V. Review the text below and select the most suitable answers to the questions.
In numerous ways, the accelerating rate of climate change can be traced back to the surge in the human population. Over the past century, the global population has increased more than threefold. Consequently, this has necessitated a threefold increase in the production of food, energy, and other essential resources.
Moreover, individuals today consume more energy and natural resources compared to people a hundred years ago, which means that the actual rates of utilization are significantly higher than what the mere increase in population might suggest.
Every activity involved in food production, energy consumption, and natural resource utilization impacts climate change in various ways. Burning larger quantities of oil and other fuels for energy releases pollutants that contribute to global warming. To increase food production, farmers clear forests to expand their fields. Additionally, we cut down trees to construct the homes needed for a growing population. These trees play a crucial role in mitigating global warming.
Besides a growing population, there is also a rising demand for a better quality of life, which in turn requires even more natural resources. For instance, China, with its 1.3 billion people, is the most populous country. Currently, the standard of living for most Chinese citizens is much lower compared to those in developed nations. Thus, the average Chinese individual uses significantly fewer resources and less energy than someone from the US or Japan. If every Chinese person were to achieve a first-world standard of living, the global demand for energy and resources would double, even if all other countries maintained their current standards.
Question 19: The term “rate” in the passage is most similar in meaning to _____
A. expansion
B. velocity
C. issue
D. contamination
Question 20: The term “utilization” in the text is most closely synonymous with _____.
A. application
B. utilization
C. population
D. growth
Question 21: According to the passage, what role does food production play in global warming?
A. Food production necessitates deforestation for agricultural expansion.
B. Food production involves many pollutants that contribute to global warming.
C. Increased food production results in a rise in the global population.
D. Food production impairs the air's capacity to release heat.
Question 22: According to the passage, in what way does the standard of living impact global warming?
A. Better standards of living benefit the environment.
B. Developed countries have lower population growth compared to developing countries.
C. The level of resource consumption correlates directly with the standard of living.
D. High living standards lead to an increase in global population.
Question 23: What is the purpose of mentioning China, Japan, and the United States in the passage?
A. To compare the living conditions of their citizens.
B. To illustrate why China may not achieve first world status.
C. To highlight the anticipated increase in global energy consumption.
D. To demonstrate the impact of rising living standards.

It’s a common misconception that only animals are at risk of extinction. Many people believe that wild plants will simply recover after being damaged. This belief is mistaken. Plants are disappearing at an alarming rate, including some of the most stunning and useful species on the planet. The role of plants in sustaining life on Earth is vast. Our landscapes, wildlife, food, and even the air we breathe are all linked to plant life.
Plants are crucial for wildlife. According to the U.S. Forest Service, the extinction of a single plant species can lead to the decline of up to 30 other species, including plants, insects, and animals. Plants offer essential food and habitat for these species.
Plants contribute to a healthy environment. They ensure clean air, stabilize soil, purify water, reduce wind and water erosion, and provide shade.
Plants benefit humans in many ways. They supply us with food, fiber, and energy. Some plants have medicinal properties that help treat illnesses, while others combat agricultural pests and enhance crop quality.
This is a genuine emergency. The destruction of habitats, excessive harvesting, and other forms of environmental damage are gradually dismantling our native plant ecosystems. Some species have dwindled to such critical levels that a single storm or an aggressive collector could annihilate them in moments. Without immediate action, these species may vanish permanently.
Question 19: Plants_______________.
A. cannot provide shade to the earth
B. are capable of stopping erosion
C. do not offer habitats for wildlife
D. do not have chemical substances

A. Plants are crucial for sustaining life on Earth
B. Our plant populations are growing
C. Plants do not have a crucial role in sustaining life on Earth
D. Wild plants can quickly recover from damage

A. avoid interfering with plant extinction
B. destroy plants as much as possible

A. Plant life is connected to the landscape, wildlife, food, and air
B. Plants have no impact on the environment
C. Plants do not affect wildlife
D. Plants only offer food to wildlife
Question 23: The ___________ of food, fiber, fuels, and medicines that plants provide us.
A. benefits B. extinction
