The world's oceans have warmed 50 percent faster over the last 40 years than previously thought due to
climate change, Australian and US climate researchers reported Wednesday. Higher ocean temperatures expand
the volume of water, contributing to a rise in sea levels that is submerging small island nations and threatening to
wreak havoc in low-lying, densely populated delta regions around the globe.
The study, published in the British journal Nature, adds to a growing scientific chorus of warnings about
the pace and consequences rising oceans. It also serves as a corrective to a massive report issued last year by the
Nobel-winning UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), according to the authors.

Rising sea levels are driven by two things: the thermal expansion of sea water, and additional water from
melting sources of ice. Both processes are caused by global warming. The ice sheet that sits atop Greenland, for
example, contains enough water to raise world ocean levels by seven metres (23 feet), which would bury sea-level
cities from Dhaka to Shanghai.
Trying to figure out how much each of these factors contributes to rising sea levels is critically important
to understanding climate change, and forecasting future temperature rises, scientists say. But up to now, there has
been a perplexing gap between the projections of computer-based climate models, and the observations of
scientists gathering data from the oceans.
The new study, led by Catia Domingues of the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research, is the
first to reconcile the models with observed data. Using new techniques to assess ocean temperatures to a depth of
700 metres (2,300 feet) from 1961 to 2003, it shows that thermal warming contributed to a 0.53 millimetre-peryear rise in sea levels rather than the 0.32 mm rise reported by the IPCC.
26. Ultimately, the new study should help scientists to ____.
A. lower water levels.
B. better predict climate change.
C. bury sea-level cities like Dhaka and Shanghai.
D. publish in the British journal Nature
27. The rise in water levels is especially dangerous for small island nations and ____.
A. low-lying urban areas.
B. all coastal cities.
C. people who live on the beach.
D. high-lying rural areas
28. What happens when the ocean's temperature rises?
A. It causes sea levels to rise.
B. It causes sea levels to remain constant.
C. It causes sea levels to decrease.
D. It makes sea levels decrease.
29. What was the main finding of the study?
A. not enough is being done about global warming.
B. ocean waters have warmed faster than scientists had previously thought.
C. the warming of the world's oceans is not a threat.
D. the projections of computer-based climate models
30. The new study ____.
A. shows that thermal warming contributed to a 0.32 millimeter-per-year rise in sea levels.
B. did not reveal anything that scientists didn't already know.
C. used new techniques to assess ocean temperatures. D. makes sea levels decrease.

When Malaysia takes the ASEAN chair next year, it will face a huge challenge. Too few of us know enough
about this grouping we call the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. We do not know what it means to be a
part of ASEAN and why it is important to us. At the same time, pressure is mounting to reinvent ASEAN to make
it more people-centric and less government-centric. The Heat speaks to Global Movement of Moderates CEO
Saifuddin Abdullah on why ASEAN should mean more to us than just acronyms.
ASEAN people do not feel like they are a part of the community of Southeast Asian nations. This statement,
backed up by survey findings, is pretty bizarre, and extremely hurtful too, considering that ASEAN is 47 years
old today. “Interview 10 persons on the street and you would perhaps get only one of them who knows about

ASEAN,” says Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah. This CEO of Global Movement of Moderates (GMM) is not running
down ASEAN; he's confronting the truth as it impacts the project he has been entrusted with. Here's more, in
2012, the ASEAN Secretariat conducted a survey that showed only 34% of Malaysians had heard of the ASEAN
community. This compares with 96% of Laotians. Malaysia chairs ASEAN next year, and GMM is a member of
the national steering committee organising the ASEAN People's Forum (APF), a platform designed to bridge the
gap between governments and civil society. Never heard of it? You're forgiven.
The APF actually started off life in the 1990s, except it was called the ASEAN People's Assembly (APA). It
was held back to back with the ASEAN Summit, which is held twice a year. The APA is the forum where 10
leaders of government engage with 10 leaders of civil society in a half-hour meeting. “It was going well until one
year when the chairman decided not to hold the APA, so it was discontinued until 2005 when Malaysia took the
chairmanship of ASEAN again and founded the ASEAN People's Forum (APF),” Saifuddin explains. In a perfect
world, forums such as the APF or its predecessor APA would have worked perfectly to bridge the gap between
government and civil society.
26. According to the passage, in 1990s, APF was called ____.
A. ASEAN People's Assembly
B. ASEAN People's Forum
C. Civil Society Organisations
D. Global Movement of Moderates

A. concluded    
B. introduced    
C. proved    
D. supported
29. According to the passage, Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah was CEO of ____.
A. APA    
B. APF    
C. CSOs    
D. GMM
30. Which of the following statements is NOT true about the APF according to the passage?
A. APF consists of 20 leaders.    
B. APF is held every two years.
C. APF is reorganised in 2005.    
D. APF lasts for 30 minutes.
