Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 18 to 27.
[I] Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of our time, affecting ecosystems, biodiversity, and human communities across the globe. [II] Scientists warn that unless greenhouse gas emissions are significantly reduced, the Earth's climate may experience irreversible damage. [III] The consequences of climate change are widespread, impacting weather patterns, agricultural productivity, and health conditions worldwide. [IV]
One of the primary causes of climate change is the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and gas, which releases large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. This gas traps heat, leading to a rise in global temperatures, a phenomenon known as global warming. Another major contributor is deforestation, as trees play a critical role in absorbing CO2. When forests are destroyed, that CO2 is released, adding to the atmosphere's greenhouse effect.
The impacts of climate change are already evident in various forms. Rising sea levels are causing coastal erosion and increasing the frequency of flooding, which endangers millions living in low-lying areas. Additionally, extreme weather events like hurricanes, droughts, and heatwaves are becoming more common and severe. These events not only damage infrastructure but also pose serious risks to human health and food security.
Addressing climate change requires a collaborative, global response. Many governments have joined international agreements, like the Paris Agreement, aiming to limit global temperature rise and reduce emissions. However, it is crucial for individuals and businesses to also play a part by reducing their carbon footprint through actions such as conserving energy, reducing waste, and supporting renewable energy sources.

This farming method focuses on enhancing soil health and promoting biodiversity, (28) ____________. When farmers eliminate their reliance on chemical fertilizers, they can help the soil take in more carbon, which is crucial for mitigating the adverse effects of climate change.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 33 to 40.
In the scorching heat of Mandalay, hundreds of patients – from infants to the elderly and Buddhist monks – are lying on hospital beds in an outdoor car park. Three days after a catastrophic earthquake hit Myanmar, the people in the city are very worried and waiting for more shaking.
Despite having approximately 1,000 beds, Mandalay General Hospital has relocated most patients outside following the devastating earthquake that claimed over 2,000 lives across Myanmar and Thailand. The 7.7-magnitude tremor on March 28, accompanied by numerous aftershocks, has forced authorities to keep patients outdoors to prevent potential injuries from collapsing structures. The situation is far from ideal for anyone here at the hospital. "We're doing everything possible under these circumstances," an anonymous medical worker explained to AFP.
With temperatures reaching 39 degrees Celsius, patients found shelter beneath makeshift tarpaulin covers erected to protect them from the intense sun. Family members held their relatives' hands, offering reassurance, while others used bamboo fans to provide relief. Young children with injuries cried in the uncomfortable environment, and a wounded monk lay connected to an intravenous drip.
Medical staff are equally affected by the crisis. During brief breaks from their grueling work schedules, healthcare workers sat on the ground, attempting to regain their strength. While the hospital structure appeared intact, only critical care patients and their attending physicians stayed indoors. Everyone else crowded together under the tarpaulin or found shelter in a nearby area with a metal roof.
The word “scorching” in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by ____________.
cool
boiling
freezing
mild

The word “them” in paragraph 3 refers to ____________.
tarpaulin covers
patients
family members
temperatures
The word “grueling” in paragraph 4 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ____________.
effortless
exhausting
tiring
demanding
In paragraph 4, which group of people is NOT mentioned as being present at the hospital during the crisis?
medical staff
critical care patients
family members
attending physicians
According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
The hospital's 1,000-bed capacity was adequate to accommodate all patients indoors during the crisis.
Authorities moved patients outside primarily because of the extreme heat reaching 39 degrees Celsius.
The hospital building suffered severe structural damage requiring complete evacuation of the facility.
The 7.7-magnitude earthquake on March 28 killed over 2,000 people in Myanmar and Thailand.

Paragraph 4
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 3
