IELTS Reading: multiple choice

Read the following text and choose the best answer for each question.

The term "IQ" comes from German "Intelligenz-Quotient", coined by the German psychologist William Stern in 1912, who proposed a method of scoring children's intelligence tests. Since the early 20th century, scores on IQ tests have increased in most parts of the world. The phenomenon of rising score performance means that if test-takers are scored by a constant standard scoring rule, IQ test scores have been rising at an average rate of around three IQ points per decade. This phenomenon was named the Flynn effect in the book The Bell Curve after James R. Flynn, the author who did the most to bring this phenomenon to the attention of psychologists.

1. “IQ” refers to

A) a type of intelligence test for children
B) a means of rating intelligence tests
C) an area of psychology

2. Flynn noticed that

A) IQ scores were constant around the world
B) IQ was a global phenomenon
C) intelligence scores had gradually risen over several decades

Here is text about global warming. kindly tell which 2 sentences are true?
Global Warming
Global Warming.

Global warming is expected to change Earth's weather in dramatic ways.

The best computer models predict the US,...

...West Mediterranean nations and Brazil ...

...will be "hot spots" that will get extremes at their worst.

These areas will likely suffer more extended droughts,...

...heavy rainfalls and longer heat waves.

It's estimated that the expected global average temperature change...

...will range from 2.5 degrees Fahrenheit, 1.4 degrees Celsius to 10.4 degrees Fahrenheit, 5.8 degrees Celsius.

In Korea, the expected consequences of global warming will be very bad.

In particular,...

...the tropical night's phenomenon which is already very bad will get much worse...

...as the average nighttime temperature is expected to greatly increase.

When heat waves and their intensity, length, and occurrence increase; people die.

For Korea, another negative impact will be much less predictable monsoon seasons.

This will lead to more drought and at the same time more flooding, both...

...of which will hurt food self - sufficiency.

Sea level rise will cause Korea to lose land especially in the south and western areas.

One way that Korea will do its part to slow down global warming...

...will be to use more nuclear power...

....to generate electricity rather than using oil and coal which produce greenhouse gases.

Korea is also a leading producer of automobiles...

...and is rich enough in both income and technology...

...to produce and adopt hybrid and other alternative energy vehicles...

...as new technologies become available.

1- wind power should be used to slow down the effect of grenhouse gases.
2-Sea level rise in Korea will result in the loss of land.
3-Global warming can cause a shortage in food self suffiency.
