 8. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer 
 to each of the questions. 
The costs and benefits of global warming will vary greatly from area to area. For moderate climate 
change, the balance can be difficult to assess. But the larger the change in climate, the more negative the 
consequences will become. Global warming will probably make life harder, not easier, for most people 
This is mainly because we have already built enormous infrastructure based on the climate we now 
have. 
People in some temperate zones may benefit from milder winters, more abundant rainfall, and 
expanding crop production zones. But people in other areas will suffer from increased heat waves, 
coastal erosion, rising sea le more erratic rainfall, and droughts. 
The crops, natural vegetation, and domesticated and wild animals (including seafood) that sustain 
people in a given area may be unable to adapt to local or regional changes in climate. The ranges of 
diseases and insect pests that are limited by temperature may expand, if other environmental conditions 
are also favourable. 
In its summary report on the impacts of climate change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 
stated, "Taken as a whole, the range of published evidence indicates that the net damage costs of climate 
change are likely to be significant and to increase over time.”
