Climate change presents humanity with its greatest challenge, and many experts believe we're in a race against time. Governments worldwide are walking on eggshells as they attempt to balance economic growth with environmental protection. Industries that once helped people climb the corporate ladder now face intense scrutiny for their carbon footprints. The scientific consensus is clear: carbon emissions must decrease dramatically within the next decade to prevent catastrophic warming. Every fraction of a degree matters in this delicate planetary balance, making immediate action essential for future generations.

Renewable energy represents our most promising path forward. [I] Solar and wind power have experienced remarkable cost reductions, making them competitive with fossil fuels in many markets. [II] Hydroelectric power continues to provide reliable baseload generation in suitable regions. [III] Meanwhile, emerging technologies like green hydrogen offer potential solutions for sectors that prove difficult to electrify. Despite these advances, the transition faces significant hurdles, including intermittency issues and infrastructure limitations. [IV]

Consumer behavior plays a crucial role in addressing climate challenges. Individual choices regarding transportation, diet, and consumption patterns collectively influence global emissions significantly. Many people remain unaware that meat production contributes substantially to greenhouse gases through methane release and deforestation. Additionally, the fashion industry's environmental impact often goes unrecognized despite its massive carbon footprint. Education campaigns have begun targeting these blind spots, emphasizing how personal decisions connect to planetary outcomes. Sustainable alternatives are increasingly available, though often at premium prices that limit widespread adoption.

International cooperation represents the final piece of this complex puzzle. The Paris Agreement established a framework for nations to report and reduce their emissions, though implementation varies widely. Developing countries rightfully argue they should have space to improve living standards while industrialized nations bear greater responsibility. Carbon pricing mechanisms have shown promise where implemented effectively. Without coordinated global action that addresses both historical responsibilities and future development needs, achieving carbon balance remains unlikely. Technological transfer and financial support from wealthy nations will be crucial components of any successful global strategy.

The Earth's interior heat represents an often overlooked dimension of climate change. While most discussions focus on atmospheric warming, changes in our planet's geothermal systems are equally significant. Recent studies indicate that rising global temperatures affect underground heat patterns, potentially altering subsurface water systems and geological stability. These disruptions may intensify volcanic activity and earthquakes in certain regions. Scientists are monitoring these changes carefully to understand the long-term impacts on both natural environments and human settlements.

Geothermal energy offers a sustainable solution amid climate concerns. This renewable resource harnesses heat from within the Earth to generate electricity and provide heating without producing greenhouse gases. Countries like Iceland and New Zealand have successfully implemented geothermal power plants, demonstrating their feasibility. The technology has matured considerably in recent decades, making it more accessible and cost-effective. Despite these advantages, geothermal energy remains underutilized globally, accounting for less than 1% of worldwide electricity production.

Climate change creates both challenges and opportunities for geothermal applications. Shifting temperature patterns may modify the productivity of existing geothermal sites, requiring adaptation strategies. Nevertheless, as fossil fuel restrictions increase, investment in alternative energy sources like geothermal power has accelerated dramatically. This shift has stimulated technological innovation in drilling techniques and reservoir management. The transition toward cleaner energy sources is essential, yet it demands substantial financial commitment and policy support to overcome infrastructure limitations.

The relationship between climate change and geothermal activity represents a critical area for future research. Understanding these interactions could improve climate models and disaster prediction capabilities. Educational institutions have begun incorporating geothermal studies into environmental science programs, preparing the next generation of specialists. International cooperation will be vital to address these complex issues effectively.

The Arctic region is warming at an alarming rate, more than twice as fast as the rest of the planet. Scientists cannot keep a stiff upper lip about this crisis any longer, as the evidence becomes increasingly clear. This rapid warming leads to melting ice caps, rising sea levels, and changes in weather patterns worldwide. The Arctic serves as an early warning system for global climate change, much like canaries once warned miners of dangerous gases. Recent studies show that Arctic temperatures have reached record highs in the past decade, confirming scientists' worst fears about the pace of change.

