The challenge of predicting organismal responses to global climate change is difficult.
Partly, this is due to the fact that there are more studies of short-term, individual organism responses than there are of long-term, systemwide studies.
It is extremely difficult, both monetarily and physically, for scientists to conduct field studies at spatial and temporal scales that are large enough to include all the components of real-world systems, especially ecosystems with large, freely ranging organisms.
One way paleobiologists try to get around this limitation is to attempt to reconstruct past climates by examining fossil life.
Look at the four squares[
]that indicate where the following sentence can be added to the passage. Much of this work depends on the assumption that life forms adapted to a particular climate in the present were adapted to the same type of climate in the past. Where would the sentence best fit?

Passage Two:Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.A breakthrough (突破) in the provision of energy from the sun for the European Economic Community (EEC) could be brought forward by up to two decades, if a modest increase could be provided in the EEC’s research effort in this field, according to the senior EEC scientists engaged in experiments in solar energy at EEC’s scientific laboratories at Ispra, near Milan.
The senior West German scientist in charge of the Community’s solar energy programme, Mr. Joachim Gretz, told journalists that at present levels of research spending it was most unlikely that solar energy would provide as much as three per cent of the Community’s energy requirements even after the year 2000. But he said that with a modest increase in the present< sums, devoted by the EEC to this work it was possible that the breakthrough could be achieved by the end of the next decade.
Mr. Gretz calculates that if solar energy only provided three per cent of the EEC’s needs, this could still produce a saving of about a billion pounds in the present bill for imported energy each year. And he believes that with the possibility of utilizing more advanced technology in this field it might be possible to satisfy a much bigger share of the Community’s future energy needs.
At present the EEC spends about $2.6 millions a year on solar research at Ispra, one of the EEC’s official joint research centres, and another $3 millions a year in indirect research with universities and other independent bodies.
第26题:The phrase “be brought forward” (Line 2, Para. 1) most probably means ________.
A) be expected
B) be completed
C) be advanced
D) be introduced

Business English English is becoming an international business language. This is【C1】______more and more companies are providing English language training for【C2】______employees. It can be very expensive, so companies should find out【C3】______really needs English and for what purpose. In a tourist hotel,【C4】______example, the manager【C5】______not need to use English much, except to【C6】______with complaints or to talk to important business contacts. The waiters,【C7】______the other hand, use English all the time. A manager and a waiter need different kinds of English, so the training【C8】______gets will also be very different. Then, some employees only【C9】______ a reading knowledge of English, so it would be a waste money to train【C10】______employees in conversational skills. But companies should also【C11】______into account the wishes of the employee themselves. Many people want to learn English, not just for their present job,【C12】______ because they see it as a passport to a better job in the future.

Chimpanzees
Chimpanzees(黑猩猩) will soon be extinct(灭绝). If the present rate of hunting and habitat(栖息地) destruction continues, then within 20 years, there will be no chimpanzees living in the wild. But this is more than an environmental or moral tragedy(悲剧). Chimpanzee extinction may also have profound implications(含意) for the survival of their distant relatives—human beings.
In 1975 the biologist Marie-Claire King and Allan Wilson discovered that the human and chimpanzee genomes(基因组) match by over 98%. Compare this to the mouse, used as model for human disease in lab tests, which shares only 60% of its DNA with us. In fact, chimpanzees are far more similar to humans than they are to any other species of monkey. As well as resembling us genetically, chimps are highly intelligent and able to use tools. These facts alone should be enough to make protection of chimps an urgent priority (优先). But there is another, more selfish reason to preserve the chimp.
The chimpanzees' trump card(王牌) comes in the field of medical research. Chimpanzees are so similar to humans that veterinarians(兽医) often refer to human medical textbooks when treating them. Yet chimpanzees do show differences in several key areas. In particular, chimps are much more resistant to a number of major diseases. It is this ability that is so interesting.
For example, chimps seem to show a much higher resistance than humans to HIV, the virus that causes Aids. Indeed, their use as experimental animals in Aids research has declined because they are so resistant.
By sequencing the chimp genome and pinpointing(找到) the place where the chimpanzee DNA sequence differs from that of humans, scientists hope to be able to discover which part of the genetic code gives chimps their increased resistance to some diseases. This, they hope, will allow them to develop new and more effective treatments for the human forms of these diseases. Such treatments could include the production of new drugs or even the alteration(改变) of the human genetic sequence. The recently completed human genome sequencing project has shown that such an effort is now well within our reach.
A. Reasons for HIV resistance
B. Implications of chimpanzee extinction for humans
C. Effective Aids treatment
D. Genetic similarities between chimps and humans
E. Resistance to HIV
F. Genetic differences between chimps and humans

Those who criticize economic growth argue that we must slow down. They believe that society is approaching certain limits on growth. These include the fixed supply of natural resources,the possible negative effect of industry on the natural environment, and the continuing increase in the world's population. As society reaches these limits, economic growth can no longer continue and the quality of life will decrease.
People who want more economic growth, on the other hand, argue that even at the present growth rate there are still many poor people in the world. These supporters of economic growth believe that only more growth can create the capital needed to improve the quality of life in the world. Furthermore, they argue that only continued growth can provide the financial resources required to protect our natural surroundings from industrialization.
This debate over the demand of continued economic growth is of vital importance to business and industry. If those who argue against economic growth are correct, the problems they mentioned cannot be ignored. To find a solution, economists and business community must pay attention to these problems and continue discussing them with one another.

A.It has a negative effect on the natural environment.
B.The quality of our life is decreased.
C.The world's population is approaching certain limits on growth.
D.Natural resources are used up.
