Understanding Passages Listening Task 1 Directions: Listen to the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions you hear. There are many stories about global warming. You cannot pick up a newspaper or watch TV without hearing about it. There are different opinions on it. A small number of people think that global warming is not real. They say that the earth’s climate has been changing for as long as anyone can remember. Why worry about the changes that are happening today? Most people, on the other hand, take the problem very seriously indeed. Scientists have shown that for the past twenty years the temperature of the earth has been increasing by ℃ every year.

Understanding Basic Skills Directions: Listen to the passage and fill in the blanks with the exact words, phrases or sentences you hear. All big cities are quite similar. Living in a modern Asian city is not very different from living in an American city. The same cannot be said about living on farms, however. In many parts of the world, farmers and their families live in villages or towns. In the United States, however, each farm family lives on its own fields, often beyond the sight of any neighbors. Instead of traveling from a village to the fields every morning, American farmers stay on their land throughout the week. They travel to the nearest town on Saturdays for shopping or on Sundays for church. The children ride on buses to large schools which serve all of the farm families living in the area. In some areas, there are small schools serving a few farm families, and the children walk to school. Of course life keeps changing for everyone, including farmers. Today there are cars, good roads, radios and television sets. And of course there are modern machines for farming. All of these have changed farm life.
