 A recent survey of crime statistics shows that we are all more likely to be burgled now than 
20 years ago and the police advise everyone to take a few simple precautions to protect their 
homes. 
 The first fact is that burglars and other intruders prefer easy opportunities, like a house 
which is very obviously empty. This is much less of a challenge than an occupied house, and 
one which is well-protected. A burglar will wonder if it is worth the bother. 
 There are some general tips on how to avoid your home becoming another crime statistic. 
Avoid leaving signs that your house is empty. When you have to go out, leave at least one light 
on as well as a radio or television, and do not leave any curtains wide open. The sight of your 
latest music centre or computer is enough to tempt any burglar. 
 Never leave a spare key in a convenient hiding place. The first place a burglar will look is 
under the doormat or in a flower pot and even somewhere more 'imaginative' could soon be 
uncovered by the intruder. It is much safer to leave a key with a neighbour you can trust. But if 
your house is in a quiet, desolate area be aware that this will be a burglar's dream, so deter 
any potential criminal from approaching your house by fitting security lights to the outside of 
your house. 
 But what could happen if, in spite of the aforementioned precautions, a burglar or intruder 
has decided to target your home. Windows are usually the first point of entry for many intruders. 
Downstairs windows provide easy access while upstairs windows can be reached with a ladder 
or by climbing up the drainpipe. Before going to bed you should double-check that all windows 
and shutters are locked. No matter how small your windows may be, it is surprising what a 
narrow gap a determined burglar can manage to get through. For extra security, fit window 
locks to the inside of the window. 
 What about entry via doors? Your back door and patio doors, which are easily forced open, 
should have top quality security locks fitted. Even though this is expensive it will be money well 
spent. Install a burglar alarm if you can afford it as another line of defence against intruders. 
 A sobering fact is that not all intruders have to break and enter into a property. Why go to 
the trouble of breaking in if you can just knock and be invited in? Beware of bogus officials or 
workmen and, particularly if you are elderly, fit a chain and an eye hole so you can scrutinise 
callers at your leisure. When you do have callers never let anybody into your home unless you 
are absolutely sure they are genuine. Ask to see an identity card, for example. 
 If you are in the frightening position of waking in the middle of the night and think you can 
hear an intruder, then on no account should you approach the intruder. It is far better to 
telephone the police and wait for help. 
Question 45: A well-protected house _________ . 
A. is less likely to be burgled. B. is regarded as a challenge by most criminals. 
C. is a lot of bother to maintain. D. is very unlikely to be burgled. 
Question 46: According to the writer, we should ________ . 
A. avoid leaving our house empty. 
B. only go out when we have to. 
C. always keep the curtains closed. 
D. give the impression that our house is occupied when we go out. 
Question 47: The writer thinks that hiding a key under a doormat or flower pot __________. 
A. is predictable. B. is useful.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to 
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 55 to 64. 
 Global warming could cause drought and possibly famine in China, the source of much of 
Hong Kong’s food, by 2050, a new report predicts. Hong Kong could also be at risk from 
flooding as sea levels rose. The report recommends building sea-walls around low-lying areas 
such as the new port and airport reclamations. Published by the World Wide Fund for Nature 
(WWF), the report, which includes work by members of the Chinese Academy of Meteorological 
Sciences, uses the most recent projections on climate change to point to a gloomy outlook for 
China. 
By 2050, about 30 to 40 per cent of the country will experience changes in the type of 
vegetation 
it supports, with tropical and subtropical forest conditions shifting northward and hot desert 
conditions rising in the west where currently the desert is temperate. Crop-growing areas will 
expand but any benefit is expected to be negated by increased evaporation of moisture, 
making it too dry to grow crops such as rice. The growing season also is expected to alter,

becoming shorter in southern and central China, the mainland’s breadbasket. The rapid 
changes make it unlikely that plants could adapt 
“China will produce smaller crops. In the central and northern areas, and the southern part, 
there will be decreased production because of water limitations”, Dr. Rik Leemans, one of the 
authors of the report, said during a brief visit to the territory yesterday. Famine could result 
because of the demands of feeding the population - particularly if it grows - and the diminished 
productivity of the land. “It looks very difficult for the world as a whole”, he said. 
Global warming is caused by the burning of large amounts of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, 
which release gases that trap heal in the atmosphere. World temperatures already have 
increased this century by about 6 degrees Celsius and are projected to rise by between 1.6 
degrees and 3.8 degrees by 2100. 
Dr. Leemans said China’s reliance on coal-fired power for its industrial growth did not bode well 
for the world climate. “I think the political and economic powers in China are much greater than 
the environmental powers, and [greenhouse gas emissions] could accelerate,” Dr. Leemans 
said. “China is not taking the problem seriously yet, although it is trying to incorporate this kind 
of research to see what is going to happen.” 
The climate change report, which will be released tomorrow, focuses on China but Mr. David 
Melville of WWF-Hong Kong said some of the depressing scenarios could apply to the territory. 
Food supplies, for instance, could be affected by lower crop yields. “Maybe we could afford to 
import food from elsewhere but you have to keep in mind that the type of changes experienced 
in southern China will take place elsewhere as well,” he said. Sea levels could rise as glaciers 
melted and the higher temperatures expanded the size of the oceans, threatening much of 
developed Hong Kong which is built on reclaimed land. Current projections are that sea levels 
worldwide will rise by 15 to 90 centimetres by 2100, depending on whether action is taken to 
reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 
“Hong Kong has substantial areas built on reclaimed land and sea level rises could impact on 
that, not only on Chek Lap Kok but the West Kowloon Reclamation and the Central and 
Western Reclamation - the whole lot,” Mr. Melville said, adding that sea walls would be needed. 
Depleted fresh water supplies would be another problem because increased evaporation would 
reduce levels. Mr. Melville said the general outlook could be helped if Hong Kong used water 
less wastefully and encouraged energy efficiency to reduce fuel-burning. He also called on the 
West to help China improve its efficiency. 
Question 55: Overall, what sort of picture is painted of the future effects of global warming? 
 A. disastrous B. potentially disastrous 
 C. relatively optimistic D. on balance things are going to be satisfactory 
Question 56: What is this passage? 
 A. a report 
 B. a preview of a report 
 C. an article describing a response to a report
