　　Now scientists believe that global warming affects hibernating animals, causing them to wake up earlier. While this may seem a little concern, it is in fact a significant environmental problem. The shortened hibernation period could actually lead to significant declines in the population of several species.

　　Some of the first concrete evidence of the phenomenon came from Colorado, where researchers at the Rocky Mountain Biological lab have been observing marmot(旱獺)hibernation behavior since the 1970s. In the early days of their studies, marmots generally hibernated several weeks into the month of May. Nowadays, however, temperatures in the area have risen by 2. 5 degrees Fahrenheit, and the marmots wake up about a month earlier.

　　At least the marmots are still hibernating. Several other animals have not been hibernating at all recently. Brown bears in the Spanish Cantabrian Mountains did not hibernate last year. In parts of the United States, chipmunks(花鼠)also skipped the hibernation period. The bears seem to have survived without losing many individuals. The chipmunks, however, were not so lucky. Many of the animals died of starvation during the winter.

　　The problem with animals waking up early, or skipping hibernation altogether, lies with the creatures’ metabolism(新陳代謝). When the animals hibernate, their metabolism drops significantly. The animals’ heart rate slows, and they require very little energy to live. When the animals awake from their winter slumber, their metabolism returns to normal.

　　But while their metabolism may be as active as it was before hibernation, food sources aren’t as available as they were before. A marmot may wake up when temperatures get warmer, thinking it’s spring, but plants will not have got the amount of sun they need to signal their spring period of growth. So until the plants grow, the marmots have no reliable food source.

　　Many scientists believe the problem will continue to get worse. In addition to changes in hibernation patterns, some believe that other animals will also begin to change their migration patterns or begin to give birth earlier. For many biologists, that’s a scary prospect. Terry Root, an animal expert at Stanford University, said, “I do think what we will be facing is the extinction of many species. ”

　　1. What is the viewpoint of the writer?

　　A. Global warming will continue to get worse as time goes on.

　　B. Global warming will lead to shortened hibernation of some animals.

　　C. Shortened hibernation will result in declines in the population of animals.

　　D. Some animals will skip hibernation altogether.

　　2. The writer sets the example of the marmot so as to　.

　　A. explain that global warming influences animals’ hibernation

　　B. indicate that the weather gets warmer and warmer now

　　C. show that the weather in the United States is quite different

　　D. say some animals do not hibernate now due to warm weather

　　3. The underlined word “slumber” in the fourth paragraph means“　”.

　　A. weather

　　B. activity

　　C. nest

　　D. sleep

　　4. Why can’t marmots find enough food when they wake up?

　　A. Because there are too many marmots in the wild now.

　　B. Because plants haven’t received enough sunlight for spring growth.

　　C. Because winter days end much earlier than before.

　　D. Because more and more animal species skip hibernation now.

　　5. Terry Root holds a(n)　attitude towards the future of animals.

　　A. optimistic

　　B. doubtful

　　C. pessimistic

　　D. sensitive

　　(2024·六合模擬)

　　Criticism(批評)is everywhere in life. It is up to you to decide how to react to it. Learn how to deal with criticism and lead a happier and more relaxing life.

　　Ask yourself how the criticism will affect you. Will you lose your job because of the criticism? Will you lose what is important to you because you are criticized? Will life stop existing if your opinions are not accepted? Surely not! So, don’t worry about it. Instead, remember that some criticism actually helps you make some improvements.

　　You absolutely cannot stop what people say. What you can do, however, is to change the way you react to criticism. If you let it upset you, then the blame is on you. You have the right to decide what to do with the criticism you receive.

　　Don’t be afraid to accept criticism. No one likes to be told that he is wrong. Yet, every single person has, at one time or another, been blamed for something. Realize that it’s normal. You may have received some strong criticism, but it doesn’t mean that you are foolish, or that you don’t have the ability to do something properly. If you are afraid to put your work out for others to see, you’ll never know if you are a capable person. Try not to think of it in that way and don’t take it seriously. If you can learn to be optimistic, you will remove some stress and nervousness about what people think, thus becoming happier.

　　Consider where the criticism comes from. It may help you step back and examine what causes the criticism. Is the critic just trying to offer constructive criticism? It is much easier to accept correction or guidance from someone that has good intentions. This type of criticism is known as valid criticism, because there is a valid point or reason to it. On the other hand, there are critics that offer their advice just to be negative. This is commonly referred to as invalid criticism because it is often not of any use at all.

　　Do your best. And if someone doesn’t like what you’ve done, so what? It’s either valid criticism or invalid criticism. But you have the power to decide how you will allow it to affect you.

　　閱讀理解——巧妙運用“掃讀”技巧, 快速定位關鍵信息

　　“掃讀”是一種快速閱讀的解題技巧, 指的是帶有預定目的地尋找文章中的相關信息, 從而快速確定答案的技巧。在掃讀過程中, 我們忽略與題目要求不相關的信息, 尋找具體相關的事實信息。此方法主要針對主旨大意題和詞義猜測題。

　　“掃讀”一般分“三步”進行。第一步: 閱讀題干, 明確要求; 第二步: 掃讀短文, 查找相關信息; 第三步: 確定關鍵詞語, 定位答案。例如閱讀理解第3題, 根據題干The underlined word “slumber” in the fourth paragraph要求, 快速掃讀到第

　　段, 快速掃讀段落內容確定關鍵詞語“”就可判斷出答案為。

　　Ⅰ. 1. 【解析】選B。考查動詞辨析。句意: 格林小姐經常說“天助自助者”, 意在讓我們銘記獨立的重要性。base基于; impress給……以深刻印象, 使銘記; focus集中; rely依賴, 依靠。固定表達impress. . . on sb. 意思“使某人銘記……”。

　　2. 【解析】選C。考查近義短語的用法區別。句意: 我的錢快花光了, 因此我不得不打電話給我父母說我想念他們。run out只能是物作主語, 后面不能加任何東西, 也沒有被動; run out of后面要帶賓語, 也有被動, 一般是人作主語; use up是及物動詞, 有被動, 后面帶賓語。

　　3. 【解析】選C。考查名詞辨析。句意: 這家餐館越來越出名是由于它做的各種各樣的食物適合各種口味和消費水平的人群。division分隔, 隔離; area地區; range同一種類之中的一系列; circle圈。a range of強調一個系列, 而a wide range of意為“各種各樣的”, 符合題意。

　　【解析】選A。考查名詞辨析。句意: 北方氣溫的年度變化范圍有可能達30℃到40℃, 這在南方很少見。range范圍; concern關心, 關注; diversity差異, 多樣性; level水平。由句意可知, 選A。

　　4. 【解析】選C。考查倍數表達法。句意: ——這架飛機模型是什么樣子的? ——它的機翼的長度是機身長度的兩倍多。此題使用了倍數表達句型, 先說倍數再說其他, 且為避免重復用that代指上文出現的名詞length。

　　5.【解析】選C。考查非謂語動詞的用法。句意: 兩年前我得到在你的公司工作的機會, 我對此非常感激。appreciate表示“感激”, 其后通常接動名詞作賓語, 而動詞give與I之間為被動關系, 故選C項。

　　【加固訓練】
