ensure a greener, healthier planet. Even small actions, like recycling and using
public transport, can contribute to protecting our world.
Question 6. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Forests are more important than people realize.
B. Global warming is a serious issue that requires action from everyone.
C. Climate change helps scientists understand the Earth.
D. Sea levels are rising and threatening animals.
Question 7. What does the pronoun “They” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Governments B. Green forests C. Scientists D. Individuals
Question 8. What does the word "unpredictable" in paragraph 3 most likely mean?
A. Dangerous B. Cannot be guessed or expected C. Very long D. Helpful to farmers
Question 9. What can be inferred from the passage about forests?
A. Forests only help animals, not humans.
B. Forests are only useful in the polar regions.
C. Forests cause climate change in some areas.
D. Forests help fight global warming by absorbing carbon dioxide.
Question 10. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Solar panels should be installed on all buildings. B. People should recycle more.

Advocates of the laws and journalists who cover the issue often neglect to ask what will replace plastic bags
and what the environmental impact of that replacement will be. People still need bags to bring home
theirgroceries. And the most common substitute, paper bags, may be just as bad or worse, depending on the
environmental problem you are most concerned about.

That is leading to a split in the anti-bag movement. Some bills, like in Massachusetts, try to reduce the use of
paper bags as well as plastic, but still favour paper. Others, like in New York City, treat all single-use bags
equally. Even then, the question remains as to whether single-use bags are necessarily always worse than
reusable ones.

Studies of bags’ environmental impacts over their life cycle have reached widely varying conclusions. Some
are funded by plastic industry groups, like the ironically named American Progressive Bag Alliance. Even
studies conducted with the purest of intentions depend on any number of assumptions. How many plastic bags
are replaced by one cotton tote bag? If a plastic bag is reused in the home as the garbage bag in a bathroom
waste bin, does that reduce its footprint by eliminating the need for another small plastic garbage bag?

If your chief concern is climate change, things get even muddier. One of the most comprehensive research
papers on the environmental impact of bags, published in 2007 by an Australian state government agency,
found that paper bags have a higher carbon footprint than plastic. That is primarily because more energy is
required to produce and transport paper bags.

“People look at paper and say it’s degradable, therefore it’s much better for the environment, but it’s not in
terms of climate change impact,” says David Tyler, a professor of chemistry at the University of Oregon who
has examined the research on the environmental impact of bag use. The reasons for paper’s higher carbon
footprint are complex but can mostly be understood as stemming from the fact that paper bags are much
thicker than plastic bags. “Very broadly, carbon footprints are proportional to mass of an object,” says Tyler.
For example, because paper bags take up so much more space, more trucks are needed to ship paper bags to a
store than to ship plastic bags.
