Câu hỏi: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on the answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Experts in climatology and other scientists are becoming extremely concerned about the changes to our climate which are taking place. Admittedly, climate changes have occurred on our planet before. For example, there have been several ice ages or glacial periods.
These climatic changes, however, were different from the modern ones in that they occurred gradually and, as far as we know, naturally. The changes currently being monitored are said to be the result not of natural causes, but of human activity. Furthermore, the rate of change is becoming alarmingly rapid.
The major problem is that the planet appears to be warming up. According to some experts, this warming process, known as global warming, is occurring at a rate unprecedented in the last 10,000 years. The implications for the planet are very serious. Rising global temperatures could give rise to such ecological disasters as extremely high increases in the incidence of flooding and droughts. These in turn could have a harmful effect on agriculture.
It is thought that this unusual warming of the Earth has been caused by so-called greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, being emitted into the atmosphere by car engines and modern industrial processes, for example. Such gases not only add to the pollution of the atmosphere, but also create a greenhouse effect, by which the heat of the sun is trapped. This leads to the warming up of the planet.
Politicians are also concerned about climate change and there are now regular summits on the subject, attended by representatives from around 180 of the world's industrialized countries. Of these summits, the most important took place in Kyoto in Japan in 1997. There it was agreed that the most industrialized countries would try to reduce the volume of greenhouse gas emissions and were given targets for this reduction of emissions.
It was also suggested that more forests should be planted to create so-called sinks to absorb greenhouse gases. At least part of the problem of rapid climate change has been caused by too drastic deforestation.
Sadly, the targets are not being met. Even more sadly, global warnings about climate changes are often still being regarded as scaremongering.
Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
A. The problem of rapid climate change has been caused mainly by deforestation.
B. The so-called sinks created by forests can absorb greenhouse gases.
C. Carbon dioxide is one of the gases that may cause the so-called greenhouse effect.
D. Politicians are among those who are concerned about climate change.

Điều nào sau đây là không đúng, theo đoạn văn?
A. Vấn đề biến đổi khí hậu nhanh chóng đã bị gây ra chủ yếu bởi nạn phá rừng.
B. Cái được gọi là bồn kiến tạo bởi rừng có thể hấp thụ khí nhà kính.
C. Cacbon dioxit là một trong những khí ga có thể gây ra cái gọi là hiệu ứng nhà kính.
D. Các chính trị gia là một trong những người quan ngại về biến đổi khí hậu.
Thông tin:
+ It was also suggested that more forests should be planted to create so-called sinks to absorb greenhouse gases. (Mọi người cũng đề xuất rằng nên trồng nhiều rừng hơn để tạo ra cái gọi là bồn hấp thụ khí nhà kính.)
→ B đúng

Such gases not only add to the pollution of the atmosphere, but also create a greenhouse effect, by which the heat of the sun is trapped. (Người ta cho rằng sự nóng ấm bất thường của Trái Đất chính do thứ được gọi là khí nhà kính, như cacbon dioxit, được thải ra khí quyển, ví dụ như qua các động cơ ô tô và quá trình công nghiệp hiện đại. Các khí ga này không chỉ làm ô nhiễm khí quyển hơn, mà còn gây hiệu ứng nhà kính, khiến sức nóng của mặt trời bị giữ lại.)
→ C đúng
+ Politicians are also concerned about climate change and there are now regular summits on the subject, attended by representatives from around 180 of the world's industrialized countries. (Các chính trị gia cũng lo ngại về biến đổi khí hậu và hiện nay có những hội nghị thượng đỉnh thường xuyên về vấn đề này, với sự tham dự của các đại diện từ khoảng 180 quốc gia công nghiệp trên thế giới.)
→ D đúng
+ At least part of the problem of rapid climate change has been caused by too drastic deforestation. (Ít nhất thì một phần vấn đề biến đổi khí hậu nhanh chóng đã bị gây ra bởi nạn phá rừng quá nghiêm trọng.)
