Thông tin:
+ The change in the global surface temperature between 1850 and the end of the 21st Century is likely to exceed 1.5°C, most simulations suggest. (Hầu hết các mô phỏng đều cho thấy sự thay đổi nhiệt độ bề mặt toàn cầu từ năm 1850 đến cuối thế kỷ 21 có khả năng vượt quá 1,5°C.)
→ A đúng
+ The UN is leading a political effort to stabilise greenhouse-gas emissions for as long as we continue to emit greenhouse gases, temperatures will continue to rise. (Liên Hợp Quốc đang dẫn đầu một nỗ lực chính trị nhằm ổn định lượng phát thải khí nhà kính vì bất cứ lúc nào chúng ta còn tiếp tục thải khí nhà kính, nhiệt độ sẽ tiếp tục tăng.)
→ B đúng
+ But even if we now cut greenhouse-gas emissions dramatically, scientists say the effects will continue.
(Nhưng ngay cả khi bây giờ chúng ta cắt giảm đáng kể lượng khí thải nhà kính, các nhà khoa học cho biết những tác động sẽ vẫn tiếp tục diễn ra.)
→ C sai
+ As more CO2 is released into the atmosphere, uptake of the gas by the oceans increases, causing the water to become more acidic. This could pose major problems for coral reefs. (Khi nhiều CO2 được thải vào khí quyển, sự hấp thụ khí này của các đại dương tăng lên, khiến nước trở nên có tính axit hơn. Điều này có thể gây ra những vấn đề lớn cho các rạn san hô.)

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 25 to 29.
Imagine a city that’s steeped in history. Now think of a city that is vibrant and modern. Maybe you think no city can be both, but you’d be wrong. Istanbul, the most well-known city in Turkey, manages to combine both ancient traditions with a lively, contemporary feel.
Being the only city in the world that is situated on two continents, Istanbul is clearly something special. On the legendary Silk Route that once linked Asia and Europe and the capital of many different civilisations in the past, Istanbul has a cultural diversity that few cities can offer. It remains to this day a welcoming place for thousands of people that come to visit it each year.
Before you start thinking the city is touristy, Istanbul has more than just historic monuments. Alongside its fabulous mosques and palaces, you can find cool art galleries and trendy cafes. In fact, there is so much variety that you can always find something that suits your mood. If shopping is more your scene, you can head to the Grand Bazaar with its thousands of stalls, or visit the many shopping centres and fashion stores. At night the streets are bustling with life and you’re spoilt for choice for places to eat and drink.
Quite frankly, Istanbul should be on any list of the world’s most liveable cities for its unique beauty and character. But don’t just take my word for it. Come and see for yourself. You might just end up staying, like many have before!
