Social networking websites are growing and changing all the time. Although younger users might not
stay with one site for long, they still enjoy the concept, and a lot of their daily communication with friends
takes place on social media sites. They post photos, exchange news, post where they are having coffee with
their friends, and share their favourite music and videos. It's enjoyable, and it makes people feel good.
Hanna Krasnova, an author of a study on social networking from Berlin's Humboldt University says,
'We were surprised by how many people have a negative experience from social networking, with envy
leaving them feeling lonely, frustrated or angry.' Envy of others' perfect lives isn't the only negative aspect.
Bullying, other people sharing your deepest secrets, and general embarrassment at seeing the worst photo
ever of yourself posted for all the world to see, can all be negative side effects of using social media. There
is also the issue of online addiction, which leaves many people unable to switch off their devices for more
than a few minutes without suffering from intense anxiety.
What can you do to make sure social media remains a positive experience? Probably the most important
thing is not to spend too much time on your digital life. Another point to keep in mind is that your friends on
social media should be real friends, not just acquaintances. You should only 'friend' people you respect and
get on well with. In the end, just like in real life, the number of friends you have doesn't matter. It's the
quality of the people close to you - even on social media - that is really important.
(Adapted from Oxford Exam Trainer by Gregory Manin)

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 from 44 to 50.
Most scientists agree that global warming presents the greatest threat to the environment. There is little
doubt that the Earth is getting warmer. In the last century the average temperature rose about 0.6 degrees C
around the world. Many experts warn that global warming will cause sea levels to rise dramatically. In the
past 100 years the oceans have risen 10 to 20 cms - but that's nothing compared to what would happen if, for
example, Greenland's massive ice sheet were to melt.
Just as the evidence is clear that temperatures have risen in the last century, it's also well established that
carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere has increased about 30 percent, allowing the atmosphere to trap too
much heat. However, the exact link, if any, between the increase in carbon dioxide emissions and the higher
temperatures is still being disputed. Most scientists believe that humans, by burning fossil fuels such as coal
and petroleum, are largely to blame for the increase in carbon dioxide. But some scientists also point to
natural causes, such as volcanic activity.
The current rate of warming is faster than ever before, however, which suggests it probably is not a
natural occurrence. And a large number of scientists believe the rise in temperatures will, in fact, speed up.
A recent study suggested that Greenland's ice sheet will begin to melt if the temperature there rises by three
degrees C. That is something many scientists think is likely to happen in another hundred years. The
complete melting of the Greenland ice cap would raise sea levels by seven metres. Even a partial melting
would cause a one-metre rise. Such a rise would have a devastating impact on low-lying islands, such as the
Maldives, which would be entirely submerged.
Other scientists emphasise that such doomsday scenarios may be hundreds of years in the future. 'You
can't say with any certainty that sea-level rises are going to have a huge impact on society,' says Stouffer.
'Who knows what the planet will look like 5000 years from now?' Most climate scientists, however, agree
that global warming is a threat that has gone unchecked for too long. 'Is society aware of the seriousness of
climate warming? I don't think so,' says Marianne Douglas, professor of geology at the University of
Toronto. 'Otherwise we'd all be leading our lives differently. We'd see a society that used alternative sources
of energy, with less dependence on fossil fuels.'
(Adapted from Objective for IELTS by Michael Black and Wendy Sharp)
Question 44. Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. The Paradox of Climate Change B. Global Rising Temperature: What Can We Do?
C. A Disaster in the Making D. A Society with Less Reliance on Fossil Fuels

A. It has been exacerbated by human activities.
B. It can lead to a considerable rise in sea levels.
C. It is the indirect cause of global ice melting.
D. It poses a real threat to the lives of humans.
Question 46. The word disputed in paragraph 2 mostly means ______.
A. thorough B. complicated C. disagreed D. supported
Question 47. The word it in paragraph 3 refers to ______ .
A. warming B. rate C. occurrence D. activity
Question 48. The word devastating in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______ .
A. unimportant B. disastrous C. gradual D. temporary
Question 49. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Scientists are at loggerheads with each other over the causes of global warming.
B. If Greenland’s ice sheet melted, it would cause an unprecedented rise in sea level.
C. The Maldives could be completely displaced if sea level rose by one meter.
D. It remains to be seen whether carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere has increased.
Question 50. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. People nowadays are still heavily dependent on non-renewable energy sources.
B. Stouffer and Marianne Douglas share the idea that global warming is unpredictable.
C. The disappearance of coastal cities can be the worst-case scenario of global warming.
D. Humans are increasingly aware of the serious consequences of climate warming.
