   Glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, cloud forests are dying, and wildlife is scrambling to keep pace.It has become clear that humans have caused most of the past century's warming by releasing heat-trapping gases as we power our modern lives. Called greenhouse gases, their levels are higher now than at any time in the last 800,000 years.

   The "greenhouse effect" is the warming that happens when certain gases in Earth's atmosphere trap heat. These gases let in light but keep heat from escaping, like the glass walls of a greenhouse, hence the name. Sunlight shines onto the Earth's surface, where the energy is absorbed and then radiate back into the atmosphere as heat. In the atmosphere, greenhouse gas molecules trap some of the heat, and the rest escapes into space. The more greenhouse gases concentrate in the atmosphere, the more heat gets locked up in the molecules.

   Human activity isn't the only factor that affects Earth's climate. Volcanic eruptions and variations in solar radiation from sunspots, solar wind, and the Earth's position relative to the sun also play a role. So do large-scale weather patterns such as El Nino. But climate models that scientists use to monitor Earth’s temperatures take those factors into account. Changes in solar radiation levels as well as minute particles suspended in the atmosphere from volcanic eruptions, for example, have contributed only about two percent to the recent warming effect. The balance comes from greenhouse gases and other human-caused factors, such as land use change.

   For thousands of years now, emissions of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere have been balanced out by greenhouse gases that are naturally absorbed. As a result, greenhouse gas concentrations and temperatures have been fairly stable, which has allowed human civilization to flourish within a consistent climate. Now, humans have increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by more than a third since the Industrial Revolution. Changes that have historically taken thousands of years are now happening over the course of decades. The rapid rise in greenhouse gases is a problem because it is changing the climate faster than some living things can adapt to. Also, a new and more unpredictable climate will pose unique challenges to all life.

 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

What does the passage mainly discuss?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

   Ludwig van Beethoven; one of the most popular classical composers of all time, is sometimes known as “the Shakespear of music”. He was born in Bonne in 1770, and published his first work at the age of thirteen. Mozart was his teacher for a short time, although they did not get on very well together; Beethoven was a difficult student.

   As a composer, Beethoven was a genius - but as a person, he was not very easy to like. He was a passionate man who lost his temper very easily. He was also arrogant. The upper classes of Vienna used to invite him to parties, where he was often quite rude. He was once heard to say to a prince: “There will always be many princes, but there is only one Beethoven”.

   Nevertheless, Beethoven composed some the most beautiful symphonies the world has ever heard. How was such an arrogant, bad-tempered man inspired to write such romantic music? Perhaps the answer lies in the three letters that were found after his death. They were addressed to his “Immortal Beloved”. Nobody knows who this woman was, but it appears that Beethoven was deeply in love with her for most of his adult life.
