The populations of common animals are just as likely to rise or fall in number in a time of accelerating global warming as those of rare species,a study suggests.
Until recently,scientists were still accumulating data on how animal populations were shifting over time globally across the different regions of the planet.
Making use of the newly available data,a team of University of Edinburgh researchers studied nearly 10，000 animal populations recorded in the Living Planet Database between 1970 and 2014 to provide a new perspective on animal population change.These include records of mammals,reptiles,sharks,fish,birds and amphibians.
The team found that 15 percent of all populations declined during the period,while 18 percent increased and 67 percent showed no significant change.Amphibians were the only group in which population sizes declined,while birds,mammals and reptiles experienced increases.The overall decline in amphibians makes them a priority for conservation efforts,researchers say,as their loss could have knock-on effects in food chains and wider ecosystems.
Gergana Daskalova,of the University of Edinburgh's School of GeoSciences,who led the study,said, "We often assume that declines in animal numbers are prevalent everywhere.But we found that there are also many species which have increased over the last half of a century,such as those which do well in human-transformed landscapes or those which are the focus of conservation actions. "
Dr.Isla Myers -Smith,also of the School of GeoSciences,who co-authored the study,said,"Only as we bring together data from around the world,can we begin to really understand how global change is influencing the biodiversity of our planet. "
4. With the global temperature rising,what happens to the animals？ ______
A. Rare animal species tend to decline.
B. Common animal species tend to increase.
C. The population of common animals changes just like rare ones.
D. Global warming is accelerating with the loss of animal species.
5. How did scientists carry out the study？ ______
A. By recording the data of animals.
B. By studying animals' behavior.
C. By comparing different studies.
D. By analyzing existing information.
6. What does the underlined word "prevalent" in Paragraph 5 mean？ ______
A. common. B. sharp. C. steady. D. relative.
7. What is Dr.Isla Myers-Smith's attitude toward the study？ ______
A. Subjective. B. Optimistic. C. Objective. D. Pessimistic.
C
Like many of us,Brittney Woodrum had a lot of plans for 2020.The University of Denver graduate student was going to travel the world and continue her work for the various non-governmental organizations（NGOs）she'd been working for before graduate school.However,when a serious infectious disease started,Woodrum began to accept that her travel plans would have to be put on hold.But what she couldn't accept was staying at home and "waiting this thing out".
So,the Kentucky native began to look for an organization she could partner with to get the most out of her newly flexible schedule.She quickly found and committed to ShelterBox - a mostly volunteer - run organization that provides emergency shelter and tools for displaced families around the world - recognized internationally by the green box which physically holds the relief products.She joined as an ambassadress and learned that participating in physically challenging projects with the bluish-green box was central to the organization's mission（使命）.
As a hiker and lover of the outdoors,the 27-year-old decided she was going to climb all 58 of Colorado's 14，000 feet mountains with the goal of raising awareness and funding for families around the world who have lost their homes and are now facing the threat of the disease.78 days and nearly 600 miles of hiking later,Woodrnm raised ＄85，000 from friends,family and strangers around the world.All while carrying the symbolic - and useful - 14-pound box.
Woodrum said because the project came together so quickly,she didn't think she would raise more than ﹩5，000."Word seemed to spread very quickly and a lot of people were equally moved by ShelterBox's mission and what I was doing." she said."I have a large amount of gratitude to everyone who came out to support me both virtually and physically."
The journey was not easy."There were a lot of variables（可变因素）involved," she said."From the weather to my health and well-being.I am so relieved that everything went better than expected."
8. What can we learn about ShelterBox？ ______
A. Its goal is to rebuild homes for the homeless.
B. It is an official disaster relief organization.
C. It often sets a tight schedule for its ambassadors.
D. Its ambassadors should carry green boxes for tasks
9. Which of the following can best describe Woodrum？ ______
A. Considerate and intelligent. B. Generous and flexible.
C. Adventurous and sympathetic. D. Creative and determined.
10. How did Woodrum feel about the result of her project？ ______
A. Confident. B. Unexpected. C. Unsatisfied. D. Ambitious.
11. What is the best title for the text？ ______
A. Hard Journey to Raise Money
B. New Plan of Brittney Woodrum
C. ShelterBox Stands by Poor Families
D. Student Climbs Mountains for Charity

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Grady and his family go camping every summer.As it was becoming hotter,here came the camping time.
Having planned the camp long,the family finally decided the destination - the Great National Forest.With food,necessity and cookers loaded onto the car,the family squeezed into the car.The car door closed,heat was shut outside.
In the car,Jared,Grady's younger brother was playing with a toy dinosaur,making great noise.Grady's mother talked excitedly with his father.On settling in the car,Grady put on the earphone and turned on the music.He neither wanted to join his brother nor joined any talk.After what seemed to be hours,the car stopped where they headed.Grady threw down his backpack and slammed the car door.
"This will be a lengthy week," he said unhappily to no one in particular.He looked around the campground.Hundreds of tall and green fir trees,some as tall as church towers,covered the mountainside like a green carpet.The sun would be setting soon.Grady thought maybe the heat wouldn't be unbearable.But actually now in the mountain,the hot stickiness of July was closely attached to him.
Grady hated camping,but it was something his family stuck to every summer.His father liked cooking over an open air,telling stories about how to survive things like bear attacks and bites of bees.His mother and Jared liked to hike and take pictures of animals.Jared had a collection of bug pictures that he had pinned to the walls in his half of their room.Grady thought they were just scary and proof that Jared was a strange kid.
They set up camp - two tents,one for his parents and one for himself and Jared.While everyone else started preparing dinner,Grady,looking for some place to cool down,set off for the nearby stream,which was deep enough to swim in.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
As Grady got close to the stream,an adorable bear cub （幼崽）caught his eye.________
Turning around,he saw an angry bear moving swiftly towards him.______

As Grady got close to the stream,an adorable bear cub caught his eye.Though Grady didn't like animals,he couldn't resist such a lovely bear cub measuring no more than two feet tall with a cute face.【高分句型一】It was playing pretty joyfully at the edge of the stream.So absorbed was the bear cub in playing that it wasn't aware that someone was approaching.【高分句型二】Driven by curiosity,Grady walked on tiptoe,moving closer to have a look at it.Suddenly he heard a sound behind him.（格雷迪由于好奇靠近小熊，突然听到有声音）

Turning around,he saw an angry bear moving swiftly towards him.Shocked and dumb,Grady was rooted onto the ground for seconds,and then dashed to their camp desperately,shouting for help in the meantime.Fortunately,Grady's father heard the shout in time to come to his assistance.To their surprise,realizing the danger was away,the furry giant stopped chasing and returned to the stream,picking up her baby,and holding it in arms tightly In the distance,attracted by the noise,Jared and his mother were trying to take a photo of the bear cub and its mother.（格雷迪遇到了只愤怒的大熊后逃生的过程以及获得了爸爸的帮助得救后，对大熊抱住孩子的场景的描述）
