Large numbers of stinging jellyfish(水母) have attacked bathers(浴客) in the Mediterranean this summer. Researchers said it was the result of climate change and overfishing of the jellyfish’s natural enemies and competitors for food. While the species that reach European beaches aren't considered deadly to humans, some like the purple jellyfish have a very painful sting(蜇) that can cause severe swelling(肿胀) and an allergic(过敏的) reaction.

The Spanish Red Cross is reported to have treated more than 19,000 bathers for jellyfish stings in the famous Costa Brava resort(度假胜地) region alone. Government officials have sent out boats to net the jellyfish before they reach shallow water, and many Spanish beaches have been closed. Resorts in Italy and France have also been badly affected(影响). These warmer, saltier waters allow open-sea jellyfish species to reach the shore, where cooler

waters had once acted as a barrier(障碍) to them, researchers explain.

Scientists in Italy said higher sea temperatures have allowed the jellyfish to move north from Africa. Several other recent studies throughout Europe have similarly concluded that increases in jellyfish populations are being caused by global warming.

Peter Richardson of the Marine Conservation Society, based in Ross-on-Wye, England, says warmer seas are

thought to increase the production of the plankton(浮游生物) on which jellyfish feed. “In cooler waters like the northeast Atlantic and the Mediterranean, these warmer water temperatures are thought to lead to great numbers of jellyfish. With climate change, it’s likely that we will see larger numbers in the future, as sea temperatures increase”．

33．What is the main reason for jellyfish appearing in European beaches? A．The cold water B．Global warming C．Clean water D．More fish

34．Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A．Make full use of jellyfish B．Jellyfish’s natural enemies

C．Jellyfish do harm to European bathers D．The way jellyfish live in water

35．What can we learn from the passage?

.

.

A．Jellyfish feed on plankton living in water.

B．The purple jellyfish’s stings don't make people feel very painful.

C．The Spanish Red Cross has treated about 1,000 bathers for jellyfish stings. D．Higher sea temperatures have allowed the jellyfish to move south from Africa. 答案：