The impacts of Arctic warming extend far beyond the polar region. [I] As Arctic ice melts, it creates a dangerous cycle. [II] White ice reflects sunlight back into space, but dark ocean water absorbs heat, further increasing temperatures. This "feedback loop" accelerates warming across the globe. [III] Researchers have documented significant permafrost thaw across Alaska, Canada, and Siberia, releasing greenhouse gases that have been locked away for thousands of years. [IV] This creates conditions that warm the planet even faster.

Wildlife in the Arctic faces severe challenges due to these changes. Polar bears struggle to hunt as sea ice diminishes, while Arctic foxes lose their camouflage advantage when snow melts early. Indigenous communities also suffer as their traditional hunting grounds disappear and coastal erosion threatens their homes. These communities have contributed minimally to climate change yet bear its heaviest burden. Many species that depend on cold conditions may face extinction if current warming trends continue unchecked.

International cooperation is essential to address this crisis. Scientists from different countries work together to monitor Arctic conditions and develop solutions. Many nations have signed agreements to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but progress remains slow. The melting Arctic reminds us that climate change requires immediate action from all countries, especially those with the largest carbon footprints. Our response to the Arctic crisis will determine the future of our planet. Without significant changes in human behavior and policy, the Arctic warning signs will only grow more severe.

Question 31: The phrase “keep a stiff upper lip” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _________.

  1. give up                        B. break down                        C. back off                        D. carry on

Question 32: Where in paragraph 2 does the following sentence best fit?

Additionally, melting permafrost releases methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that traps heat in our atmosphere.

  1. [I]                                B. [II]                                C. [III]                        D. [IV]

Question 33: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an effect of Arctic warming?

  1. Rising sea levels worldwide
  2. Increased hurricane intensity
  3. Release of methane from melting permafrost
  4. Loss of habitat for Arctic wildlife

Question 34: Which of the following best summarises paragraph 3?

  1. Arctic warming threatens wildlife survival and indigenous communities despite their minimal contribution to climate change.
  2. Polar bears and Arctic foxes are losing their natural habitats while researchers document the extensive wildlife migrations.
  3. Indigenous people are developing new hunting methods as scientists predict the timeline for complete Arctic ice recovery.
  4. International agreements have failed to protect Arctic species that are adapting to warmer temperatures across the region.

Question 35: The word “camouflage” in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to _________.

  1. concealment                B. disguise                        C. visibility                        D. protection

  2. Despite formal commitments to limit emissions, nations have made insufficient progress on climate action.
  3. Scientific research has convinced governments to sign treaties, though implementation faces technical barriers.
  4. International climate policies have been established but require additional funding to achieve meaningful results.

Question 38: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

  1. Arctic foxes have adapted successfully to the warming climate by developing new hunting strategies.
  2. Indigenous communities are receiving substantial compensation for climate change-related damages.
  3. Melting permafrost releases methane that has been trapped in frozen ground for thousands of years.
  4. International agreements have effectively slowed the rate of Arctic ice loss in the past decade.

Question 39: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

  1. Countries with larger carbon footprints bear greater responsibility for addressing climate change.
  2. Indigenous communities are developing innovative technologies to adapt to Arctic environmental shifts.
  3. Scientists have reached consensus that Arctic wildlife extinction is inevitable within the next decade.

Climate change is a global problem, but its effects are not equal across all countries. Some nations suffer more than others, despite contributing less to the problem. This uneven impact creates what experts call a "climate divide" between rich and poor countries. The rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, and extreme weather events affect communities differently based on their location and resources.

Wealthy nations like the United States and many European countries have historically released the most greenhouse gases. These countries have strong economies and better infrastructure to handle climate disasters. When floods or storms happen, they can quickly rebuild damaged areas. They also have the money to develop new technologies to reduce their emissions. However, many of these nations are still reluctant to make significant changes to their industries and lifestyles.

In contrast, developing countries like Bangladesh, many African nations, and small island states have contributed very little to global emissions. Yet these nations often experience the worst climate impacts. Rising sea levels threaten coastal communities, while droughts damage crops in agricultural regions. These nations lack the resources to build protective infrastructure or recover quickly from disasters. This situation is particularly unfair because these vulnerable communities have done the least to cause the problem.

