Passage Reading and English Comprehension
(a) Why are projections of the effects of changes in water vapor levels on the climate so inaccurate? | |
(b) What are the steps in the process that takes place as CO | |
(c) How might our understanding of the greenhouse effect be improved if the burning of fossil fuels were decreased? | |
(d) What might cause a series of regular increases and decreases in the amount of CO |
237. The author is primarily concerned with
(a) explaining the effects that the burning of fossil fuels might have on climate | |
(b) illustrating the effects of CO | |
(c) discussing effects that changes in the CO | |
(d) challenging hypotheses about the effects of water vapor and CO |
238. The passage suggests that a large decrease in the amount of CO
(a) at least a slight decrease in global temperatures | |
(b) at the most a slight increase in short-wavelength radiation reaching the Earth | |
(c) a slight long-term increase in global temperatures | |
(d) a large long-term increase in the amount of volcanic activity |
239. The author refers to Venus primarily in order to
(a) show the inherent weakness of the greenhouse effect theory | |
(b) show that the greenhouse effect works on other planets but not on Earth | |
(c) ) support the argument that the CO | |
(d) support the contention that as water vapor increase, the amount of CO |
240. The passage suggests that if there were a slight global warming at the present time, it would be
(a) easy to measure the exact increase in temperature because of the abundance of temperature recording stations throughout the world | |
(b) difficult to measure the increase of CO | |
(c) easy to demonstrate the effects of the warming on the water vapor in the atmosphere | |
(d) difficult to prove that the warming was caused by the burning of fossil fuels |
241. The discussion of climate in the passage suggests which of the following conclusion?
I. Climate is not perfectly stable, and slight regional temperature variations can be considered a normal feature of the environment.
II. We are unable at present to measure global temperature changes precisely.
III. The most important cause of regional climatic fluctuations is the change in CO
(a) I only | |
(b) III only | |
(c) I and II only | |
(d) II and III only |
242. All of the following can be found in the author’s discussion of climate EXCEPT
(a) a statement about the effects of increased volcanic activity on the Earth’s temperatures | |
(b) an indication of the effect of an increase in water vapor in the atmosphere | |
(c) a contrast between two theories about the effects of a lowering of CO | |
(d) a generalization about the efficiency of meteorological recording stations |
