II.Read the following passage and choose the correct answers.(1point)
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.
1: Scientists have observed that warmer temperatures in the spring cause flowers to ___.
A. die instantly B. bloom earlier C. become lighter D. lose color
2: According to paragraph 2, when their habitats grow warmer, animali tend to move ________.
A. south - eastwards and down mountainsides toward lower elevations.
B. north - westwards and up mountainsides toward higher elevations.
C. toward the North Pole and down mountainsides toward lower elevations.
D. toward the poles and up mountainsides toward higher elevations.
3: The pronoun "those" in paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A. species B. ecosystems C. habitats D. areas
4: The phrase "dwindling sea ice" in paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. the frozen water in the Artie. B.the violent Arctic Ocean.
C. the melting ice in the Arctic. D.the cold ice in the Arctic.
5: It is mentioned in the passage that if the global temperature rose by 2 or 3 Celcius degrees,
________.
A. half of the earth's surface would be flooded.
B. the sea level would rise by 20 centimeters.
C. water supply would decrease by 50 percent.
D. 20 to 50 percent of species could become extinct.
6: According to the passage, if some species are not able to adjust quickly to warmer
temperatures, _______.

A. the water absorption of coral reefs. B.the quick growth of marine mammals.

III. Read the following passage and choose the correct answers.(1point)
Belgium is a very old country, with a fascinating mixture of old customs and modern laws.
Belgium weddings may be performed as a civil ceremony or as a religious ceremony.
Traditionally, when a couple in Belgium wishes to announce their marriage, the wedding
invitations are printed on two sheets of paper, one from the bride's family and one sheet from the
groom's family. These wedding invitations symbolize the union of the two families and the
partnership of the new union.
An ancient Belgium custom that is designed to unite the two families calls for the bride to
stop as she walks up the aisle and to hand her mother a single flower. The two then embrace. Then,
during the recessional, the bride and groom walk to the groom's mother and the new bride hands her
new mother-in- law a single flower and the two of them embrace, symbolizing the bride's
acceptance of her new mother.
One of the most important and enduring traditions of the Belgium wedding is for the bride to
carry a specially embroidered handkerchief that has her name embroidered on it. After the wedding
this handkerchief is framed and hung on the wall in a place of honor. When the next female member
of the bride's family is to be wed, the handkerchief is removed from its frame, the new bride's name
is embroidered onto it, and it is passed down. The wedding handkerchief is passed from generation
to generation, and is considered an important family heirloom.
During the wedding mass, the bride and the groom are enthroned in two large chairs placed
near the altar, symbolizing that on this day and in this place they are the king and the queen. At the
conclusion of the ceremony, the groom slips the wedding ring onto the third finger of his bride's left
hand. The ring, being an endless circle, symbolizes never-ending love, and the third finger of the
left hand is believed to hold the vein that travels to the heart, symbolizing love. At the conclusion of
the ceremony, the bride and groom share their first kiss as husband and wife. The kiss is considered
a symbolic act of sharing each other's spirit as the couple each breathes in a portion of their new
mate's soul.
The bridesmaids traditionally take up a collection of coins and as the bride and groom exit
the church, the bridesmaids toss the coins to the poor outside the church. Giving gifts of money to
the poor helps to insure prosperity for the new bride and groom.
Following the wedding the bride and groom are off on their honeymoon. In ancient times the
honeymoon, which was celebrated by the drinking of mead, or honey wine, would last 28 days, one
complete cycle of the moon. This was to make sure that the bride's family did not try to steal their
daughter back from her new husband.
