【2题详解】

When you hear the word “shapeshifting (变身)”, you may think of magic in some movies and not the climate. But that’s what animals are doing to go on living in the world.
A new study shows that some animals are slowly growing larger beaks, legs and ears. In this way they can cool themselves down more easily as the Earth gets warmer. When we talk about the climate change, we often ask “What can humans do with this ” “How can we live in the future ” “But we should know that animals also have to face these changes,” said Sara Ryding, from Deakin University, Australia. If animals do nothing to keep their normal body temperature, they will die.
In one example, the beaks of some kinds of Australian parrots have grown 4 to 10 percent larger. The study says it has a lot to do with the hotter summer over the years. There are other similar examples. Wood mice have longer tails and bats in warm climates have bigger wings.
Although the changes are still small, they could be common as the weather becomes hotter. “Body parts like ears may become bigger, so we might be able to see a real Dumbo (big-eared elephant from a Disney cartoon) in the near future,” Ryding told the reporters.
4. Why do animals grow bigger body parts
A. To become stronger. B. To enjoy a better life.
C. To find food easily. D. To keep normal body temperature.
5. How many animals are mentioned in Paragraph 3
A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.
6. What does the underlined word “they” refer to in the last paragraph
A. Changes. B. Tails. C. Wings. D. Examples.
7. What does the text mainly tell us
A. Why climate changes so much. B. When the climate starts to change.
C. How animals deal with hotter weather. D. What the weather will be like in the future.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍动物为适应环境变化进行“变身”。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In this way they can cool themselves down more easily as the Earth gets warmer.(这样，当地球变暖时，它们可以更容易地冷却自己)”可知，动物身体部位变得更大是为了让自己更容易保持凉爽，以保持它们的正常体温。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“In one example, the beaks of some kinds of Australian parrots have grown 4 to 10 percent larger.(在一个例子中，某些种类的澳大利亚鹦鹉的喙长了4%到10%)”以及“Wood mice have longer tails and bats in warm climates have bigger wings.(木鼠有更长的尾巴，温暖气候下的蝙蝠有更大的翅膀)”可知，提到澳大利亚鹦鹉、木鼠和蝙蝠共3种。故选B。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Although the changes are still small”以及后文“could be common as the weather becomes hotter”可知尽管变化很小，但是随着天气更热变化会变得常见。故they指“changes”。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“When you hear the word “shapeshifting (变身)”, you may think of magic in some movies and not the climate. But that’s what animals are doing to go on living in the world.(当你听到“变身”这个词时，你可能会想到一些电影中的魔法，而不是气候。但这就是动物们为了在这个世界上生存而做的事情)”结合本文主要讲应对环境温度变热，动物身体出现的变化，可推断文章主要讲述动物如何应对更热的天气。故选C。

【16题详解】
根据后文“and can sometimes lead to problems (有时会导致问题)”可知，这里的主语应是指前文提及一系列“忘事”，因此，设空的主语应是对前文有所指代。选项C“These kinds of things happen to us all the time (这种事经常发生在我们身上)”中的“These kinds of things”就是对前文“忘事”内容的指代，且在句意上与后文衔接紧密，符合分析。故选C项。
【17题详解】

【19题详解】
根据该段小标题“No more disasters (不再有灾难)”可知，该段主要讲述智能家居对常见家庭灾害的预警和处理。设空作为该段首句，应是呼应主旨，同时对小标题起到进一步解释。选项G“Smart homes will be able to prevent serious damage from accidents (智能家居将能够防止事故造成的严重损害)”是对小标题的进一步解释，呼应该段主旨，且与后文“For example, if a water pipe starts leaking, or if there is a short in the electrical wiring, your smart home will detect it and provide you with the relevant information.(例如，如果水管开始漏水，或者如果电线有短路，你的智能家居会检测到它并为你提供相关信息。)”构成举例关系，符合分析。故选G项。
【20题详解】
根据前文“This smart technology is not a fantasy. (这种智能技术并不是幻想。)”可知，智能家居技术已不是幻想，那么设空紧跟其后，讲述为什么不是幻想。选项D“Many of these new inventions are already available (这些新发明中有许多已经可用)”提到很多有关智能家居的发明已经可用，论证了“不是幻想”，且与后文“being used in some homes (在一些家庭中使用)”构成了并列逻辑关系，符合分析。故选D项。

【36题详解】
考查连词。句意：那里有很多旅鸽，人们经常看到成千上万甚至数百万只旅鸽从头顶飞过。根据句意，此处表示的是“如此……以至于……”；so ….+that…表示“如此……以至于……”。故填that。

【38题详解】
考查动词。句意：所有旅鸽是如何以惊人的速度从地球上完全消失的？分析句子结构可知，空格处需要填入谓语动词，根据前文“However, there is not a single one ___2___ (leave) today.”可知，此处指的是“旅鸽是如何快速消失的”。appear意为“出现”，其反义词为disappear；此处为特殊疑问句，空格前已经有助动词did，所以此处填动词原形。故填disappear。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意：所有旅鸽是如何以惊人的速度从地球上完全消失的？空格处位于名词之前，因此需要填入形容词，修饰名词。alarm的形容词为alarming，意为“使人惊恐的；令人惊慌的”。故填alarming。

