　　For humans,adapting to climate change will mostly be a matter of technology.More air conditioning,better-designed houses and bigger flood defences may help lessen the effects of a warmer world.However,animals will have to rely on changing their bodies or their behaviour.In a paper published in Trends in Ecology & Evolution,a team led by Sara Ryding,a professor in Australia,shows that is already happening.In some species of Australian parrots,for instance,beak size has increased by between 4% and 10% since 1871.Similar trends are seen in species of mice and bats growing bigger ears,tails,legs and wings.
All that fits nicely with evolutionary theory.“Allen’s rule”,named after Joel Allen,who suggested it in 1877,holds that warm-blooded animals in hot places tend to have larger appendages (附加物) than those in mild areas.Such adaptations boost an animal’s surface area relative to its body volume,helping it to get rid of additional heat.Fennec foxes,meanwhile,which are native to the Sahara Desert,have strikingly large ears,especially compared with their Arctic cousins.
Ryding’s team combined data from different species in different places.Now that they have little in common apart from living on a warming planet,climate change is the most reasonable explanation.Since any evolutionary adaptation comes with trade-offs,it is unclear how far the process might go.Bigger beaks might interfere with feeding,for instance.Larger wings are heavier,and bigger legs cost more energy to grow.
Honestly,studying a broader range of animals will help firm up exactly what is happening.For now,at least,the increase is small,never much more than 10%.That may change as warming accelerates.Every little bit of avoided future temperature increases results in less warming that would otherwise stay for essentially forever.

　　Disastrous floods are becoming increasingly common around the world.The warming climate is leading to heavier rainfall,but as cities expand,more and more land is under concrete or pavement,less water is absorbed,increasing the burden on storm drains and sewerage (排水系统).When the drains and sewerage are overwhelmed by excessive water,the risk of floods increases.Could urban expansion be making things worse Could we design cities in a different way to reduce the risk of floods
Chinese landscape architect Yu Kongjian certainly thinks so.In 2012,he proposed the concept of “Sponge City (海绵城市)”,aiming to make urban areas absorb and retain water like sponges to reduce the risk of sudden floods.The approach promotes natural solutions,such as riverside parks and ponds,to absorb floodwater.Auckland,New Zealand,serves as an example of applying the “Sponge City” concept.It has replaced the concrete culverts (涵洞) around the Oakley Creek with vegetated banks and connected parks.This has reduced floods in nearby residential areas as well as the amount of pollutants which used to be washed into the sea.
Auckland has taken a natural approach,but a much more high-tech method can be seen in Amsterdam.This city has installed blue-green roofs on a number of buildings.These roofs have a layer of plants on the outside,and then layers beneath which collect and store rainwater.This water can be used by people to water plants or wash toilets.Advanced software can even instruct the roofs to release water ahead of upcoming storms to maximise the system’s ability to absorb rainwater.
Yu Kongjian describes the “Sponge City” approach as practising tai chi with nature rather than boxing against it.Questions have been raised as to whether a natural approach is sufficient,
given increased rainfall globally.What remains to be seen is whether expanding the “Sponge City” approach and combination with modern technology can help protect more people from floods.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了全球洪水频发的原因以及如何通过“海绵城市”的设计来减少城市的洪水风险。
(　　)1.What may cause the risk of city floods
[A]The city size.
[B]The city design.
[C]The city location.
[D]The city population.
(　　)2.Which of the following fail to serve as “sponges”
[A]Riverside parks. [B]Ponds.
[C]Blue-green roofs. [D]Culverts.
(　　)3.What can be inferred about the “Sponge City” approach from the last paragraph
[A]It uses boxing with nature.
[B]It works well without doubt.
[C]Its further function still needs testing.
[D]It is sufficient for future floods.
(　　)4.What’s the main idea of the text
[A]How the “Sponge City” approach could prevent urban floods.
[B]Why the concept of “Sponge City” was proposed.
[C]Why floods are becoming more and more common.
[D]How the natural approach combines with the high-tech method.

