Unit 4Wildlife protection.閱讀理解With weather getting warmer,animals have begun to change in response to the new condition.And some of them have become smaller.Some scientists thought this might be an adaptation to a warmer world; smaller bodies should be able to lose heat better.But now a new study has found that for red knot birds,thats not the case.Ecologist Jan van Gils and his colleagues have been studying these birds for 33 years.Over the course of their research,van Gils and his team have found that in Russia where the red knots summer,snowmelt and spring have been advancing by half a day per year on average.Over more than thirty years,the researchers caught and measured nearly 2,000 birds.In years when the snowmelt had arrived particularly early,the birds were likely to be smaller and have shorter bills (鳥(niǎo)嘴).The birds leave the coast of Western Africa,where they winter,and fly north toward Russia.The birds are supposed to arrive in spring,so they can lay their eggs and when their chicks hatch out,there will be a wealth of arthropod (節(jié)肢動(dòng)物) insects to feed their young.But even though the red knots are advancing their arrival date by about a quarter of a day per year,it is not enough to keep up with the snowmelt.And in years when the snowmelt arrives early,the arthropods reach the greatest quantity before the birds need them.Therefore,chicks miss out on eating well and they grow up to be smaller and have shorter bills.Being smaller and having a shorter bill isnt a problem in Russiabut it is in Africa.There,adult birds feed on thin-shelled bivalves (雙殼貝類(lèi)),Loripes lucinalis.But the bivalves are buried deep.However,other options,Dosinia isocardia bivalves and seagrass rhizomes (根莖),which only the youngest birds rely on,are not abundant or nutritious.Van Gils and his colleagues found that,in their first year,shorter-billed red knots dont survive as well in Africa.The majority of birds that survive are the long-billed birds.1.How did Jan van Gils and his colleagues reach the conclusion?A.By comparing red knots with other birds.B.By dividing 2,000 red knots into several groups.C.By watching and examining red knots for three decades.D.By analyzing studies that have been published in Science.2.What influence does early snowmelt have on red knots?A.Their chicks dont have enough to eat.B.Their eggs take more time to hatch out.C.They need to find other places for summer.D.They arrive in Russia half a day earlier each year.3.Why do few adult short-billed red knots survive in Africa?A.Because they cant find arthropod insects to eat.B.Because they cant access Loripes lucinalis bivalves.C.Because Dosinia isocardia bivalves they need are rare.D.Because seagrass rhizomes they feed on are not nutritious.4.Whats the purpose of the text?A.To tell a story. B.To provide facts.C.To make an announcement.D.To put forward suggestions.語(yǔ)篇解讀:本文是說(shuō)明文。研究表明受到全球變暖的影響,在融雪期特別早的年份孵化出來(lái)的紅腹濱鷸會(huì)體格變小、鳥(niǎo)嘴變短,這直接影響它們的生存。答案及剖析:1.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的Ecologist Jan van Gils and his colleagues have been studying these birds for 33 years.及Over more than thirty years,the researchers caught and measured nearly 2,000 birds.可知,Jan van Gils和他的同事通過(guò)追蹤研究紅腹濱鷸30余年才得出了他們的結(jié)論。2.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的And in years when the snowmelt arrives early,the arthropods reach the greatest quantity before the birds need them.Therefore,chicks miss out on eating well可知,如果融雪期提前到來(lái)的話(huà),等紅腹濱鷸的幼鳥(niǎo)孵化出來(lái)時(shí),它們已經(jīng)錯(cuò)過(guò)了節(jié)肢動(dòng)物數(shù)量最多的時(shí)候,因此沒(méi)有足夠的食物吃。3.B推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的adult birds feed on thin-shelled bivalves,Loripes lucinalis.But the bivalves are buried deep可推測(cè),Loripes lucinalis這種貝類(lèi)在地下比較深的地方,因此嘴短的紅腹濱鷸吃不到它們,影響生存。4.B寫(xiě)作目的題。通讀全文可知,本文介紹了在融雪期特別早的年份孵化出來(lái)的紅腹濱鷸會(huì)體格變小、鳥(niǎo)嘴變短,從而直接影響它們生存的事實(shí)。故B項(xiàng)正確。.七選五(2018 安徽江淮十校4月聯(lián)考)Teens are certainly confusing and complicated, but there is one thing thats clear about them: More than anything else, they want to fit in with their peers.They want and need to stay connected.Without connection, they feel lonely, anxious and sad,1. Teens, like adults,run into all sorts of dilemmas with their friends.Friendships are neither all good nor all bad.As an adult, you have experience with these sorts of friends and have made your own adjustments in these relationships.Given both your own life experience and your concern for your teens, youre in an excellent position to help your teens set boundaries with friends.Certainly,some friendships are worth maintaining, while some are not,2.There are many ways you can help your teens handle these relationships effectively.Here are some steps I would suggest taking: Teach your teens to label their feelings.They need to know what it is that they are feeling first to effectively set limits and boundaries with friends.Help them label setbacks, exhaustion, disappointment and anger.This is no small task.Many kids struggle with labeling their feelings.3.If they sense that something is wrong in a friendship, theyre probably right,and they need to quit it as soon as possible. Explain to your teens that they cant be all things to all friends.And let them know that friendships are most likely to grow and continue if they feel good about them.Discuss different ways to set boundaries.Explain to your kids that just as it makes sense to say yes at times,4.Just as its fine to spend lots of time with a friend during the week,its equally OK to spend less time with the same friend when that friend is being too demanding or needy. Look at your behavior in relationships.5.They are quietly watching your every move.So make sure youre setting a good example for them to follow in your relationships as well.