The climate divide shows why international cooperation is essential. Wealthy nations must take responsibility for their historical emissions by reducing pollution and helping poorer countries adapt. Many experts believe that financial support from rich to poor nations is not charity but a matter of climate justice. Without global action that recognizes this divide, the world cannot effectively address climate change. Both types of nations must work together for a sustainable future.

Question 23: Which of the following is NOT MENTIONED as a climate change impact in the passage?

  1. Rising temperatures
  2. Melting glaciers
  3. Extreme weather events
  4. Changing rainfall patterns

Question 24: The word “uneven” in paragraph 1 is OPPOSITE in meaning to _________.

  1. irregular                        B. variable                        C. disproportionate                D. equal

Question 25: The word “their” in paragraph 2 refers to _________.

  1. poor countries                
  2. communities                
  3. wealthy nations                

D. new technologies

Question 26: The word “threaten” in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by _________.

  1. endanger                        B. worry                        C. approach                        D. surround

Question 27: Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?

  1. Rich countries should acknowledge past mistakes and provide technical assistance to developing nations facing climate challenges.
  2. Developed nations need to be accountable for past emissions through pollution reduction and supporting adaptation in vulnerable countries.
  3. Affluent states must compensate for environmental damage by transferring green technology to less fortunate nations globally.
  4. Industrialized regions should address climate issues by creating economic opportunities for impoverished countries worldwide.

Question 28: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

  1. Developing nations have contributed equally to climate change but suffer disproportionate consequences due to geographical factors.
  2. Most wealthy countries have already implemented significant industrial changes to address their historical emissions responsibility.
  3. Climate experts believe financial aid to vulnerable nations should be viewed primarily as charitable humanitarian assistance.
  4. Small island states and many African nations experience severe climate impacts despite having minimal contribution to global emissions.

Question 29: In which paragraph does the writer discuss how some countries have contributed less to climate change but suffer more from its effects?

  1. Paragraph 1                B. Paragraph 2                        C. Paragraph 3                D. Paragraph 4

Question 30: In which paragraph does the writer mention that financial support should be provided to poorer nations?

Question 15:

Dear Sam,

  1. I hope you will join our project since we need help. Even though we are young, we can make a difference together.
  2. My teacher showed melting ice pictures, which worried me about animals. While some sites have wrong information, we should trust scientists.
  3. When I visited my grandparents, they said their farm gets less rain now. If we don't act soon, farmers will face more problems.
  4. I am writing because I saw a report that shows our planet is warming. Although some deny it, we can see changes outside.
  5. I read that companies spread false news since they profit from oil. When they hide facts, people make bad choices.

Your friend,

LK

Question 16:

  1. Schools teach children how to grow vegetables, and students learn why plants help our planet. If we plant more trees, we can create cooler areas where birds can live.
  2. Even though climate change is scary, we must remember that every seed brings hope. If we all do our small part, we can create a greener world for future generations.
  3. Although our planet faces climate challenges, people are planting seeds of hope that grow into solutions. When communities work together, they create change that spreads like roots.
  4. Families grow food in small gardens, and they share vegetables with neighbors who need help. When people grow their own food, they feel happy and healthy.
  5. Scientists develop new seeds that survive in hot weather, while farmers use methods that save water. Although these changes seem small, they connect to make a bigger difference.

Question 17:

  1. Many communities are making ethical choices about how they use energy, and they are finding ways to live with less waste. Although changing our habits can be difficult, it feels right when we protect nature.
  2. We have a duty to protect the Earth for our children, and they deserve a healthy planet like we had. If we use too many resources today, future generations will face problems that they cannot solve.
  3. When we talk about climate change, we must think about what is fair for everyone on Earth. Although rich countries cause more pollution, poor countries often suffer the worst effects of our warming planet.
  4. If we think about what is fair for everyone, we can make better choices about how we treat our planet. When we act with care for others, we build a world where all people and nature can live in balance.
  5. Some people believe that companies should make changes, while others think individuals must change their daily habits. When we work together, both big businesses and ordinary people can help solve climate problems.