Ⅱ.七选五(共5题;每题2.5分,共12.5分)
How to prepare for a wildfire
Wildfires can severely damage the ecosystem.They can burn vast amounts of vegetation,
leaving countless animals and plants without habitats.Wildfires also pose a great threat to human life.They can destroy houses and infrastructure,forcing residents to evacuate (撤离) urgently,
resulting in huge economic losses.So it is crucial to prepare for wildfires in advance.
To do this effectively,it’s very important to understand how wildfires operate.Many people think wildfires destroy homes because a wall of flames (火焰) moves across the landscape.
1.　　　.Now that you know what a wildfire is,here’s how you can protect your home and your family.
2.　　　.
Creating a defensible space around your home acts as a barrier against wildfire flames.Home hardening involves using fire-resistant materials in construction.Investing in these measures significantly lowers the risk of wildfire damage to your home.
Remove dead tree branches.
Similar to dry leaves,dead tree branches are dry,which means they can catch fire easily.If you have any branches hanging from trees or lying in your yard,remove them as soon as possible.The same rule applies when removing dead tree branches:3.　　　.
Create an evacuation plan.
Families should make an evacuation plan and practise it well before an emergency occurs.
Knowing when to leave and being able to evacuate quickly is crucial.4.　　　.Then plan your primary and alternative evacuation routes,and prepare emergency supplies and store them in an easily accessible location.
Make sure gutters (水槽) are made of metal.
5.　　　.Fix metal gutter covers to reduce leaf litter and windblown debris.This will reduce the risk of flammable materials (可燃物质) catching fire and spreading to your home.Avoid using a pressure washer on the gutters as it can damage them or tear them off completely.
A.Do not store them close to the house
B.Replace plastic gutters with metal ones
C.Things we all have are around our homes
D.It’s important to keep away from wildfires
E.Build defensible spaces and harden your home
F.Set a meeting place for all family members first
G.Actually,it’s tiny windblown things that destroy most of them
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了预防野火的几个措施。
1.【答案】 G
【解析】 根据设空处前一句可知,很多人对野火有误解,认为是火墙摧毁了房屋。由此可推知,此处应陈述真正摧毁房屋的是什么。G项符合语境。故选G。
2.【答案】 E
【解析】 此处为小标题,应概括本段主要内容。根据下文可知,本段主要建议我们建造一个防御空间并用耐火材料加固家。E项符合语境。故选E。
3.【答案】 A
【解析】 根据上文“The same rule applies when removing dead tree branches”可知,此处要补充说明另一个类似的防火建议。A项符合语境,即不要把枯树枝储存在房屋附近。故选A。
4.【答案】 F
【解析】 根据设空处下文中的“Then”可推知,此处说明撤离的第一个步骤,F项符合语境。故选F。
5.【答案】 B
【解析】 根据设空处下文内容可知,本段主要建议人们要使用金属水槽。B项符合语境,同时引出下文内容。故选B。

In the second half of each year,many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas.Of these,only about half a dozen become the strong,circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that are called hurricanes,and several usually make their way to the coast.There they cause millions of dollars of damage,and bring death to large numbers of people.
The great storms that hit the coast start as soft circling wind hundreds—even thousands—of miles out to sea.As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun,they are carried westward by the southeast winds.When conditions are just right,warm,moist (潮湿的) air flows in at the bottom of such a wind,moves upward through it and comes out at the top.In the process,the moisture in this warm air produces rain,and with it the heat is changed to energy in the form of strong winds.As the heat increases,the young hurricane begins to move in a counter-clockwise motion(逆时针运动).
The life of a hurricane is only about nine days,but it contains almost more power than we can imagine.The energy in the heat released by a hurricane’s rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months.Water,not wind,is the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane.A typical hurricane brings 6 to 12 inch downpours,causing sudden floods.Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea—the mountains of water moving towards the hurricane centre.The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves towards the shore.

How to prepare for a wildfire
Wildfires can severely damage the ecosystem.They can burn vast amounts of vegetation,
leaving countless animals and plants without habitats.Wildfires also pose a great threat to human life.They can destroy houses and infrastructure,forcing residents to evacuate (撤离) urgently,
resulting in huge economic losses.So it is crucial to prepare for wildfires in advance.
To do this effectively,it’s very important to understand how wildfires operate.Many people think wildfires destroy homes because a wall of flames (火焰) moves across the landscape.
1.　　　.Now that you know what a wildfire is,here’s how you can protect your home and your family.
2.　　　.
Creating a defensible space around your home acts as a barrier against wildfire flames.Home hardening involves using fire-resistant materials in construction.Investing in these measures significantly lowers the risk of wildfire damage to your home.
Remove dead tree branches.
Similar to dry leaves,dead tree branches are dry,which means they can catch fire easily.If you have any branches hanging from trees or lying in your yard,remove them as soon as possible.The same rule applies when removing dead tree branches:3.　　　.
Create an evacuation plan.
Families should make an evacuation plan and practise it well before an emergency occurs.
Knowing when to leave and being able to evacuate quickly is crucial.4.　　　.Then plan your primary and alternative evacuation routes,and prepare emergency supplies and store them in an easily accessible location.
Make sure gutters (水槽) are made of metal.
5.　　　.Fix metal gutter covers to reduce leaf litter and windblown debris.This will reduce the risk of flammable materials (可燃物质) catching fire and spreading to your home.Avoid using a pressure washer on the gutters as it can damage them or tear them off completely.
A.Do not store them close to the house
B.Replace plastic gutters with metal ones
C.Things we all have are around our homes
D.It’s important to keep away from wildfires
E.Build defensible spaces and harden your home
F.Set a meeting place for all family members first
G.Actually,it’s tiny windblown things that destroy most of them
