Reading comprehension 1: Read the following passage and choose A, B, C or D to answer each question from 636 to 640.

Perhaps nowhere on Earth are the impacts of global warming more evident than in the Arctic. Covered in ice, this region is the first to feel the effects of an impending environmental catastrophe as greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, causing temperatures to rise and glaciers to melt.

The massive ice sheets are home to polar bears, who hunt on the edges of the glaciers. They eat mainly seals, who swim in the icy water beneath and are caught when they surface through holes in the ice to breathe. In a normal summer, as temperatures rise, the glaciers retreat to the north, but the polar bears do not follow them. Instead, they leave the glaciers for the shore where temperatures are warmer and seals are plentiful. They have to swim to make this journey, and as the glaciers retreat further and further, the polar bears’ voyage from glacier to land becomes longer. Although they are strong swimmers, the increasing distance has resulted in polar bears drowning as they try to swim ashore for the summer months.

Not only are polar bears drowning, they are also having trouble hunting because the thin ice is more prone to deformation, making it harder to hunt seals. The polar bears’ lack of nourishment not only threatens their lives but also reduces their reproductive capacity, leading to no new generations being born to replace the dying. As polar bear populations decline, the ecosystem is thrown out of equilibrium. With fewer polar bears to eat seals, seal populations increase. They then eat more fish, threatening those populations. As fish populations diminish, so do food supplies for all the people, birds, and animals that depend on them for sustenance.

Thus, scientists believe it’s best to err on the side of caution and protect polar bears now.

Reading comprehension 2: Read the following passage and choose A, B, C or D to answer each question from 641 to 645.

Shoppers using the internet to research hotels, books, electronics, and other purchases are being misled by millions of “fake” reviews orchestrated by companies to deceive potential customers.

According to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), more than half of the adults in Britain, around 25 million people, use online review sites such as Amazon, Tripadvisor, Expedia, and Checkatrade to find the best deals, but their impressions are being distorted by the growth of a “clandestine” market for fake reviews. It found that some firms broke the law by writing flattering posts about themselves to boost their rankings, while others offered money, free product samples, or other “rewards” to those who wrote positive reviews or gave five-star ratings. In some cases, rival firms posted disparaging remarks about each other to cloud the judgement of potential customers.

“It’s utterly appalling that companies are engaging in practices where they are duping potential customers who just want an honest review of their service,” said Guy Anker, director of consumer consulting firm MoneySavingExpert.com. “Review sites are an essential part of people’s research, whether it’s booking a hotel or buying a product, so visitors need to be able to trust them.”

The CMA stated that some websites have already developed systems to detect and verify fake reviews, but many others have not. The agency warned that in some cases, sites have “selectively arranged” reviews so that positive ones come to the front, as concealing negative reviews is against the law. Conversely, some customers are also trying to abuse the system by blackmailing companies through threats to leave a negative review.

An investigation will now commence and anyone found to be acting illegally will be fined and may even face prison.
