(Module 18)

Reading
G. Read the text and choose the correct answer for questions 37-41.
One of the worst storms ever to hit the United States was Hurricane Katrina in
August 2005. The storm flooded 80% of the city of New Orleans. The tsunami in
the Indian ocean in December 2004 was also a huge disaster that killed 230,000
people. But the reasons for terrible weather conditions have lead to a lot of
disagreement between scientists and meteorologists around the world.
Some experts say that in the past 100 years there havent been any real major
changes in the weather. They say that harsh weather is something that occurs
naturally, in cycles, and that it isnt getting any worse. The reason that people
think it is getting worse is due to the fact that, nowadays, there is more
information on weather events around the world in newspapers, on the radio and
on television.
There are, however, scientists who believe that global warming is affecting the
climate. They believe that greenhouse gases are responsible for making the Earth
warmer. Some of these gases are caused by people and businesses polluting the
environment.
Which theory do you agree with? The truth is, with more research and discussion
into the reasons for harsh weather conditions, the brighter the worlds future will
be.
e.g. The text is mainly about
A one of the worst storms in history.
B global warming.
C the reasons for terrible weather.
D disasters.

39 According to some scientists, in the past

100 years
A there are more cycles.
B there have been more tsunamis.
C people have been watching too much

37 Because of Hurricane Katrina

A most of New Orleans was covered in water.
B New Orleans was hit by a tsunami.
C New Orleans lost 80% of its water.
D 230,000 people were killed.

40 One reason for the harsh weather could be

because
A there is more information about people.
B we see and hear more about the weather.
C more people travel around the world.
D we dont read enough newspapers.

38 Experts around the world

A agree on the reasons for bad weather.
B do not agree about the reasons for bad
weather.
C are meteorologists.
D are changing the weather.
