Climatic boundaries establish the limits which organisms can survive. Plant
41、s, even more than animals, must be well adapted to climate in order to survive. They cannot move about or take shelter but must be equipped to endure whatever weather conditions are likely to occur. In the harsh conditions of the tundra, for example, low growing mosses, lichens, and a few flowering
42、plants all hug the ground for shelter from icy winds.Animals, despite their ability to move about and find shelter, are just as much influenced by climate as plants are. Creatures such as the camel and the penguin are so highly specialized that they have an extremely limited distribution. Others, su
43、ch as bears are flexible enough to adapt to a broad range of climates. Oceandwelling organisms are just as sensitive to climatic changesin this case temperature and salinityas land animals.

48、s help them to adapt themselves to the environment（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.A warm-hearted nurse on her first days work came to a patient who had come to London for a visit to the famous doctor. She asked the patient whether there was anything that she could do for him. But he only waved his hand, shook his
49、head and said something she couldnt understand.
