26、Birds’ bodies are becoming smaller in size in response to climate change, even in places like the Amazon rainforest that are relatively untouched by human hands, according to a new study published in the journal Science Advances.

Researchers found that nearly all of the birds’ bodies have become lighter since the 1980s, losing on average about 2% of their body weight every decade. For an average bird species that weighed about 30 grams in the 1980s, the population now averages about 27.6 grams. The study also revealed that wingspan was getting bigger in the Amazon bird species studied.

These birds don’t vary that much in size. When everyone in the population is a couple of grams smaller, it’s significant. This is undoubtedly happening all over and probably not just with birds.

A lower body weight and increasing wing length means that birds use energy more efficiently, the researchers noted. For example, compared with a fighter jet with short wings that needs lots of fuel to fly, a glider plane with a thin body and long wings flies up into the air with much less energy.

The study concluded that a warmer climate was the driving force of these changes. The climate in Brazilian Amazonia, where the birds lived, had gotten hotter and wetter over the study period. Since 1966, rainfall increased by 13% in the wet season and fell by 15% in the dry, with temperatures increasing by 1 degree Celsius in the wet season and 1.65 degrees Celsius in the dry season. The change in climate might have made food or other resources insufficient.

Together, body proportions moved in the direction of more efficient flight and lower metabolic heat production and are consistent with a plastic or genetic adaptation to resource or thermal stress under climate change.

Animals are dealing with climate change in different ways.

【1】What is the direct cause of birds’ changes?

A．A warmer climate.

B．A scientific advance.

C．A lack of sufficient food.

D．A lack of drinking water

【2】Why is a glider plane mentioned in paragraph 4?

A．To show planes fly with much less fuel.

B．To prove birds need much energy to fly.

C．To demonstrate birds’ efficient energy use.

D．To illustrate planes need lots of fuel to fly.

【3】What will probably be discussed in the following paragraph?

A．Animals’ other body part changes.

B．People’s attempts to protect animals.

C．Birds’ adaptation to climate change.

D．Animals’ ways to tackle climate change

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．Birds Nowadays Also Have to Adapt to Climate Change

B．The Climate Crisis Is Influencing Birds’ Body Shapes

C．It’s Our Duty to Take Measures to Protect Birds on the Planet

D．It’s Time to Raise Human Beings’ Awareness of Climate Crisis

27、Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without mountains of wrapping paper covering the floor on 25 December. Or would it?

A rise in interest in crafting(手工艺)，coupled with a greater awareness of the environment under lockdown, has led to an increase in interest in furoshiki-the Japanese art of fabric wrapping this year.

Furoshiki are traditional Japanese cloths used to transport food, clothes or gifts. They are increasingly being accepted by shoppers as an alternative to paper. The cloths are easy to use: gifts are placed in the centre of the fabric, which is then tucked(卷起)around the object and fastened with a knot (结).

Because fabric is so much more malleable (可塑的)than wrapping paper, it can be used to make even the most awkward-shaped gifts look professionally wrapped. The Covid-19 pandemic(大流行病)has brought the environment into a new focus for people, causing people all to make more environmentally conscious decisions around what we buy.

Part of the appeal of fabric wrapping is that it is a present in itself. The receiver can not only enjoy a beautifully wrapped gift but can then reuse the cloth to give a gift of their own.

Some customers use their cloth within family or friendship circles, so that it eventually makes its way back to them. There’s a certain magic and tradition in passing it from person to person.

Then there’s the rising interest in craft. Fabric wrapping is often handmade. Compared to standard wrapping paper, fabric wrapping offers more chances to experiment with different folding techniques and the way it lends itself to botanical decoration. There is a huge appetite for people wanting to learn new craft skills and perhaps create their own gifts for friends and family.

The practice of using furoshiki became widespread during Japan’s Edo period (1603-1868), when people bundled(捆)their clothes in fabric while visiting public baths. The custom was generally the preserve of older people in Japan, but younger generations are getting on board as a result of the pandemic. They have started to reconsider their ways of life.

【1】Which of the following can best describe furoshiki?

A．Sustainable.

B．Wasteful.

C．Complex to knot.

D．Awkward to carry.

