cars will become available to the public but if they do, it will be a major breakthrough for transport

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 life cycles 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 mountain sides

Trang 31

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 mountaintop 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, may 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

21 Scientists have observed that warmer temperatures in the spring cause flowers to

A die instantly B bloom earlier C become lighter D lose color

22 The pronoun “those” in paragraph 2 refers to

A species B ecosystems C habitats D areas

23 According to the passage, if some species are not able to adjust quickly to warmer temperatures,

A they may be endangered B they can begin to develop

C they will certainly need water D they move to tropical forests

24 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

Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and mediaeval worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant reading aloud Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace

One should be wary, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud was a distraction to others Examinations of factors related to the historical development of silent reading have revealed that it became the usual mode of reading for most

Trang 36

adults mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character

The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number of readers As the number of readers increased, the number of potential listeners declined and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to other readers

Towards the end of the century, there was still considerable argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully and over whether the reading of materials such

as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening Indeed, this argument remains with US still in education However, whatever its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced

by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and periodicals for a specialised readership

on the other

By the end of the twentieth century, students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to

books and to use reading skills which were inappropriate, if not impossible, for the oral reader The

social, cultural and technological changes in the century had greatly altered what the term “reading” implied

21 Reading aloud was more common in the mediaeval world because _

A people relied on reading for entertainment

B silent reading had not been discovered

C there were few places available for private reading

D few people could read to themselves

22 It can be inferred that the emergence of the mass media and specialised reading materials was an indication of _

A a decline of standards of literacy

B a change in the readers’ interest

C an alteration in educationalists’ attitudes

D an improvement of printing techniques

23 The phrase “oral reader” in the last paragraph mostly means a person who _

A is good at public speaking B practises reading to an audience

C takes part in an audition D is interested in spoken language

24 The writer of this passage is attempting to _

Trang 37

A explain how reading habits have developed

B change people’s attitudes to reading

C show how reading methods have improved

D encourage the growth of reading
