Exercise 3: 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
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 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 furter stresses ocean ecosystems.
