long damaging effects on food chains and ecosystems.global waning is having a great effect on hundreds of plant and animal species around the world, changing some living patterns, scientists say.increased carbon dioxide (co,) in the air from burning coal and oil can have an effect on how plants produce oxygen, while higher temperatures and changeable rainfall patterns can change their patterns of growth.predicting species reaction to climate change is a major challenge in ecology, said the researchers of several u. s. universities. they said plants had been the key object of study because their reaction to climate change could have an effect on food chains and ecosystem services.the study, published on the nature website, uses the findings from plant life cycle studies andexperiments across four continents and 1,634 species. it found that some experiments had underestimated (低估) the speed of flowering by 8.5 times and leafing by 4 times.across all species, the experiments under-predicted the speed of the advance for both leafing and flowering that results from temperature increases, the study said.the design of future experiments may need to be improved lo belter predict how plants will react to climate change, it said.plants are necessary for life on the earth. they are the base of the food chain, using photosynthesis (光合作用) to produce sugar from carbon dioxide and water. they let out oxygen which is needed by nearly every organism on the planet.scientists believe the worlds average temperature has risen by about 0. 8 since 1900, and nearly 0.2x. every ten years since 1979.so far, efforts to cut emissions (排放) of planet-warming greenhouse gases are not seen as enough to prevent the earth heating up beyond 2.c this century a point scientists say will bring the danger of a changeable climate in which weather extremes are common, leading to drought, floods, crop failures and rising sea levels.57.what is the key information the author wants to give in paragraph 1?a.plants reaction to weather could have damaging effects on ecosystems.b.the increasing speed of flowering is beyond scientists expectation.c.climate change leads to the change of food production patterns.d.food chains have been seriously damaged because of weather.58.we can learn from the study published on the nature website that_.a.plants flowering is 8.5 times faster than leafingb.there are 1,634 plant species on the four continentsc.scientists should improve the design of the experimentsd.the experiments failed to predict how plants react to climate change59.scientists pay special attention to the study of plants because.a.they can prove the climate change clearlyb.they are very important in the food chainsc.they play a leading role in reducing global warmingd.they are growing and flowering much faster than before60.what can be inferred from the last two paragraphs about the worlds temperature?a.it has risen nearly 0.2c since 1979b.its change will lead to weather extremes.c.it is 0.8c higher in 1979 than that of 1900.d.it needs to be controlled within in this century.*结束leading to现在分词做结果状语，和句子主语a point逻辑上构成主谓关系。阅读理解-b篇henry ford was

carries a label(标签) telling who made it or from what store it was bought. indeed, some labels show the dress is famous and it is very expensive, so buyers secretly wish they might be carried for ever. on the other hand, buyers who deal with the cheapest products(产品) would be pleased to do away with labels entirely. however, there is another label more important than the one showing from which store the dress was bought. when a person buys a fur coat, or a jacket, from a store, a label telling what the product is made of should be carried to it. this label is required by law. besides telling what the product on show is made of, the label should be in clear english and be where one can find it easily. the information on the label must be the truth. the reason for this label is that most buyers today arent expert enough to know exactly what kind of fur or material they are buying. the buyer must believe in the store that sells the products or in what the labels say. 1. the law requires that furs carry a _. a. clean labelb. clear labelc. white label d. secret label2. in the article
