Why are people talking about it these days? ‘Extreme’ weather isan unusual weather event such as rainfall, a drought or a heat wave in the wrong place or at thewrong time. In theory, they are very rare. But these days, our TV screens are constantly showingsuch extreme weather events. Take just three news stories from 2010: 28 centimetres of rain fell onRiode Janeiro in 24 hours, Nashville, USA, had 33 centimetres of rain in two days and there wasrecord rainfall in Pakistan.The effects of this kind of rainfall are dramatic and lethal. In Rio de Janeiro, landslidesfollowed, burying hundreds of people. In Pakistan, the floods affected 20 million people. Meanwhile,other parts of the world suffer devastating droughts. Australia, Russia and East Africa have been hitin the last ten years. And then there are unexpected heat waves, such as in 2003 in Europe. Thatsummer, 35.000 deaths were said to be heat-related.So, what is happening to our weather? Are these extreme events part of a natural cycle? Orare they caused by human activity and its effects on the Earth’s climate? Peter Miller says it’sprobably a mixture of both of these things. On the one hand, the most important influences onweather events are natural cycles in the climate. Two of the most famous weather cycles, El Niño andLa Niña, originate in the Pacific Ocean. The heat from the warm ocean rises high into the atmosphereand affects weather all around the world. On the other hand, the temperature of the Earth’s oceans isslowly but steadily going up. And this is a result of human activity. We are producing greenhousegases that trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere. This heat warms up the atmosphere, land and oceans.Warmer oceans produce more water vapor - think of heating a pan of water in your kitchen. Turn upthe heat, it produces steam more quickly. Satellite data tells US that the water vapor in theatmosphere has gone up by four percent in 25 years. This warm, wet air turns into the rain, storms,hurricanes and typhoons that we are increasingly experiencing. Climate scientist, MichaelOppenheimer, says that we need to face the reality of climate change. And we also need to act now tosave lives and money in the future.71. It is stated in the passage that extreme weather is .........................A. becoming more common B. not a natural occurrenceC. difficult for scientists to understand D. killing more people than ever before 72. Which of these things is the basis of normal weather patterns?A. greenhouse gases B. human activity C. El Niño and La Niña D. water vapour73. What caused thousands of deaths in 2003?A. a period of hot weather B. floods after a bad summerC. a long spell of heavy rain D. large-scale landslides74. According to the passage, extreme weather is a problem because ...............................A.we can never predict it B. it only affects crowded placesC. it’s often very destructive D. its causes are completely unknown75. Which statement is NOT supported by the information in the passage?A. Extreme weather is substantially influenced by human activity.B. Unusual weather events are part of natural cycles.C. We can limit the bad effects of extreme weather.D. Such extreme weather is hardly the consequence of human activity.4SECTION FIVE: WRITINGPart 1: Finish each of the following sentences in such a way that it is as similar as possible inmeaning to the sentence printed before it.
