These gases, called “greenhouse gases”, prevent the heat of the sun from leaving the earths upper atmosphere
48、and this makes the earth warmer62.A few weeks ago a group of scientists produced a report about global warming and the natural world. They wanted to find out if global warming was dangerous for plants and animals. According to what they found, the scientists say that during the next 50 years about 2
49、5% of land animals and plants will become extinct. More than a million plant and animal species will be extinct by 2050.63.More than 10% of all plants and animals will become extinct. It is too late to save many plants and animals because of the greenhouse gases that are already in the atmosphere. B
50、ut the scientists say if we control greenhouse gases now, we could save many more plant and animals from extinction.64.The scientists studied some regions of the world with a very rich biology. These were Europe, Australia, Central and South America, and South Africa. Their studies showed that speci
51、es living in mountainous areas had a better chance of survival because they could move uphill, to get cooler. In flat areas, such as deserts, plants and animals would have to move a very long distance to get cooler, so they are in grater danger of extinction.65.The scientists found that half of the
52、24 species of butterflies they studied in Australia would soon become extinct. 60% of the species in the Kruger National Park in South Africa would also die out, and more than 100% of the 300 South Africa plant species they studied would also become extinct.

61、面表达参考范文 One possible version: May I have your attention, please? My topic today is about copying others homework.As we all know, some students copy others homework. On the one hand, we students have to do masses of homework both at home and at school. Sometimes we do have some problems, too hard to
62、work out. On the other hand, lazy and uninterested in their lessons, some students copy others homework not only to finish the assignments but also please their teachers.In a word, copying others homework is a bad habit. For one thing, its against the school rules. Being students, we should be honest and work hard. If we have difficulties, we can turn to teachers and classmates for help. For another, copying others homework too often, we will lose the ability that can help us to think.
