The UN Environment Programme says that rising temperatures could mean the end for some migrating animals．

  Migrating or mobile animals move through several environments as they travel away from the cold of winter to warmer areas．Birds may fly from one part of the world to another，perhaps stopping at feeding grounds on the way．Whales and turtles cover vast

areas of ocean．The report says that changes in any one of the places which these animals use can cause serious harm．“Obviously these animals have developed their traveling patterns over thousands of years，but climate change is almost certain to be extreme over the next 25 to 50 years and it is extremely unlikely that these animals can change their habits fast enough，”said the report author Dr Robert Hepworth．

  Hardest hit by rising temperatures are turtles．Scientists have found that at higher temperatures，turtles produce far more female eggs than male ones．In parts of Malaysia， turtle birthing sites are producing only females，the report says It also provides evidence that some turtles are more likely to develop cancer as the waters get warmer．

  With birds，the main problem is climate related damage to important areas at either end of the travels of at resting places along the way．About one—fifth of migrating birds are now in danger because of climate related changes including rising sea levels，land loss and more violent storms，the report concludes．

  Other animals picked out as particularly in danger include：

    ·the North Atlantic Right Whale，whose main food（tiny shrimp）is disturbed by the change in ocean flows and

    ·the White Nose Dolphin，which is out—competed by other kinds of dolphins in warmer waters

  The report is not all bad news．Even with major climatic changes．protecting the environment can still help mobile animals to recover．“We need governments to start taking action at the national and international level．The clock is running．”said Dr． Hepworth．And some animals ale already adapting，with the report mentioning whales that are changing their feeding behaviors，finding new feeding grounds and new foods to eat．

1．What is the main topic of the text?

  A．The effect of climate change on migrating animals．

  B．How animals are adapting to changes in temperature．

  C．The actions required to save migrating animals

    C．there is not much time to solve the problem

    D．it takes time to complete the actions

  A．They will only produce female babies．

  B．Their food supply will gradually disappear．

  C．Some will suffer from higher rates of cancer

  D．They will be in greater danger because of more violent storms．

4．Which of the following is mentioned as a consequence of rising temperatures?

  A．More storms will affect the ability of whales to find their feeding grounds．

  B．20 percent of all likely to die out because of land loss．

  C．Migrating animals are likely to start adapting to the changes more quickly．

阅读下面的短文，然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

   The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented．Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others．So the killing on the road may be regarded as a social problem．

   In fact’the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people，just ordinary people acting carelessly，you might say But carelessness is no excuse when one’s actions could bring death or damage to others．A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence（疏忽）．

   Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 per cent of all automobile accidents are caused due to the psychological condition of the driver．Emotional upsets can s1ow drivers judgment and reactions，and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be evident．The experts warn that it is important for every driver to make all effort to keep one’s emotions under conlro1．

   Yet drivers are not the only people to blame for road accidents．Street walkers regularly break traffic regulations. They are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents; and many cyclists even believe that they need not follow the basic rules of the road.
