PASSAGE 1

►Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer shect to indicate the correct

answer to each of the questions from 1 to 10.

Plants and animals will find it difficult to escape from or adjust to the effect of global warming, Scientists have

already observerd 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 mountantop 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 extiction 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 furter stresses ocean ecosystems.
