READING COMPREHENSION

More than 200 reindeer have died of starvation on the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, with
scientists blaming their deaths on climate change. The wild deer carcasses were found on the Arctic islands
this summer by researchers from the Norwegian Polar Institute (NPI), which said it had never logged so
many deaths at once in 40 years of monitoring the animals’ population level. “It’s scary to find so many dead
animals,” project leader Ashild Onvik Pedersen told state broadcaster NRK. “This is an example of how
climate change affects nature. It is just sad.”

Svalbard’s capital Longyearbyen, the northernmost town on earth, is thought to be warming quicker
than any other settlement on the planet, climate scientists warned earlier this year. The milder temperatures
in the region led to unusually heavy rainfall in December, leaving a thick layer of ice when the precipitation
froze. This meant the reindeer could not dig through the hardened tundra to reach the vegetation they graze
on in their usual pastures, the NPI said. Svalbard’s reindeer have been observed eating seaweed and kelp
when food is scarce, but these are less nutritious and cause them stomach problems.

A relatively high number of calves born last year increased the death toll, as the youngest and
weakest are often the first to die in harsh conditions. “Some of the mortality is natural because there were so
many calves last year. But the large number we see now is due to heavy rain, which is due to global
warming,” said Ms Onvik Pedersen.

A team of three scientists spent 10 weeks investigating the population of the Svalbard reindeer earlier
this year. Researchers warned the decline of reindeer would cause unwanted plant species, currently kept in
check by the animals’ grazing, to spread across Arctic ecosystems in Europe, Asia and North America.

Arctic reindeer and caribou populations have declined 56 per cent in the last two decades, a report by
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said last year. The report said food security was
partly to blame for falling herd numbers, while warmer summers could also put the animals at greater risk of
diseases spread by flies and parasites. The average temperature in Longyearbyen has risen by 3.7C since
1900, more than three times the global average increase of about 1C. In 2016, the entrance to the town’s
“Doomsday” seed vault – which stores specimens of almost all the world’s seeds – was flooded following
heavy rainfall.

D. Climate change – What are the reasons?

Question 25. The word “logged” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______________.

A. cut down B. damaged C. recorded D. discovered

Question 26. The following are true about capital Longyearbyen, EXCEPT ___________.

A. It is believed to be the most quickly warming settlement on earth.

B. People in Longyearbyen suffered unusually heavy rain at the end of the year.

C. It is the northernmost town on our planet.

D. The reindeer here couldn’t stand the low temperature when the precipitation froze.

Question 27. What does the word “these” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A. seaweed and kelp B. Svalbard’s reindeer

C. their usual pastures D. milder temperatures

Question 28. According to Ms Onvik Pedersen, why is the death rate of reindeer so high this year?

A. Because of the high number of calves born. B. Because of heavy rain.

C. Because of natural selection. D. Because of the shortage of vegetation.

Question 29. Which statement is TRUE according to the last paragraphs?

A. After over 2 months investigated, reindeer populations were reported to decrease because of the
increase of unwanted plant species.

B. Nearly a half of reindeer populations have reduced in the last two decades.

It is a common misconception that greenhouse gases only have detrimental effects on the Earth and our
world would be a much better place without them. In actual fact, they play an indispensable role in our
ecology. The Earth’s most abundant greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, CFCs and
water vapour, all of which can be found near the Earth surface. They absorb radiation, heating up the
atmosphere. For example, carbon dioxide and water vapour take in infrared radiations coming to the earth.
At the same time, they partly reflect these infrared radiations back to the earth’s surface. The process of
radiation absorption maintains the temperature of the Earth in a way that makes the green planet habitable
for mankind. Without these greenhouse gases and their service, the Earth’s temperature would fall drastically
and become uninhabitable.

Question 30. What is the purpose of the text?

A. To inform ways to conserve the earth
B. To deal with a mistaken belief regarding greenhouse gases
C. To emphasise the damaging effects of greenhouse gases
D. To define and categorise greenhouse effects

Question 31. Radiation absorption makes the earth _______ enough for habitation.
A. cold B. hot C. stuffy D. warm

Question 32. Near the surface of the Earth are _______ types of greenhouse gases.
A. 4 B. 5 C. 6 D. 7

Question 33. The word “drastically” is closest in meaning to _______.

A. gradually B. moderately C. slightly D. considerably

Attracting users to social networking sites and cloud computing sites is all about building trust. However, if
recent news is anything to go by, consumers would be right to consider that the trust they have put into the
Internet companies that run these services has been betrayed.

Between 2006 and the beginning of 2010, search engine giant Google started a project to map and
digitally photograph every road in every major city in more than 30 countries for its product Google Street
View. But images, it appears, is not all that the Streetview cars collected. It now turns out that Google
collected over six hundred Gigabytes of data from users of public and unprotected Wi-Fi access routers -
which included Web pages visited and emails. All this was collected without the prior knowledge or
permission of the router owners.

But most criticism surrounding data privacy is currently reserved for Facebook, which has faced an

9
extreme anger from consumers when millions of users suddenly found their private details exposed and
searchable on Google, Bing and Yahoo. Facebook, whose privacy policies have come under attack both at
home and abroad, now faces a stiff fine for storing non-users' personal data without their permission.
Founder Mark Zuckerberg appears to be relenting and is now beefing up security.

The issue came to the fore in recent months among concern that Facebook's confusing privacy
settings were making it possible for Internet stalkers, cyber criminals and even nosy neighbours to gain a
wealth of information about its users without their knowledge or permission.

What all these companies deal in is trust. Without trust, we would not allow them access to our
private information. Therefore, it's important that they maintain our trust. If social networking becomes
increasingly important to companies such as Google, Apple and Microsoft, they will have to be careful not
to violate their users' trust in the future.

A. Mark Zuckerberg seems not to take any measure to tighten Facebook's security.

B. Google collected not only images of roads but also data of webpages visited and emails.

C. Google collected data from users of public without their permission.
