Чтение: White Roofs for a Bright Future!

A. There has been an increase in the amount of greenhouse gases in recent years

True. В тексте говорится: 'The number of floods, storms and heatwaves has increased as a result of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases...'

B. Professor Chu suggests painting every large surface on Earth white

False. В тексте сказано: '...suggests that painting our rooftops white will help the Earth's temperature to drop. The idea is that if enough surfaces - rooftops, pavements, roads - are painted white...', что указывает на конкретные поверхности, а не на все.

C. Buildings with white roofs don't need air conditioning at all.

False. В тексте сказано: '...homes with white rooftops and cars that are painted white wouldn't absorb so much heat from the sun. This means that they would be cooler and people wouldn't have to turn on their air conditioners as much.' Это означает, что кондиционеры будут использоваться реже, но не полностью перестанут быть нужными.

D. Professor Chu's suggestion has been accepted by many experts

False. В тексте говорится: 'Although the idea of white rooftops has been generally welcomed by the scientific and environmental communities, there appear to be a few problems.' Это не означает полного принятия всеми экспертами.

E. Some people feel that painting surfaces white will not be enough to solve the problem of global warming

True. В тексте говорится: 'Pessimists feel that though painting rooftops and pavements in light colours is good in theory, it is just a very small step to take towards reducing the Earth's temperature. It's the combination of different methods that will help our planet get back on its feet.'
