But that’s what animals are doing to deal with climate change. A new study shows that some animals are gradually (逐渐地) growing larger beaks (鸟喙), legs and ears. In this way, they can lose heat (温度) more easily to cool themselves down as the earth gets warmer. “A lot of the time when we talk about climate change, we ask ‘Can humans overcome (克服) this?’ But we should know that animals also have to get used to this,” said the study’s writer, Sara Ryding, from Australia. If animals fail to control their body temperature, they can overheat and die. In one example, the beaks of some Australian parrots (鹦鹉) have grown 4 to 10 percent larger since 1871. The study says it’s closely related (相关的) to higher summer temperatures over the years. Some other examples include wood mice. They have longer tails (尾巴). Masked shrews (假面鼩鼱) are getting longer tails and legs, and bats in warm climates have bigger wings (翅膀). Though the changes are still small, Ryding said they could be clearer as the days become hotter. Though animals are changing their body shapes, scientists still worry that it doesn’t mean everything is fine. It just means they are trying hard to live. Not all animals will succeed (成功), our humans (人类) won’t be successful, either. 根据材料内容，选择正确答案。 11. How do animals change to face climate change? A Australian parrots have bigger wings. B. Wood mice get longer mouths. C. Masked shrews grow larger beaks and ears. D. Bats’ wings become larger. 12. Which statement is right according to the text?

Larger beaks, legs and ears can help animals cool themselves. 13. Why do scientists worry about climate change? A. Animals will not be as pretty as before. B. Animals will have special abilities (能力) to change their sizes as they like. C. Animals will die out if they fail to deal with climate change. D. Animals will be mad and fight with humans. 14. What’s the main idea of the text? A. Human being can stop climate change. B. Climate change just affects animals a little. C. Many animals will die out because of climate change. D. Climate change affects both people and animals. 15. What will the writer talk about next? A. Humans should learn more about animals to get used to the climate change. B. Humans need to help animals to deal with the warmer climate. C. Humans have to take action (行动) right away to solve the problem of climate change. D. Scientists will help animals to get used to climate change. 【答案】11. D 12. D 13. C 14. D 15.

In this way, they can lose heat (温度) more easily to cool themselves down as the earth gets warmer.”可知，更大的喙、腿和耳朵能帮助动物降温。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据“If animals fail to control their body temperature, they can overheat and die”可知，科学家担心动物无法适应气候变化会死亡。故选C。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。全文通过动物形态变化说明气候变化的影响，最后一段提到“our humans (人类) won’t be successful, either.”来强调人类和动物都面临挑战。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。最后一段提到人类和动物都可能无法成功适应气候变化，接下来最可能呼吁人类采取行动。故选C。 D Once you learn how to ride a bike, you will never forget it.

B When Tina was eighteen years old and graduated (毕业) from her high school, her father said to her, “You just graduated. This is a car I bought a long time ago. But before I give it to you, drive it to a car dealer (交易商) in the city and see how much they offer (提供) for it.” Tina was doubtful (不确定) and didn’t know why her father asked her to do that. But she did it . Moments later, Tina came back and said to her father, “They just offer $500 because it looks very old.” Her father said, “OK. Now, drive it to the second-hand car dealer.” Tina returned to her father and said, “The answer is disappointing (失望的). They only offer $200 because it is a very old car and it needs a lot of work.” Lastly, he told Tina to show the car to a local car club. The club was full of car lovers. She returned and said to her father excitedly, “That’s surprising! Some people in the club offer me $5,000 because it is a rare car. The car is in good condition (状况) and it is really difficult to find.” Then her father smiled. He said, “I want to let you know that you are not worth anything if you are not in the right place. If you are not appreciated (赏识), do not be angry, that means you are in the wrong place. Don’t stay in a place where no one sees your value (价值).” 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 6.

But that’s what animals are doing to deal with climate change. A new study shows that some animals are gradually (逐渐地) growing larger beaks (鸟喙), legs and ears. In this way, they can lose heat (温度) more easily to cool themselves down as the earth gets warmer. “A lot of the time when we talk about climate change, we ask ‘Can humans overcome (克服) this?’ But we should know that animals also have to get used to this,” said the study’s writer, Sara Ryding, from Australia. If animals fail to control their body temperature, they can overheat and die. In one example, the beaks of some Australian parrots (鹦鹉) have grown 4 to 10 percent larger since 1871. The study says it’s closely related (相关的) to higher summer temperatures over the years. Some other examples include wood mice. They have longer tails (尾巴). Masked shrews (假面鼩鼱) are getting longer tails and legs, and bats in warm climates have bigger wings (翅膀). Though the changes are still small, Ryding said they could be clearer as the days become hotter. Though animals are changing their body shapes, scientists still worry that it doesn’t mean everything is fine. It just means they are trying hard to live. Not all animals will succeed (成功), our humans (人类) won’t be successful, either. 根据材料内容，选择正确答案。 11. How do animals change to face climate change? A. Australian parrots have bigger wings. B. Wood mice get longer mouths. C. Masked shrews grow larger beaks and ears. D. Bats’ wings become larger. 12. Which statement is right according to the text? A. “Shape-shifting” only happens in science-fiction movies. B. It took elephants over 150 years to grow 4 to 10 percent larger. C. We can easily find the changes of animals. D. Larger beaks, legs and ears can help animals cool themselves. 13. Why do scientists worry about climate change? A. Animals will not be as pretty as before. B. Animals will have special abilities (能力) to change their sizes as they like. C. Animals will die out if they fail to deal with climate change. D. Animals will be mad and fight with humans. 14. What’s the main idea of the text? A. Human being can stop climate change. B. Climate change just affects animals a little. C. Many animals will die out because of climate change. D. Climate change affects both people and animals. 15. What will the writer talk about next? A. Humans should learn more about animals to get used to the climate change. B. Humans need to help animals to deal with the warmer climate. C. Humans have to take action (行动) right away to solve the problem of climate change. D. Scientists will help animals to get used to climate change. D Once you learn how to ride a bike, you will never forget it. Most of us learnt it when we were kids, and many still go around on a bike.
