Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what the real flying is!”One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show off his skills.

The threat（威胁）to coral reefs isn’t something that’s going to happen in 100 years from now. We’re losing them right now," said Julia Baum, who is a biologist at the University of Victoria, in British Columbia, Canada. “We’re losing them really quickly, much more quickly than I think any of us ever could have imagined.” Even if global warming were to stop right now, scientists predict that over 90 % of coral reefs will die by 2050.Actually, the planet’s health depends on the survival（生存）of coral reefs. They’re often described as underwater rainforests, because they’re ecosystems（生态系统）that provide living places for one in four of all sea animals. The reefs also serve as barriers（屏障）that protect coastlines from the full force of powerful storms. Coral is used in medical research to find out how to treat diseases like cancer, etc. Besides, the reefs attract tourists, the fishing industry and other businesses; bringing in billions of dollars of income.Coral is a kind of animal that has no backbone, and lives mostly in tropical（热带的）water. A rise of just 1℃ to 2℃can have effects on coral. It can survive in these higher temperatures only for a few months. Unluckily, the problem isn’t just global warming. The reefs have also been affected by po llution, coastal development and overfishing. Now scientists are doing something to make sure the rest survive. They hope that it’s not too late to save the reefs, and some are moving ahead on experiments to complete that goal. Ruth Gates, director of the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology, for example, is trying to “train” coral to get used to rising temperatures to survivable levels of heat stress. She hopes that the coral will fix the experience in its memory so that it can accept similar stress in the future.（1）Where is Julia Baum from?A.Australia.B.Canada.C.England.D.America.（2）Why are coral reefs of great benefit?A.They can be used to prevent and cure diseases.B.They are home to about half of marine species.C.They protect water from being polluted.D.They are important to local economy.（3）Ruth Gates is mentioned in the last paragraph just in order to show ______.A.measures that are being taken to protect coral reefsB.scientists’ interest in doing research on coral reefsC.ways to develop reefs’ environmental adaptabilityD.the relationship between coral reefs and temperatures（4）From the passage, we know ______.A.all the coral reefs will die by 2050B.scientists are doing something to save the rest of coral reefsC.half of the world’s coral reefs have died in the last 100 yearsD.when the temperature rises 1°C to 2℃，coral reefs will disappear（5）Where can we read this passage?A.In a history magazine.B.In an art magazine.C.In a sports magazine.D.In a science magazine.5.Central Hotel, New York Park4 stars870 7th Ave New York, NY, 10019, the United States of America, 800 491 9657Our lowest price is $129.Hotel sizeThis hotel has 761 rooms.This hotel has over 18 floors.Arriving/LeavingCheck-in time starts at 4: 00 p. m.Check-out time is at noon.Required at check-inCredit card deposit is required.Government-issued photo ID card is required.Minimum check-in age is 21.Children (11 years old and younger) stay free when taking the parent’s room or the guardian’s（监护人的）room, using existing（现存的）bedding（寝具）．PetsPets are not allowed.InternetWi-Fi in public areasValet parking（代客泊车）Smoke-free property（No smoking）（1）The lowest price of the hotel is ______.