【2】What is the advantage of furoshiki over standard wrapping paper?

A．It has less human touch.

B．It improves gardening skills.

C．It stimulates appetite for food.

D．It offers more space for creativity.

【3】Why does furoshiki begin to be accepted by younger people?

A．It has a long family tradition.

B．Pandemic promotes green rethink.

C．Public baths are gaining popularity.

D．It’s their turn to preserve the custom.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．The history of furoshiki.

B．The benefits of furoshiki.

C．Ways to wrap a gift with furoshiki.

D．Reasons for a growing interest in furoshiki.

28、On a recent sunny day, 13,000 chickens roam over Larry Brown’s 40 windswept acres in Shiner, Texas. Some rest in the shade of a parked car. Others drink water with the cows. This all seems random, but it’s by design, part of what the $6.1 billion U.S. egg industry bets will be its next big thing: climate-friendly eggs.

These eggs, which are making their debut now on shelves for as much as $8 a dozen, are still labeled organic and animal-friendly, but they’re also from birds that live on farms using regenerative agriculture — special techniques to cultivate rich soils that can trap greenhouse gases. Such eggs could be marketed as helping to fight climate change.

“I’m excited about our progress,” says Brown, who harvests eggs for Denver-based NestFresh Eggs and is adding more cover crops that draw worms and crickets for the chickens to eat. The birds’ waste then fertilizes fields. Such improvements “allow our hens to forage for high-quality natural feed that will be good for the land, the hens, and the eggs that we supply to our customers.”

The egg industry’s push is the first major test of whether animal products from regenerative farms can become the next premium offering. In barely more than a decade, organic eggs went from being dismissed as a niche product in natural foods stores to being sold at Walmart. More recently there were similar doubts about probiotics and plant-based meats, but both have exploded into major supermarket categories. If the sustainable-egg rollout is successful, it could open the floodgates for regenerative beef, broccoli, and beyond.

Regenerative products could be a hard sell, because the concept is tough to define quickly, says Julie Stanton, associate professor of agricultural economics at Pennsylvania State University Brandywine. Such farming also brings minimal, if any, improvement to the food products (though some producers say their eggs have more protein).

The industry is betting that the same consumers paying more for premium attributes such as free-range, non-GMO, and pasture-raised eggs will embrace sustainability. Surveys show that younger generations are more concerned about climate change, and some of the success of plant- based meat can be chalked up to shoppers wanting to signal their desire to protect the environment. Young adults “really care about the planet,” says John Brunnquell, president of Egg Innovations. “They are absolutely altering the food chain beyond what I think even they understand what they’re doing.”

【1】The climate friendly eggs are produced ______.

A．at a considerably low cost

B．at the demand of regular shoppers

C．as a replacement for organic eggs

D．on specially designed farms

【2】Larry Brown is excited about his progress in ______.

A．reducing the damage of worms

C．creating a sustainable system

D．attracting customers to his products

【3】It can be learned from the last paragraph that young people ______.

A．are desperate to change their diet

B．are likely to buy climate-friendly eggs

C．are enthusiastic about new food

D．are amazed at environmental problems

【4】John Brunnquell would disagree with Julie Stanton over regenerative products’ ______.

A．market prospects

B．nutritional value

C．standard definition

D．moral implications

29、An old man walked slowly into a restaurant with his cane (拐杖). His old jacket and shoes made him unusual that day.

A young waitress named Mary watched him move towards a table by the window. She ran over to him, and said with a smile, “Here, sir.

31、课文填空

New ideas and values gradually replaced old ones from the Middle Ages. As a result, painters concentrated less on religious themes. They began to adopt a more 【1】attitude to life. An important breakthrough during this period was the use of【2】by Masaccio (1401-1428).【3】painters such as Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), Michelangelo (1475-1564), and Raphael (1483-1520) built upon Giotto and Masaccio’s innovations to produce some of the greatest art that Europe had ever seen.

In subject matter, the 【4】increasingly shifted from religious themes to people and the world around us. Kings, nobles, and people of high rank wanted to purchase【5】pictures of themselves and the people they loved. Others wanted paintings showing important【6】events or stories from mythology. Finally, most clients wanted paintings that were beautiful and interesting to look at.
