Câu hỏi:

Read the following passage about the When the Earth Calls: How Will Humans Respond? and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.

[I]The Earth is crying out for help, and time is running out. [II]Over the past decades, humans have seen the writing on the wall—climate change, extreme weather events, loss of biodiversity, and deforestation. [III], the big question remains: how will humanity respond? [IV]Will we rise to the occasion and take the necessary actions in time, or will we continue to bury our heads in the sand, letting the planet's situation spiral out of control?

There are those who believe that technology is the solution. With advancements in renewable energy, artificial intelligence, and green technologies, many think we can reverse or mitigate the damage. For instance, solar and wind energy offer sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels, while innovations in waste management and agriculture can reduce human impact on the environment. However, others argue that technology alone is insufficient. They emphasize the importance of a shift in human behavior, with more people adopting eco-friendly habits, reducing waste, and making sustainable lifestyle choices.

Global organizations and governments have made efforts to address environmental challenges. The Paris Agreement, for example, aims to limit global warming, and many nations are investing in green technologies. Yet, progress has been slow due to economic and political factors, and immediate, widespread action is still lacking. The Earth is sending out warnings, but time is running out.

As we face these challenges, one thing is clear: if humanity is to survive and thrive, we must listen to the Earth’s call. The question is whether we will take collective, decisive action before it is too late.
