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 16 to 22.
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 towards the poles and up mountainsides towards
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.
(From "Global Warming" by Michael Mastrandrea and Stephen H.Schneider)

A. south - eastwards and down mountainsides toward lower elevations.

D. north - westwards and up mountainsides toward higher elevations.

Smoking is not as common in American as in many other countries. Generally, Americans smoke
less than Europeans and much less than Asians. It is a practice that is becoming less and less socially
acceptable.
Smoking is prohibited in many places. It is not allowed in any public buildings, on any public
transportation (including airplane flights within the United State), in shops, in movies theaters, schools,
and office buildings. The general rule is if you are indoors, then you probably are not allowed to smoke.
The exceptions are bars, nightclubs, and some restaurants. If a restaurant does allow smoking, it will
only be in an area that is designated for smokers. If you are with someone, even outdoors, it is polite to
ask if they mind before you start smoking.
The legal smoking age in America is 18. If you are buying cigarettes (or another tobacco
product) and you look young, the store clerk is required by law to ask you for proof of legal age. You
should be prepared to provide identification.
