Questions 28 to 30 are based on the following news.

The late rainy season storm sweeps across Bangkok，sending sheets of rain down， forcing traffic to a crawl, and quickly flooding low-lying areas.

(28) Flooding is a regular feature of this city of 10 million. Usually the water drains away within a few hours. But some climate experts and city planners say future floods may cause lasting¹ damage because of rising sea waters.

Batteries of reports warn of the threat of rising waters to this city and other lowlying communities. (29) The conservation group WWF lists Bangkok alongside Dhaka, Manila，Jakarta，Calcutta，Phnom Penh，Ho Chi Minh City and Shanghai as some of the most vulnerable to massive flooding.

And the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on climate change lists Bangkok among the 20 major cities at risk of being swamped by rising sea levels. Samith Dhannasaroja is the former head of Thailand’s metrological department. He gained fame by warning that Thailand’s coasts were vulnerable to tsunamis³.

The warnings were ignored until the deadly December 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami². (30) Now Samith warns that rising sea levels could swamp Bangkok within two decades. He says the issue has received little public attention, and unless something is done, Bangkok could be flooded permanently⁴.
