Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。研究人员通过近40年对77种鸟类的研究发现,因全球气候变暖在亚马逊雨林地带的鸟类的身体越来越小、翅膀越来越长。
1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Hotter, drier conditions over the past four decades have been decreasing the rainforest birds’ body size while lengthening their wings, a study published in the journal Science Advances said on Friday.”可知,研究发现亚马逊雨林地带的鸟类的身体变得更小、翅膀变得更长。故选D项。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第二段“The scientists have studied measurements and weigh-ins of 77 different bird species in the Amazon rainforest since the early 1980s.”可知,研究人员对亚马逊雨林中77种不同鸟类的测量值和重量进行了研究,即他们是通过分析搜集的数据来进行研究的。故选A项。
3.C 推理判断题。根据第一段“Hotter, drier conditions over the past four decades have been decreasing the rainforest birds’ body size while lengthening their wings…”和第三段“The researchers found that bird species living in higher parts of the forest—as opposed to closer to the forest floor—saw the most pronounced changes in terms of body composition. Those are the species most exposed to high temperatures. Longer wings and smaller bodies mean that birds have to use less energy to move around, helping them stay cool.”可知,鸟类形态的变化是由气候变暖造成的,而生活在森林较高区域的鸟类更多地暴露在高温下,所以它们的变化最大。故选C项。
4.B 推理判断题。最后一段“Brian Weeks of the University of Michigan in 2019 researched the average sizes of 52 species of migratory birds in North America from 1978 to 2016. He also found all of them had smaller bodies and longer wings in 2016. This is another example of climate change—human actions globally—affecting a fundamental thing such as the size and shape of the birds. The same effect is likely to be true of other species across the world living in extreme environments.”提到了另外一项研究,气候变化致使北美候鸟的身体更小、翅膀更长,并预测世界上生活在极端环境中的其他物种可能也会受到同样的影响。这些不良影响是由人类造成的,作者在这一段进一步强调人类的不良影响。故选B项。
Ⅵ.【文章大意】 这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了Angela创立了名为 “Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea”的社区组织,致力于清理海岸垃圾,并将海岸垃圾创作成海洋生物雕塑以给人警醒:人们需要的是一个洁净的海洋。

Hotter, drier conditions over the past four decades have been decreasing the rainforest birds’ body size while lengthening their wings, a study published in the journal Science Advances said on Friday. “This may be an adaptation to hotter temperatures. Even in the middle of the primitive Amazon rainforest, we are seeing the global effects of climate change caused by people,” said Vitek Jirinec, lead author on the study.
The scientists have studied measurements and weigh-ins of 77 different bird species in the Amazon rainforest since the early 1980s. Nearly all of the bird species have got lighter as time goes on. On average, most species became about 2% lighter every decade. “These birds don’t vary that much in size,” said co-author Philip Stouffer, a professor of conservation biology at Louisiana State University. “But when everyone in the population is a couple of grams smaller, it’s significant.”
The researchers found that bird species living in higher parts of the forest—as opposed to closer to the forest floor—saw the most pronounced changes in terms of body composition. Those are the species most exposed to high temperatures. Longer wings and smaller bodies mean that birds have to use less energy to move around, helping them stay cool.
Brian Weeks of the University of Michigan in 2019 researched the average sizes of 52 species of migratory birds in North America from 1978 to 2016. He also found all of them had smaller bodies and longer wings in 2016. This is another example of climate change—human actions globally—affecting a fundamental thing such as the size and shape of the birds. The same effect is likely to be true of other species across the world living in extreme environments.
( )1.What does the new study find about the birds in the Amazon rainforest
A.They are flying much higher.
B.They have been physically longer.
C.They are more flexible than adaptable.
D.They have got smaller and longer-winged.
( )2.How did researchers conduct their study
A.By analysing the collected data.
B.By referring to historical records.
C.By observing birds in the forests.
D.By cooperating with other research groups.
( )3.What made the birds living in higher parts of the forest change most

Ⅴ阅读理解［2024·广西高二期中联考］
Hotter, drier conditions over the past four decades have
been decreasing the rainforest birds' body size while lengthening
their wings, a study published in the journal Science Advances
said on Friday. “This may be an adaptation to hotter
temperatures. Even in the middle of the primitive Amazon
rainforest, we are seeing the global effects of climate change
caused by people,” said Vitek Jirinec, lead author on the study.

The scientists have studied measurements and weigh-ins of
77 different bird species in the Amazon rainforest since the
early 1980s. Nearly all of the bird species have got lighter as
time goes on. On average, most species became about 2%
lighter every decade. “These birds don't vary that much in size,”
said co-author Philip Stouffer, a professor of conservation
biology at Louisiana State University. “But when everyone in the
population is a couple of grams smaller, it's significant.”

The researchers found that bird species living in higher
parts of the forest—as opposed to closer to the forest floor—
saw the most pronounced changes in terms of body
composition. Those are the species most exposed to high
temperatures. Longer wings and smaller bodies mean that birds
have to use less energy to move around, helping them stay
cool.

Brian Weeks of the University of Michigan in 2019 researched
the average sizes of 52 species of migratory birds in North
America from 1978 to 2016. He also found all of them had
smaller bodies and longer wings in 2016. This is another example
of climate change—human actions globally—affecting a
fundamental thing such as the size and shape of the birds. The
same effect is likely to be true of other species across the
world living in extreme environments.
