Ecologists at the University of Burmingham in England analysed 131 published studies on extinction rates for specific species and regions to predict global extinction risks. With current warming, about 2.8 percent of species worldwide are at risk of extinction. If global temperatures rise 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, 5.2 percent of species will face extinction. If temperatures rise 4.3 degrees C, about 16 percent of species will be threatened. Species in South America, Australia and New Zealand face the highest risks.科学家五月一号在科学期刊撰文指出，如果全球变暖持续恶化，六分之一的物种将面临濒临灭绝的危险。英国伯明翰大学生态学家分析了131篇研究报告，根据某些具体物种以及其在该区域灭绝的速度做出了这一预测。随着当前全球变暖的进一步加剧，约2.8%物种面临灭绝。研究发现，如果气温升高摄氏2度，超过工业化前的水平，5.2%物种将濒临灭绝。假如气温升高摄氏4.3度，16%物种将面临危灭顶之灾。南美、澳大利亚以及新西兰等国将首当其冲。 我国作为世界第二大经济体和重要的农业大国、人口大国，农业与粮食始终关系国计民生和国家安全。我国政府高度重视“三农”问题以及粮食和食品安全。这是新中国成立以来第十五次参加世博会，也是首次在世博会这一多边重大国际舞台上全面展示中国农业、粮食和食品领域的发展成果，宣传农业可持续发展的理念和实践经验。As a second largest economy, characterised with agriculture and population, needless to say agriculture and food are always concerns for the livelihood and security in this country.

This is the 15th time for China to attend World Expo since its founding and it is her first time to exhibit the fruits achieved in the area of agriculture, grain and food industry in a multilateral international stage and to publicise concepts and practical experiences associated with sustainable development. 英译汉和汉译英两部分共30分钟姓名年级得分 If global warming continues unabated, up to 1 in 6 species on Earth could face extinction, scientists report in the May 1 Science.
