Exposure to extreme heat can severely harm crop growth and development,and it is essential to assess such exposure accurately to minimize risks to crop pro-duction.However,the actual distribution of crops and its changes have neither been examined in sufficient detail nor integrated into the assessments of exposure to ensure their accuracy.By examining the distribution of maize at a high resolution through species distribution modeling,we assessed the past and future exposure of maize to temper-atures above 37℃worldwide.Such exposure is likely to be widespread and severe,mainly in the subtropics,and may even expand to the mid-latitudes to encompass some major maize-producing areas.Many areas at both high and low latitudes may become exposed for the first time in the next 20 years.By the 2050s,the total area exposed could increase by up to 185%to 308.18 million ha,of which the area exposed for over 60 days may increase nearly sev-enfold.The average length of exposure may increase by 69%to 27 days,and areas optimally suited to maize planting may see the fastest increase by up to 772%.Extreme heat can threaten global maize production severely,and measures to mitigate that threat and to adapt to it are urgently needed.

当前的道德教育中仍存在人文关怀匮乏以及教育的亲和力不够等问题,需要将人文关怀理念有机融入道德教育.人文关怀理念融入道德教育是以追求人的道德完善与创建美好生活为根本旨向的一种实践思维,是道德教育回归生活世界的内在逻辑,也是道德教育凸显人文精神、和谐精神的现实观照.道德教育践行人文关怀理念的价值追求在于,引导受教育者学会共同生活,促进受教育者个性健康发展,塑造受教育者的和谐人格.在彰显人文关怀的道德教育实践中,平等关系、仁爱品质、公正准则和道德责任是道德教育者应持有的伦理取向.
