This phenomenon, known as sea-level rise, is a result of the melting of polar ice caps and the expansion of seawater as it warms. The consequences of sea-level rise are severe and multifaceted, affecting both human settlements and natural ecosystems.One of the most immediate impacts is the increased frequency of flooding in coastal areas. Homes and businesses are at greater risk of being submerged during high tides or extreme weather events. This not only causes significant financial loss but also displaces residents and disrupts local economies.Another consequence is the erosion of coastal land. As sea levels rise, the natural barriers that protect coastal areas from the ocean’s force are eroded away. This leads to the loss of beaches, wetlands, and other critical habitats for wildlife. The disappearance of these habitats can have devastating effectson local biodiversity.Despite these challenges, many coastal cities are taking proactive measures to mitigate the impacts of sea-level rise. Some are constructing sea walls and flood barriers to protect against flooding. Others are investing in sustainable infrastructure, such as green roofs and permeable pavements, which can absorb excess water and reduce runoff.Questions:1.What is the main cause of sea-level rise mentioned in the passage?A. The melting of polar ice caps.B. The expansion of seawater as it warms.C. Both A and B.D. Human activities only.2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a consequence of sea-level rise?A. Increased frequency of flooding.B. Loss of coastal land.C. Improved agricultural productivity.D. Disruption of local economies.3.What are some of the measures that coastal cities are taking to mitigate the impacts of sea-level rise?A. Constructing sea walls and flood barriers.B. Investing in sustainable infrastructure.C. Promoting the use of traditional building materials.D. Both A and B.Answers:1.C. Both A and B.2.C. Improved agricultural productivity.3.D. Both A and B.三、完型填空（15分）Section III: ClozeRead the following passage and choose the best word for each blank from the options given below.In the small town of Greenfield, the [1] of the community was brought toa standstill when a rare and beautiful butterfly, the Greenfield Blue, was found[2] a local park.
