Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Кузовлев 10-11 класс, Просвещение: 2. READING COMPREHENSION Read an article from the Newsweek magazine. 1) Decide which title A, B, or C is the best title for the article. A Climate Change in the USA in the 21st Century в The 100-Year Forecast: Very Hot C Global Warming: Problems or Benefits? If you want to know what the weather’s going to be like this weekend, ask a weatherman. If you want to know what it’ll be like in 100 years, ask a scientist. The most important influence on the weather of the future is likely to be global warming. Global warming may or may not be the great environmental crisis of the next century. Here’s what we know about global warming. Since the Industrial Age (say, 1800), the concentration of the so-called ‘greenhouse gases’ — carbon dioxide, methane and others — in the atmosphere has risen (подниматься) about 30 per cent. In the past century, temperatures have increased (увеличиваться) 1 degree Fahrenheit. One opinion is that these tendencies are connected. Industrial and transportation emissions (выделение) increased carbon dioxide, trapping (задерживать) more heat in the atmosphere and raising temperatures. Another opinion is that the small temperature rise is a natural climatic variation. The next hundred years, most scientists agree, will see the earth heat up further. How much further is open to debate: in 1995 hundreds of scientists from around the world predicted a rise of anywhere between 1.8 and 6.3 degrees by 2100. But some regions will warm much Iess and others, especially of northern continents, will warm much more. The USA is facing a temperature rise of 5 to 10 degrees. But, really, it’s anybody’s guess and the answer may be everybody’s problem. We don’t know what the effects of warming might be. Warmer weather might make some areas more attractive and others less. Because what will happen to the world is still uncertain, what will happen to a particular region is even more uncertain. We don’t know how to prevent (предотвращать) warming. Stabilizing emissions isn’t enough. No one knows how to lower emissions without crushing the world economy. Based on present knowledge, the best way of coping (справляться) with warming — if it happens — would be to adapt to it. 2) For statements 1-6, decide which of them are TRUE and which are FALSE. Tick (/) the necessary box. 1. We know more about global warming than we don’t. 2. Because the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has risen, temperatures have increased. 3. The scientists are sure of how much the temperature will rise in the next century. 4. By 2100 northern regions will warm less than other regions. 5. Stabilizing emissions can prevent global warming. 6. Global warming will crush the world economy. *Цитирирование части задания со ссылкой на учебник производится исключительно в учебных целях для лучшего понимания разбора решения задания.

1. B. The 100-Year Forecast: Very Hot

2. True or False:

1. False — we know only some facts about global warming, but many things are still uncertain.
2. True — the text says that the rise in greenhouse gases is connected with the increase in temperatures.
3. False — the scientists are not sure how much the temperature will rise; different predictions are given.
4. False — northern regions will warm much more, not less.
5. False — stabilizing emissions is not enough to prevent global warming.
6. False — the text says that no one knows how to lower emissions without crushing the world economy.
