As more and more people came to live here, trees were cut down. Now there is 1 large forest left, though there are still some small areas covered with trees. We call them woods. Elephants, tigers and many 2 animals were living in the thick forest. When people came to Hong Kong, some 3 began to die out. Early farmers grew rice and 4 pigs and chickens in the valleys. They needed 5 to keep themselves warm, cook food and keep away dangerous animals, so they kept cutting down trees. Elephants quickly disappeared (消失) because there was not enough food for them. 6 did most of the wolves and tigers. Monkeys and many other animals also died in the 7 way. You might think that there are no wild animals in Hong Kong except in the 8 . In fact, there are still many different kinds of animals living here. Among the most interesting ones is the barking deer (赤麂). They are beautiful little animals with a brown coat. Here, the barking deer has only a real enemy— 9 . Some of them still hunt these animals though it is illegal (非法的). There are now not many barking deer left.

Their legs are like trees. They usually walk slowly because they are so big, but they walk very quietly. The elephants living in the forests usually stay together in big families. Usually one old elephant leads (带领) them. The others follow (跟随) their leader. They usually move about at night, looking for food. In the hot daytime, they go to sleep in the cool shade of the trees. Elephants are kind animals. When one of them is hurt (受伤) and cannot walk well, the other elephants help it to walk. Some people say that elephants never forget.

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。 1．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. 2．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. 3．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. 4．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. 5．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】1．D 2．D 3．C 4．D 5．C 【解析】本文主要介绍了气候的变化对动物带来了压力，我们需要采取措施来改变。 1．细节理解题。根据“and bats in warm climates have bigger wings (翅膀).”可知，蝙蝠的翅膀变大是应对气候变化的例子。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“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.”可知，更大的喙、腿和耳朵能帮助动物降温。故选D。 3．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。 4．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。 5．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。 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Lesson3 The elephants’ journey home 一、英汉互译 ① in the fields ___________ ② in the wild ______________ ③ 警察 ____________ ④ be home to ______________ ⑤ as well as ____________ ⑥ first-class protection ______________ 2、 单项选择 1．We should protect the ________ in our community.
