Question

The Earth is heating up and most scientists believe that it's all our fault. Whenwe burn fossil fuels, greenhouse gases suchas carbon dioxide increase and surround theearth like a thick blanket. This traps heat andtemperatures rise. Scientists say that in the next100 years, average temperatures will rise byabout 3°C. This doesn't sound like a lot, but itmeans BIG trouble! Ice is already melting,levels are rising and the climate is changing. Howexactly is all this changing our world, and what willhappen if we don't act in time?seaССССССССССАCities under the seafromthisAccording to recent climate reports, melting icethe polar ice caps and mountain glaciers could causesea levels to rise by about 1 metre by 2100. Ifhappens, whole countries such as the Maldives willvanish and millions in low-lying areas like parts ofBangladesh will lose their homes. Already, twosmall Pacific islands have disappeared under thewaves. Coastal cities including Shanghai, Bangkok,New York and London will also be under threat.In Greenland, ice is melting three times faster thanjust a few years ago. If the ice sheets ofGreenland and Antarctica ever melt completely,sea levels will rise about 60 m. That's enoughto cover almost every major city on Earth!Global warming is a seriousthreat to wildlife. In particular,Arctic polar bears are in greatdanger. The ice that they hunt from ismelting very fast, so they have to swimfurther and further to find food. Manystarve or drown. By 2100, summer ice maydisappear completely in the Arctic, and polarbears probably won't survive. Changingweather patterns and rising sea levels threatenthousands of other species too. Some peoplebelieve that 30-40% of the world's species couldbecome extinct because of climate change.animals nbecome exWild wild weather!Heavy rain and snow, storms, heatwaves, droughtmore powerful hurricanes and tornadoes ... these alhappen a lot more frequently these days and moreand more climatologists now believe this is becauseof global warming. When sea temperatures rise,there are changes in the atmosphere. If you live ina chilly place, you might think global warmingsounds great. But climate change doesn't just meanhotter temperatures. It means more and moreextreme and unpredictable weather!3 Read again and mark the sentences T (true), F (false), or DS (doesn't say). 1 Most of the world's mountain glaciers will melt in the next 100 years. 2 It might not be possible to go on holiday to the Maldives in 2100.3. Ice in Greenland is melting more slowly than five years ago. o bist 4 Polar bears come from Greenland. 5 In a hundred years, polar bears may be extinct. 6 Warmer seas cause more extreme weather. ​

Answer 2

1. F (false) - The passage does not specifically mention whether most of the world's mountain glaciers will melt in the next 100 years. It only mentions that melting ice from the polar ice caps and mountain glaciers could cause sea levels to rise.
2. T (true) - The passage states that if sea levels rise by about 1 meter by 2100, whole countries such as the Maldives will vanish and people in low-lying areas like parts of Bangladesh will lose their homes.
3. DS (doesn't say) - The passage does not directly compare the current rate of ice melting in Greenland to the rate from five years ago.
4. F (false) - The passage does not state that polar bears come from Greenland. It only mentions that Arctic polar bears are in great danger due to the melting ice.
5. T (true) - The passage mentions that if summer ice disappears completely in the Arctic by 2100, polar bears probably won't survive.
6. T (true) - The passage states that global warming can lead to more extreme and unpredictable weather patterns.
