PASSAGE 01
►Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet 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 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 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,
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.
