Câu hỏi: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, Cor D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the number blanks.
For many years, scientists have been arguing about global warming. While they don't all agree about what this might mean for Planet Earth, many think it is going on — and that we can do something about it. We need a few more years to gather facts before anyone can say for sure. But people need to start now to do things to stop it.
There are many types of gases in our atmosphere. Some of them absorb the heat from the sun and control our climate. "Greenhouse gases" are those that hold the heat around the planet's surface. When we increase the level of these gases, we upset the balance. These extra gases trap even more heat.
Some scientists say global warming has already started to change the environment. The Earth's temperature has risen one degree Fahrenheit this century. Many scientists believe it could rise from two to eight degrees Fahrenheit in the next hundred years. This would be the fastest rise in 10,000 years.
Sea levels could rise. Ice sheets could melt and add to the water level. Many places near the coast would be in danger of flooding. If the climate change is too large and too fast, some plants and animals could really suffer. They could even die out. Weather could become more violent and extreme. In some places there would be more forest fires. But in other areas there would be more rain and snow, storms and floods.
A. Scientists have all agreed about global warming.
B. Scientists say that global warming can never change the environment.
C. The gases we increase trap even more heat.
D. Climate change would cause forest fires everywhere.

Giải thích:
Điều gì sau đây là ĐÚNG theo đoạn văn?
A. Các nhà khoa học đều đồng ý về sự nóng lên toàn cầu.
B. Các nhà khoa học nói rằng sự nóng lên toàn cầu không bao giờ có thể thay đổi môi trường.
C. Các chất khí càng tăng càng hấp thụ nhiều nhiệt.
D. Biến đổi khí hậu sẽ gây cháy rừng khắp nơi.
Thông tin:
+ For many years, scientists have been arguing about global warming.
(Trong nhiều năm, các nhà khoa học đã tranh luận về sự nóng lên toàn cầu.)
A sai
+ Some scientists say global warming has already started to change the environment.
(Một số nhà khoa học nói rằng sự nóng lên toàn cầu đã bắt đầu thay đổi môi trường.)
B sai
+ In some places there would be more forest fires. (Ở một số nơi sẽ có nhiều vụ cháy rừng hơn.)
D sai
+ When we increase the level of these gases, we upset the balance. These extra gases trap even more heat.
(Khi chúng ta tăng mức độ của những khí này, chúng ta sẽ làm đảo lộn sự cân bằng. Những khí thừa này thậm chí còn giữ nhiệt nhiều hơn.)
C đúng
