Plants and animals will find it difficult to escape from or adjust to the effect of global warming, Scientists have
already observed shifts in the lifecycles of many plants and animals, such as flowers blooming earlier and birds
hatching earlier in the spring. Many species have begun shifting where they live or their annual migration patterns
due to warmer temperatures
With further warming, animals will tend to migrate toward the poles and up mountainsides toward higher
elevations. Plants will also attempt to shift their ranges, seeking new areas as old habitats grow too warm. In many
places, however, human development will prevent these shifts. Species that find cities or farmland blocking their
way north or south may become extinct. Species living in unique ecosystems, such as those found in polar and
mountainous regions, are especially at risk because migration to new habitats is not possible. For example, polar
bears and marine mammals in the Arctic are already threatened by dwindling sea ice but have nowhere farther to
go.
Projecting species extinction due to global warming is extremely difficult. Some scientists have estimated that 20 to
50 percent of species could be committed to extinction with 2 to 3 Celsius degrees of further warming. The rate of
warming, not just the magnitude, is extremely important for plants and animals. Some species and even entire
ecosystems, such as certain types of forest, many not be able to adjust quickly enough and may disappear.
Ocean ecosystems, especially fragile ones like coral reefs, will also be affected by global warming. Warmer ocean
temperatures can cause coral to "bleach", a state which if prolonged will lead to the death of the coral. Scientists
estimate that even 1 Celsius degree of additional warming could lead to widespread bleaching and death of coral
reefs around the world. Also increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere enters the ocean and increases the acidity
of ocean waters. This acidification further stresses ocean ecosystems.
38. The word "fragile" in paragraph 4 most probably means ____.
A. very large B. easily damaged
C. rather strong D. pretty hard
39. The bleaching of coral reefs as mentioned in paragraph 4 indicates ____.
A. the water absorption of coral reefs. B. the quick growth of marine mammals.
C. the blooming phase of sea weeds. D. the slow death of coral reefs.
40. The level of acidity in the ocean is increased by ____.
A. the rising amount of carbon dioxide entering the oceans
B. the decrease of acidity of the pole
C. the extinction of species in coastal areas
D. the lose of acidity in the atmosphere around the oceans
41. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Influence of climate changes on human B. Effects of global warming on animals and plants
C. Global warming and possible solutions D. Global warming and species
42. Scientists have observed that warmer temperatures in the spring cause flowers to ____.
A. die instantly B. bloom earlier

43. According to paragraph 2, when their habitats grow warmer, animals tend to move ____.
A. south-eastwards and down mountainsides toward lower
B. north-westwards and up mountainsides toward higher
C. toward the North Pole and down mountainsides toward lower

If you show up a bit late for a meeting in Brazil, no one will be too worried. But if you keep someone in New York
waiting for ten or fifteen minutes, you may have some explaining to do. Time is seen as relatively flexible in some
cultures but is viewed more rigidly in others.
Back in the 1950s, anthropologist Edward Hall described how the social rules of time are like a “silent language”
for a given culture. He described how variations in the perception of time can lead to misunderstandings between
people from separate countries. “An ambassador who has been kept waiting by foreign visitors need to understand
that if his visitor just mutters an apology, this is not necessarily an insult,” Hall wrote.
Social psychologist Robert Levine has conducted so-called pace-of-life studies in 31 countries. He ranked the
countries by measuring three things: walking speed on urban sidewalks, how quickly postal clerks could fulfil a
request for a common stamp and the accuracy of public clocks.
Kevin Birth, an anthropologist, as examined time perception in Trinidad. There, if someone is meeting friends at
6.00 p.m, people show up a 6.45 or 7.00 and say “any time is Trinidad time”. “You can’t simply go into a society and
ask someone, “Tell me about your conception of time,” Birth says. “You have to come up with other ways to find
out.”
