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 43 to 50

Plants and animals will find it difficult to escape from or adjust to the effects 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 north 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.

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

Đáp án A

Kiến thức: Đọc hiểu

Giải thích:

Theo đoạn văn, nếu một số loài không thể thích ứng nhanh với nhiệt độ ấm hơn, thì ___.

A. chúng có thể có nguy cơ tuyệt chủng 

B. chúng có thể bắt đầu phát triển

C. họ chắc chắn sẽ cần nước

D. chúng di chuyển đến rừng nhiệt đới

Thông tin: Some species and even entire ecosystems, such as certain types of forest, may not be able to adjust quickly enough and may disappear.

Tạm dịch: Một số loài và thậm chí toàn bộ hệ sinh thái, chẳng hạn như một số loại rừng, có thể không thể thích ứng đủ nhanh và có thể biến mất.
