Part 4: Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question. (2 points/ ea)
 WARNING ON GLOBAL WARMING
 Global warming could cause drought and possibly famine in China the source of much of Hong
Kong's food, by 2050, a new report predicts. Hong Kong could also be at risk from flooding as sea levels
rose The report recommends building sea-walls around low-lying areas such as the new port and airport
reclamations. Published by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), the report, which includes work by
members of the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, uses the most recent projections on
climate change to point to a gloomy outlook for China.
 By 2050 about 30 to 40 per cent of the country will experience changes in the type of vegetation it
supports, (1_with tropical and sub-tropical forest conditions shifting northward and hot desert conditions
rising in the west where currently the desert is temperate. Crop-growing areas will expand but any benefit
is expected to be negated by increased evaporation of moisture), making it too dry to grow crops such as
rice. The growing season also is expected to alter, becoming shorter in southern and central China, the
mainland's breadbasket. The rapid changes make it unlikely that plants could adapt.
 "China will produce smaller crops. In the central and northern areas, and the southern part, there
will be decreased production because of water limitations," Dr. Rik Leemans, one of the authors of the
report, said during a brief visit to the territory yesterday. Famine could result because of the demands of
feeding the population - particularly if it grows - and the diminished productivity of the land. "It looks
very difficult for the world as a whole," he said.
 Global warming is caused by the burning of large amounts of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil,
which release gases that trap heat in the atmosphere. World temperatures already have increased this
century by about 0.6 degrees Celsius and are projected to rise by between 1.6 degrees and 3.8 degrees by
2100.
 Dr. Leemans said China's reliance on coal-fired power for its indus-trial growth did not bode well
for the world climate. "I think the political and economic powers in China are much greater than the
environ-mental powers, and [greenhouse gas emissions] could accelerate," Dr-Leemans said. "China is
not taking the problem seriously yet, although it is trying to incorporate this kind of research to see what
is going to happen."
 The climate change report, which will be released tomorrow, focused on China but Mr David
Melville of WWF-Hong Kong said some of the depressing scenarios could apply to the territory. Food
supplies, for instance, could be affected by lower crop yields. "Maybe we could afford to import food
from elsewhere but you have to keep in mind that the type of changes experienced in southern China will
take place elsewhere as well," he said. Sea levels could rise as glaciers melted and the higher
temperatures expanded the size of the oceans, threatening much of developed Hong Kong which is built
on reclaimed land. Current projections are that sea levels worldwide will rise by 15 to 90 centimetres by
2100, depending on whether action is taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
 "Hong Kong has substantial areas built on reclaimed land and sea level rises could impact on that,
not only on Chek Lap Kok but the West Kowloon Reclamation and the Central and Western Reclamation
 De-Thi.com Tổng hợp đề thi HSG Lớp 10 môn Tiếng Anh cấp Trường (Đáp án đầy đủ) - De-Thi.com
– the whole lot," Mr Melville said, adding that sea-walls would be needed. depleted fresh water supplies
would be another problem because increased evaporation would reduce levels. Mr Melville said the
general outlook could be helped if Hong Kong used water less wastefully and encouraged energy
efficiency to reduce fuel-burning. He also called on the West to help China improve its efficiency.
