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
Climate changes are one of the most intuitive changes in global warming. As a result of a large amount of carbon dioxide emissions, there is a sharp rise in high-temperature weather, which has an irreversible impact on our environment and ecology. Scientists say, “Changing weather patterns linked to rising global temperatures have resulted in a dearth of wind across northern China, according to several recent studies, exacerbating a wave of severe pollution that has been blamed for millions of premature deaths”. However, when I returned home last Christmas, there was no snow on the street, instead, it was a warm winter with sunshine. The continued of global warming may not only bring about changes in climate. The world may undergo more unpredictable changes due to global warming in the future.
Global climate change has seriously affected the living environment of animals, the change of climate, the quality of human life, and the threat to human security. Global warming has become a very difficult trend to reverse. It and rising temperatures have caused very serious consequences for human beings, brought great impact on the Earth’s organisms and seriously affected people’s lives, but people didn’t realize the seriousness of the problem. It is urgent to protect the environment and people should take active measures to deal with it.
The word “which” in paragraph 1 refers to _______.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
1. [I] All living organisms on Earth need water to survive, but more than 100,000 species, including humans, require a special type of water called fresh water, which is found in limited amounts. [II] Freshwater ecosystems are made up of various plants, animals, microbes, soil, rocks, sunlight, and water that all interact around this valuable resource. [IV] Less than three percent of the Earth's total water is freshwater, and less than half of that is in liquid form. [IV]
2. Freshwater ecosystems naturally share resources between different habitats. For instance, rivers and streams transport salts and nutrients from higher elevations like mountains to lower areas, such as lakes, ponds, and wetlands. Eventually, these nutrients reach the ocean. These waterways also enable migrating species, such as salmon, to carry nutrients from the ocean back to freshwater ecosystems, providing essential support for these habitats upstream.
3. Lakes and ponds also undergo nutrient exchanges through seasonal cycles. Cold water, which is denser than warm water, sinks to the bottom, maintaining a more constant temperature. As winter arrives and the air temperature drops, the surface water becomes colder than the water at the bottom, causing it to sink and push the warmer water up. This process repeats in the spring when the ice melts, bringing nutrients from the lake's bottom to the surface, where they can be utilized by plants and animals.
4. It is normal for ecosystems to encounter change. Temperatures may fluctuate, populations may rise and fall, and rain may bring an abundance of water, then taper during drought. The plants, animals, and microbes in healthy freshwater ecosystems are resilient and have adaptations that allow them to adjust appropriately until ideal conditions resume. However, if any element of the ecosystem varies too far outside of the norm, the balance of the whole system can start to fail.
The word fluctuate in paragraph 4 is OPPOSITE in meaning to __________.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
1. Wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems in the world, comparable to rain forests and coral reefs. These areas support a wide variety of species, including microbes, plants, insects, birds, fish, and mammals. Factors such as climate, landscape, geology, and water availability determine the types of plants and animals that live in wetlands. The relationships among these organisms create complex food webs, where each species plays a role in maintaining the ecosystem.
2. [I] Wetlands are often called "biological supermarkets" because they produce large amounts of food that attract many species. [II] Dead plant material, known as "detritus," enriches the water and provides nutrients for small aquatic insects, shellfish, and fish. [III] Many animals rely on wetlands for food, water, and shelter, especially during migration and breeding. [IV]
3. The ecological role of wetlands is closely linked to their surrounding watersheds. A watershed is an area where water flows to a common outlet, such as a river or lake. Wetlands are essential for maintaining the health of watersheds as they provide shallow water, high nutrient levels, and support organisms at the base of the food web. These ecosystems are integral to many species of fish, shellfish, and insects.
4. In addition to their ecological benefits, wetlands contribute to global environmental processes. They store carbon in their plants and soil, reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and helping to regulate the global climate. Wetlands are also involved in natural water, nitrogen, and sulfur cycles.
5. Humans benefit significantly from wetlands. They provide resources like fish, shellfish, timber, berries, and medicines. Wetlands also protect against floods, improve water quality, prevent shoreline erosion, and offer recreational opportunities. Far from being unimportant, wetlands provide unique environmental and human benefits.
