一、
My, what a big beak you have!
For humans, adapting to climate change will mostly be a matter of technology. More air conditioning, better-designed houses and bigger flood defenses may help to make the effects of a warmer world less harmful. ①_________ In a paper published in Trends & Evolution, a team led by Sara Ryding, a PhD candidate at Deakin University, shows that is already happening. Climate change is already altering the bodies of many animal species, giving them bigger beaks (喙), legs and ears.
In some species of Australian parrot, for instance, beak size has increased by between 4% and 10% since 1871. Another study, this time in North American dark-eyed juncos, another bird, found the same pattern. ②_________
All that is perfectly consistent with evolutionary theory. "Allen's rule", named for Joel Asaph Allen, who suggested it in 1877, holds that warm-blooded animals in hot places tend to have larger body parts than those in temperate (温带的) regions. ③_________ Being richly filled with blood vessels, and not covered by feathers, beaks make an ideal place for birds to get rid of heat. Fennec foxes, meanwhile, which are native to the Sahara Desert, have strikingly large ears, especially compared with their Arctic cousins.
Ms. Ryding is not the first researcher to take that approach. But it is hard, when dealing with individual species, to prove that climate change was the cause of an anatomical (解剖学的) changes. All sorts of other factors, from changes in prey to the evolving reproductive preferences of males or females, might have been driving the changes. ④_________ The team combined data from different species in different places. Since they have little in common apart from living on a warming planet, climate change is the most reasonable explanation.
⑤_________ That may change as warming accelerates. Since any evolutionary adaptation comes with trade-offs (妥协), it is unclear how far the process might go. Bigger beaks might make feeding harder, for instance. Larger wings are heavier, and bigger legs cost more energy to grow.
A.However, looking at the bigger picture makes the pattern clearer.
B.For now, at least, the increase is small, never much more than 10%.
C.Animals will have to rely on changing their bodies or their behaviors.
D.It seems that the future world is going to be hotter than humans are used to.
E.Therefore, the negative effects of a warmer world are visible in these animals' bodies.
F.Such adaptations boost an animal's surface area relative to its body, helping it to release extra heat.
G.Similar trends are seen in mammals, with species of mice and bats evolving bigger ears, legs and wings.

What is heritage The word can be difficult to define. Heritage is always something that is passed down by families or other groups for many years. ①______ It can also be the customs, traditions, and values shared by groups of people. One way to think about heritage is to break it down into three groups. These are the tangible (有形的) cultural heritage, the natural heritage, and the intangible cultural heritage.
②______ They can include many human-made objects that hold cultural value. Some examples are national monuments and works of art. Many ancient sites are also part of this group. On a smaller scale, a family home can be part of an individual's heritage.
Many parts of the natural world are also important to heritage. They can include bodies of water, plant life, landforms and more. One example is the Nile River. ③______Efforts to protect natural heritage are key in many cultures.
The intangible group includes any part of cultural heritage that you can't feel through touch. Maybe you've read about forms of dance, like flamenco. You might know about the music of mariachi bands. These are all examples of intangible cultural heritage.④______
Exploring your own heritage can be fun. It can help you learn about yourself, your family, and your ancestors. But it's also important to learn about the heritage of others. ⑤______ It can also lead you to find things you may have in common with others!
A. They are treasures that can be touched.
B. What tangible items can be part of heritage
C. However, heritage isn't limited to concrete objects.
D. Languages, holidays and customs also make the list.
E. Therefore, it's difficult to protect them from fading away.
F. Doing so can help you build a stronger understanding of other cultures.
G. It has been part of heritage in many African nations for centuries.
三、
Here are the don'ts and do's of showing your support for your friends when they're having a hard time.
①_________. There are two problematic kinds of helpers: enthusiasts and fretters. Enthusiasts tend to push their advice----to insist on fixing or overcoming the problem. Fretters are so worried about their friend's challenges that they are constantly concerned about whether they are doing enough to help. Try to keep those behaviors in check. No one should have to manage you when they're going through a tragedy.
Don't minimize the pain and stay away from statistics. For example, if a friend failed the college exam, don't tell him that 70% of students end in failure. Remember that it doesn't mean less pain just because it happens to a lot of people. ②_________
Keep the focus on your friends. When your friends are talking to you, it's easy for you to share a similar story an effort to relate and connect. ③_________They might feel that you've made their pain about you. If you do feel that your experience might be helpful to them, let them know that you went through something similar but allow them to decide if they want to hear about it at the moment.
Showing up isn't a one-time thing Remember that grief(悲伤) is so complex and your friends might go through several stages of sorrow. ④_________It means a lot if your friends know that you are thinking about them all the time.
Ask your friends how you can best help. ⑤_________Just ask.
A. Don't let them stay alone.
B. But it's not always welcome.
C. Try not to be over-enthusiastic or over-worried.
D. Keep in touch with them and see if they need your support.
E. Share it with them immediately to show them they are not alone.
F. You don't need to automatically know what kind of help they want.
G. Instead, feel with your friend the bigness of what they're going through.
四、

解析:①逻辑关系题。根据上文For humans, adapting to climate change will mostly be a matter of technology. More air conditioning, better-designed houses and bigger flood defenses may help to make the effects of a warmer world less harmful. (对人类来说,适应气候变化将主要是技术问题。更多的空调、更好设计的房屋和更大的防洪系统可能有助于缓解全球变暖的影响。)可知,人类依靠的是科学技术来适应气候变化。选项C. Animals will have to rely on changing their bodies or their behaviors.动物将不得不依靠改变它们的身体或行为(去适应)。承接上文,说明和人类不同,动物要适应气候变化就只能依靠它们的身体和行为。从而引出下文对于动物适应气候变化发生的变化的讲述,上下文通顺合理。故选C项。

③推理判断题。根据上文All that is perfectly consistent with evolutionary theory. "Allen's rule", named for Joel Asaph Allen, who suggested it in 1877, holds that warm-blooded animals in hot places tend to have larger body parts than those in temperate (温带的) regions. ("艾伦法则"是以Joel Asaph Allen的名字命名的,他在1877年提出了这一法则,认为在炎热地区的温血动物往往比在不那么炎热地区的动物有更大的附属物。)可知,炎热地区的温血动物往往长有更大的附属物,这是动物对气候的一种适应,选项F. Such adaptations boost an animal's surface area relative to its body, helping it to release extra heat. (这种适应性增加了动物相对于其身体体积的表面积,帮助它释放多余的热量。)解释了这种现象的产生原因。下文 Being richly filled with blood vessels, and not covered by feathers, beaks make an ideal place for birds to get rid of heat.
