3．Half of the world's beaches could disappear by 2100，a study published in the journal Nature Climate Change suggests.
Michalis Vousdoukas，of the European Union's Joint Research Center in Ispra，Italy，was the lead researchist. "Tourist areas which have sandy beaches as their main selling point will probably face strong consequences，" he said.Aside from economic value，beaches play an important environmental role. "Sandy beaches are important habitats supporting a wide range of species.They also protect the coast from the effects of storms，so without sandy beaches other inland environments can be affected by the effects of waves and saltwater entering，" Vousdoukas added.
The main causes are rising sea-level and erosion（侵蝕） from storms，the study says，which warned of the near-disappearance of almost half of the world's sandy beaches by the end of the century.Beaches in the United States will be "greatly affected"，as will shorelines in Canada，Mexico，China and Chile.In the U.S.，beaches along the East Coast and the Gulf Coast will experience the most erosion.
Michalis Vousdoukas and other researchers used satellite images to track the way beaches have changed over the past 30 years and patterned how global warming might affect them in the future.They found that West Africa will see some of the worst losses，where more than 60% of sandy coastline may be lost in countries such as The Gambia and Guinea-Bissau.Australia will also take a hit：when the total length of sandy beach projected to be lost is analyzed，Australia would be hit the hardest，with more than 7，000 miles at risk.
（1）What mainly caused the disappearance of half of the world's beaches？
A．Over population and more tourism.
B．Severe erosion and coastline losses.
C．Global warming and climate change.
D．Sea-level rise and storm destruction.
（2）Which country possibly loses more than half of sandy coastline according to the study？
A．Chile.
B．The Gambia.
C．Australia.
D．The United States.
（3）Why are beaches important to wildlife？
A．They can provide habitats for species.
B．They can block out waves and storms.
C．They can be popular tourist attractions.
D．They can stop erosion from happening.
（4）What is the author's purpose in writing this text？
A．To introduce beaches.
B．To make a comparison.
C．To protect environment.
D．To explain a study.組卷：1引用：3難度：0.5

It was dark and freezing cold outside though it was four o'clock in the afternoon. The wind kept blowing. At that time， the bell rang loudly， and everybody packed their schoolbags and got ready to go home. The teacher dismissed the students， and they walked orderly to the school gate.
David was in Class One，Grade Seven. His mother would come and pick him up from school but today she was absent. David wondered what had happened，but he was not worried at all. It usually took only ten minutes for his mother to get to school by riding an electric bike. David saw his best companion，Tommy，who was his deskmate. Tommy was waiting patiently for his mother as well. They began to talk freely and happily. David congratulated Tommy on his excellent performance in the last math exam. At the same time，Tommy thanked David， without whose help he couldn't have made such rapid progress. Five minutes later，Tommy's mother picked up Tommy and they said goodbye to each other.
David had to put up with his moments of solitude. He had no choice but to wait until his mother came into his sight. However， half an hour passed， and there was no sign that his mother would come. David was determined to walk home.
On his way home，David could hardly see any passers-by. The trees shook with the wind and the leaves fell from them without making any noise. David was lost in thinking what was wrong with his mother. Some terrible thoughts jumped out of his mind."Maybe an accident happened to her. Maybe she got hurt by some robbers. Maybe she was seriously ill." Little David burst into tears and quickened his step. He did not dare to think over the results. What he could do was pray for the safety of his mother and wish everything was all right.
Time slipped away like an arrow. In the short distance，it was his beautiful house with a garden."This must be the worst experience in my life，" David thought to himself and felt scared.
