Starving polar bears are eating one another in the Arctic. Flowers are blooming too soon and die. The ice caps are melting so fast that rising water levels will threaten coastal towns along Florida within several decades. These are just a few examples of the terrible consequences of climate change supported by a new analysis in Nature.

   In the past three decades, average global temperatures have risen about 0. 6°C and are projected to jump by about 1. 7°C by the end of the century, says Cynthia Rosenzweig, who leads the Climate Impacts Group at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies at Columbia University in New York. “We’ve already seen that a relatively low amount of warming,” she says, “can lead to a broad range of changes. ”

   The unnatural warming caused by man-made greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide produced by cars and coal-powered plants, brings trouble for entire ecosystems. In North America alone, scientists have identified 89 species of plants, such as the American holly that have flowered earlier in the spring. In Spain, apple trees bloom 35 days ahead of schedule in response to the higher temperatures. Other wildlife, like the insects that use certain plants for food and the birds that feed on the insects, must then move forward their seasonal stirrings(萌動) and mating（交配） patterns to survive.

   To try to follow this time shift, some birds such as robins, the classic symbol of winter’s thaw(解凍時期), are returning to Colorado from their migrations some two weeks earlier than in years past. All these changes can throw a food chain in disorder. Some bird species that arrive before the insects reappear may starve to death.

   “Around the world, plants and animals are waking up to an earlier alarm clock than they used to,” says Terry Root, a biologist from Stanford University.  

The underlined word “projected”(in Paragraph 2) probably means “____”.

       A. forced           B. presented         C. indicated       D. predicted

According to the third paragraph, as a result of climate change ____ .

       A. the warm weather wakes animals up earlier

       B. certain trees bloom a season ahead of time

       C. the birds need to change patterns of living

       D. the American holly will flower in late spring

What can we know about robins according to the passage?

       A. Farmers depend on them to tell the time.

      B. They used to come back when spring came.

      C. They used to predict the change of weather.

      D. They usually migrate when seasons change.

What would be the best title for the passage?

       A. Man is to blame for global warming     

       B. Great changes take place on Earth

      C. Bird migration and climate change

       D. Global warming changing nature’s clock

While most travelers aim to stay out of the hospital while on vacation, a growing number of medical tourists－people who combine treatment with travel － are crossing international borders for the purpose of getting medical services, which can range from a hip replacement to a tummy tuck. Widespread air travel, increasing healthcare costs in developed countries, long waiting lists and an ageing world population have all contributed to a global increase in medical tourism in the past decade. And Asia takes the lead in terms of world market share.

More than 89% of medical tourists travelled to Thailand, India or Singapore in 2010, with Bangkok and Singapore leading the pack. But the cost of hotel rooms and treatment are both far more expensive in Singapore than in the Thai capital, making Bangkok the most popular place for medical tourism in the world. Even after the serious floods of 2011, 19 million tourists visited Thailand in 2011, a 20% jump from 2010, with about 500,000 tourists travelling specifically for medical treatment.

Given Thailand’s reputation for outstanding service, it is not hard to see why Bangkok has quickly become the medical tourism centre of Asia. The Tourism Authority of Thailand(TAT), which began medical tourism in 2004, has a detailed medical tourism website that lists many of the most popular treatments available, including dental work, dermatology and cosmetic surgery, as well as listing reputed hospitals, making it easy for potential visitors to decide on a procedure. TAT has also recently partnered with Krungthai Bank, the national bank of Thailand, to offer tourists a card called the Miracle Thailand Card, which offers some medical and life insurance coverage in case of an accident.

“The hospitals in Bangkok are some of the highest quality in the world，meeting US standards，”said Steven Lash, CEO of a US-based medical travel company that sends tourists to Bangkok as well as to seven other countries, including Turkey and Mexico. "All of the tourists we have sent to these hospitals have given us excellent feedback (反饋) on their procedures and their experiences at the hospitals."

1. Medical tourism is so popular nowadays partly because_____.

A．a(chǎn)ged patients prefer to travel

B．a(chǎn)ir travel is cheaper than before

A．Bangkok provides an excellent service at lower prices.

B．Medical tourists in Bangkok get high health insurance.

C．The local authority in Bangkok has a good reputation.

D．Bangkok has a detailed medical tourism website.

3.The author develops the third paragraph mainly by _________.

A．giving figures                          B．Presenting effects

C．using examples                         D．making comparisons

4.Steven Lash thinks Bangkok’s hospitals_______.

A．a(chǎn)re really excellent                      B．a(chǎn)re welcomed by Americans

C．a(chǎn)re famous mainly for their service          D．a(chǎn)re better than hospitals in the USA

5.What is the text mainly about?

A．The background of medical tourism.

B．The rise of medical tourism in Bangkok.

C．The advantages of medical tourism in Bangkok.

D．The comparison of medical tourism in Asian countries.
