Rising temperatures. Researchers estimate that as much as 40 percent of lizard species worldwide will die out by 2080
17、. The problem is that temperatures in many regions where lizards live have changed too fast for the animals to keep pace. Barry Sinervo from the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of California in Santa Cruz, along with colleagues from across the globe, reached that con
18、clusion by taking current data on Mexican lizards. They also estimated that 4 percent of local species have already disappeared worldwide. That number could jump to 20 percent by 2080 if carbon dioxide levels arent lowered to reduce warming.The team looked 48 species of Sceloporus lizard at 200 site
19、s around Mexico. The sites were first sampled from 1975 to 1995. By 2010, research could not find lizards at 12 percent of those sites.Lizards that bear live young are especially at risk of dying out, the researchers point out, compared to that lay eggs. “Live-bearers have lower body temperatures th

21、ecies, researchers say.Many Mexican lizard species live in high altitude “islands”, where climate change happens the fastest. The lizards cannot adjust fast enough to survive. The scientists say they do not think the animals are likely to save themselves just by moving somewhere else, either.“How qu
22、ickly can Earths lizards adapt to the rising global temperatures? Thats the important question,” Sinervo said in a press release. “We are actually seeing lowland species moving upward, slowly driving upland species out of their habitats. If the upland species cant evolve fast enough, they will die o
23、ut.”24. Which of the following lizards face a higher risk of dying out?A. Lizards at low altitudes.B. Lizards that bear their young.C. Lizards that lay eggs.D. Lizards in a stable environment.25. According to Barry Sinervo and his colleagues, _.A. their conclusion is based on current data on various

Even in relatively remote places such as th

29、 originate from a variety of sources, including cosmetics, clothing, and industrial processes.Humans are known to consume the tiny plastic particles through food and water, but the possible health effects on people and ecosystems have yet to be determined. One study, in Singapore, has found that mic
30、ro-plastics can harbor harmful microbes (微生物).Research by the National University of Singapore found more than 400 types of bacteria on 275 pieces of micro-plastic collected from local beaches. They included insects that cause gastroenteritis (肠胃炎)and wound infections in humans.Micro-plastics are be
