While this may seem a little concern, it is in fact a significant environmental problem. The shortened hibernation period could actually lead to significant declines in the population of several species.Some of the first concrete evidence of the phenomenon came from Colorado, where researchers at the Rocky Mountain Biological lab have been observing marmot(旱獺)hibernation behavior since the 1970s. In the early days of their studies, marmots generally hibernated several weeks into the month of May. Nowadays, however, temperatures in the area have risen by 2. 5 degrees Fahrenheit, and the marmots wake up about a month earlier.At least the marmots are still hibernating. Several other animals have not been hibernating at all recently. Brown bears in the Spanish Cantabrian Mountains did not hibernate last year. In parts of the United States, chipmunks(花鼠)also skipped the hibernation period. The bears seem to have survived without losing many individuals. The chipmunks, however, were not so lucky. Many of the animals died of starvation during the winter.The problem with animals waking up early, or skipping hibernation altogether, lies with the creatures metabolism(新陳代謝). When the animals hibernate, their metabolism drops significantly. The animals heart rate slows, and they require very little energy to live. When the animals awake from their winter slumber, their metabolism returns to normal.But while their metabolism may be as active as it was before hibernation, food sources arent as available as they were before. A marmot may wake up when temperatures get warmer, thinking its spring, but plants will not have got the amount of sun they need to signal their spring period of growth. So until the plants grow, the marmots have no reliable food source.Many scientists believe the problem will continue to get worse. In addition to changes in hibernation patterns, some believe that other animals will also begin to change their migration patterns or begin to give birth earlier. For many biologists, thats a scary prospect. Terry Root, an animal expert at Stanford University, said, “I do think what we will be facing is the extinction of many species. ”【文章大意】全球變暖帶來的連鎖反應(yīng)是多方面的, 其中之一就是導(dǎo)致一些冬眠動(dòng)物的冬眠期縮短, 這會(huì)給這些動(dòng)物帶來巨大的影響。5. What is the viewpoint of the writer?A. Global warming will continue to get worse as time goes on.B. Global warming will lead to shortened hibernation of some animals.C. Shortened hibernation will result in declines in the population of animals.D. Some animals will skip hibernation altogether.【解析】選C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第一段最后一句話可知答案為C。6. The writer sets the example of the marmot so as to.A. explain that global warming influences animals hibernationB. indicate that the weather gets warmer and warmer nowC. show that the weather in the United States is quite differentD. say some animals do not hibernate now due to warm weather【解析】選A。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句話可知作者是想借這個(gè)例子來說明全球變暖使得動(dòng)物的冬眠期縮短了。7. The underlined word“slumber”in the fourth paragraph means“”.A. weatherB. activityC. nestD. sleep【解析】選D。詞義猜測(cè)題。聯(lián)系本句中的awake from可知答案為D項(xiàng)。8. Why cant marmots find enough food when they wake up?A. Because there are too many marmots in the wild now.B. Because plants havent received enough sunlight for spring growth.C. Because winter days end much earlier than before.D. Because more and more animal species skip hibernation now.【解析】選B。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由倒數(shù)第二段中的but plants will not have got the amount of sun they need to signal their spring period of growth可知答案為B項(xiàng)。9. Terry Root holds a(n)attitude towards the future of animals.A. optimisticB. doubtfulC. pessimisticD. sensitive【解析】選C。觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。根據(jù)文章最后一句話I do think what we will be facing is the extinction of many species. 可以看出他是持悲觀態(tài)度。. 閱讀第二節(jié)(2020·南陽模擬)Do you know what a big dream is? 1Or, is a big dream something that provides only entertainment? Children dream big dreams, but there are three barriers to realizing dreams. They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow.The SelfImmediately following the birth of a big dream, a negative self-talk takes over and gives all the reasons why it cannot happen. This inside voice is the ego(自我). Its there for protecting and should be listened to. 2Most people are influenced by the inside voice. Thats why only a handful of people make their dreams come true.3Family and friends are a lot like the ego. They want to protect those they love, so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams wont come true. Sometimes, family and friends destroy dreams of those they love most, out of their own fear of being left behind.The WorldIf one gets past the first two barriers, one has to face the world. 4In the past, big dreamers were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world. Fortunately, in most of the world today, big dreamers just get laughed at.The way to realize a big dream is with confidence and action. When children have confidence and then take action, they will be ready to accept any failure. The truth is that every great dreamer whose dreams have never seen the light of success knows failure well. 5A. Family and FriendsB. How Big Dreams DieC. Does a big dream show ones future?D. They simply fail until they succeed.E. Sometimes it is right, but more often it is wrong.F. It is the last and the most terrible barrier.G. And their big dream is to be a rock star or a famous artist.【文章大意】每一個(gè)人都懷有偉大的夢(mèng)想, 但是只有少數(shù)人才會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的遠(yuǎn)大抱負(fù)。本文主要介紹了造成大多人夢(mèng)想無法實(shí)現(xiàn)的一些內(nèi)在的和外在的因素。1. 【解析】選C。上下文邏輯聯(lián)系題。根據(jù)空格前面的問題和后面的問題, 從形式上看都是問句, 另外主題都是圍繞a big dream發(fā)問的, 同時(shí)結(jié)合同一詞的規(guī)律, 可知選C。2. 【解析】選E。上下文邏輯聯(lián)系題。根據(jù)前面的Its there for protecting and should be listened to. 指自我的保護(hù), 而結(jié)合上下文, 可知這種自我的保護(hù)有的時(shí)候是正確的, 有的時(shí)候是錯(cuò)誤的, 因此選E。3. 【解析】選A。段落標(biāo)題題。這種形式主要是對(duì)于下一個(gè)段落的主旨概括。主要從下一段中尋找關(guān)鍵核心詞等。根據(jù)段落中出現(xiàn)的Family and friends are a lot like the ego. 可知這一段要討論家人和朋友對(duì)于一個(gè)人夢(mèng)想的影響, 因此選A。4. 【解析】選F。上下文邏輯聯(lián)系題。根據(jù)第一段中提到有三個(gè)影響因素, 而這個(gè)空格前面的段落已經(jīng)涉及了兩個(gè)因素。再根據(jù)空格前面的If one gets past the first two barriers, one has to face the world. 可知這里要討論的是最后一個(gè)因素, 因此選F。5. 【解析】選D。上下文邏輯聯(lián)系題。根據(jù)同義詞的方法, D中的fail與前面一句話中的failure一致, 根據(jù)代詞指代的方法, D中的they指空格前面提到的every great dreamer, 因此選D。