【42题详解】

【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意：当时，当局没有制定狩猎法来保护濒危物种，所以灭绝的速度比以往任何时候都要快。空格处位于名词之前，修饰名词；因此需要填入形容词。endanger的形容词为endangered，意为“濒危的”。故填endangered。
【44题详解】

【45题详解】
考查被动语态与主谓一致。句意：到目前为止，政府已经采取了许多措施来保护野生动物免于灭绝。分析句子结构可知，空格处需要填入谓语动词，“许多措施”是被采取，所以需要使用被动语态，句子的时间状语为“Up to now”，所以需要使用现在完成时的被动语态，主语为many measures为复数，所以助动词用have。故填have been taken。

The pike is a kind of freshwater fish. They are good swimmers and like swimming near boats, waiting to be fed. They have sharp teeth to catch fishes. When they are young, they live in groups. However, when they grow up, they prefer to live alone.
Cuttlefish
A cuttlefish can swim quite fast, so it is also called rocket (火箭) fish. It has eight arms and two feelers on its head, just around its mouth. It ejects ink (喷墨) when it is in danger. Its meat is delicious, and it is often the first choice for many people.

When you hear the word “shapeshifting (变身)”, you may think of magic in some movies and not the climate. But that’s what animals are doing to go on living in the world.
A new study shows that some animals are slowly growing larger beaks, legs and ears. In this way they can cool themselves down more easily as the Earth gets warmer. When we talk about the climate change, we often ask “What can humans do with this ” “How can we live in the future ” “But we should know that animals also have to face these changes,” said Sara Ryding, from Deakin University, Australia. If animals do nothing to keep their normal body temperature, they will die.
In one example, the beaks of some kinds of Australian parrots have grown 4 to 10 percent larger. The study says it has a lot to do with the hotter summer over the years. There are other similar examples. Wood mice have longer tails and bats in warm climates have bigger wings.
Although the changes are still small, they could be common as the weather becomes hotter. “Body parts like ears may become bigger, so we might be able to see a real Dumbo (big-eared elephant from a Disney cartoon) in the near future,” Ryding told the reporters.
4. Why do animals grow bigger body parts
A. To become stronger. B. To enjoy a better life.
C. To find food easily. D. To keep normal body temperature.
5. How many animals are mentioned in Paragraph 3
A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.
6. What does the underlined word “they” refer to in the last paragraph
A. Changes. B. Tails. C. Wings. D. Examples.
7. What does the text mainly tell us
A. Why climate changes so much. B. When the climate starts to change.
C. How animals deal with hotter weather. D. What the weather will be like in the future.

A new app will soon help more than 50,000 Israeli students learn English through popular music.
“There is so much research out there that shows how music can help students learn,” says Michael Peled, founder and CEO of Singit.“Getting kids to interact (互动) with words in real life through music is a very useful learning tool, and we are finding that it also works for dyslexic (朗读困难的) and special education students.”
Students can listen on their phones or computers to music from a sea of songs and follow along with the lyrics a on the screen. When they see a word that they don’t recognize, they can click (点击) the word. With the help of AI and Machine Learning technology, Singit offers other songs with the words they didn’t know. After hearing the song, students are given a test that tests them for the words they clicked on. Meanwhile, teachers can send students customized grammar tests.
“We work with a company called LyricFind that provides more than five million songs. Most schools won’t want to have many types of songs due to educational considerations, but that will still leave more than 100,000 songs they can hear,” Peled says.
“The first version (版本) of the app we built in 2017 was bad, but by 2019, we had a new version, and we tested it throughout 2020,” Peled says. Pilot tests show that the app increased students’ interaction with the English language by 62%.“ Singit was recently recognized by the Ministry of Education. Many schools, including ten special education schools, have already chosen the app,” Peled adds.“ By the end of the year, we will have about 53,000 users around the countr.” Peled has big plans for Singit.“ We are going to introduce Singit to Asia, Brazil, and other places where they teach English as a second language.”

Any visitor to the Chinese Culture Week being held at the University of Tehran (德黑兰) would be amazed by the Chinese tea, food, and various artworks, like Chinese knotting and traditional paper cutting-all displayed by Iranian students learning Chinese.
“Chinese knots are believed to bring good luck and act as charms that can keep evil spirits away,” Zeinab Ghafourian, a 19-year-old senior studying Chinese at the Confucius Institute (孔子学院) of the University of Tehran, told Xinhua on Tuesday.
The Chinese Culture Week, which started at the university last Saturday and will last till Wednesday, aims to introduce Chinese culture to more Iranians. The event displayed a range of artworks that contain different elements of Chinese culture, produced by Iranian professors and students at the university.
On the reasons why she chose to study the Chinese language Ghafourian said that she has been interested in East Asian cultures even since childhood. “In addition, the Chinese films have become more and more popular,” she said.
