  托福阅读句子简化题:Timberline Vegetation

  【Paragraph 4】There is still no universally agreed-on explanation for why there should be such a dramatic cessation of tree growth at the upper timberline. Various environmental factors may play a role. Too much snow, for example, can smother trees, and avalanches and snow creep can damage or destroy them. Late-lying snow reduces the effective growing season to the point where seedlings cannot establish themselves. Wind velocity also increases with altitude and may cause serious stress for trees, as is made evident by the deformed shapes at high altitudes. Some scientists have proposed that the presence of increasing levels of ultraviolet light with elevation may play a role, while  browsing and grazing animals like the ibex may be another contributing factor. Probably the most important environmental factor is temperature, for if the growing season is too short and temperatures are too low, tree shoots andbuds cannot mature sufficiently to survive the winter months.(Timberline Vegetation on Mountains)

  Which of the sentences below best express the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage?In correct choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.

  ○Because of their deformed shapes at high altitudes, trees are not likely to be seriously harmed by the strong winds typical of those altitudes.

  ○As altitude increases, the velocity of winds increase, leading to a serious decrease in the number of trees found at high altitudes.

  ○The deformed shapes of trees at high altitudes show that wind velocity, which increase with altitude, can cause serious hardship for trees.

  ○Increased wind velocity at high altitudes deforms the shapes of trees, and this may cause serious stress for trees.
